Pub food in Reading

“Very tasty grilled food. Nice view of river Thames. The tea is great as well.”

“Noah was absolutely amazing! We had such a great experience at Slug and Lettuce thanks to him. He was friendly, attentive, and constantly made sure our drinks were topped up without us even having to ask. Brilliant service from start to finish — he really made our visit enjoyable. Highly recommend asking for Noah!”

“Absolutely wonderful find tucked away near Maidenhead but definitely worth a visit; if you are looking for a standard curry house, there are other good places; if you want a gastronomic experience not to be forgotten, visit this place. The ambiance lovely, the Michelin style presentation was stunning and each and every dish was delicious; coming from someone with Indian parents with very high food standards, we really loved visiting and look forward to going back with friends!”

“Good cinema with reclining chairs. The price higher than the competitors but the seat comfort might satisfy you. They got cheaper tickets prices Monday. Also with some promotions like if you have "meerkat cinema 2 for 1". They got insider cinema card where you can by tickets with offer and got some money back in the wallet put towards a another tickets. Also if yoy got company perks available you can save on those ticket prices too. If you love to go cinema just try it. Locate your nearest one. Enjoy your big screen entertainment!”

“I came here with my friend for her birthday with her little girl as well. The staff are very friendly and helpful and the food is amazing especially the desserts. The restaurant area is small so I imagine booking would be a good idea at busier times.”

“We enjoyed eating at the Reading Room last night. The whole experience was amazing. It wasn’t our first time there, so I’m happy the standard is consistently high. The food was delicious and looked beautiful. The staff were very professional and although they were always nearby, it didn’t feel awkward. The dinner finished with a really sweet, personal touch - couple of chocolates on a plate with a sign „happy anniversary”. I highly recommend the restaurant.”

“One of the nicest hotels I’ve stayed in for some time. The kindness and helpfulness of the staff is one of the outstanding qualities of his hotel. The breakfast is on par with most Michelin star restaurants. We stayed in a suite in the House Building. Quality of the furnishings, the style and the cleanliness were exceptional. . Everything was chic but luxurious . I am now looking for reasons to return to Reading so I can stay here again .”

“Really good food. Calamari was nice and crispy rather than rubbery or slimy and came with plenty of sauce. Burger and chips were faultless - caramelised onions always take it to another level for me. The meringue dessert was also just right. Would have liked a few more non-alcoholic and alcoholic drinks options but not a deal-breaker by far. Came to £37 which included 2 drinks, starter, main and dessert.”

“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”

“Had an amazing time and the food was absolutely scrumptious.. Relph, the waiter was pretty friendly and humble!”

“Had to write a review after my second order because honestly, their pizza is bloody amazing. First tried it takeaway, then ordered on Deliveroo, and both times it was phenomenal. Like, seriously, the best pizza I've ever had, hands down. My absolute fave is the Hell's Kitchen pizza. It's got a kick, but nothing that'll make you cry (unless you're that way inclined, of course!). Honestly, can't recommend Thirsty Bear enough. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“We had a function in the pub and it was a great experience. We had a dedicated function room separated from the main pub. The atmosphere both in the pub and in the function room are really lovely and the fireplaces give just the perfect place for a cosy dinner. Food was truly amazing. Great portions and quality food from the appetisers throughout the meal. Tagliatelle were cooked to perfection and the sea bass with the lemon sauce was mouthwatering. All through the meal, the sauces were just amazing. All the staff was really friendly and we had a great night out.”

“New Management with great food. Melted camembert with garlic and Rosemary.........yummy. Vegan tart was delightful. Lovely setting”

“Be At One is our preferred cocktail destination in Reading. The cocktails are not just good; they're absolutely awesome. The environment is charming, vibrant, and cozy, creating a perfect setting for enjoying exceptional drinks. The bartenders add to the experience with their friendly and skillful service. It's a go-to spot for a delightful night out.”

“Good local.. Glad I visited as I wasn't sure about coming. Friendly locals n staff.”

“This is a beautiful pub tucked away . The staff were amazing, so friendly, attentive and nothing was too much trouble. We ate the Paneer curry special which was delicious! Such great value for money too!”

