Hamlet in Wokingham

Amazing food sat at the chefs table and also had the wine flight. We had a lovely evening and would highly recommend you wont be disappointed!

Excellent restaurant in the heart of Wokingham we had the chefs tasting menu along with some delicious wines. The food was amazing and the service from the staff was fantastic.

My boyfriend and I went to Hamlet for brunch recently, and we had the most wonderful time. The staff were so lovely, and went above and beyond to make sure we were happy and had everything we needed. The food was absolutely incredible - we had the full English, the American Muffin and the French Toast. Every bite was so delicious. I would highly recommend Hamlet for anyone looking for a Brunch/Lunch/Dinner or Drinks spot in Wokingham. Lovely location, lovely people and incredible food.

Second visit to Hamlet Very disappointing Service lack lustre and basic at best Food bland other than Korean chicken Butter bean mash with fried chicken peas / zero flavour Courgette and halumi fritters no flavour Wonder if different chef O atmosphere Overshadowed by pumping music from nearby Redan Not a great experience

Consistently good, well made, tasty food - a real gem of a place in Wokingham. We've held a party there, family brunches, lunches and evening out for two and across all of them the kitchen and waiting staff have been terrific. We try elsewhere in Wokingham, but Hamlet's consistently good.

Good service, very attentive when we first arrived. Good choice of brunch menu. Our food arrived promptly & was very well presented. Only main criticism from all of our party was that we thought the ‘ smoothies’ would be freshly prepared & there was no indication on menu that this would not be the case. When they arrived, they were in 100ml bottles called ‘ Press’ ( 65 calories per bottle) . We expected more for £6.50 a bottle!!! Extortionate. Apart from that, lovely meal & ambience. I was visiting my son who has recently moved to Wokingham. I will give this restaurant another visit, but will expect more in the way of a smoothie, which needs to be freshly prepared & , if not, the description on the menu needs to be Much Much clearer, as otherwise is a rip off.

Great to be back at Hamlet. Still the same excellent service, and beautiful food. What else do you need for a great Saturday lunch. Everything is freshly cooked and locally sourced. Relaxing atmosphere. I am Cealiac, and there is loads to choose from, with even a cheeky gluten free IPA. Everything is spot on. Big thanks to all the team at Hamlet.

I absolutely love coming to Hamlet. I often come to work during the day to get out of the house. Staff are always friendly and I love that they recognise me and other guests, very welcoming. Coffee is incredible. A depth of flavour. I ordered their full English, which isn’t your typical greasy spoons full English. Amazing portion sizes. The best black pudding I’ve ever had. They make their own baked beans which are delicious. Smoky and crispy bacon. Very tasty sausage. Perfectly cooked fried egg. Mushroom and tomatoes. Warm, buttery toast. All seasoned beautifully. Atmosphere is always welcoming and friendly. I always leave feeling like a valued customer. Great that you can watch the chefs cook. Will be back again and again. A must in Wokingham.

Saturday, 2:20 p.m. We arrive. We sit outside 10 minutes. Pleasant person comes tableside; informs us that the kitchen is closing; must provide order NOW; we do so; order arrives on cold plates; we do not examine bill, approx. £30. We add £5. Was this gratuity in addition to any "service charges" you impose? Thank you. We love your place. Please make it accessible, including more foliage.

Visited with a friend and had the most delicious Eggs Royale and deep rich cappuccino. Really excellent local produce cooked by someone who cares. Service was friendly and efficient. My go to cafe for a perfect breakfast.

We were quickly seated and were taken through the menu by a really engaging waiter. We enjoyed the chicken souvlaki wrap and the sausage egg muffin with somw parmesan truffle fries on the side. The ginger lemon tea was fresh and the hot chocolate was excellent too. All in all this place is a cut above and the service relaxed with outstanding food.

