Interior hasn't changed in almost 20 years and love that food was good. Shame you cannot exchange items like toast for fried bread etc and my friend got an ice tea £3.50 for a bottle of liptons is a joke. He wasn't happy !!

A pretty good "greasy spoon" cafe and very handily located in the centre of Reading. I am surprised that I had never discovered it before, but it is now on my list of places to get a good fry-up

The food is great, but way too overpriced. £3.95 for a sandwich is absolutely crazy when I could make several sandwiches just like that for a bit less.

Great meal. My girlfriend and I had a really lovely time in the morning having a full English breakfast. Nice big menu and you can customise pretty much anything you want even though the sign says you can't but the staff said you can which is a bonus.

Food is really affordable and nice. People are nice. However tables are quite small and if you are sitting side by side (being chubby as I am) it makes it a bit harder. A place to come in your Sunday gear and eat comfortably.

Nicely priced choices for good food is definitely always a plus, with the menu covering various options on English Breakfast as well as many other options. If ambient sound is a concern of yours, keep in mind where the speakers are located when choosing your table. It is not deafening, but will definitely impair your conversation capacities.

It has that 80s feel to it, no matter if it's the small seats, the enormous portions or the beans and sausages that have the quality of that time 😂 But that just adds to the appeal and the English Full breakfast for £9-10 quid is worth it. Drinks are separate but then you can choose to get tea, cofee or a milkshake if your stomache can handle all that! It's the most popular place in town for all day breakfast.

If you want a good English breakfast in the town centre then here’s your first port of call. Dry breakfast cooked to perfection. The toasted sandwiches are amazing. Minus one star as you seem to offer chips with breakfast. That is my Welshness talking as we don’t believe that should be in the breakfast 😂!!!

There is no more to say when a 13years old finished everything in his dish, lovely place and tasty food, could be salty to others but for me is ok, only 4 stars due to the fry toast and that could be only thing you need to avoid on the full day breakfast menu, the fry toast has too much oil in it

We had order toasties which arrived wrong at first then they came again with the cheese half melted and the whole thing was tasteless, the lettuce was brown and we had ordered orange juice which was warm. Would never return to this place even if they paid me. So many much better cafes dotted all over reading please do not waste you're money and time eating here.

I came in here with my family. We were seated at a dirty table which I had to ask to be cleaned. When the breakfasts arrived they were over cooked, poorly delivered with cheap poor quality ingredients used. Sausages over cooked, poached eggs rock hard, fried eggs broken, bacon over cooked. Mushrooms were great which really was the only positive. I was also either overcharged or it is really expensive. I did challenge the guy at the checkout but he insisted it was correct but the strange way they do the payment could be easily fiddled. I eat in a lot of cafes and this is one I certainly won’t be eating in again.

Price wise cheap food. Especially a big English breakfast. But with too many options on the menu to choose from, it became overpowering. Would take some items off the menu. But great prices.I’m tact before around 10 years back when they started the restaurant they used to offer lunch time buffet and I had there many times, however later they removed those options. The quality of the food at that time was much better now a little reduced still for the price it’s good.
