Guys - the burger society is insane! I've never had a better chicken burger in my life. I have no idea how they got it that crispy but the burger was still juicy. Flavour was on point. Can't recommend it enough.

Great concept, previously very good but the food has gotten more expensive and the quality has reduced. They also don't make it clear when the food stalls close and the time seems to change based on demand. Unfortunate as it started off great.

A great lunch at Blue Collar corner. Everyone was able to grab something and it was a great vibe and atmosphere. Drinks were purchased from the small on site pub and the food from a collection of different stalls. I got the fries and they were huge. Well worth a visit.

I liked it, and it's a great idea and welcome addition to the town centre. The burger stall is massively overpriced though (£12 burger from a stall with No chips...really?!). The saffron place is slightly overpriced but more reasonable. Pizza place was great , though limited topping choice. Shame the balcony area is designated smoking area... Will give it another go when out for drink...this was a family lunch trip.

Spoilt by ridiculously loud music played on poor quality speakers. Just a distorted mess. We had to leave after our first drink. Then to add insult to injury I went for a meal at the restaurant next door and all we could hear was the blue collar speakers all evening. Sort it out.

Really wanted to like this. Unfortunately, it's just somewhere to sit out in the open and be charged extortionate prices for below average food and drink. Bog standard 'craft' lager at nearly £7 a pint. I've tried several of the food options and always been disappointed- latest failure was being charged £4 for a tiny tray of 'Belgian Fries', which turned out to be frozen chips which were only Belgian if you paid another quid for some mayo. Wouldn't even give me some salt. Just a bit rubbish really. Theres actually a pub 20 metres away which offers all the same things for probably less and it has a beer garden. Disappointing.  Security staff are friendly though.

Blue Collar Corner is a funky shipping container type pop up venue in Reading town centre. This is different. Inside there are a number of food bars offering a range of tasty food in good portions. I had the coco chicken and it was good - and a big portion! The main bar serves beer from a local brewery. Plenty of seating downstairs and upstairs - it's a fairly large venue. Live DJ playing. Overall a nice vibe with a relaxed crowd. Definitely worth checking this out in the summer.

I’ve been here loads. It’s a bit of a gem to be honest. Good changes regular to support local business and I ain’t had a bad meal once. The beer is from the Double Barrel Brewery in Reading, which is outstanding. The beer is reasonably priced. There’s always something going on here from Markets to DJ events to food courts. If you’ve not been you’ve missed out

Love the idea - imagine it works well in the evening. Came for lunch - mainly families with a few kids/babies and couples about but the management think it’s super trendy to have the speakers on LOUD all day long. It’s hard to hear one person across the quite large tables anyway. Throw in an over zealous DJ and it just became much less enjoyable. Suggest before 3pm or so turn the volume down 50% and just stick on some lounge music so your guests can have a conversation that doesn’t involve learning to lip read. Came to hang out with my wife not gurn and rave during our lunch out. Thanks

This is a nice, cool, different kind of setup. A sheltered area housing a few different hatches of a combo of street food and a Bar. Nice sturdy benches set up for you to take your pick. With heaters above you which do not fail to keep you warm. The food, reasonably priced and definitely did not disappoint. The men's toilet block could have been a little cleaner. All in all a nice eating experience. I will definitely return.

A relatively new establishment in the centre of Reading which was originally made for Summer, but has since evolved with plenty of coverings and heaters for those colder nights. The age groups largely vary but mostly millennials and older generation tend to indulge into a beer and some food, while watching some much loved sport. Great place with great vibes.

The environment gave a very floral and lovely atmosphere. However, depending on time the tables can be more of less very occupied and the chairs and tables are quite sticky. Food was really good, and cocktails decent but maybe a bit overpriced for the quality. Still very good if you want an outdoor environment that feels a bit more exotic

Went here and i have to say i had the worst experience ever on a evening out, the guy on the mexican taco stand by the way is was rude, all the traders food was priced more or less restaurant prices only one trader was showing their hygeine rating, one person was picking his nose behined a counter £6.20 for a pint of ale in a dirty glass, the music was gradualy getting louder and louder and it was only 7pm,( so loud i could not hear people on the same table) vegan options are very very limited. If you want mediocre food try the place at your peril. I hate writing negative reviews if i could had left no stars i would. I notice other people have complained about loud music too before reading reviews.
