1. Restaurant review: Côte at The Oracle

Offering a Gallic-themed menu, and featuring a mix of small tables and large booths, Côte Reading is a great place for a business lunch or a family get-together.

2. 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.

3. Restaurant review: Poachers Pub

The Poachers proposition is good food in a good pub.

4. Restaurant review: Miller & Carter Steakhouse

5. Restaurant review: The Fisherman's Cottage

The Fisherman’s Cottage on Kennetside has recently introduced a dedicated Thai kitchen alongside its traditional pub menu – and it’s fantastic.

6. Mangal Turkish Restaurant in Reading

Normally, we like to give you a picture of the food you can enjoy in the restaurant we review. But Mangal is different. Totally different.

7. The Griffin pub is a popular choice

The Griffin is one of those places whose reputation precedes it. It’s a gastropub that seems to need little introduction as it’s always busy, a sign of the quality of the food you can expect.

8. Best Western Moat House Hotel, Sindlesham

Sindlesham’s Moat House Hotel is currently running a special set menu on Sundays and it comes at a price that makes you look twice.

9. Pub brekkie at the The Monks’ Retreat

Seven O'clock. That’s not the usual time you’ll find me in a Reading pub. Well, not in the morning, anyway. No, I wasn’t drinking from the fountain of youth before starting the day, but actually enjoying a breakfast special.

10. A bountiful Harvester at Prospect Park

The Mansion House, my friend Barbara told me while we were eating there on Sunday, used to be a pavilion.
