Salad bar in Reading

“Visited Buensado for a family dinner and were thoroughly impressed. The food was excellent, with perfectly cooked steaks and great attention to detail. The spiral-cut rib-eye stood out as a highlight. A special thank you to our host, Radwane, who looked after us wonderfully. We’re already looking forward to our next visit.”

“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.”

“NEW updated MENU down below. Absolutely lovely staff serving there, so kind. Cheaper food but incredibly tasty and definitely the best Chinese we've tried! Recommend the sweet and sour chicken balls. Family of 4 comes up to £31 but lasts us for 2 dinners!”

“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.”

“With an upcoming stay at De Vere Beaumont Estate I got really stressed by the Google reviews of 1705 - I need to remember that more negative than positive reviews get posted online! The atmosphere was lovely and calm, the service was brilliant and the food was great. We shared a Camembert to start, which was creamy and lovely with a variety of breads. Our mains were great and I’d highly recommend the Tuffolo Gavi wine. The staff were very friendly and we honestly do not have a single bad comment about the experience. I thought it was important to post this review, which I wouldn’t normally do, so others feel reassured to not always trust everything they see online!”

“Surprised by how high quality the food and cocktails are! Loved everything - especially the devilled toast, the pork shank was done perfectly and delicious salmon too. We had two cocktails each person, really impressed with how they use fresh fruits rather than fruity syrup - do try their specials!”

“We stopped here for brunch (it was very busy) and it was really great! Staff were lovely and food was good! The portions were huge - I had the Bougie breakfast and the French toast was so YUM! High chair provided for our baby. Would definitely go back.”

“Hands down THE BEST pizza in Aldershot. Doesn’t taste like some cheap takeaway pizza that you can get anywhere. It feels almost as if it’s homemade. The restaurant itself is very nice. You may not notice it but there is an area with some tables if you go down the corridor. You can definitely see how passionate the owners were when making this place and well… the food. I also reccomend the spaghetti carbonara”

“Excellent breakfast, friendly service. They can make a breakfast as you like it. Highly recommended.”

“The quantity of food was impressive. None of our party finished. Quality was good as well. Service friendly and efficient. Parking outside the pub was ok on the road. The pub parking was tight.”

“Popped in as it was recommended to us and we were greeted by 2 lovely members of staff, chose our table by the fire and ordered drinks and small plates. Everything came quickly, my cocktail was yummy, hubby was won over because his come came in a bottle. Our food was absolutely gorgeous and being by the fire watching the world go by was just perfect”

“We went on a Sunday and had the unlimited buffet for £23.95 included a long list of starters, intermediate duck course and main course. All the food was lovely but limited for gluten free and vegetarian options. We had a long wait between the second round of starters but it was busy. The staff were friendly. Have been coming here for years and it's always consistently great food.”

“We went for lunch as we had our granddaughter for the day and loved the "kids eat free in the holidays" deal. The food is always delicious and portions generous. Thank you for looking after us Gabbie, you were fabulous, and we appreciated your patience when a five year old bossy boots was listing what she wanted for her dessert. If you've got the app there's always more treats and deals so it's well worth downloading before you go The Marry Me Rigatoni was a triumph and my Caesar Salad one of the best I've ever had. We will definitely be back. Thank you Gabbie and team.”

“Me and my girlfriend came when it wasn’t busy, so had the place to our selves and a good window seat. Food was amazing, the pizza was really good, and the desserts mouth watering. 10/10 would recommend”

“Great beer selection and lovely food - would definitely go back!”

“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.”

“Loved the pork belly roast. Friendly staff and nice atmosphere. The grilled salmon looked good, too.”

“I used to live near here, and often got take out on the way home from work. Have eaten here regularly for many years. We now live in Florida and still visit every time we come home. So that’s close to 30 years in total. Food is always excellent and service to match.”

“Such a lovely, warming pub! The staff are very welcoming and polite especially Hollie bless her cotton socks! She definitely deserves a big Christmas bonus”

“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.”

“What a transformation! This pub ticks all of the boxes for me. Great atmosphere, beautiful food and warm, welcoming people.”

“Food is very good, all freshly prepared. Portions are on the large side so good if you are hungry but not if looking for a light bite.”

“Enjoyed the food on world pasta day.. can’t ask for more.. staff was great, food was delish.. thanks Bella Italia..”

“Best place to get donar kebab in reading been closed for so long I’m just so impatient for them to open up again can’t wait to see what improvements they made”
