Once seated we began with a hot n delicious tomato and basil soup, also the fresh spring greens mix with blue cheese and pear. Our mains included a perfect tasty ribeye with the most flavorful portobello mushroom and garden tomatoes; also had the tender tuna steak with fancy sides (including a grilled asparagus). Finally for dessert we split an incredible coconut and pineapple rum infused cream brûlée. Pleasant and helpful staff, with a warm and modern design. Overall experience was peaceful, delicious, and filling! We highly recommend. We hope to return and try the roasted duck, lamb, or chicken creations.

Do not be surprised that I'm giving it 5-stars for the first review. I loved my food here…read more I was back in the UK for my graduation and my parents were staying at the Holiday Inn where this restaurant is located and so we went here for a spot of lunch. Absolutely delicious. When we entered it was quite noisy as a conference group was just finishing up but before we knew it they had left and it was quiet. Like most restaurants in the UK these days the wait-staff is mostly foreign and although they might have a little trouble understanding you, patience is due; they are friendly and absolutely fabulous at what they do. The menu is nice with a good range of options. They gave us a selection of breads to start, all excellent (I was hungry so I tried them all) and our appetizers followed shortly. To start I had the scallops, moist, a good size and lovely. For my main meal I had the "Pork 2-ways". Which was really Pork 4 ways. It included medallions of tenderloin, pork belly, bacon and crackling over a bed of pasta (check out the picture I uploaded). Delicious, very filling to the point that if you ever have a last pork meal ever, this should be it. It is on the pricier side but this restaurant isn't pretending to be pricey like some might do. Give it a try if you want a nice meal out. Bonus: clean bathrooms are always a plus.

A decent selection of beers, this is a Fuller's pub so I went with their Ascot tercentary golden ale. For mains, my friend had the lasagne. Extremely hot, he said it was quite good. I saw lots of meat in there and the cheese was grilled on top. I had the green Thai curry, which was vegetarian. With too much rice, it was also very hot. I think they probably cook the stuff before and then microwave when it's ordered but I'm not sure. The place started to fill up as we ate and the parking area was completely filled by the time we left. They also have a few tables outside.

I then uncovered the amazing desserts, wonderful wines and charming service. All of that under one roof in a fabulous old barn. So when hearing that Bills was opening up in Reading (which is about as close to my home town as you can get) I squealed with excitement and insisted on taking the parents out for dinner there. The building again is amazing. Bill has a way of choosing places with real character and this old house is the perfect setting. Upstairs there are two private dining rooms one with an enormous farmhouse table perfect for sitting large parties all together. The food is again, wonderful. I feel that the desserts didn't look quite as amazing as they do in Brighton. They were a bit mean on the fruit front, they also charge you per portion of bread, even though the portions are tiny. My final whinge will be that the didn't let us book as we wanted to eat at 6.30 but when we got there made quite a bit of a fuss about the fact the hadn't booked. The staff were all very confused. They had a lovely selection of drinks and I enjoyed a very modest Hedgerow Fizz which was a mere £3.501 In this area, you will not find better food, ethically sourced anywhere else. It really is quite wonderful. They also have a food store here and do hampers for gifts with goodies like Berkshire honey and Bill's homemade chilli jelly. It's worth eating here if you're in the area.

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.

While I was in UK, I visited Toby's as much as I could and was always impressed with their food. I wish California had something similar. I ordered the brie and broccoli parcel that came with the vegetarian carvery. The parcel was a flaky puff pastry filled with rich brie and broccoli. This dish was divine! The vegetarian carvery had great side dishes such as creamy mashed potatoes, corn, carrots, squash, stuffing, cauliflower cheese, and wonderful gravys. The beef gravy was my favorite and accompanied my sides beautifully. The dessert is exceptional and I highly recommend the treacle tart with bottomless custard. If I could only find puddings like this in California!
