Good friendly service. Quality ingredients in the breakfast. The table was not cleaned properly, it wasn't very busy and the table had been prepared when we arrived but there were blobs on ketchup on the table breakfast was served on a skillet but was only warm at best. Tea should be served in a pot not a tea bag in a mug of water

Very noisy on a Saturday lunchtime Our table was close to glass with another couple the other side which was odd and I was uncomfortable with it. Both tables touched the glass!! Loads of children, some running around Lovely food but I wouldn't go in daytime again and I wouldn't sit in same place.

On arrival met by lovely girl, very wecoming, seated us at our table. I guess she then went off duty as we were ignored for over half an hour. Eventually caught the eye of I guess a manager who wasn't very impressive. Food was as expected ( we have eaten here many times previously). Staff completely let you down on this occasion.

Super atmosphere & large enough to accommodate you if they are busy,service was good as with a fantastic location. Only thing was the parking if it is a busy day like a wkd or bank Holiday then parking can be frustrating as slightly not big enough for weekends but understand that during the week it would be much better.

The fresh ginger juice was great, and enjoyed the sticky toffee pudding. Service was wonderful thanks to Holly who was really kind, helpful and made everything very easy. Would go back.

😡Matt King On the 27/August 2024 my dad ordered glass pod for my brother’s birthday we all had a starter then they brought out the main course but they had not cleared away our starter plates you would clear away the starter plates before serving the main course my brother had the steak he said it was fatty not good. He asked for a knife and knife was blunt could not cut through the steak the lady replaced the knife that knife was blunt as well not good I a all our chips were cold not good. They did replace the chips but they were a little bit warmer I had the fish and chips dry not very good and the cod Not big and chunky. It was like having something from a supermarket that’s not good when I asked do we have mushy peas She said yes no it was not mushy peas. They were dried peas that’s not good. Would I recommend this place for fish and chips? No that’s not good with my brother. Recommend this place for steak. No that’s not good. My dad said would like to speak to the manager. the waitress went and got the manager manager just wanted to speak over the top of us and not listen to what we were saying he could’ve spoken after we had finished remember the customer comes first the waitress listen to what we had to say she should be made manager not the manager because he didn’t want to listen. He likes being a manager because he gets paid a lot of money but he doesn’t like doing his job and that is listening to his customers would I recommend this restaurant this restaurant no if I wanted poor quality food I would go to a cheaper restaurant. I came here because this restaurant is meant to be good that’s why you pay more money. I will not be recommending this restaurant to anyone. I get better service at a Wetherspoons the manager, listens before speaking and does not walk away. 😡 when restaurant only gets 4.2 then you know there is something wrong with that restaurant.

PLEASE DON'T GO HERE!!!! I just stopped to pick up my Daughter who was a resident and got a £60 parking fine!!No clear signing, I never got out of my car. No ability to complain to the parking company and the Hotel just ignored my emails and would not deal with my calls. Disgusting!!!! I didn't feel ignored, you simply did ignore my email from 29th July until I posted this public review, which you obviously haven't read as I clearly stated that I never got out of my car so wouldn't have been aware of your login proceedure. I'm surprised you did respond publicly as I had given you my phone number! As a gesture of goodwill I would have expected you to assist with a refund having made you aware of the circumstances that's all. Your attitude doesn't change my opinion and to quote your email if if have any quiries is laughable as you don't respond to emails!!!

Sunday anniversary lunch, table reserved. We get to the place to realise its taken over by a big wedding. Every single parking place is taken, and we are not allowed into the overflow park, that's only for the wedding guests. We called restaurant to inform them that we won't be able to come as their is literally no space to park, only to be told to "drive around few more times". We refused, so they cancelled the reservation, and then told us "to do them a favour and check of we could see any free parking places on the street leaving, and give them a call back to tell where they are". Speechless. Not only greedy enough to overbook the place. Not only arrogant enough to suggest we don't understand if parking is full or not. But also next level asking us to be their parking attendants, after having destroyed our anniversary lunch. Its unlikely we will return after this.

Where do I begin- customers have to order their meal through an app via the barcode provided on the table. Needed to order twice because confirmation didn’t go through to the kitchen. Got the drinks order wrong. We waited 40 minutes for a chicken salad and steak with fries. Quality of the food was not good. Very fatty steak and croutons in the salad were old. You shouldn’t have to remind waiters to provide cutlery and napkins. No one came to check on our table at any time. Lastly, I sent an email to them and it went unanswered. Unprofessional and expensive (London prices) for mediocre service.

