We were seen straight away with lovely servers, and our food was lovely. the atmosphere is very calm and was nice and chilled despite being busy. i want to leave a special shout out to Michael for being so helpful, kind and welcoming during our evening. Really excellent service, and we are excited to return.”

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

“Lovely food. Took a short while to come out but no problem with that at all since it tasted great. Meal was mildly interrupted when the lady below quite literally jogged after the manager she's talking about shouting excuse me excuse me turning multiple heads. Could just quietly walk up to the bar and query the resolution like a normal person as 50% off the bill sounds reasonable. Shouldn't write this as it's probably giving the attention they obviously look for. Anyway, didn't ruin the experience, will be back again!”

“Really nice food and generous portions. It was hard for us to finish the food. Loved it. We tried Kabuli Polao before in Pakistani restaurant but this was way better!”

“A great marker is the pub dog and the cross keys has the beautiful and calm blue and very friendly boy. We only popped in for a couple of drinks, however sitting in the cozy bar next to the kitchen, the smells and sights coming out soon had our tummies rumbling, so a pint of Level head, one of the cheapest I've had and a dry white was accompanied by a delicious battered fish and chips. Landlord while rushed off his feet had time to chat along with friendly locals. If nothing go for a level head and a chat and a pat with Blue”

“Lovely place for eating out. The cafe itself is located very central on this nice little English town. @tmosphere is as always cool, very French feel and people sit near to each other but still there is some tables that can be separated from others. SERVICE Very good! We were served by lovely ladies, Daniella and Fatima.Very kind and professional... FOOD Excellent food.Very tasty and well cooked. I was there with friends from Kerith church in Windsor and we had a lovely time.... each one orederd something different...all were satisfied.

“Hi, I had the most wonderful experience at Viv’s at The Grange! From the moment I walked in, the warm, welcoming atmosphere made me feel instantly at home. The décor is elegant and stylish without feeling pretentious — a perfect blend of comfort and sophistication. The service is absolutely excellent. The staff members were attentive, friendly, and genuinely passionate about making sure everything went smoothly. Nothing was too much trouble, and they anticipated our needs throughout the evening. Onto the food — simply divine! The menu is innovative, beautifully presented, and each dish is bursting with flavour. Ingredients are clearly high-quality, and each course was prepared with care. I especially loved the starters, which were a perfect introduction to what came next, and dessert was a treat I’ll remember for a long time. Drinks selection is very good too — the cocktails are creative, the wine list is well-curated, and there were options to suit everyone’s taste. All in all, Viv’s at The Grange, Wokingham exceeded all expectations. Whether for a romantic dinner, a celebration, or just a treat — I can’t recommend it highly enough. I’m already planning to come back!”
