Four Points Inn in Reading

Pleasantly surprised, good food reasonably priced, generous portions, staff very friendly and welcoming. Would definitely go back for a full meal next time, as we only wanted a sandwich this time

This was our first visit to this old world charming pub where there is a wide selection of traditional pub food on offer with three courses for a very reasonable price. Or there is an al la carte menu which is a tad more expensive. Our total bill came to juist over £80 for three people including a bottle of excellent Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and coffees. The food was great without being fancy and was not hidden under some unidentifiable gravy or add ons. The pub was busy and the staff most welcoming and attentive. The pub closes after the lunch session which we did not know and we lingered over our coffee but the lady in charge said this was not a problem which we appreciated as we had travelled a distance. This was a most enjoyable experience and we will be returning again in the future to enjoy first class service food and hospitality.

We enjoyed an excellent evening out at this gem of a pub. The service was great, as was the food and drink, which were very good value. The choice of food is exceptional...unfortunately the quantities for starters and mains meant that we didn't have room for the very tempting desserts! We will definitely go back and would recommend The Four Points without hesitation.

The location gives the visitor the relaxing, out in the country feel when visiting for food, drink or both. The menu has plenty of choice. The food can be eaten in the cosy restaurant or when the weather suits, eaten in the pub garden to the side of the restaurant. The food portions would easily appeal to the most hungry visitor. The weekend roast dinners, are a great way to bring the family out to enjoy good home cooked food. There is a bar to order your favorite tipple from, or order at the same time as your meal. All this in a beautiful thatched restaurant, served by friendly and helpful staff. .......

Omg, this pub is so welcoming, and the food is to die for, the plates are so full, great vale for the money, friendly staff.

We’ve been to the Four Points many times and it’s our favourite place for an evening meal. The food is excellent along with the service, we’re always greeted with a very warm welcome. It’s a cosy, local atmosphere with a fireplace at one end. One thing to be aware of is that the portions are big - save room for pudding if you can!

Excellent pub. Great home cooked food and large portions. Very friendly staff. A hidden Berkshire gem off the beaten track but well worth finding.

We came here to meet family before going to the nearby Basildon Park National Trust estate. We didn't book and sat outside which was no problem for the staff but the pub did fill up pretty quickly after we ordered - it's popular. Very quiet location on its own in the countryside. They get the full 5 stars as the food was hands down the best pub food we have had in years and the staff were friendly. The hunters chicken was brilliant and my wife had the Cajun burger which she loved. I would only say it might be best to book or call ahead as it's popular and for good reason.

Having driven past so many times, this attractive Coaching Inn was one we’ve always wanted to visit. After a friendly welcoming phone call to book a table for Sunday, I knew all should be well. Went for the Sunday Roast and it was so lovely, with generous portions. I like you can also eat off there regular menu if you wish, which is vast! Will definitely be back and not just to wave at when passing again, thanks 😀

Beautiful country pub situated in a lovely setting. We went for the light lunch menu with starter and main. The food was fresh and tasty and brought to the table in good time. All round great experience of service, food and prices.

We came here to have a drink and meal, food was fantastic and great choice of drinks, everyone was welcoming, make us want to come and try the Sunday roast

We came across this treasure just by chance -it was charming with lovely flower displays outside !-We ordered a drink each & food starters of prawn cocktail & pate - mains of sausage & mash with onion gravy & Caesar salad -It was beautifully prepared, plentiful ,& tasty , - and not overpriced ! Served by courteous & pleasant young ladies .Thank you for restoring our faith in the great British pub -we shall return !

If you are looking for great value food in a friendly atmosphere then this is the place to go. Service was swift and the portion size excellent

Visited early on a Saturday evening for a birthday meal, 2 adults & 2 teenagers. Food was delicious, big portions and great quality. Lovely friendly staff. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning! We booked a table in advance and would think you’d need to especially at busy times

Very good food, reasonable price. Been here to eat a few times before they never disappoint always good service and good food.

We called in for a light lunch when passing by to visit relatives locally. Parking was easy and service was quick and friendly. We had Lasagne and also Omelette with Chips - great value at £7 -95 each and a very well kept pint of 'Loose Cannon' complemented the food very well. We will certainly return when passing by!

This is not a gastro pub but somewhere doing their best to serve quality, enjoyable food in a pleasant atmosphere. And they succeed admirably! The waiting staff are very attentive and charming and the food...very tasty, good portions and not hideously priced. We definitely can recommend this place but best to book as it is very popular.

