Best food establishments uk in Reading

“We love this place! I go in regularly for coffee in the mornings (which is amazing and really hits the spot). Last week we went for a quick lunch which was absolutely fantastic. Brilliant and authentic momos and excellent flavours in their wraps. Will be going back for sure.”

“Hey Presto! From the moment we arrived, the service at this place was exceptional. Despite being a large party of 15, they accommodated us at very short notice—something many places wouldn’t even attempt on a busy weekend day. The manager/owner personally welcomed us, which set the tone for the rest of our visit. He went out of his way to explain that the chicken and lamb are halal, which was not only thoughtful but allowed several of us to explore more of the menu confidently. On his recommendation, we ordered the chicken focaccia, which turned out to be a standout—tender, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommended. The pizzas were genuinely authentic Neapolitan style—light, airy crust with just the right char, and high-quality ingredients you can taste in every bite. The food came out quickly, and despite the group size, the waitresses were welcoming, attentive, and incredibly efficient, ensuring everyone was looked after without missing a beat. To finish, we had coffee—and I can honestly say, it was the best I’ve had in Maidenhead. Rich, smooth, and perfectly pulled. We followed that with fresh cannoli, which were the ideal sweet finish. There’s a certain charm to the atmosphere here. With the smell of fresh dough, barista-quality coffee, and the staff’s warmth, if the people around were dressed just a bit more elegantly, you might just mistake yourself for an eaterie in Naples or Rome. This was my first visit to Presto, but absolutely won’t be the last. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food, personal service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere all in one.”

“Went to my first casual play night at Food and Board and it was amazing! Great staff and very welcoming players, suitable for all abilities. They have a fantastic range of board games so will be back for them sometime soon! Thanks for the great night!”

“when I used the patch the first week it was like a miracle had happened no back pain at all as I have spondylitis and disc problems which are very painful the second week the pain started returning but has settled down again I put a patch on every 24 hours and I do have some relief thank you so much Maureen”

“1000% would recommend popping in here for a great feed. Hands down my favourite Mexican I’ve had so far since moving to the UK. The beef brisket is so full of flavor and juicy. As you can see from the photos we ordered quite a lot and there wasn’t a single bad plate of food. Every plate was delicious and very reasonably priced. If you’re in the Reading area and are looking for some amazing food, definitely stop off here. :)”

“Great quality pan pizzas - good value and I keep coming back for more.”

“This man knows his flavours, all enjoy everything when he is at breach farm brewery, the quesadillas are awesome. Taco's fantastic, his jollof rice is something else. Everything seasoned perfectly. Always smiling and always happy to interact with the customers. Fantastic all round”

“We ate the burrito was tasty, but I guess a little bit less spicy”

“Very attentive wait staff that take their work seriously, great authentic food and a buzzing, vibrant atmosphere. Would recommend.”

“We hired Hermanos Taco truck to come to our office for our work Christmas do and it was brilliant! Eveything from the nachos and guacamole to start to the gorgeous tacos for main and then the tequila mince pies and delicious chocolate desserts, everyone loved it! Communication from the start was brilliant, clear and prompt and the service on the night was second to none- would thoroughly recommend and will be definitely hiring this company again for any other event. Thank you.”

“Very tasty grilled food. Nice view of river Thames. The tea is great as well.”

“*5/5 Stars* "I stumbled upon Chopstik Noodle Bar last night, and I'm so glad I did! As a noodle enthusiast, I was blown away by the variety of options on the menu and spicy. I opted for the Spicy chicken with noodles , and it did NOT disappoint. The service was also top-notch. Staff was friendly and attentive. Overall, I'm so impressed with Chopstik Noodle Bar. The prices are reasonable, the portions are generous, and the flavors are on point. I'll definitely be back!”

“Stopped in yesterday for the first time. Needed refills of non bio laundry soap and dishwasher tabs. Ended up with lots of goodies!! Especially loved buying from the bulk area with supplied paper bags. I'll bring my own containers next time. Some lovely local apples, both eaten now. And the man at the register reminded me about getting bread. I chose the sourdough sliced and it is amazingly good!! It went immediately into the freezer as it's a giant loaf that will last us a good month of daily eating. Today it toasted up crisp on the edges and moist in the middle. This is better than pizza crust! Best bread ever and we'll be back!! Thank you to all who support this store.”

