Butternut curry was spot on. Creamy, just the right heat. The 2-for-1 espresso martini deal was a nice bonus. Interior&rsquo;s lovely too, despite the street works.

Valentine was so patient with our big group. Food was spot on, as always. She handled the special occasion chaos without a single hiccup. Really appreciated that.

Came for a late lunch with a friend. That mushroom baguette was the star &ndash; really flavourful and the bread was perfect. The canal-side spot is just lovely when the sun&#39;s out. A nice, relaxed find.

A lovely spot, always buzzing. The sea bass and prawn linguine from the specials board was spot on. Really appreciated how friendly the staff were when we called last minute to book a table. Made for a very relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are always massive. Got the steak frites again last night &ndash; it&#39;s just as huge as I remember. Honestly, you don&#39;t need a starter. That&#39;s why I keep coming back, the consistency.

This restaurant is a hidden gem in Reading, with a pleasant atmosphere and great food that keeps us coming back for special celebrations.

The ribs were good, meat fell right off the bone. The chips and slaw were fine, but the portion felt a bit small for the price.

Proper British chips, crispy outside and fluffy inside. That&#39;s the highlight here. Got them with my burger and they were spot on. Could have done with a bit more salt, but still a solid choice.

Came on a busy Friday, and they still managed to find us a spot without a booking. The service was really efficient, even with the place being packed. Our server was very friendly and checked in just the right amount. Made for a very relaxed evening.

Decent spot, usually busy. The staff are pretty good and quick. They remembered my usual order, which was a nice touch. Food was fine, though a bit pricey for what it is.

Lovely spot for a catch-up with friends. The staff were so attentive and made our evening really relaxed.

Had to try the new menu. The grilled octopus with smoked paprika was a real standout &ndash; tender, with a nice char. A bit pricey, but I&rsquo;d come back just for that dish.

Popped in for a quick bite. The Paneer Tikka Pizza was interesting, a proper mash-up of flavours. Kid&#39;s menu kept the little one happy, which is always a win. Decent for a casual stop.

Popped in for a Sunday roast on a whim - they squeezed us in, no fuss. The roast beef was spot on, really tender, and the Yorkshire puddings were proper fluffy. Just what you want on a lazy Sunday.

Duck and lamb chops were spot on, really tender. Salmon linguine was a bit too creamy for my taste, but the potatoes were a nice side. Decent meal overall.

Easy to find under the stag statue. The burger was decent, nothing fancy but hit the spot.

Jacob was a top server, really on it and friendly. The food hit the spot. I was hoping to pair the spicy nduja doughballs with a bold red, but a couple of them were missing the sausage filling. Still, a solid meal.

Chicken tikka masala was the highlight. The sauce had a nice depth, creamy but not heavy. Staff were friendly, didn&#39;t feel rushed even though it was a quick dinner stop. Good portion for the price.

Millie was lovely, offered a free drink while we waited for the oven. Food was good, but the lasagna grande portion felt a bit small for the price.

The creamy garlic mushrooms were the standout. The roast itself was good, but those mushrooms were something else.

Been coming here for years. Megan always remembers my order and gets it right, even when they&rsquo;re busy.

The loaded fries here are the real deal. Huge portion, crispy fries underneath all that cheese and bacon. It&#39;s the kind of thing that just shuts your hunger right up. Mzo was quick with it, too.

Really appreciate the gluten-free options here, and the prices are fair. Went on a Sunday and it was pleasantly quiet, good for a chat. Service was a little slow, but I think they were just short-staffed.

Been coming here for years, and that terrace view over the bay never gets old. Just a lovely spot for dinner on a summer evening.