A Breakfast Fit for Champions! After an invigorating 8km swim in the Thames, I was looking for a hearty and delicious meal to refuel and stumbled upon Cuppa for breakfast. What an incredible find! Their breakfast skillet is a delightful collaboration of culinary delight, presented in a hot skillet for heat retention and total enjoyment. The combination of perfectly cooked tomato, vibrant black pudding, savory mushrooms, and a fresh sausage, all topped with crispy bacon and accompanied by sourdough & butter, was absolutely mouth-watering. The eggs were cooked to perfection and blended seamlessly with the other ingredients. Each bite was a burst of flavor, and the presentation in a hot skillet ensured that every mouthful stayed warm until the last bite. The use of fresh, high-quality ingredients was evident, and the portion size was generous, making it a truly satisfying meal. The friendly and attentive service only added to the experience, making me feel welcome and appreciated. Pairing my meal with a hot cup of coffee completed the perfect post-swim recovery. I highly recommend Coppa for anyone looking for a breakfast that is not only delicious but also wholesome and nourishing. Whether you've just finished a swim in the Thames or are simply looking for a fantastic breakfast spot, this place is a must-visit!

Spent a birthday here and also stayed on site in The Coach House apartment. Venue is very picturesque, do allow for slow traffic if coming from the Reading area, and the facilities were very good. The staff were individually all very pleasant and great to deal with.

Not happy at all. Got a parking ticket in October 23 from Euro car parks as they manage the car park. I was told by Coppa they’d get it removed as a goodwill gesture. I keep getting parking reminder letters despite me sending 3 follow up emails to Coppa Club, but getting no response. Now being hounded for £170! I’m just going to leave a weekly bad review and see if they get ignored! UPDATE: Emails still being ignored and another threatening letter received from Euro Car Parks!

I met two friends here for dinner on a Sunday evening. I've been quite a few times before - I was surprised that it was really buzzy on the terrace but not that buzzy inside. Our food was nice, but my fish cake was too salty and it always irks me to pay extra for sides. We were chatting quite late and the staff clearly wanted to get rid of us, but nobody actually came to tell us we had to leave - they just used a variety of not-so-subtle tactics like giving us our bill, turning the lights up brighter and shouting 'OK I'M OFF' to each other, so that didn't end the evening on an overly favourable note.

Disappointing. Attended a work event here and we were presented with a buffet of cold beef burgers and cold fries. Worse people had previously asked if they could start eating and take the burgers whilst they were hot but were made to wait until everything was out. Giving the food plenty of time to go cold. Desserts were also served buffet style which is fine, but not enough were available for the whole group, meaning about 30% of the staff went without. As for the venue itself multiple guests were unable to park due to the inadequate parking facilities and despite it being 15° outside and raining, the Aircon was on full blast, with people having to wear coats inside in July to warm up. I've been here before for work meals and it ways always ok, the food is a little underwhelming for the price usually. But today was really poor.

Very disappointed.. They need to understand that they are only a pub! Nothing special! My wife and i went for a meal, i was given the incorrect starter, and the toast they gave me was burnt! The main meal: my wife had a different fish to what she ordered and i was missing my side! The table next to us ended up paying for our bill and we ended up paying their bill! Even tho they paid on a bloody QR code rubbish, our bill ended up being more so we paid them cash to sort the difference out as the waitress was clueless! I had to ask if they did deserts as we was not offered any. To be honest i have had better services down my local cafe. Very poor and extremely expensive for a pub! Been to better places in london which i think i will stick to.

To the manager: We came to Coppa in Sonning today. It was a gift from friends for helping them in the school holidays. It was also a chance for my wife and I to have lunch together as our kids are away on a school trip. We were extremely disappointed. Service was very slow. When my wife's brunch skillet finally arrived, it was cold. It looked like it had been kept warm. Both our coffees were cold. We sent the brunch back and coffees back. When replacement coffees arrived, they were also lukewarm. We sent those back and left. Very disappointed, especially as due to traffic it had taken us 52 mins from Twyford. We have been reasonably often over the years as we've lived in Twyford 15 years. I'm sorry to say, we won't be back

I am a frequent visitor to Coppa Club and it’s such a shame to say the service has started to lack over the last couple years. Today I went for an evening meal, and I’m sad to say the experience was sub par. I arrived and ordered drinks for my girlfriend and I. Unfortunately my girlfriend didn’t have her ID so she wasn’t served an alcoholic drink. As a manager of a bar myself I understand alcohol licensing and we accepted this. But I was made to feel awkward and for the rest of the meal. And was asked for my ID a second time after ordering my second drink, which felt unnecessary and made myself and my girlfriend feel very uncomfortable. Secondly the food was also not great. Our starters arrived without serving plates and my steak for a main course arrived with the smallest portion of fries, and a hair in the salad. After speaking to a manager, the service charge and £10 was taken off the bill. Unfortunately I still feel it appropriate to write a complaint after such a poor and awkward experience.

