Interior designer in Reading

“Marta served us after a completely unsuccessful trip to slug and lettuce. It was the best few hours spent, no need to order drinks, she brought them over before we even considered our next order. Don't hesitate if considering”

“Fantastic experience stopping in for lunch. The OXBO burger was probably the best burger I have eaten recently, the addition of rarebit made for a delicious twist on a conventional cheese burger. Highly recommended. Very friendly and helpful staff. The staff were attentive, but not intrusively so. I felt looked after. The cafe has a lovely calm atmosphere, but not boringly so. There were a few customers in giving it a good vibe, but without being hectic - I didn't wait long for service or for my food to arrive. It would be an ideal place for someone looking to have a working lunch, and there are spaces set out with power outlets for those with busy working schedules. Very conveniently located a few minutes away from Green Park, making for a nice change to eating in the company cafe if you are working nearby.”

“I ordered a kitchen 3 weeks ago, it arrived within the date given, the customer service from Howden has been amazing since thanks to Jacek, Gary and Dan all have been fantastic. I highly recommend using Howdens if you are looking for a new kitchen.”

“I had an amazing experience at The Botanist Reading as part of a team-building event! The food was outstanding - I started with the Hanging Kebabs with Halloumi Cheese, which was grilled to perfection, and the Hummus was creamy and delicious. For dessert, the Cookie Dough was rich and indulgent. The atmosphere was lively and relaxed, with great service. Highly recommend The Botanist Reading for a fun and memorable team-building event or dinner with friends!”

“Hey Presto! From the moment we arrived, the service at this place was exceptional. Despite being a large party of 15, they accommodated us at very short notice—something many places wouldn’t even attempt on a busy weekend day. The manager/owner personally welcomed us, which set the tone for the rest of our visit. He went out of his way to explain that the chicken and lamb are halal, which was not only thoughtful but allowed several of us to explore more of the menu confidently. On his recommendation, we ordered the chicken focaccia, which turned out to be a standout—tender, flavourful, and perfectly balanced. Highly recommended. The pizzas were genuinely authentic Neapolitan style—light, airy crust with just the right char, and high-quality ingredients you can taste in every bite. The food came out quickly, and despite the group size, the waitresses were welcoming, attentive, and incredibly efficient, ensuring everyone was looked after without missing a beat. To finish, we had coffee—and I can honestly say, it was the best I’ve had in Maidenhead. Rich, smooth, and perfectly pulled. We followed that with fresh cannoli, which were the ideal sweet finish. There’s a certain charm to the atmosphere here. With the smell of fresh dough, barista-quality coffee, and the staff’s warmth, if the people around were dressed just a bit more elegantly, you might just mistake yourself for an eaterie in Naples or Rome. This was my first visit to Presto, but absolutely won’t be the last. It’s rare to find a place that delivers great food, personal service, and a genuinely welcoming atmosphere all in one.”

“I ordered my Steelcase Gesture from Hunts Office on February 17th 2025, and received it on Friday the 21st of March. I was kept informed of the wait time, with updates from Jenny, who I'm grateful for answering all my emails promptly. The package with my pre-assembled chair arrived on time according to the tracking I was given, the driver even messaged and called to let me know when he would be arriving. Nice service. My chair arrived in perfect condition, I'm very happy with the service Hunts Office provided, thank you.”

“The charming decor and unpretentious atmosphere are just like some of the restaurants I visited in Japan. I have known this restaurant for several years and the quality of food and service has been consistent. I hope it stays open for many more!”

“Popped in as it was recommended to us and we were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff, chose our table by the fire and ordered drinks and small plates. Everything came quickly, my cocktail was yummy, hubby was won over because his come came in a bottle. Our food was absolutely gorgeous and being by the fire watching the world go by was just perfect”

“Had such a great time at LaFontana!! This is my first time visiting England from the US, and I was amazed by the food and service that I went to get the same meal two days in a row. The menu is exceptional, you can literally get anything you want, they got burger, pizza, steak, and even seafood! I’d go there every day if I could!”

“Amazing Italian restaurant!! Me and my daughter went there for a meal off chance. Even it was quite late the chef was happy to cook for us a meal that was not on a menu! Our meal was fresh and full of flavour! The staff were friendly and made us welcome from the moment we arrived! Whether you’re looking for a romantic dinner, a family gathering, or just a delicious plate of pasta, this place delivers. I can’t wait to come back – it truly felt like a little slice of Italy!”

“As an Asian who frequently travels to Japan, this was the most authentic Japanese meal I've had in the UK. Their ramen had seasoned bamboo shoots, and the pork was traditional and pan-fried, so I was very satisfied. The salmon sushi roll was excellent, and the portions were generous.”

“Lovely place. Went for a birthday meal. Staff were excellent as usual. Portion sizes are huge but very tasty. Chilli Oil was super hot but amazing!”

“Food was lovely, service was a little slow and meal came out wrong but staff was friendly and correct food given tasted lovely. Desert was also nice. an expensive place but good food.”

“A Japanese food van that serves lunch every day outside maths institute. They have options, such as curries and udon noodles. The price is reasonable and food tastes great. Will come back again!”

“A little slice over interior design heaven with attentive unpretentious hospitable service”

“This place is gorgeous. I was there for a meeting so can’t comment on food or drink but the grounds alone are reason enough to go. Would certainly like to stay the night on my next visit. There is ample car parking here. Would recommend driving as it is in a rural spot.”

“Lovely lunch. A hidden away place. Menu has almost all gluten-free options. Had risotto for starter, followed by steak and finished off with cheesecake. All perfectly done, especially the risotto which was fantastic. Highly recommended for anyone in the area”

“Sushi Janie made fresh every day.”

“Alway great service, the staff including all the kitchen staff (who brought our starters over) are always so friendly and welcoming. Food was fantastic too, love the new menu”

“Great local. small cosy bars .huge garden and car park hidden at rear through an arch way at the side of the pub.entertainment laid on.skytv .Worth checking out the Web site or on Facebook.”

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

“I’ve only ever collected from here. It is quite reasonably priced especially if you download the app and get all the discounts. Always generous with the toppings! The staff aren’t the friendliest but it’s a minor issue.”

“Delivered on time and great service”

“Very impressed with Oka from the time of making my original purchase all the way through to their delivery service. The white glove delivery service were awesome! Nothing was an effort! Outstanding service by everyone we dealt with.”
