M Wong Authentic Hong Kong style Chinese food. The stir fried shrimp was fresh and flavorful. My favorites were the pork chop in mayonnaise and ho fun with slice beef. Super quick service and amazing food. Reasonable price with smaller portion sizes. Would recommend anyone who misses Hong Kong to try their food! Make sure to make a reservation for dine in since they only have a few tables.

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!

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.

BTan Had a wonderful dinner with friends. Delicious starters and mixed grills. Staff were welcoming, friendly and service was good. Lovely setting and atmosphere.

Tim Parsons Absolutely love what you guys are doing. The pub has a great quirky atmosphere and fantastic events. Great selection of food and drink (including a good range of non alcoholic options for drivers). The staff are very welcoming and friendly too.
