Decent hotel on the outskirts of Reading so well worth checking out if you need a place to stay…read morewhilst travelling. I only slept, showered and breakfasted here so review based on that as I was out and about the rest of my stay. Checkout is 12 noon which is decent, staff are friendly and helpful. Bed was comfy, TV with freeview/extra channels too. Health club with swimming pool but didn't have time to check out. This is a Holiday Inn so a chain but it was clean, tidy, provided a good breakfast so happy to give 4*. Breakfast if not included in your deal, is £8.95 if bought voucher in advance from reception. Continental, cereals and full cooked breakfast is available, plus there is a pancake station. Kids eat free. Lots of freshly cooked items available and I was able to get gluten free toast in the morning so I was happy at that. Starbucks coffee stand also there too, plus a bar so a pint is about £4, pepsi is £1.90 a bottle. Taxi into Reading is about £10 from the hotel as not much near the hotel. So, yep, had a decent stay and would be happy to book again. Worth checking HI website as double room was about £60 per night during the weekend, though I think during the week stays are pricier!
Modern motel-style low-rise hotel around 3 miles out of Reading but fairly close to the M4 J11…read moremotorway junction. A typical Holiday Inn, part of the Intercontinental chain. The rooms are typical for a hotel of this type, clean and a reasonable size. The public rooms are large and the decor modern. There is plenty of parking, but as it is around the low-rise building you can end up with a long walk back to the entrance.

Not much good stuff to report on, other than the fact that it's a relatively cheap roof over your…read morehead. -Place is in the middle of nowhere - a cab there from Heathrow was nearly 120 pounds. Nearest department store is a 50-pound ride roundtrip -20 minute wait if you want a cab to any nearby store - all cabs have to be special-ordered. -Food is awful - I was never once satisfied, and it's the only option as there are no area restaurants. Chicken rogan josh was bland, stringy and overcooked. Pizza rubbery. Scrambled eggs sitting in about an centimeter of water. Fish and chips unseasoned and only partially crispy. Burger overcooked and chewy, bun stale, lettuce rusted and chips not salted. Desserts were terrible too and tasted old (the line chef actually came over to me and my friend as we were taking some pastries and told us to "Put that pastry back. It's DISGUSTING!") -Room smelled musty, torn carpets, outdated air conditioning, almost no climate control, peeling paint, no screens on windows. -No adapters for plugs at the front desks - seriously!? All these international guests and you don't keep any adapters on hand??? -Terrible wifi - took almost 6 minutes for Yelp to load so I could post this review. And another 4 minutes for this review to be posted Now, how could a hotel be this bad and stay in business, you ask? My cab driver shed some light on that. Apparently this place doesn't care about customer service, because they're going to make money regardless. BMW operates a training facility next door and the hotel is contracted with them to receive a set sum of money per year. Whether or not that's true, hopefully they start taking their business seriously soon because if BMW were to pull out of this contract due to poor service, I don't see how Wokefield would survive. Bottom line: unless you have no other choice, don't bother staying here. I've been in $30/night hostels with better food, nicer-smelling rooms, and better WiFi than Wokefield.

Nice looking hotel along the Thames River with a great running path with swans everywhere. Room was clean, nice layout, room to do yoga, nice bathroom. Breakfast was 9 pounds if you purchased in advance and it was fantastic.

Would definitely use them again and recommend to our school friends.
This theatre in the Winston Churchill Hall in Ruislip is somewhat dated but has bags of character…read more It is due to be updated with a large grant from the local council in Mid 2011, so it will be interresting to see what they do to the old place. I think it is manned predominantly by volunteers so has a very friendly atmosphere. You get all sorts of shows here from comedies to plays and musicals (I have been fortunate enough to perform here and thoroughly enjoyed it). The theatre is very close to bus and rail routes (Metropolitan & Piccadilly lines-Exit at Ruislip station) and is easily accessible from the centre of Ruislip (approx 100m), for those who can't drive/don't have a car or would prefer a social evening. It also has its own private car park; however, this gets very busy so turn up early to avoid dissapointment. Inside the theatre is a little dated with a small bar but large seating area. The place doubles up as a village hall so has to cater for all. The auditorium is excellent, with a large stage, raised seating and the sound travels really well. You can always get an excellent view of the stage, along with the other 250 people that it seats. There are also some very nice pubs in the local area to visit after the show has finished. There is plenty going on here, so always worth putting it into your favourites list so you can keep abreast of events (will no doubt be worth 5 stars when the upgrades are completed).

The hall transmits noise well (as we found out when our children made sounds during a quiet service). It is spacious and would work well for many mid-size groups 100-200 people. The kitchen is located off the lobby which allows people to preparing quietly in the background while the event takes place. For a fun approach, try Newnham Lane!

Rates are also quite decent and the kitchen is easy to work in. If you're looking at doing a reception on the cheap then check them out.

The Royal Berkshire Conference Centre offers meeting rooms, executive suites, and lounges for business meetings and events. What better place to hold a team-building event than at a sports stadium? There is even an aptly named Princess Suite with a lounge area that overlooks the courtyard of the Millennium Madejski Hotel; this is the largest room, holding up to 400 people, and often chosen for weddings. Not really my style, but it probably works perfectly for someone else. I'm giving the Conference Centre an extra star because I'm just plain impressed.

Also runs a cinema club that plays films that have been in mainstream cinema for a couple of months for a very low price. Would be good to see more recent release films & theatre productions there.

Well how about this! Numerous movies have been filmed here (including scenes from a James Bond film), it is ideal for weddings, corporate events would impress everyone in this location, as well as local crafts fairs on the property. (Only 38 miles from London, 15 miles from Reading, 20 miles from Oxford) ENJOY!!

Recently they helped raise £4000 pounds for Cancer Reasearsh UK by allowing the use of the hall for free and the garden for a BBQ with use of there own equipment. They also support Yateley Green football club. They have a big screen and 2 flat screen TV for people to watch and its not just football that you can watch every other sport has a chance to be aired as well. I recently went on a saturday night and they had a Wii night it was great fun and well attended and our team won £30 by comming first.

I'm not entirely clear as to why the Hexagon is so named. It didn't seem particularly hexagonal in…read moreshape, but I should probably look this fact up and return to it at another time. The Hexagon's shape isn't the important issue here though, what's important is whether it was a good venue for Alexa G and I to learn about science and fawn over Brian Cox and Ben Goldacre. And the answer is YES. This theatre might have been tricky to find in the first instance, but it's handily located for Reading Central train station and a good few local amenities. The bar is expensive as hell, but aren't they all in theatres? Meanwhile the venue lends itself very well to performances of all kinds. The great thing about the Hexagon is that even if you're in the nosebleeds like we were, you're still not actually far away from the stage. It's small enough to be intimate yet large enough to hold a decent amount of revellers. While it seems a little dated in places, overall it harbours a pleasant atmosphere... and the bathrooms are pretty well maintained, which is always nice when you're spending your hard-earned on entertainment. Overall, I'd be more than happy to attend another show at the Reading Hexagon. Four enthusiastic stars to it!

I didn't think it was lit up very well from the outside - we parked in a multi storey right next to (more luck than judgement!) but had to ask directions. It is a lovely theatre once you are inside with seating and food and a bar to enjoy while you wait. The doors are clearly signposted and the staff seemed very helpful and friendly. There was a good atmosphere in the theatre.
