Cafe in Reading

“This restaurant is a true gem. The atmosphere, decorations, and music were all excellent and really set a special mood. The entire team of staff members were super friendly. We especially want to highlight Valentina. She was super amazing and so helpful, truly making the entire experience memorable and making our day more special. She's a star!”

“Lovely welcoming space . We took our grandson and he loved it. Plenty of toys to play with and an excellent role play area upstairs. Beautifully warm too. Just perfect on a wet day. I also have to mention how lovely Leon was in welcoming us in Totcity. We will definitely return!”

“Great cafe for the walkers, activity centre users and anyone wanting a coffee / bite to eat. Very friendly staff, efficient service and great food as well as being a dog friendly venue.”

“Brilliant service, would recommend the bbq smash burger!”

“Great coffee shop , reasonable prices,and fantastic service plus a free biscuit with every coffee staying in”

“A really lovely coffee shop situated in Primark now sadly closed. Wishing the staff all the best. Will visit some of them in John Lewis in Reading. Insomnia was a great place to sit, unwind, relax, read a book whilst having coffee or watch the world go by in Broad Street.”

“Thia pub is a quality bar with a good range of drinks, with darts and pool table. In addition on Fridays when there is enough people a quiz is done, Saturday night is karaoke and discount for students on set days. The landlord David has two little dogs that are characters, do not worry about the barking, they always run off. Staff are great and always willing to talk to you. Also there are events through the year which are fun. Thank you David and his team for the great atmosphere and vibe.”

“Great pit stop, another great pub to add to our list of must return to, lovely food, great beer & a brilliant reception. September 2023 a return pit stop just to prove it's just as good & YES it is, I think it may have changed hands but thankfully it is still brilliant, thanks”

“This is a great spot to have a beer and play some pool or darts and watch the sports. I’ve never had food in there but a good spot for a decent selection of beers”

“It is a warm and friendly hub for the local community to gather together for a drink and a chat. live music on occasional Friday or Saturdays is excellent. The decor in both bars is clean and refreshing and toilets are well kept up to standard The staff always welcome you with a smile as do Maureen and Roger the hosts. It is well worth a visit for a pint or two.”

“Good local.. Glad I visited as I wasn't sure about coming. Friendly locals n staff.”

“Proper boozer in the heart of Emmer Green”

“Good experience and good food got a £4.80 baguette”

“Normally quite quiet Sainsbury's next to it so you can go there while your delicious boba is being made or you can sit on the little sofa and watch it being made. I personally think it is better than the moboo in town they do quality over quantity which is really nice i highly recommend it.”

“We all really enjoyed our meals, a very cheery server. Our food was bought quickly and was universally enjoyed. There were a few minor niggles, such as no coffee available due to faulty machine (these things happen) but not enough to spoil our enjoyment.”

“My first time visiting as have not long lived in Marlow. Was such a pleasure to visit. Great menu selection with all food options available. Staff were great, friendly, knowledgeable and service with a smile. We were looked after by Nic, nothing was too much trouble fantastic customer service and friendly. Would definitely recommend and looking forward to visiting again.”

“My daughter and I called in for our first visit. She had a kids hamburger meal and I had a chicken burger meal. Food was excellent. Really fresh. Cooked to order. Everything was piping hot. We will definitely be back!”

“First trip here and it lived up to the stories we had heard and more. We were offered a tour of the smoker and a quick chat on the story behind the setting up of the restaurant. Then back to the large table near the window and a read through the comprehensive menu. We opted for the platter so that we could have a try of everything. When it arrived we had doubts that we would be able to work our way through it all. Everything was delicious. The brisket was soft and succulent, the pulled pork was smoky and all the trimmings were more than enough to fill us up. John the maitre de was helpful, attentive and keen to ensure we had a great time and great food. Will definitely return and cant wait to bring family and friends here.”

“We popped in on a bit of a whim and had a lovely meal—lasagna for one of us, and chicken strips with chips for me. The atmosphere was great, and the food felt like proper home-cooked comfort food.”

“Excellent service Delicious food Dog friendly It was a lovely pub to visit They did a fantastic job in serving a group booking Clean toilets and two sets of, at both ends of the pub and restaurant. A lovely outside setting A recommended gastro pub Shaded areas if required for dogs outside The chequers is set in a lovely country location to go for a walk either after or before dinner Free parking in a fair sized car park”

“Loved the pork belly roast. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The grilled salmon looked good, too.”

“Lovely example of this great chain. Pretty building with outdoor seating. Food on prix fixe menu was fantastic.”

“Absolutely outstanding food quality, last night we had to order a dinner everything was fresh and delicious, the Greek salad was amazing,home made tzatziki is brilliant . Also the fries so crispy, the meat was delicious and juicy. Overall the best Greek restaurant I’ve tried here in the UK . Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️”

“We enjoyed lunch at this little cafe. The service was very good and so was the food. It was very busy at the time we went and it was a little noisy, just from the volume of people there , but not enough to spoil the experience for us.”
