Grill pub in Reading

“I've been a regular at Laz Tadim for over 5 years now. If you're local, you probably already know how good they are, but if you're new, keep reading. Laz Tadim is not your average UK kebab shop. The place is spacious, bright, and always spotless with friendly staff. You can really see how efficient and popular they are, especially during peak hours. On quieter days, you might even get to chat with the owner or others serving you. I’ve genuinely never seen such high quality packaging from any takeaway in my 18 years in the UK. They pay attention to the little things, and it shows. We usually go for the chicken shish, which comes with freshly baked bread and fresh salad. The freshness and quality are always spot on. Portions are very good, and everything tastes clean and well prepared. I haven’t had steaming hot bread with grilled meat like this anywhere else in the UK. We also enjoy their doners and grilled chicken wings now and then. I’ve tried their fish and chips a few times when ordering just for myself, and it's excellent too. And if you're into sauces, definitely try the Turkish Ezme. It’s a homemade sweet and spicy tomato and herb mix that my wife absolutely loves. Pro tip: order directly through their website for collection. It's quick, easy, and they often throw in a little something extra, which is always a nice surprise.”

“My family and I visited The Shurlock Inn for the first time as it was suggested to me by a colleague at work. We were greeted by the team and very quickly placed our orders. I would say we must have waited max 10-15 mins for the food to arrive at our table! We chose to go for Sunday roasts which were beautifully presented, everything tasted so fresh. We also went for desserts. Again, everything was presented nicely and tasted excellent. Our only thing which could be improved potentially is the thickness of the gravy/custard as these both seemed on the watery side. I did not let this reflect the rating as everybody has their own preference for gravy! We definitely will return. Thank you again. Courtney & Family.”

“Clay’s is a fantastic restaurant. The staff are warm and welcoming and the decor is modern and interesting. The food is great quality and authentic. Every dish is unique and completely moreish! Whenever we have friends and family visiting, we always try to book a table.”

“Came here the other day and i was pleasantly surprised, Im not a local of Reading so this area was new to me but it felt like i discovered a new world. Everyone was so friendly (customers and staff). It was fairly busy in there and i still got served within seconds. The girl behind the bar, chelsea i think her name was, she was a breath of fresh air had good banter and service was top notch. Definitely coming back here when im next in reading 10/10”

“Loved our dinner at The Griffin, we had Lucian as our waiter and he was very accommodating and friendly. He welcomed us in and made sure all needs were met. The pies were delicious!”

“The Duke is a fantastic venue for a party. We held an 18th birthday party in the marquee at the back of the pub and the landlord and his staff pulled out all the stops to make it a fantastic night. The party lighting in the marquee was spot on, drinks were ordered and delivered on demand into the marquee, the Chinese buffet was great, and there was a cocktail bar just outside the marquee. This is indeed Marlow’s hidden gem!”

“Today I visited this place, and “Kanchan Shrestha”served us with her beautiful smile and kind behaviour. She was so friendly and welcoming, which made our visit even more enjoyable. A big thank you to the chefs for the delicious food and sweet flavours! I highly recommend this restaurant for authentic Nepali food — the dishes were absolutely tasty, the service was warm and genuine, and the portions were generous. This restaurant is truly wonderful — from the friendly staff to the amazing flavours, everything was perfect. I’m really impressed and will definitely be coming back! Do check this place out — it’s 100% worth your time!”

“Great pub, one of my favourites. Even though we have to drive past 10 pubs to get there we call it our local. No food cooked here but have different food trucks roll up pretty much every weekend which dish out some great food which you can eat inside. Some of the best variety of beers ive come across. Open fire, staff are so friendly and welcoming, locals friendly. Board games next to the bar. Just a perfect little gem of a pub. Wish we lived walking distance :)”

“One of the best little known gems in Reading. Whilst the menu is mostly stake, the enoki mushrooms are amazing and should not be missed by veggies. The wine and cocktail list is extensive but expertly curated.”

“Great food and amazing service by staff. We regularly visit here and we have never been disappointed. We organised couple of events here and everything has been great every-time. Ankita and Khushboo in staff always go out of the way to make the experience special. Highly recommended.”

“Went for Sunday lunch, wow!!! What amazing food and delicious cocktails for a Sunday lunch and great prices to be fair, Staff were brilliant, very attentive and welcoming. I would definitely recommend this place...”

“Nice restaurant with lots of menu options. The hot honey rotisserie chicken and ribs were amazing! The meat fell right of the bone and was tender. Acces to the salad bar is also included, which is located near the kitchen (quite ‘far’ depending on where you are seated in the restaurant). It wasn’t so clear to us where to sit for a drink and to have dinner. We thought we were on a table where we could also eat, but apparently we weren’t, so one of the workers made us move tables when we ordered our food.”

“Such a cozy place with lovely music and super friendly staff. The atmosphere is amazing — everyone is so welcoming and attentive. It really feels like home. Definitely deserves 5 stars! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Maya and Lydia served us! They were both friendly and happy and made our experience very enjoyable”

“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!”

“Great evening meal. Good quality food well cooked with great service”

“Popped in for help getting a taxi and found the staff and customers very friendly and helpful, I enjoyed a couple of pints and will call in again for another drink soon Thanks to you all”

“Tasty veggie burger made with mashed potatoes and veggies with a crunchy breading. Standard frozen burger, but it was prepared with care, which makes the difference between something you enjoy and would order again and something that you can just get down. Garnished with onion and served with lettuce, tomato, and cucumber salad and some very nicely-cooked chips. Appreciated after a long day of cruising down the Thames in the hot sun. Along with a glass of cider! Additional vegetarian and vegan options would be appreciated, but we enjoyed what they had.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Fabulous evening with Elvis at the Cricketers. Jason, Lilia and their team were brilliant. Food was quick to arrive, lovely and tasty and great service all night even when it was full. What a fun evening.”

“Excellent service and the food was superb! We were there on a Tuesday and they had unlimited mussels cooked in a variety of style plus fries, white bread and a drink and it cost only about £15! That was super value for money. The mussels was really delicious! Kids had calamari for starters and it was so good they wanted more! Definitely recommend this place.”

“We were maid welcome by bar staff,and by some of there customers,,seating was arranged well ,plenty of activities for all.”

“I was served by Dan . As always very friendly and accommodating. The food was good , well presented .”

“Graeme and Izzy from the white horse emmer green are fantastic always service with a smile very friendly staff I would highly recommend coming to the venue great atmosphere great prices”

“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!”

“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!”
