Grill bar in Reading

“Wow, what an amazing pub. I came here on a Sunday for a roast and a pizza for my friend. The staff are so friendly and the pub is large with loads of seating. There's a great menu, which includes a roast served every day of the week. The roast was delicious with loads of perfectly cooked veg and roast potatoes to die for! Pizza was also delicious and tasted homemade. The prices are brilliant, especially considering the quality of the food.”

“We recently visited with a group of residents from our local care home, based on the glowing recommendation of one of our residents who often comes here with her family, and what an excellent recommendation it was! From the moment we arrived, the staff couldn’t have been more welcoming or accommodating. They were attentive throughout our visit and kept us informed about when our meals would be served. The food was absolutely fantastic, fresh, delicious, and beautifully presented. Nothing was too much trouble, and the whole experience was seamless from start to finish. This will definitely become a regular lunch spot for us. Highly recommended!”

“Brilliant food lovely pub would go back there great people entertainment was excellent bar staff very polite looking forward to go back”

“A nice local pub. 5 of us ate here for Mother’s Day lunch. Fantastic value for money. Great service by Mark and his team. Thoroughly recommend this pub for a drink or food at very reasonable prices.”

“I’ve been coming to The Bridge in Bracknell regularly and it never disappoints. The food is excellent, with generous portions and good quality ingredients. They also run daily food deals, which makes it really good value for money. It’s not just a place for a meal or a pint – it’s also a great spot to work from during the day. The broadband is fast and reliable, and the atmosphere is relaxed but friendly, so it works really well if you need a change of scene from home. Whether you’re after a good lunch, an evening bite with friends, or a quiet place to work with strong Wi-Fi, The Bridge is spot on. Highly recommended.”

“The dough balls are deep fried! Strange at first but incredible after the first bite! Definitely recommend! Really nice staff, really welcoming!”

“We very much enjoyed our Sunday lunch at Ye Olde Leathern Bottel. The Sunday roasts were delicious and the service was excellent (a big thank you to Julia!). We look forward to visiting again soon.”

“First time visiting this pub and considering its only a mile from my home I can't believe I've never been sooner. Service is very good and the staff extremely helpful and pleasant. The food is very good and good size portions. Can't wait for summer and see what the outside will be like.”

“We wanted somewhere casual but good to catch the match and have a proper meal. This pub delivered. Big screens, comfy ( new ) seating and plenty of choice. The steak I had was cooked just how I asked. And at the bar, cameron was on the ball, keeping drinks flowing and always with a friendly chat. Five stars from us.”

“Megan was absolutely fantastic! She was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made us feel so welcome. She handled dietary requirements with care and confidence, ensuring everything was perfect. Her menu knowledge and upbeat attitude made our visit extra special. A true delight — thank you, Megan!”

“Really enjoyed.the burger special - good value, great burger and friendly service. The pub had a great buzz. We will definately be back”

“The pulled lamb shoulder is brilliant. The rump steak is quite nice, too. I am impressed by the chips with a smoky flavor and the brownies - fluffy yet not too sweet. Friendly and helpful staff. Cheerful vibe for friends and family gatherings.”

“Been here few times before and it was good, but nothing special. However today it was absolutely amazing. Delicious food and very big portions. Best burrata mozzarella with tomato I ever had. Great service too.”

“Food is very good, all freshly prepared. Portions are on the large side so good if you are hungry but not if looking for a light bite.”

“Stopped at the pub for a drink after going for a walk. The staff were very friendly. Plenty of beer, wine and spirit choices. Wonderfully big garden with plenty of shaded area if needed If in the area again will try to pop in for food next time.”

“We are regulars at Bluegrass, we usually visit 3-4 times a year. Our last visit was a Friday lunch, we have arrived before 12:00, so it wasn't too busy. The QR code ordering and direct payments using the app is really easy. The menus are varied, with lots of options for everyone and we always try to get something else to try out. Through a number of visits, having tried over a dozen of the menu options, there wasn't a single one that we would not like or would not order again. This time we have gone with the Boston BBQ Brisket, Burnt ends poutine and a couple of sides. The portions were huge and all food was delicious. Upon request, we have also been given a food box to take any leftovers with us. The service was fast, server helpful, the premises clean and we are looking forward to call again. I personally like the fact they support Siren, Reading's own brewery and have their IPA on the drinks menu.”