We were a large party that were well catered for. The welcome was warm and friendly, drinks were served quickly and our preordered food arrived soon after. The food was well cooked and very tasty, served by friendly staff. Both adults and children were well looked after at our birthday celebration. We will be back for more, we’ll done all.

OMG, food was so good, very big portions for the money, well worth the money, lovely helpful staff. Best food ever

Went for Sunday roast with misses food was very salty Brussels sprouts were roc heard. And not a great choice for vegetarian roast. To be honest was not the best roast looked like just be thrown on plate the best but was the apple crumble

A lovely pub with an extensive menu, good food and a friendly and welcoming service. We will be back - thank you.

What an attractive Pub. Dripping with wonderful flowers. The food was very good and very good value. Service with a smile. Friendly staff. Great menu with a wide range of choice.

Wow! Excellent value for money We have been before and it was excellent. This time probably even better. Friendly staff, and two menus at lunch time. A main menu and one for smaller appetites. From the smaller menus there’s starter, mains and desserts. Any two...

Family get together for Sunday roast. Excellent food all round at a decent price. All meals served at same time. Staff polite and efficient. Highly recommend.

Came here 22 years ago for a roast and the beef was tough. Thought I'd try again and was pleasantly surprised. The staff were polite and attentive and the meal was delicious. The beef just melted in your mouth. My friend had the lamb and...

Nice Sunday Roast, but no wifi for the guests! There's no mobile signal there, so even more important to provide some wifi, I feel

Lovely visit, from cheerful greeting through efficiently served lunch (small portion requested and provided) Excellent food

This pub is clean and airy and has an extensive menu. The food was really very good and the service was cheerful. I would certainly stop by again if passing through. There is a large carpark, which is on the other side of the main...

Myself and 2 others booked a lunch date . We all had the lighter lunch . Delicious white bait as per usual and my brother in law said his soup was very tasty . For main i had chicken caesar salad which had big chucks...

We had a pretty terrible meal here. The deep fried starters were okay, as was the salad, but anything made ‘fresh’ was a mistake. Bread rolls burnt on top and not cooked in the middle, soup was brown water, Sunday lunch offered a dry crumbly...

Had Sunday lunch for 8 people, two of us had the vegetarian option. Tasteless overcooked vegetables, not helped by some bland uncrispy ‘roast’ potatoes that tasted sweet, obviously old. Very disappointed. The play equipment outside is dangerous, falling apart and rotting. Won’t be back. Service...

Just had a family dinner with wife and my two young children. Great value for money, the food and vegetables are so fresh, and delicious. Always have a great meal .. Will be back soon Many thanks

We'd had good reports about the four points from friends and decided to try it out but quite frankly we wished we hadn't. The staff were all lovely and very welcoming. Unfortunately the food was awful. Me and my wife both had baguettes with chips...

We have just enjoyed a stunning Sunday roast dinner. Beef and Lamb cooked to perfection, melted in your mouth. Lots of vegetables and roast potatoes. Great service and value for money. Many thanks, we will return.

The food is just amazing (lamb shoulder is so tender it literally falls off the bone). The setting and the building itself are just gorgeous! We’ve been here many times and the staff was always kind and helpful. Highly recommended place!!!!!

In the middle of lovely countryside on a fairly busy road but with a generous car park opposite. Staff were very friendly and it seemed busy and frequented by locals who were there for what was very good meal deals from lunch menu, 2 courses...

Was really looking forward to our meal out, which would have been nice if you liked everything deep fried with a side salad of fruit and the chips tasting like a 10 day old fish. The food was revolting and was left as it was...

We booked at short notice and they were amazing. Felt completely safe from a Covid point of view the whole time. The menu was fab, the food divine and all at really reasonable prices. Definitely got our moneys worth and as our first and probably...

Called in for lunch with my husband! We both ordered a vegetable curry. When it came we felt the portion sizes were extremely small for £11 each. A sauce with some green beans in and a small portion of rice! It literally took up half...

Popped in on the offchance for a bite to eat. Managed to slip us in as they were fully booked later that evening. Lamb Roast was up to scratch as was the Bangers and Mash, with some melted cheese on top for good measure. Cheerful...

Good food choices, friendly staff and nice atmosphere. Very reasonable prices - we’ll be back soon!!

Went here for a family meal recently and was astounded by the food! The first steak and ale pie I’ve found that tastes like it’s actually made with fillet steak.... fantastic - would highly recommend!