My family visited Hamlet for brunch yesterday and it never fails to impress! The restaurant was busy with a great atmosphere. The eggs benedict was the best my daughter had ever tasted and the salmon lox is also excellent and huge, as was the sausage sandwich. I ordered from the additions menu and had tomato and poached egg on toast, not so large as the regular meals and was excellent quality with a choice of toast. The mochas, cappuccino and mint tea were delish.

We came for the valentines chefs table! The place was decorated so nicely and the dishes were timed perfectly between each other and were 10/10 I have been coming to hamlet for around 2 years and it is for sure my favourite restaurant and how lucky to have it in Wokingham! The team that served us were great throughout the evening and the manager gave us the heart balloon to take home. 💗💗 Thank you for another great night.

We went here as a treat - it's probably the most expensive place to eat in Wokingham - but wow the chefs table experience was just to die for. Everything was exquisite and the wine pairing was very generous. Even given breakfast for the next day! Highly recommend.

Been here a couple of times now and introduced some of my friends to their cuisine which always is presented with care and quality. Staff are also always friendly and efficient making sure our time is enjoyable as well. Excellent food!!

Love this place! Great selection of delicious food - we shared a mix of starters and sharing dishes, then had two pudding with 4 spoons, all very tasty - photos don’t do it justice. Always good service, would definitely recommend.

Food was cooked perfectly and the flavours of the ingredients complemented perfectly. Service was exceptional. Can’t rate this place highly enough. Will definitely be back and intend to try their 7 course taster menu.

The decor was distinctive and the restaurant coped admirably with all our faffing about with how many seats we needed and where to put them! The staff were friendly and had a good sense of humour. The service was good and the food was delicious. We weren’t rushed and this added to the pleasant experience.

Food was nothing special and very overpriced although very well presented. Salt was the dominant flavour in my chicken dish and you need to order sides to make a complete meal. Bottle of wine and 2 glasses were placed on our table with no words and no eye contact. We had to ask for a bottle of water 10 minutes after arriving and then received the bill and then had to ask again to pay. A little surprised to see that 14% service charge had already been added. Very disappointing evening. Too many staff doing too little.

First visit to Hamlet last night and surprised it was quite quiet considering the excellent fayre they have on offer. We turned it into a "tapas" style meal with different plates arriving at different times and it was just about perfect. Staff were great and will definitely return to try the taster menu. I was disappointed when Pan disappeared but this will be the new go-to in town from now on.

Enjoyed an evening at Hamlet with my friends. Exceptional food and atmosphere. Would highly recommend the Korean chicken. Staff are incredibly friendly and knowledgable.

25minutes wait from when we were seated to someone taking order… we actually had to come inside to place our order. Despite plenty of team members and manager, no one was interested in looking after guests.

Been a few times and the food is as good as it gets, but service is very hit and miss. Lots of inexperienced front of house, which is fine, but not managed at all. Manager type character just hides away instead of leading the team.

Great online store with competitive price. I purchased a grinder but found it not suitable for my daily use case and requested for cancellation, they promptly reply and and cancelled the order. Even more, give advices on other products might be suitable for me. I will recommend they store for coffee kits.

Always nice relaxed service and excellent fresh food. We both went for a flatbread this time and they were a generous size and well filled.

Restaurant quite noisy with open (show kitchen) inside a pretty basic functional hard surface no frills seating area. Coffee was served very hot as requested but would have preferred sugar in packets not in open glass pot in cubes. Poached eggs cooked well and sausage...

Food was average. Good steak and chips…but majorly over priced! Steak was £35 and I had to pay an extra £7 for the chips. £42! I could get the same or better for half the price elsewhere. Sorry, but it’s too expensive for what it...

This is an absolute go to. The food is absolutely amazing all fresh and delicious. The hummus alone is worth another visit. Service perfect, we were very well looked after could not recommend more!! Genuine 5 star!!

One of the best Eggs Royale I have ever had. The eggs were rich in flavour and perfectly cooked, the Hollandaise sauce was gorgeous and had a hint of lemon and the muffin and smoked salmon were just right. To accompany this I had a...

