The Gorge Cafe - (Near Berkshire, london)

M Palmer This place has got to become a staple for me! Excellent food, made fresh in front of you, and was easy to order. The free toppings station is a bonus, considering so many restaurants these days charge extra for sauces. Lovely atmosphere and very affordable food, especially with blue light discount and being part of the free ‘marugame club’. It’s also fantastic if you’re on a calorie deficit as the portions are very generous whilst being fairly low in calories and high in protein. I got the regular beef nikutame udon and had to take half of it home as it was so filling! (Takeaway pots are easy to help yourself to next to the toppings section). Would recommend to anyone!

Kiki C Amazing lunch experience. Great that it was dog friendly too, as we were just swinging by Reading and wanting something warm and indoors. The staff was attentive and very welcoming and warm, you can tell they are dog lovers too. Our dog was happy he was offered doggy ice cream by a lovely staff member, never had doggy ice cream and he loved it!!

Gosia Śka This place is always a delight! (This was not our first visit to The Rising Sun). Dinner for 3 with food and wine. Our dishes tasted amazing. Everything was hot, nicely presented and well seasoned. The service was very friendly and professional. Lana, who looked after our table was very kind and cheerful. The ambience was warm and welcoming. Thank you ❤️

Maggie Morgan Went for lunch on 19th December at 12.30. Even though I dont celebrate Christmas the happy atmosphere was a bonus. Roast meats always good but there was even more choice of veg including a sliced parsnip in a sauce which was delicious but the roast parsnips were there too. No room for pud Im afraid. Too full from a great value and excellent dinner. I call it dinner but it was lunchtime!!

Marta Parciany Tasty, quick food. Always welcome with a smile of a staff member or a manager. Always fast and nice service. The management always makes sure everything is fine. Great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Elouise A brilliant evening out! The food was impeccable, from the presentation to the taste of each course. The staff are friendly and there’s a welcoming atmosphere. It’s got plenty of areas for photo opportunities with staff willing to take photos for you! There was live music which was a lovely addition to the meal we had. We will definitely be heading back soon!
