Jackie Travis Lovely Indian restaurant. The ambience is excellent and its beautifully decorated. The service staff were friendly and helpful. The menu is fantastic with a wide range of choice, including street food style plates and a great selection of starters and mains. They have 2 for 1 on cocktails and this is also inclusive of mocktails and no alcohol drinks which is great for those who do not drink alcohol. The food was exquisite and I will definitely return. Parking is free after 6pm in the nearby carpark which is also a plus.

Meddeha Sajjad First visit after hearing about this place for years and did not disappoint. Ive never had pasta so perfectly cooked, the sauce and cooking of the seafood was excellent as was the pizza. The quality of ingredients was great. Even better was the service, everyone from the owner and to the waiting staff were very helpful, polite and personable. Highly highly recommend.

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!

Carly Bownes I visited this pub as I am staying in the area for work and didnt want to spend another evening sitting in the Airbnb. The staff were so accommodating and happy for me to work before my food arrived. The food was delicious, reasonably priced and the staff were super friendly and welcoming. I felt completely at ease despite being a solo diner. A big shout out to Megan who looked after me and gave fantastic service!