Issue 1. The french fries are not well-presented. They arrive (hot, thank you) in a smallish white bowl without a plate beneath them to catch the overflowing cheese and fries that threaten to vacate at any second. Solution? Put the fries in wood- or reed-appearing...

A fantastic night out; food of a very high standard with great provenance; lovely flavours and textures; price point just about right.

We went to Hamlet with my parents for the Chef’s Table experience, having enjoyed the brunch and lunch menu previously. The Chef’s Table is a 7 course tasting menu cooked before you for up to 6 people; the menu consists of super fresh, local and...

Hamlet is our absolute favourite place to go for breakfast. I cannot speak highly enough of this place - relaxed vibe, fantastic staff, delicious coffee and food! We go multiple times a month and always know we will have a great time! Dinner is also...

We held my daughter's first birthday party here on Sunday afternoon, as there were 35 adults and 15 children we hired the whole venue. From start to finish the team at Hamlet could not have done anymore to help us, they were professional and personable....

We enjoyed a selection of small plates, which were all delicious. Quality ingredients. Good service. Ambience could be improved to feel more intimate for an evening meal.

Couldn't resist going back. We went on Saturday night with friends. The food is constantly beautiful and such great quality. A great atmosphere, the restaurant was busy, and the service was fantastic. All the staff were very attentive, nothing too much. So refreshing to be...

Visited for breakfast. Lovely setting, fast friendly service and great food and tea. Ordered the salmon lox - would recommend.

Visited with my partner for breakfast and the food was stunning and the service excellent. We were served by Brendan, who was joyful, informative, and genuinely so helpful. We had the full English and the Salmon Lox, it is clear everything is fresh and homemade....

I recently visited hamlets cafe in Wokingham for breakfast. The menu was quite limited. I asked if I could have mushrooms on toast with some scrambled egg.. I received one small piece of sourdough toast with a reasonable portion of scrambled egg. However only one...

We went to Hamlet for a date night on Saturday and had a evening meal. They have a fantastic choice of wines available and a simple but high quality menu. The food was delicious and service attentive. Only negative was despite the mains being twice...

Terrible service, the manager needs to learn some manners. I wouldn't expect to be spoken to like this by anyone let alone the manage of the coffee shop I'm a paying customer at.

Fantastic food. The team at Hamlet are friendly and welcoming. The small plates are amazing the Korean fried chicken one of the highlights.

Awful! I have just had lunch (well only ate half.. After what happened) with a friend (we are both oaps) there was a wait for a table .. So a couple who were on a table for 6 invited us to join them as then...

Tonight we booked for three of us. Hamlet kindly agreed for two extra to join us at short notice. The service was excellent. A busy Saturday night, we still felt well look after personally, and all our needs met. Waiting staff taking time to talk...

Food looked delicious, bit unfortunately massively over-seasoned with salt. Could barely eat half before it became too much. Fed back to staff, but they made no attempt to rectify. Just said they'd advise the chef. First visit. Won't be back. Shame.

We have just had an excellent meal at Hamlet in Wokingham. Although menu small the choice was enough even for one that has a gluten intolerance. Service was good and ambience just right. Thank you

Wonderful venue, food and staff! Highly recommend if you are looking for a venue in Wokingham … everyone loved the platter!

Second visit to this lovely bistro style restaurant and deli, and again we were not disappointed. Although we had booked an outside table, but it was rather windy and cold we were automatically given a table inside. It was my friend's birthday treat and got...

Visited yesterday for the tasting menu with some friends, not really knowing what to expect. It was fantastic. The food was superb, and we were sat facing the kitchen where you could see the care and precision as each course was prepared. They catered for...

We just had our Wedding Meal and Party at Hamlet, the team did an incredible job!! We cannot thank you enough!!! The food was absolutely fantastic, every guest (we had nearly 50 adults) were throughly impressed and commented on how amazing it was! We had...

I had no preconceived ideas of what to expect when we booked to have a meal that had been given as a wedding present. If only I had known how excited I should have been. Such a relaxed and happy environment to arrive in with...

