“Absolutely amazing experience. Food was quick and tasty, portion sizes were great and staff were really attentive. Will deffo be back!”

“Amazing restaurant!! We came here last minute as where we had planned to go was fully booked but I’m so glad we ended up here instead! The servers were so great! Joel was amazing and accommodating to our order changes! The food came out quickly and was so delicious, I’m craving it right now writing this review! We will definitely be back !”

“We had a fantastic time at Revolución de Cuba Reading for our team Christmas party. Food and atmosphere were great, but a special shout to Leera who was an absolute star behind the bar mixing zombie cocktails the whole night with flair and big smiles. Thank you!”

“Absolutely amazing. Without a doubt one of the best places to eat in Reading. You really cannot go wrong with any of the selection but I highly recommend the chilli chicken as a must”

“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!”

“Ordered online, called to change one small detail (done immediately), and the pizza came very quickly and was hot. Lovely delivery guy (sorry - I can't remember his name). Thanks a lot :-)”

“Great quality pan pizzas - good value and I keep coming back for more.”

“We ate the burrito was tasty, but I guess a little bit less spicy”

“Both the food and service were exceptional. Such a beautiful meal. Will 100% come back more often. Stunning!!”

“First time visiting here, will definitely be back! Delicious food and fantastic service. Can't fault it at all. I had the duck curry and jasmine rice as pictured, and it was lovely!”

“We try steak double cheese pie and lamb mince pie, not bad,gravy also recommended”

“We went to Daniele Sicilian for our Golden Wedding anniversary. We took 20 friends and family and had an amazing time. The food was excellent everyone enjoyed it, there were no complaints other than there more than enough. The staff could not have been more helpful, they were attentive but discreet. We will certainly be visiting again. Thank you all so much for making our special day sogood”

“my favourite cafe ever i’m so lucky to have this locally. amazing amazing food for vegans and second hand vegan friends/family :) it is a little pricey but they don’t skimp out on quality or portion sizes!! all my non-vegan friends love it too❤️we love you vegivores!”

“Can't real fault this place - lovely location in a courtyard off the high street, great staff and very good food. I also had takeaway ice cream in a cone which was delicious. Only grumble would be a better choice of red wine as only two - not a fan of Malbec I went for the the other which did warn it was quite tannin. Maybe look at having a Primovito.”

“A great place to stop and have a bite to eat.”

“Visited Heckfield Place for the second time this year, and the experience was every bit as impressive, if not more so, than our first stay last year. This place will always hold a special place in my wife and I’s hearts, and even objectively it stands out as one of the top-tier establishments we’ve ever stayed at. From the room quality and finishing to the food and breakfast offerings, every detail is beautifully executed. This time we had the privilege of dining at Hearth Restaurant, which was absolutely outstanding. The service was impeccable from check-in to check-out; there wasn’t a single thing you could fault them for. We also loved walking around the lovely grounds, enjoying the afternoon tea and cake service, and relaxing with drinks in the intimate Moon Bar. Everything felt seamless, from the interiors to the setting to the hospitality. In short, Heckfield Place is exceptional in every sense, and we’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“Amazing food, always friendly service, I go to a lot of cafes in the area but I can honestly say that Mortimers do the best breakfasts for miles around and the latte's are pretty lush too.”

“A small and minimalist Japanese cafe with super fresh and cheap food. Some of the most authentic Japanese food I have had in the UK (I live in London). Service was fantastic, efficient and friendly.”

“Amazing food and service. Very well prepared, high quality, gonna visit again, highly recommended”

“Nice place fairly large. Had a pizza it was quite large and very good.”

“I took my wife for her birthday here, and I must say, it was a memorable experience. The food they served was exceptional, with a diverse menu that catered to a wide range of preferences. From the moment we walked in, the service was top-notch. The staff was attentive and courteous, making us feel truly special. I couldn't have asked for a better dining experience. It's safe to say that this place left a lasting impression on me, and I'm sure to return in the future.”

“We are very lucky to get a table for three on Friday night without prior reservation. We are very impressed by the foods we ordered, everything is so delicious! I particularly love the seafood and chicken paella we ordered, the meat is generous, good amount for three people to share, so tasty!Also, the service is fairly attentive and quick, every staff is wearing a smile on their face. I haven’t enjoyed dining in a restaurant so much as today. Highly recommended!”

“If you like remote and dog friendly, this is ideal. Google maps took us down some country lanes and over a single way bridge, on the map the pub shows pretty much on an island surrounded by country parks & lakes. The location is nice. Car park has about 30 spaces & I think 2 electric car chargers. The pub was pretty quiet when we arrived and the locals/staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The pub itself has a lovely interior. To the food, we had the vegan burger, bacon and cheese burger and the childs fish goujons. All very nice and well portioned. For dessert we had the rhubarb crumble with vanilla and vegan ice cream, finished off the meal perfectly.”

“I’ve been visiting Piwnica for years, and the food is always outstanding. Every dish is full of authentic Polish flavour, and the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. It’s consistently a wonderful dining experience!”

“Hey! This place is nicely & warmly welcoming. The food is cooked right (beef) and portions are quite large balancing the price. The staff is polite and wouldn’t rush you, altogether in a family atmosphere. Large car park, large beer garden in the back along with some tables out in the front, large tables, large and clean toilets - so overall all quite ‘largely’ impressed. Give it a try!”

“Zizzi Bracknell offers a delightful Italian-inspired dining experience. The prawn skewers with pasta are a standout—succulent prawns grilled to perfection, paired with al dente pasta in a light, flavorful sauce. The salmon with pasta is equally impressive, tender and well-seasoned, complementing the creamy base beautifully. Their garlic bread is divine: crisp on the outside, soft inside, and generously infused with garlic and herbs. Mocktails are refreshingly vibrant, with creative blends that elevate the meal. The ambiance is relaxed yet stylish, and service is warm and attentive. Ideal for a casual dinner with flair and satisfying, well-balanced dishes.”

“Sam was exerlant. He really knew his trade and couldnt be more helpfull We are not regulars, but this will now change. The food was great, well above what you would expect from a chain. I really enjoyed my stay, as did my family”

“I went with my kids for the Sunday buffet, the great thing is its all freshly made, rather than sitting there, a small selection of food but more than enough for any person. The staff are attentive and amazing, friendly, the food tastes soooooooooooooo good, I am currently writing this just before I step into a food coma on my sofa! Loved it, would recommend 5*”
