Cafe in Reading

“The ice house is a spectacular blend of everything that is good about life. The cocktails, the women and the ice.”

“I enjoyed my latte here after making an enquiry in the Council. It was my first time visit. The coffee was amazing, in reasonable price, and was prepared by the cheerful barista. It was lovely to have sitting area where I could take a little rest and relax.”

“Lovely place, fantastic quality of coffee! I would highly recommend it.”

“First time visit - really nice hot cappuccino with moist home made tasting carrot cake - perfect”

“We met Mannie when she had one of her charcuterie bars at Basing House Wedding Fayre. We really liked this idea and decided to book her for after our wedding as an alternative to the traditional canapés whilst the photos were taking place. Mannie liased with us on what we would like and we chose a mixture of sweet and savoury. On the day she themed the cart to our wedding theme of Christmas and even popped a couple of filled up cones to one side to make sure, as the bride and groom, we got one. We had some lovely comments from people on the day several who went back for seconds. I have no hesitation in thoroughly recommending Mannicitas Catering and the brilliant charcuterie bars for anyone looking for something different to the usual canapés. Thank you, Mannie, for being part of our special day.”

“Love it, perfect stop just before the playground. Very nice ladies have served me. Daughter loves the shortbread biscuit.”

“Delicious coffee and homemade cakes, and also drinks and treats for the kids! My daughter loved her gingerbread person. We already liked Albert Road Park, but this has made it even better!”

“Fantastic for a cycle pit stop. Plenty of space for bikes and great to be on the river.”

“A hidden gem! Second time for my wife. Spent a lovely couple of hours creating a Christmas present for the grandparents with a tea and hot chocolate. The lady running it was very helpful and has twice now helped paint the baby’s hands and feet as we were struggling! Definitely recommend.”

“Jade was fantastic, really helpful and dealt with our request really last min. Everything was perfect. Thanks”

“A great addition to the village! Lovely coffee, and the mini egg brownie was really tasty… and huge!”

“Awesome coffee, lovely people and best price in Woodley even without using a Loyalty card :) (their large mugs actually make you think large) Very peaceful and cozy during the working week and on the weekend if you time it right”

“Lovely location, delicious cake, great coffee. Can’t ask for much more. My advice would be to ignore the snippy negative review and support this fantastic local business.”

“A place to enjoy excellent Indian cuisine, with flavours unlike any other curry house in or around Reading. Dishes we opted for included Nilgri lamb chops, tandoori mixed grill and Bengal Bream - all were excellent, and went down well with a pint of Cobra beer! Coupled with a relaxed atmosphere & great service...makes for a thoroughly enjoyable evening out at a lovely setting in Pangbourne.”

“Delicious cooked breakfast, everything was done really well and the staff were polite and friendly. Definitely be returning if in the area in the future”

“Lovely little place to stop for elevenses or a mid-afternoon cuppa. Tea £1.20, selection of cakes available. No indoor seating, all tables are outside on a little terrace overlooking the park and river. Stunning park.”

“A great spot for coffee and cake pr breakfast / lunch hidden on a business park Quiet, clean and reasonably priced this place is well worth a visit. They also have a few parking spaces of you need to drive Lovely service too”

“Boraca sourced the ideal piece for my dining room after I had seen a similar piece in the shop which had been sold . Great customer service and excellent delivery service”

“This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first time if not better. Our waitress for the night (Lara) was brilliant and made our experience perfect. It’s nice to see someone so young take so much pride and have so much awareness in what she’s doing. Thank you to the whole team for another fantastic experience, and we are already looking forward to visiting again soon.”

“Had a two course lunch off the Festive Menu. Turkey Roulade and Black Forest Gateau. Wonderful food. Marc was very professional and attentive.”

“Stayed for the night following a friend's birthday celebration. Warm welcome on check in and everything explained regarding breakfast and checking out. Beautiful large room for 2 of us to share, everything you could need to make a comfortable stay. Bathroom with a large walk in shower, looked fairly new and sparkling clean. Comfy beds and a fabulous breakfast in the morning. Perfectly poached eggs. The evening meal was lovely everyone was impressed with their choices and portion sizes were fabulous for the price. Staff were happy to add a candle to our friend's desert for us. Definitely would recommend and would stay again if in the area.”

“Last-minute meet-up with a friend to put the world to rights, and Wellington Farm Shop didn’t disappoint. I walked in at 11:45 and it was absolutely packed, so I was fully prepared for a 30–40 minute wait after ordering. Instead, the lady who took my order—who had a brilliant sense of humour—had my breakfast out in just 15 minutes. Wow! What fantastic service delivered by genuinely great staff. I couldn’t resist picking up some of their fresh marinated chicken before leaving, and served it the same night—delicious. A return visit is definitely on the cards. Highly recommended. 5/5”

“Beautiful old pub. Easy to get to with plenty of parking. Nice atmosphere inside, staff are lovely and really helpful. They have a GF menu and were good with allergies, checking what was in some dishes. The online GF filter gave a couple of different options to what dishes were possible when we arrived due to fryer use but still great options. Well-stocked bar with a few more taps to be set up soon.”

“Our first time lunching at the Butcher’s Tap & Grill in Marlow and we were impressed! Dropped in for lunch on Sunday. I had the Korean barbecue Chicken burger w/ Parmesan Truffle fries (w/ a pot of smoked Garlic mayo) and my wife ordered the Sunday Roast Pork belly. She is a Sunday Roast connoisseur and said that this was hands down one of the best Roast Pork she’s ever had. The whole Sunday Roast is almost stuffed into a humongous Yorkshire Pudding! Total “show stopper”…and it’s a proper thick cut roll of roast pork belly with amazing crackling (& all trimmings ie- roast potatoes, carrots, creamed cabbage & apple sauce w/ extra gravy!) My chicken burger was pretty impressive too but I’ll admit I was battling a bad case of food envy looking at my wife’s plate! The fries were completely snowed under a blanket of Parmesan shavings and a super rich truffle mayo! Wow! For drinks we had a bottle of Brewdog IPA and Pimms’. Our total bill for 2 was just under £60. We recently moved into the area and are just 10mins drive away…can’t wait to return! Highly recommended. The customer service was lovely too.”

“Lovely food this afternoon, I had the Lamb Shank, which came to me piping hot, with lots of vegetables & piping hot minty gravy. It was delicious and the hottest meal I’ve had in a very long while .. well done team. Hubby had a burger & chips and his was tasty, and again served piping hot. The main meal came after a little wait which was fine. The drinks came quickly & the only concern was the wait for our dessert, which the one waitress who was serving everyone with food, brought to us as quickly as she could. She was rushed off her feet & She didn’t stop, but was very efficient and had a smile even though she was so busy. I really admired her. The wait for our dessert was a bit unfortunate and unnecessary, but it was delicious. I think they needed another waiter / waitress as one was not enough for the amount of people there today. The main problem was with the state of the restroom / toilets… that seriously needs addressing asap. We’ll definitely return though as the food is always delicious & fresh & piping hot, & we’d recommend it to anyone too. Lovely setting by the river.”

“The fish here was absolutely amazing. The tilapia was cooked perfectly, flaky, juicy, and full of flavour. Definitely recommend the fish of the day dish.”