I went to this lovely pub with my husband and my mum and dad ,the food was outstanding,the menu was extensive,good choice off drinks,staff friendly,will definitely recommend this place ,we booked as seemed to get busy as evening went on .I will definitely return.

This lovely country pub opens early once a year to welcome the Reading Lightweight Classic Cycling Group. Friendly staff and fresh hot coffee. The menu looks good but too early for us. Worth returning for the whole experience.

First time visiting The Four Points Inn today with my husband and our good friend who recommended this lovely place to us! We have always heard great things and was not disappointed in the slightest! The food was piping hot and absolutely delicious.... also you...

Great food, great prices lovely food and brilliant service . Very large menu and all pub classics covered. Food seemed home cooked and all came hot (rare these days) Strongly recommend

On the off chance of lunch we popped in but we're told they were fully booked. We weren't offered if we wanted to sit at the lower chairs but we asked if we could. A couple then came in asking the same as us and...

Went in the week for lunch, large menu and a light lunch menu as well. Lovely meal and good service.

Fantastic pub with friendly staff with a great selection of beers and food . Very good value for money

Was taken there once for lunch by a friend and took my wife more recently. Very pleasant place to have lunch with good food.

Going by reviews expected much more here. I'd booked a table. Bar quiet when we went in but ignored by the, I think, senior person on duty. Admittedly she was dealing with a lady making a Christmas Ladies' lunch booking but there was no excuse...

Excellent value for money especially senior citizens at lunch time very friendly staff, plenty of parking

This is the second time we sought out this pub because the food is great the service is good and it's really a quaint thatched pub set in beautiful countryside.

We have tried in the past to make reservations to be disappointed. So when we booked mid-week we were expecting a very positive experience. Sadly it was not to be. My Hunters Chicken was very average and my wife's fish pie consisted of a large...

Went for the first time today,having come across the pub on our travels a few days previous. The thatched building,heavily decorated with flowers, looks very impressive from the road. The 'oldie world' interior is very pleasant and comfortable. The food and service is excellent, good...

Very good three course lunch menu. Excellent service and great beer. This 400 year old pub does a three course lunch for £9.00 and they are not stingey with the helpings. I particularly liked the fact that the salad was already dressed, so it wasn't...

Little jewel in the countryside. Good parking and choice of in or out seating. Play area for the young ones as well. We visited at the tail end (and hottest) day of the warm weather and the staff were literally sweating whilst rushing about to...

Excellent value.Great food very reasonably priced & very helpful polite staff.Didn't feel rushed at all.Very clean & attractive place to eat.

When I come home from America and I take my Grandparents out there is never a doubt where we go. It takes us about 25 minutes to get here but still the most obvious choice. After over 10 visits not once have we left without...

How can they do it serviing a three-course lunch for £9. The pub is in a beautiful setting and the thatched roof building is inviting. All the staff were friendly and enthusiastic with much banter with the customers many being regulars I am sure. The...

Good food and generous portions. Very friendly staff and nice ambiance - low beams and “olde worldy”. Outside is very pretty with lots of flower boxes. We had the lamb shoulder and the sea bass - both excellent. Highly recommend a visit.

Good ,plain fare ,very good value for money . I would recommend this pub / restaurant, good parking ,lovely countryside,what more do you want ??.

Very picturesque pub off the beaten track. So far off in fact there's no mobile phone coverage, which could be considered a plus. Extensive menu of typical pub food with a special Sunday lunch set menu available at a fixed price depending on whether you...

I have been here time and time again, with partners, family, friends and everything in between. I don't thi k there is a better value place to eat in the entirety of Berkshire. Fantastic pub quality food, huge portion sizes, friendly staff, and great menu (although I miss the game liver and bacon tower!). I have recommended this place to every person I know and have never heard a bad word. Fantastic.

This is the best place for a meal any time, week days evenings and week end we now come here regularly the food is great the staff are great there is nothing bad to say,the meals are extremely good value we have tried many of...

Visited with friends for a get-together and we had a wonderful meal each. Nice choice of local meat, everything cooked well and no fancy stuff. As they say good old English pub grub. Service was really good for a rural location and highly attentive owner.

Fuimos allí la semana pasada para el almuerzo con mi madre. Absolutamente precioso, el servicio de comida encantadora personal educado así, ambiente encantador. El único inconveniente (como estoy obligado) me ruedas moverse en la puerta, como era un poco difícil, pero nos las arreglamos bien. A un precio muy razonable. Bien merece una visita. Recomienda reservar con antelación ya que se llena muy rápidamente.
