Village Tandoori - (Near Berkshire, london)

Richard Page Stop & Taste is a takeaway diner, with table seating if you want to eat your takeaway inside. The service was prompt and friendly. The menu choices are varied and well displayed. Now to the food.. the lamb chops as a starter were made from high quality meat and spicy with a kick but not excessive. Delicious. The beef burger in a brioche bun was succulent… not surprising as the burgers are all made freshly onsite! Delicious. The crab and cheese burger tasty. Delicious. Hats off to Anton the Chef.. a local lad now serving his local community.

C Taylor What a beautiful spot! Such a lovely atmosphere and vibe, from the decor to the staff to the music volume. Food is beyond 10/10. So many lovely options, feels incredibly fresh and is so tasty. The wraps are very generous in size too! Wonderful drink options, especially alcohol free options. Wheelchair accessible with plenty of of space to sit too. Can’t recommend enough.

suki ng Whittington Tea Barge is very popular among people in Reading, and after joining their monthly 2-hour river cruise I can see why it has such a good reputation. The whole experience felt very special. The weather was warm and not windy, which made it perfect for cruising along the River Thames. With only 12 people on board, it was calm, friendly, and never crowded — a very personal experience compared to bigger boat trips. At the time of boarding, I was served the tea set. The handmade scones were fresh and delicious, and the service was good and welcoming throughout. The tea set also included sandwiches, desserts, and a choice of coffee or tea — all well prepared, nicely presented, and filling. It felt like the perfect balance between a traditional English tea and a relaxed river journey. Afterwards, I went up to the top deck. If the weather is good, I highly recommend sitting outside — the views of the River Thames are absolutely amazing and it is such a peaceful way to spend the afternoon. The whole cruise was very well organised, with enough time to enjoy both the food and the scenery without feeling rushed. For future visitors, it’s worth knowing that the river cruise only runs once a month and you need to reserve in advance as spaces are limited. On normal weekends, the barge stays in its usual spot on the river and serves a special weekend menu, so you can still enjoy eating on the boat even if there is no cruise that day. Overall, this was a wonderful and memorable experience — great food, friendly service, and beautiful river views. A lovely way to spend a couple of hours by the water in Reading. Highly recommended!

Turnbull Ian We popped in for a few cocktails as we were staying locally. Nice well presented bar with lots of casual seating. A good selection of cocktails, all made fresh by the bar staff. A top tip : If you are ordering cocktails then ask for Bella, she is a great mixologist and, by far, the cocktails she served up were the tastiest of the evening.

Gabriel Payne The staff are very welcoming and friendly, the look and the atmosphere of the restaurant is wonderful, the service and timing of each course was spot on. We had a 3 course meal. The food was amazing the look, the taste, the quality and the portion sizes were spot on. We will definitely be eating here again.

James Culley We dined here recently and both said it was the best meal wed had in a long time. The food was delicious - on the more expensive side but you do get what you pay for, with exquisite flavours and very well designed dishes. I particularly enjoyed the Apollo Fish and the lamb biryani, which I think is the best biryani Ive ever had (not dry, lamb cooked to perfection). We cant wait to go back and have already recommended it to our friends and family.
