Ignore all the other chippies in the Wokingham Road and make for the Three Tuns crossroads - well worth the effort.

I usually ring first to check as very occasionally they have to use a different supplier.

This is an awesome crown jewel of a pub/restaurant close to Reading, Uk. The atmosphere was exactly…read morewhat we dreamed it would be and the beer and food selections were outstanding. After our fourth visit in one week, we were treated like royalty. The staff was very attentive. The facility was vintage in appearance and very clean. (It appeared to have been recently remodeled pubstyle.) Don't miss out on this!

Zizzi always has good food but this branch was particularly good and this was our nicest meal in…read moreany of their branches. When we arrived, we were greeted by really friendly staff. They seated us and we received complimentary pasta crisps. These were unexpectedly lovely. Slightly spicy and a great consistency. Our drinks arrived shortly after we ordered them. I had the white peach and raspberry refresher. If I'm honest, it was disappointing. The taste of mint completely masked any of the flavours advertised in the name. My partner ordered the Morello Cherry Refresher. He loved it and said it was amazing and fresh. I on the other hand thought it tasted artificial. To start, we shared Garlic Bread. It was a generous portion so perfect for two people. It was crispy but not overdone and had a great ratio of garlic oil. We actually got this for free as we are members of the Zizzi loyalty scheme. For a main, I chose the Chorizo Carbonara. The carbonara itself was incredible. Really creamy but not too sickly. The chorizo was quite salty, so if you don't like salt, this wouldn't be a good choice. The bacon was a little bit fatty but the larger pieces on top were perfect. My partner ordered the Pepperoni Campagna pizza. It had a lovely thin base which was cooked perfectly, however the crusts were crumbling away. It had a really good amount of toppings and a nice presentation. The chilli oil served with the pizza was one of the best we've tried. Unlike other pizza chains, you could actually taste the chilli. The pizza sauce was amazing. The restaurant had a good vibe overall, despite the fact we arrived shortly before closing time. There were still a lot of people there and the staff didn't seem disgruntled by the fact we arrived so late.

Quite disappointed for today Sunday roast. The potatoes and parsnips was soooooo over cooked. You…read morecannot put your knife through it. It is such a shame as the food was good 4 years ago. We did say something to the waitress and she was very apologetic. Then manager came over apologised again and asked if there is anything wrong with the beef. We said it was the veg mainly. The beef was ok but not great. They gave us some free side dishes and desserts. I must say the building and the services were very good. However the chef and food really let this place down. I saw most people left out their veg on their plate when I left. My partner doesn't normally complain about food. So it must be quite bad. You can't cook the potatoes right what's left for a Sunday roast?! It's £20 for the roast so there should be some expectations to it. I gave 2 stars only because the service was good and the complimentary gesture. Otherwise 1 star!

I've been to this Bel and The Dragon (and the one in Godalming) a number of times and have always…read morehad a good time and good food. The service and general feel of the place is relaxed and friendly, the menu is largely British in theme and tends to change with the season. They usually have some seasonal game on the menu which I like, their wood pigeon has been excellent the couple of times I've had it. Bel and The Dragons tend to be in interesting buildings and this one is no exception. They renovated the boat house specifically for the restaurant and it's a great setting (albeit not quite as interesting as the Godalming one which is in an old Church). Probably my favourite restaurant in Reading.

We went there for a birthday celebration and had a company of 20. We were very well taken care of,…read morethe staff were attentive despite our indecisiveness and the busyness of the place on that night. The food was good, the pizzas were not thick and one pizza per person was definitely filling. The pastas were huge, definitely worth the money paid. To top it off, we could use a discount voucher (they constantly updated their website for these vouchers) and we only paid a meagre sum per person although we had much to eat and drink. The ambience was fantastic as well. If there was no large crowds like us, the place would be fantastic for a dinner date.

I had a terrible time last time I was there…read more The fire alarm was going off for at least 30 minutes (it had broken apparently), so you couldn't hear yourself think. Noone came to apologise or anything in that time, just ignored us. When we did get our food (about an hour after we arrived) mine was cold, so I politely sent it (with some salad now on the side) back. And - you've guessed it - they microwaved the whole lot!!! Including my salad! When I said something, they just shrugged and walked off leaving me with it. Noone came to see us, so we just paid and left without finishing our meal. I wish I'd persevered and complained more at the time. Will probably give it another chance at some point as it might have been a one-off but nervous

The cakes are brilliant - especially the legendary Guinness cake. My friend's child had a birthday party at the climbing wall and booked on for food at Ground Up Cafe. The staff were very friendly and the kids loved the pizza (the adults did, too!). It's great to have an ever-changing menu. They cater for different dietary requirements, too. There are always plenty of veggie options and gluten free cakes that are so good you'd never know!

The terrace seating looks right out into the Thames…read more For appetizers, we shared the Smoked Cod Arancini and the Smoked Salmon, and then decided to each have pastas for our mains, my friend has the Arrabbiata and I had the Carbonara. All the food was delicious (sorry there are no photos, because we devoured the food). There are lots of food options that range from light to heavy, as well as plenty of options for vegetarians. However, I really do think that people go there specifically to enjoy the views and the river on nice days.

On arrival, we were asked to wait at a bar for a short while - no problem, it was peak time. The…read moreserver spent her time flirting with the many men in line waiting, and pouring slowly so we never got served in the 15 minute wait. Once we were seated, we ordered and waited. It's a simple menu serving simple food, but you're given a wait time long enough for two check ins for more drinks - hmmm. Luckily, the burgers were great - perfectly cooked, flavourful and well presented. There was only one piece of bacon in the burger, which felt cheap, and our side of slaw was still ice cold from the fridge, but that's nit picking. And then there was the 20 minute wait for the bill at the end. Our beer server floated through, ignoring us again. Loud music played. A shame, as this place could be great. As is, it's average.

I highly recommend it…read more There are a lot of places to eat in Caversham and lots of food choices that you could make but, if you get the chance I would highly recommend that you try the Alto Lounge for a lot of reasons. It is located on the north side of Church Street just north of the Caversham Bridge. It is right off the street and has a few tables outside but I would recommend eating inside. The inside has a pub-like atmosphere with a wood floor, wood tables, pictures all over the wall and a bar along one side. We were greeted and seated remarkably quickly. The tables are numbered and ordering can be accomplished by either ordering online (pretty efficient and quick) or going up to the bar. I visited this place twice in the week that I was in the area and got an egg sandwich the first time and a burger the second time. Both were excellent. I would also recommend their ciders and ales. I tried the cider and it was one of the best I have had. Overall, this is a great choice for a meal if you are in the area.
