Pub in Reading

“The food and drinks were great, and the staff were so warm and friendly. I unfortunately became unwell during my visit, but the team were absolutely amazing in looking after me. I really appreciated their kindness and care — so sorry again about the mess! Thank you all for being so understanding and wonderful.”

“Great local pub with brilliant staff and scrummy food!”

“They made my wife's 40th Birthday very special. We had a large group (15) with two infants, and 3 children under 12 and they were able to take care of all of us and bring my wife's cake out at the right time. We have eaten there multiple times and always enjoyed the food and I think they remember us because they likely don't have the same American faces come in so often. Fantastic service and food, I highly recommend The Boot.”

“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.”

“we had a really lovely time, as new parents we don’t venture out much, but chose the warren as we always drive past and it looks inviting. We were seen straight away with lovely servers, and our food was lovely. the atmosphere is very calm and was nice and chilled despite being busy. i want to leave a special shout out to Michael for being so helpful, kind and welcoming during our evening. Really excellent service, and we are excited to return.”

“Had a flyer through my door with great photo's of their Thai food, so I thought I would try them. I thought my Thai Green curry was pretty good but after having one from their menu I was amazed ! it was stunning, so good I went back the following week and then also with the girlfriend and then the following weekend with 2 friends, we were all very very impressed with the superb menu stunning food and great service, give them a try you will not be disappointed.

“We went today for a festive Sunday lunch. The food was excellent? Bottomless sides and fantastic roasts. The staff were attentive and friendly, excellent service. Fantastic lunch, great atmosphere and everything was quick despite it being incredible busy.”

“The food was so tasty. My husband and I had lamb shank, there was so much meat on the bone and we ordered cauliflower cheese as a side, this was V cheesy and there was plenty. Mother in law had the venison stew, she said it was tasty and there was loads. My son had the boar sausage, he ate everything and said it tasted really good. The staff were also very friendly and welcoming. We were a bit cold in the snug, but they turned the heating up for us and we soon warmed up. Will definitely go again.”

“It was only our second visit here, but we had a really great experience. The waitress was really pleasant, polite and attentive. Food tasted really good, especially the soufflettes. The atmosphere really pleasant, despite quite busy Friday evening. It a definitely great date night experience.”

“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! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Had a few pints and a meal with some friends, and had a great time. The staff were friendly, and the food was good. Would come back again next time I’m in Wokingham!”

“This is a lovely traditional pub with modern twists just a stone's throw from the station and good pitstop before you go to town. Has a garden and plenty of space. Plus a brilliant selection of drinks.”

“A really nice pub. This is a really cozy pub with a great atmosphere and a really good place to have a drink with friends.”

“A casual pub dinner far exceeded our expectations in terms of food quality and quantity - so many prawns in the linguine! The service was fabulous, thanks to Holly and Sophia. We had been told there was no Whitebait left so ordered a different starter but then two generous plates of whitebait arrived for us. We were of course very happy with this but were still offered a complimentary glass of wine each due to this slight miscommunication. A really lovely experience sat in the outdoor dining area on a balmy summers evening, with a gentle buzz of conversation around us, plus great food and service. Thanks Foundry Bell.”

“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!”

“Brilliant service, would recommend the bbq smash burger!”

“Great prices for members, very chill atmosphere, good jukebox.”

“Great coffee shop , reasonable prices,and fantastic service plus a free biscuit with every coffee staying in”

“Really nice breakfast. Very tasty, looked appealing. The coffee was delicious. The staff are very friendly. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable.”

“Thia pub is a quality bar with a good range of drinks, with darts and pool table. In addition on Fridays when there is enough people a quiz is done, Saturday night is karaoke and discount for students on set days. The landlord David has two little dogs that are characters, do not worry about the barking, they always run off. Staff are great and always willing to talk to you. Also there are events through the year which are fun. Thank you David and his team for the great atmosphere and vibe.”

“Family friendly, lovely staff, great beer garden. Proper gastropub”

“Great find. Nicely tucked away. Chilled atmosphere and staff were great!”

“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”

“Great pit stop, another great pub to add to our list of must return to, lovely food, great beer & a brilliant reception. September 2023 a return pit stop just to prove it's just as good & YES it is, I think it may have changed hands but thankfully it is still brilliant, thanks”

“This is a great spot to have a beer and play some pool or darts and watch the sports. I’ve never had food in there but a good spot for a decent selection of beers”

“It is a warm and friendly hub for the local community to gather together for a drink and a chat. live music on occasional Friday or Saturdays is excellent. The decor in both bars is clean and refreshing and toilets are well kept up to standard The staff always welcome you with a smile as do Maureen and Roger the hosts. It is well worth a visit for a pint or two.”

“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.”