“Festive Feast with Friends at Beefeater, Southcote. Christmas Eve called for a festive get-together with friends, and Beefeater provided the perfect setting. Snagging a table for six was a Christmas miracle in itself! We kicked things off with their starter deal – £17.99 for four dishes. The chicken wings were a tad over-fried, but the garlic bread and halloumi fries were spot on. Mains were a real treat. The chicken burger was juicy, the fish and chips were classic, and the salmon with asparagus was cooked to perfection. But the real star of the show? The mushy peas! Service was friendly and efficient, our server (didn't catch her name, sadly!) kept everything moving smoothly despite the festive rush. Overall, a great spot for a pre-Christmas catch-up with friends. Good food, good company, and good times. Happy days indeed!”

“Me, my wife and my two kids went last night for a nice meal as we are on holiday. We picked the pub at it had some of the best reviews near our hotel. All I can say is we were blown away. We asked for a table in a corner away from others as my daughter has learning difficulties and hates noise and sometimes cannot stay still, they didn’t even question it. They let us sit in the corner alone near a fire. Our starters were amazing and came out quickly. The sticky barbecue chicken was delicious. Then our mains were amazing. My wife and son had a steak and they were actually cooked right! Which is hard to find these days. Then we had puddings and they were also lovely. The manager (I didn’t get her name) was so attentive which is nice to see as normally at restaurants you don’t get much interaction with them. Everyone was so friendly and polite. We would 100% recommend and if we ever come back on holiday we will be eating here again.”

“Visited Reading for the first time. We just wanted a small lunch so wetherspoons suited us as they have a large selection of everything at a reasonable price. Sat fairly close to the window which enabled us to see the River Kennet. Would of sat outside if weather was warmer to get a better view of the river. But happy inside with comfortable seating.”

“Very Pleasant and helpful staff. Good atmosphere. Also they do poker tournament. Being a foreigner in the area I was very warm welcomed.”

“Just had another fabulous meal here we are loving this more than our usual place!”

“Staff seamed very happy, attentive, polite and friendly. Really makes a difference. Food good and really hot too. I was a little bit disappointed with the seasonal vegetables being just lots of peas with a little bit of carrot but the peas where really nice and sweet!”

“Shoutout to Aaron the manager who goes above and beyond and is an asset the Greene King. This is a very friendly pub, with a convenient car park and plentiful menu. Their portions are great, you won’t be hungry after! Very dog friendly too with a special doggy treats area. Nice selection of alcohol free drinks too. A proper pub.”

“The Travellers Rest is a hidden gem that combines a cosy, welcoming atmosphere with great value for money. Whether you're after a quick drink or a hearty meal, this place delivers on all fronts. The drinks are reasonably priced, with a good range of both alcoholic and non-alcoholic options. The food came out quickly, but still tasted fresh and well-prepared — a pleasant surprise, as "fast pub food" doesn't always have the best reputation. Not here though — no upset stomachs, just genuinely enjoyable meals. I had a generous portion of crispy chicken, which was perfectly cooked. My partner ordered the Caesar salad and said it was one of the best she’s had. The overall portion sizes were more than satisfying. The atmosphere was relaxed, with background music at a comfortable volume, making it easy to enjoy a conversation. The location is easy to get to, and there’s plenty of parking available, which is a big plus. All in all, The Travellers Rest is a great spot for casual dining and drinks. We'll definitely be returning.”

“Great pub, staff are welcoming and friendly! Food is amazing, overall a 10/10”

“Came in today with my family for dinner, we had amazing experience, our food came out very quickly, staff were very efficient; Charley, Shannon and Ellie were on the bar massive thank you to them for looking after us ❤️ Compliments to the chefs Anna & Corey- we asked for their names at the bar- very fast with the orders and met our dietary requirements so thank you again! We will definitely be back!”

“What can I say, it’s a Spoons, great prices for drinks, Doombar was £2.25 or something like that, service was good and swift. It’s a popular place at the top of town, pretty busy with young and old, busied up in the early evening, we dropped in at 4 and then again at 6 on the way to another venue. A lot of glasses ready to go lol as you can see in the pictures!”
