Restaurants in Reading

“Browns brasserie and bar was recommended to me and what a recommendation! Everything was absolutely perfect, from the service to the food. We were seated quickly, given time to settle in before asking for our drinks order (I hate being asked before I've even had the opportunity to muse the drinks menu!) though we were asked if we wanted water. Our waiter, Daniel, was very good and accommodating, even offering items not on the menu. I ordered the side salad of rocket and tomato and he offered a proper mixed salad instead, which was a really nice touch. Starters: The salt and pepper squid was really good, served with an absolute divine sauce. The mushrooms were tenderly cooked so they were still full of flavour. Main: The prawn and crab linguine was very tasty with just about the right amount of crab to add a delightful but not overpowering taste. The pesto lightly complimented the pasta, prawns and crab. The chips were golden, fluffy and generously dusted with parmesan cheese. The mixed side salad was just that, including radish and cucumber plus different types of greeny, not just said rocket. No dessert as we both felt nicely full. The coffee served was very good, strong without being bitter. Throughout our meal, we were checked on regularly by Daniel but not in an interfering or intrusive way. Browns is not a cheap night out with the bill, including a service charge of 10% was just over £115 (2 starters, two mains, two sides, 4 glasses of wine and one coffee), however, in my view, definitely worth it! Browns is the epitome of how to do service and food exceptionally well! Bravo Browns!”

“I was attending a reunion event, which was a private affair in a side room. The service of the staff was superb. The food was tasty and well presented.”

“All together we had a great dinner family time. We ordered a starter and 2 juicy burgers for us adults and kids eat free during school holidays which is kind and nice from the restaurant, especially for families with kids. Even if one of the burgers was not the way it was meant to be, the branch manager apologised and kindly replaced it for my wife and did not even charged for her entire order, including the drink. That was both polite and going above and beyond, as this can be a point of deciding if you ever come back to a restaurant based on your experience, and it all falls on the way the staff (including management) approach the issue and find a swift solution. Reason why we scored 5 stars and we thank Tillie for finding us a table last minute even if we had no booking on a Friday night.”

“Da village did not fail to impress. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and portions were out of the world huge! Highly recommend. It was very quiet when we visited, but it is Ramadan. It’s usually busy. Top spot”

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

“The variety was impressive. There was a dedicated section for sushi and sashimi that was constantly restocked, and the seafood on ice—including shrimp, crab legs, and oysters—was very fresh. The carving station was a highlight, with a perfectly cooked roast beef and a delicious herb-crusted ham. The hot food section had a great international selection. The Chinese-style honey walnut shrimp was a crowd-pleaser, and the Italian pasta station allowed you to customize your dish. I also appreciated the live cooking counters where chefs prepared noodles and teppanyaki right in front of you.”

“Had a Christmas party here and the service was very friendly, and the food was lovely. Would happily return.”

“Had a wonderful meal here tonight. Very friendly service and food was excellent. Thank you for the little end drinks too. Really recommend you go here.”

“Cool place with a good atmosphere. The burgers we ordered were really good. My only problem was that the location wasn’t obvious and easy to find the first time.”

“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.”

“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.”

“Good food for reasonable price. I would come again to try the Nasi Goreng Pedas. The staff was very friendly and kind.”

“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.”

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

“Great food as always, been here a few times when visiting friends, that live locally. Staff were friendly, and the service is excellent. My time of visit was a Friday evening.”

“We had a wonderful meal at The Sportsman. Our server Sherifa was very helpful and fun to be around”

“Came in today and ordered some food. I got egg fried rice. Sweet and sour chicken balls, chicken chow mein and a pancake roll. And I have got to say it was the best Chinese food I have had in a long time. I love Chinese food and it’s been a long time since I have been to a restaurant and been served food that was so nice. I’m now sat here with a bad belly because I just couldn’t stop eating hahaha ( I’ve made a pig of myself ) Service was fast. Staff was polite and the food was absolutely phenomenal. Portions was generous for the price paid. I will definitely be coming back. Thank you guys for a lovely meal. I will definitely be seeing you guys soon.”

“Lovely cafe for breakfast! Love the decor, staff were friendly and food was very tasty. Great to have vegan options.”

“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.”

“We have just been to this place and I must say without sticking my nose to far up.... they were great.. they changed the menu and didn’t have something I wanted, so the manager said don’t worry, I’ll sort it.. and he did.. thank you so much for such a great service...”

“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!”

“Anima and Tia were amazing and made sure we felt safe and were served with efficiency and were extremely fast given our big group order”

“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.”

“We arrived at 4. Just found a space as the car park also serves several retail outlets and restaurants. But if had arrived a little later, there wouldn't have been an issue, with ample parking later on. The room was large, clean and comfortable. The bathroom had a bath and shower. There are eateries, including Nandos and Burger king outside, but there were queues outside the door so we opted to eat in. The menu was extensive and catered for everyone. The food was tasty and fresh. Recommend the burgers and chocolate torte”

“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 ordered takeaway, and the food was lovely, very tasty, and generous portions!”

“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.”

“It was my daughter’s birthday, and there were 24 of us in total. When we arrived, the restaurant was very busy, and although we waited around 10 minutes, we were seated surprisingly quickly. From start to finish, the experience was fantastic. I’ve never seen a team work so hard and so respectfully — every single staff member was giving 100%. Full credit to the manager for putting together such a wonderful and professional team. Highly recommended!”

“We had a truly lovely meal at Bina Tandoori. The service was quick and friendly, and the food was excellent - full of flavour and cooked perfectly. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making the whole experience really enjoyable. Would definitely recommend and look forward to visiting again!”
