Charlie Holloway Great community space with a welcoming atmosphere. The bar and cafe are the perfect place to meet friends and the events throughout the year are always well attended. Well done team! We love The Milestone!

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!

Alison Dennis I purchased lunch here yesterday, 6/3/26, with work colleagues. Id not been to this location before. It was easy to order, food was quick and served by cheerful staff. You can add the toppings and sauce of your choice, which is great. Its expensive, at around £20-24 for a burger, fries and a drink, but portion sizes are extremely generous. I certainly didnt want dinner! The dine in area was clean and there was plenty of seating for a lunchtime. We took our food back to work due to traffic, and the food stayed hot for the 10 minute journey back. The burger was really good and exactly as Id requested. Fries (skin on) were hot and tasty. I would definitely recommend the food here however, as I calorie count, sadly I wont be a regular visitor.

Becca Robinson Another great "Lounge" by the Loungers chain. We ate here on a Friday mid morning- it was busy but we were able to get a table easily. It was very loud due to how busy it was and its probably the smallest Lounge weve visited so noise was possibly more concentrated. Food was lush and perfect portions. Service was quick and friendly. Ideal.

Mirjana Fowle Everybody should experience The Mill at least once. It is very indulgent, food for the body and soul (literally!). The car park is small, but parking attendants help to get as many cars as possible. And it’s free. You start downstairs in the bar with all the twinkly lights and view of the mill wheel which transports you back in time while you sip on a drink (or two). Then you are taken upstairs for an evening meal. You get your dedicated table and a server who is there to make your evening comfortable. The atmosphere in the restaurant is very pleasant, there is no rush and our waitress was fantastic, very polite and friendly. Bread, butter and olives were already waiting at the table. You get to choose a main meal and dessert from the set menu (5 choices each). I had a salmon followed by vanilla pana cotta and coffee/tea in the end. That’s all included in the price of your ticket. The food arrived really quickly, it tasted delicious and we had plenty of time to chat and enjoy the atmosphere. After the meal you proceed to the theatre, which is cozy and no matter where you sit, you will be able to see every little detail on that stage. The show was a tribute to Lionel Richie and Diana Ross. We loved it, even if the drums were way too loud, the singers were excellent, including the backing singers who danced all the way through it. Audience was engaged, singing and dancing. It was a fabulous evening out and we have already bought tickets for our next show. We cannot wait!

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.