“A very nice, clean and welcoming shop. The products are great and good range too. The person working there is putting a lot of effort and passion in everything he does.”

“The dark eel roll was a perfect balance of flavours and the lotus root had a satisfying crunch. The Oolong tea was weak for my preference but still worth it. Service was fast and efficient!”

“Great Turkish grocery store with a very wide range of Mediterranean delicacies. They have a good selection of Turkish, Greek and Polish brands. A great cheese selection. Very fresh green grocer section. They also have a hallal butcher section. Most importantly fresh baklava. I'm happy we found it because some dishes need the original ingredients.”

“Noah was absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience at Slug and Lettuce thanks to him. He was friendly, attentive, and constantly made sure our drinks were topped up without us even having to ask. Brilliant service from start to finish — he really made our visit enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for Noah!”

“Good cinema with reclining chairs. The price higher than the competitors but the seat comfort might satisfy you. They got cheaper tickets prices Monday. Also with some promotions like if you have "meerkat cinema 2 for 1". They got insider cinema card where you can by tickets with offer and got some money back in the wallet put towards a another tickets. Also if yoy got company perks available you can save on those ticket prices too. If you love to go cinema just try it. Locate your nearest one. Enjoy your big screen entertainment!”

“Came here on my lunch break, ordered the large box because I thought the small and medium looked too small however my eyes mislead me the large was very hard to finish and more than enough! Very delicious food, waiting time wasn’t bad either and a lovely restaurant. Will definitely come again and I recommend”

“Nice and quiet place for dinner. I had the chicken shish taouk wrap and Fatayer. The wrap is 8/10 and the prices are reasonable”

“Lovely staff! Happy to take us as a walk in even when we arrived late at night, food so so tasty especially the chicken and vine leaves. Thank you!”

“Amazing service from Tommy , food was great and well seasoned , all salad was nice and fresh and crispy and desert was delectable. 100% recommend , best kebab in Theale and surrounding areas”

“I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.”

“Very tasty food and a good atmosphere. Our server Klaudia was very kind and attentive to us, we will definitely come back again.”

“I had an amazing experience at SKVP Reading. The food was absolutely outstanding — full of flavour, fresh, and truly authentic Indian street food. The service was excellent as well. A special mention to Mandeep Kaur, who attended me with so much humility and kindness. She was very polite, helpful, and made the whole experience even better. Highly recommended! Will definitely visit again.”

“I cannot recommend Biryani Boyzz enough! The food was absolutely amazing full of flavour and perfectly cooked. We were even given more food than expected, on the house, which was such a generous touch. From start to finish, everything was flawless. Communication was excellent, and they even allowed us to sample the food beforehand, which really showed how much they care about their customers. Faisal and Ibrahim were incredibly accommodating, making the whole experience smooth and stress-free. Their customer service is truly 10/10. Not only was the catering top quality, but the pricing was also very reasonable for the standard provided. Honestly, they are probably the best Asian caterers in Reading. I’ll definitely be using Biryani Boyzz again for future events and will be recommending them to everyone. Thank you for making everything perfect!”

“One of the best ramen I tried so far here in the UK. Flavour is good and the broth is rich and delicious. Good portion and the service is very good, staff and chef very friendly. I can’t wait to try their other dishes. Highly recommend them.”

“Really enjoyed my burger the other day. Great having the choice on how you want it cooked and really loved the onion rings. Staff were great too. Can’t remember his name but the tall older manager was great and really knew the menu and made a great recommendation.”

“Takeaway Burrito. Really impressed. The burrito was a great size with loads of filling options. I went for chicken with coriander rice; pico and sweetcorn salsa with some spicy sauce and it was spot on. Fresh, tasty and properly filling. Fair price too at around £8.50. Will definitely be back.”
