Restaurants in Reading

“Celebrated our wedding anniversary at the Aviator. The food was amazing. A wonderful experience, the staff were so welcoming and attentive. A special thank you to Dan for looking after us so well.”

“Delicious handmade freshly made food brilliant customer service artistic approach to their meals chef brought the food outside to me at my car to stop me getting a ticket really cared about the food he was preparing the shop itself is cool. A relaxed vibe food focused 10 out of 10 can’t recommend enough.”

“Best food in town would definitely recommend eating, very great price worth the visit, amazing customer service new in town!!!”

“Really tasty food. Opened recently and very worth trying for yourselves. Nice hit of spice and warmth of pleasant heat. Polished down with a mango lotti smoothie. Delicious.”

“Absolutely delicious food and the waitress was so helpful. Super accommodating to dietary requirements (gluten free) and offered loads of alternatives. Would recommend as a standalone restaurant, not just if you’re staying there!”

“This was our second time here and it was just as good as the first time if not better. Our waitress for the night (Lara) was brilliant and made our experience perfect. It’s nice to see someone so young take so much pride and have so much awareness in what she’s doing. Thank you to the whole team for another fantastic experience, and we are already looking forward to visiting again soon.”

“This meal was a gift from my husband. We booked an early table on a Sunday evening so the restuarant was fairly quiet. It's a lovely setting, right on the river and is nicely decorated. The service was very good and our food was delicious. My arranchini starter was one of the best I've had. We have already decided to return and try the tasting menu next time.”

“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”

“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.”

“Amazing eating experience! I was on my own and was made to feel like I’d been here 20x before. Friendly and welcoming and the mixed grill s was mouth watering good! Might be back tomorrow for round two! Kaustubh served me and he was excellent!!”

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

“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.”

“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 .”

“Amazing food. Some of the best pizza I’ve ever tried. Staff are extremely polite and pleasant. Really made you feel at home. The cheesecake was also amazing”

“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. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐”

“Fab visit here on Saturday. Can never get over how fresh the food is! Had my usual order of gyozas and yaki soba and it didn't disappoint. Will be back.”

“Always 10/10 food and service. Our go to for Thai food”

“Had a lovely meal at Spicy Tadka. Decor was beautiful. Food came out very quick and with beautiful flavours. Would come again.”

“Lovely food, tasteful combination of flavours with each course. Excellent service, all the staff were very welcoming and friendly, though the lady who served me, Catia, made the whole experience just that touch better.”

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

“Went with a group of 11. Inc one celiac and Veggie. 3 had starters and most had several drinks plus main course. Worked out just over £30 per head. Pleasant friendly staff who looked after us well. Would definitely use again/ recommend. Parking can be hit or miss but that's not their fault.”

“Food was amazing and such super friendly service brought my mum here for her birthday and was so good this is my 3rd time back”

“Went recently for a family birthday meal. Wonderful food, cooked fresh. If I had any recommendation, I'd say forget the mixed starter and order more main course dishes instead. That's where they really shine.”

“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.”

“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.”

“First time visiting Yo! Sushi with some friends this evening and picked/ordered some dishes which are really delicious. The staff are absolutely fantastic and the overall service experience is great, really enjoyed the visit.”

“Went here today! Absolutely amazing! Gave us 2 free milkshakes on the house. Also gave us a lot of extra chips in our bag. Would come back! Nice burgers as well”

“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.”