“The initial review, submitted on Friday, conveyed dissatisfaction regarding a £75 charge for an early check-in, which was two hours prior to the standard check-in time. It is important to clarify that only one room was booked, not two. Furthermore, our arrival was not at 12:30; however, the primary reason for the negative review was the perceived rudeness of the individual I spoke with over the phone. Moving forward, following my stay at the hotel on Saturday, I was granted both an early check-in and a late check-out, which was greatly appreciated. The staff demonstrated exceptional professionalism and hospitality. The hotel maintains a high standard of cleanliness and offers a diverse selection of culinary options, including a main menu and a breakfast buffet. I highly recommend this establishment and would certainly choose to stay here again. My sincere thanks to the entire team for their accommodating service.”

“One of the best restaurants in Reading I have been to so far. The prices are bit a higher, but well worth the price. Even though we had Christmas there the service was super quick and about 40 people were served under 5 minutes. The food presentation was outstanding, and the food was tasty. Free onsite parking. Having said that it is worth spending time here.”

“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.”

“Always a good experience here with the food. Staff were polite and attentive and the atmosphere is just perfect. We always end up at the All Bar One whenever we’re having a Breakfast/Brunch out. The food is great and what attracted us the most was the vegetarian and healthy juices. Today we had the shared meze board and root juice....absolutely yummy!”

“Zero degrees Microbrewery Review: A Blend of Great Brews, Bites, and Atmosphere Recently, I had the pleasure of taking my uncle, visiting from India, to a local microbrewery with a restaurant, and it turned out to be an exceptional experience. The brewery's ambience was a standout feature—industrial yet inviting, with gleaming tanks, pipes, and brewing equipment creating an immersive setting for craft beer enthusiasts. The atmosphere felt lively yet relaxed, perfect for a casual outing. We started with a couple of drinks, and the brewery's offerings did not disappoint. Each sip reflected the artistry of small-batch brewing. For food, we opted for a wood-fired mushroom pizza, buttermilk chicken, and classic French fries. The pizza was a revelation, with a crisp, charred crust and fresh toppings that made every bite flavorful. The buttermilk chicken was succulent, tender, and seasoned to perfection, while the fries were crisp and addictive—an ideal accompaniment to our drinks. The service added another layer of charm to our visit. The staff were attentive, friendly, and efficient, ensuring a smooth and enjoyable dining experience.”

“A nicely located pub just in the heart of Prospect Park. The place has plenty of free parking (don’t forget to register at check in). The menu is quite ‘suculent’ with lots of options and nicely cooked food (not a fish ‘n’ chip bar). The view is great over the park with a quiet ambiance. You can have salad as much as you like which is a vegan’s paradise. Waiting time for taking the order is a bit long but quite polite so doesn’t feel rushed in any way. Book and enjoy a nice lunch or dinner with family, friends or just on your own.”

“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.”

“I’ve hosted many events at Brewdog Reading and always get fantastic personal service. Any time I bring an industry contact here it always goes down well. I was convinced to join a beer tasting event hosted by Madoc and had a really fantastic time. Knowledgable, generous and we all stayed afterwards for more recommendations. Will definitely come to more of these events.”

“Good selection of pub grub, cheapest prices around always friendly staff”

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

“An absolutely gorgeous pub! The food was excellent - everything tasted home made, whether it was or not. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because I had the pie with red cabbage and the red cabbage was far too sweet - the same for the gravy with the sausages and mash. Other than that, the best pub meal I've had in a long time and everyone else agreed.”

“Lovely hotel and the themed suites are pricy but a novel treat if you want some space with a different ambience. Fantastic breakfast. No parking on site but there is a multistory on the opposite side of reading train station, so it's only a five minute walk. Great location of you want the reading night life.”

“We stayed for one night as a family. The hotel is in a great location with good parking. The room and hotel were exceptionally clean throughout, facilities are brilliant. The breakfast selection was great. The best thing about our stay, however, was the staff - particularly Khadija on reception when we checked in and Suleyman at breakfast. All the staff we met were so polite, friendly and helpful. They really made the stay even better. Thank you.”

“Great food and people. On wednesdays they do a £5 burger and it’s insanely good. Staff are also incredible and it’s a great place to go.”