The food is incredible and atmosphere is great. However, the service is absolutely terrible. The drinks order took around 15/20 minutes followed by another long wait to order food and we asked for table water which never came. I then asked if one of the drinks was similar to a Margarita and the waitress just said “I don’t know” and shrugged her shoulders which wasn’t very helpful tbh. I don’t expect her to know the full menu but an offer to find out more would have been appreciated. Dessert menus then took ages. I saw another couple having to help themselves to menus. It’s a nice place however a large majority of the waitresses/waiters are very young in age and service is severely lacking which is disappointing when we spent so much money.

It's a shame, this place has really gone downhill. Used to have a very upmarket feel and great food, but now the service is really slow/inattentive and the food has taken a big drop in quality. My king prawn linguini looked and tasted like a microwave meal. This would be fine if it was reasonably priced but it's not. The food is worse than the Ivy and more expensive. Again, this is a real shame as the location and ambience are second to none.

The service was horrible, we had a reservation for 4pm we came a bit earlier but we had to find a table to sit by ourselves. We ordered two starters and a main meal. One of the starters was brought to us immediately which is great by no cutlery given with it we had to search for a member of staff for good 10min to ask for the cutlery. The second starter was never brought to us. We gave it a bit of time as thought that maybe they will bring this with a main food but no. We finished our main meal and the second starter was nowhere to be seen. We have asked for it and they said they will go check it which after they said they forgot and will make a fresh now, but at this point we didn’t fancy the starter anymore as we have finished our mains so just asked for a refund. The mains were average, I had ravioli which was undercooked as it was very hard. My partner had a burger which also wasn’t really nice. I don’t think I will be coming back considering the service we have received.

Great location with tasty food, some of our main meal sizes were on the small size but tasted great!

No parking at all available..when called and booked they said it was not a problem..and then on arrival there was nothing. There was an event in the day and they could have been honest about it. Poor show.

Igloos too hot ideal for winter dining not for a warm day Poor service I gave up asking. For anything. Staff too young

Booked an igloo so knew there was a 2 hour time slot. Service was very slow and we only managed a main course in the allocated time. Would have ordered desert but concerned that it would be rushed, we did check this with our waiter. Took so long to return for our order we decided to leave. There were either not enough staff or they seemed uninterested, a shame as the food that we had was OK and the venue nice. Disappointing to see other similar reviews have been made. Update 8/5/2024 - I replied to the venue as requested and am still waiting for any update. My intention was never to be offered anything (not an experience to be repeated) but to have an explanation.

Parking a huge issue we booked it twice but had to leave as after waiting for more than 30mins we still didn’t get any parking . They say they have a large car park but it’s not so and gets easily fill. While making reservations they consider this.

Heard this place nice but not our experience. The young man who showed us our table looked fed up and not in the zone, the waitress needs abit more enthusiasm. We chose fish and chips. So thought for £19.50 we would get a really nice battered fish. Small Fish, undercooked, far too much batter, tastless. French fries very little. Where were thd nice chunky chips with potato in them. A handful of French fries!!...Asked for mayo and tomoto sauce a blob in a bowl. I am sorry but I felt so upset that my daughter paid

Popped in for cocktails. Very nice ambiance, drinks were lovely and service to our table, which makes a change. The only challenge was we found the bar really cold, so we left early with hands like blocks of ice ⛄️

Wonderful sitting in one of those pod's next to the Thames, food was lovely, as was the service, not a lot of choice of beers, wine and cider okay though, great place for my birthday,

Please do not go to this restaurant if you want a vegan meal as I was only offered a plate of vegetables. When I stated that the menu said vegan options available I was told that there weren’t any. Can’t comment as to the quality of the food as I had to cancel my booking. They are not great at responding to emails or ringing back when they said they would.

Excellent place, worth experiencing their food, which is great. It's a bit pricey, the atmosphere is excellent, and there is ample space in the restaurant.

We came here for our wedding anniversary. It was our first time as the high prices have put us off, but as it was a special occasion, we thought we'd give it a try. Given the reviews and high prices, our expectations were high. Sadly those expectations were misplaced. The food was lovely and the service was friendly. But the service was slow. Our booking was for 8pm. We didn't get our main course until just before 10pm. They said it was because they were busy. If they cannot keep up with the number of tables they have on offer then they should operate as a smaller restaurant or get more staff. Otherwise everything was nice. I just cannot fathom how they can charge so much. For that price I expect to be wowed, not just nice. Rossinis is more reasonable, food just as good, service is quicker. We would only go back if they started charging more normal prices.

A nice venue with friendly staff. The coffee was quite good, but the "fish finger ciabatta" was disappointing - soggy fish fingers didn't help. We visited due to the reviews, so maybe others have had a better experience, but a restaurant is "only as good as its last performance" so we wouldn't return as consistency is vital
