The Poachers proposition is good food in a good pub.

The Shoulder of Mutton is the antidote to Reading's abundance of themed chain restaurants and their production-line meals.

13. Restaurant review: Barts Grill & Restaurant

14. Restaurant Review: Nando's is coming

After a hard day’s shopping there is nothing better than sitting down with the girls and regaining your energy before embarking on the trek home with all of your newly-purchased goods.

15. Restaurant review: Browns at The Oracle

Browns offers well cooked square meals of a classic English/French vibe.

16. Restaurant review: The Baron Cadogan

A good haggis has quite a peppery tang and is certain to cheer you up on a good cold winter’s day. Wetherspoon’s version is just that.

Mya Lacarte’s secret is that it keeps up with the food trends without sacrificing great local ingredients and clean tastes.

18. Restaurant Review: The Jolly Fryer

The Jolly Fryer is a truly excellent fish and chip shop that you should all visit.

Beautifully tender venison in quite a delicate sauce spooned onto the plate and a wing of crisp, buttery flaky pastry hovering above it, a precise quenelle of potato and colourful cabbage.

20. Restaurant review: Genting Club

Some restaurants are known for their atmosphere – others for their lack of one. But there is one where the atmosphere is already there.