A fabulous establishment in the heart of Wokingham. Great vibe inside and out. Staff are attentive and knowledgable. Food is incredibly well put together. Small dishes that allow you to mix’n’match. Love the Korean chicken and mushroom parfait. We ordered a selection of dishes to...

Absolutely love visiting Hamlet. Really friendly atmosphere, great food and delicious wines! If you are looking for a drink or meal this place is worth a visit.

Have eaten here a few times, and whilst the food is good the service is terrible. Today we were told to sit at a table by a member of staff - which still needed to be cleared. It was a sunny Saturday but not overly...

Absolutely excellent food, tasty, fresh ingredients and very good service. I had a BLT sandwich and my wife had mushroom parfait with toasted brioche. This place is a hidden gem but it needs to do a much better job on the outside tables, maybe some...

Returned today for lunch after having had a delicious brunch previously. We had the small plate offering of Korean Chicken, Beetroot Couscous and Cauliflower fritters. All were very delicious, well presented and a good price. So nice to have a more interesting restaurant in Wokingham....

Nice to see a (short) menu with some genuinely interesting dishes, rather than a rehash of all the old favourites. Couldn't fault the taste and quality of the food, the service was very good, and the indoor space is airy and clean. The only reservation...

We had the full English and beans on toast with two coffees. At £12.50p the full English seemed over priced with only one sausage and one piece of toast although it was very tasty. The coffee was good and the beans on sourdough was good....

My title sums this up perfectly. The food was perfect. My family shared a mixture of small plates, while I went for the blt. The staff we lovely, and the service, efficient. Great spot in town, nice both inside and out. All in all a...

How anyone could rate this gem less than 5 stars is beyond me. The best breakfast I have ever eaten and I don't exaggerate. The quality of the produce is perfect, the cooking of the food, no words would do it justice. Piping hot, gorg...

Visited Saturday evening for a first time visit. Peach Place was busy and this place did look quiet so was a bit dubious but shouldn't have been as the experience was brilliant. The menu for main dishes is limited but they do lots of smaller...

Wonderful Thursday evening Chefs table experience as a group of 6. Great hospitality learning about how the 7 course menu was sourced and put together. Hamlet has a very chilled setting and the food is incredible, special note of the butternut parfait and homemade seeded...

Fabulous chefs table last week! Food was delicious, 7 courses and wine pairing, really lovely guys running this place, very experienced chefs who know their stuff and use local seasonal ingredients. Lovely touch breakfast in a box for the next day which was perfect! Throughly...

I'm lost for words. Last night I was treated to the seven course chefs table experience and it was exceptional. This restaurant is exactly what Wokingham needed. Superb food, excellent friendly staff. Faultless, well done guys.

Had a nice family meal here on Saturday evening, the waitresses were all very friendly and efficient. Food was hot, very tasty, interesting & good sized portions. Quite a tall room but although being full wasn’t noisy.would go back again.

We have been visiting Hamlet for breakfast every weekend with our 2 year old for some time now and cannot fault the food, service or atmosphere. Everything is always perfect (which is why we now never go anywhere else!). Last night, my husband and I...

Food looks and smells really nice. We have our oat milk coffee here a couple of times a week. Nice and light and airy in these covid times. Without exception the staff are so cheerful, friendly and helpful. Would recommend.

We have only ever been to Hamlet during the day with friends to meet up for coffee and needless to say have so often been tempted by the delicious selection of cakes, donuts etc. They also do a breakfast selection for those wanting more than...

Went for an evening meal. Hamlet is a great addition to Wokingham. Good food and friendly service. Portions are generous. Whilst we were there some diners were participating in a chef’s table event which looked really interesting. Will definitely revisit. Thanks for a good time.

We have eaten at Hamlet many times now, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The staff are friendly, attentive, and always make us feel welcomed. The food is delicious and the plates are beautifully presented, especially at dinner time. As a Wokingham resident, I feel fortunate...

