Helen Seward-Porter We use this pub on a regular basis. The service is exceptional and the team members are very attentive. Especially LUCIAN, who is so good at his job and has a smile for every customer. Currently The Griffin is decorated for Christmas and looks very festive and also there is a wonderful real fire burning every day and evening which creates a lovely atmosphere.

ankita karra I visited The Momo House on two occasions and tried a variety of dishes — momo, chicken fried rice, Nepali thali, bhuna chicken, and rice. Everything was delicious and full of flavour. The momo were fresh and well-seasoned, the fried rice had a great wok taste, and the Nepali thali was a real highlight — hearty and authentic. The bhuna chicken was rich and satisfying, pairing perfectly with the rice. The owner and staff were very friendly, creating a welcoming and relaxed atmosphere. A great spot for comforting, tasty Nepalese food — I’ll definitely be coming back!

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.

Jenna Anderson Amazing, the food was just gorgeous, all the different flavours, our table had a mixture of seafood starters, lasagne, mushroom pasta, and carbonara and it was the most delicious meal I have had ever, I would recommend everytime. I would recommend booking as it can get very busy, but definitely go. Parking is behind the restaurant and there is an entrance though the back. Definitely coming again, service was amazing, made sure everything was good and we had everything we needed

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!

Phoebe H We come here often for afternoon tea and its always fantastic. Nuno was super attentive and accommodating, and the food was delicious as always. We also really appreciate the extra mile taken for my mums birthday.