We popped in for a sandwich, so lovely fresh and service was very nice , just what Wokingham needs , also had a lovely glass of wine, so relaxing thank you

The evening was originally intended as a meal for two on Friday night but ended up as a family occasion for six on the Saturday, but the staff were very helpful about me changing the booking twice. There was lots of choice on the menu,...

Good place for breakfast - so I have been told. Perhaps that is what we need to try, as we really like it there, service is great, but food not a great choice and not wonderful. We looked at the menu on line and decided...

Had a fab Reuben. Also an eggs Benedict as when we visited it was the crossover time between breakfast and lunch. Chips were on point. Quite an airy restaurant, modern but not too open or ‘chainy’ but defo not cosy. Flat white nice.

Tiny menu. Odd prices Kids sausage was some sort of frozen thing Menu not reflective of the website which is a “sample”. The word sample suggests a bigger menu when you arrive. In face the opposite is true. £7 quid for a blt and four...

We had a really lovely time at Hamlet! The food was brilliant - proper comfort food and lots of it. The hummus with burnt butter - what can i say? Soooo good. The restaurant is spacious and cosy at the same time. We will definitely...

I have eaten here several times since they opened and I can say without hesitation that the food has always been amazing, it is freshly cooked and a really original menu - however they excelled themselves last week. We had booked a table for 9...

I have dined at Hamlet over 10 times in the last year as a family and a couple and it’s never failed to impress. The food is excellent and it’s quickly evident that the ingredients and recipes have had a lot of thought and research...

I was really looking forward to lunch here but left feeling quite disappointed - the food was ok but nothing special - eggs florentine. I was kept waiting when I arrived - waitress glanced up but didn’t come over for 5mins - it wasn’t busy!...

What a great find this was. We were looking round Central Wokingham for lunch and came across Hamlet. It was super clean, well spaced tables, menu choices were good, staff were really nice, food was excellent. All in all, a great place

Yes the room is a bit odd. Yes it took slightly longer to get the food than I would have liked but really these are side issues. The food we ate was excellent. I can tell when dishes are being made from scratch with good...

The menu at Hamlet is intriguingly different: river trout and locally grown artichokes are not the normal stuff of Wokingham’s many eateries. But did the experience live up to the promise of the menu? Almost, but not quite. Firstly the layout isn’t quite right, it’s...

I recently enjoyed an amazing lunch with a friend at Hamlet! We were fortunate to go on a hot day so sat outside which was perfect. We opted for sandwiches and chose the 'Cuban' & the 'Bacon & Brie' with sides of salad and fries...

Dropped by unexpectedly with my wife for lunch today. I ordered a cuban sandwich, which was not available on a monday at 1:30. Ordered the fish finger sandwich for almost £10, white bread and no sides. My wife ordered the toasted with melted cheese on...

It's rare to be eating a lunch that is so INCREDIBLE that one pauses, mid meal, to message her friends and recommend the place to them all. We had a fantastic meal at Hamlet on Bank Holiday Monday. We knew the quality would be high...

Have thought about coming here since it opened and today was a sunny Sunday so popped along for lunch. I had the Halibut & Watercress ceviche - it was absolutely gorgeous - so tasty. Came with seeded crackers - also delicious although too many for...

Can’t review highly enough the lunch we had! Small plates were divine - soda bread like granny used to make… meatballs to die for! The service was attentive and ambiance just right…. Encourage anyone in the Wokingham area to give these guys a visit! Bravo...

Cheapest red wine was £35, I had to double check , sadly I was correct. Left without ordering, there’s taking the mickey and then truly taking the P. Went somewhere else nearby who had 11 wines under £35, cheapest being £19. They won’t last long...

My boys were really excited to try this place - it looks lovely from the outside. First signs weren’t promising, disinterested staff, had to wait about 20 minutes for our drinks (was very quiet). Bit of a strange menu but we decided on what to...

Peach place courtyard became a bit of a gathering spot during lockdown, with great café's and door service from the likes of Blue Orchid, the entire population of Wokingham found it an ideal space for attempting to socialize when we were all instructed to stay...
