Will advertise they have an event on but it’s a lie. Waited for 2 hours for show that didn’t exist. 5 star reviews are only because they incentivise customers with drinks. Do not go!!

While many bars in Reading are closing or changing hands, this place has remained consistently reliable with a fantastic atmosphere. Great selection of drinks at reasonable prices, a properly heated outdoor area, and decent live bands. The toilets could use a refurb, but otherwise, it’s top-class.

For a large station pub it's excellent. Good selection of drinks and a decent menu of good burgers, fish & chips, steak, salads, etc. Various deals make it remarkably good value and far better than others beginning with JD. Live music and events all add as well. A thoroughly decent pub.

We went as a family on Saturday after go karting for my son's 8th birthday. We had heard great things about the food and we were not disappointed! Son loved the chicken wings and the loaded fries were amazing. The steak sandwich was also top drawer. The icing on the 'cake' was the chocolate brownie and ice cream they brought out for the birthday boy - lovely touch. Looks like a smart place for night time too with large drinks selection and live music - I will be back soon for that !

Surreal. Reading’s finest if I may say so myself. The quality of the vibes, the level of professionalism from the team, the sheer excitement and bustle of the locals brimming the place from door to door. It’s been a long time coming since I had a night like the one at Oakford Social Club. To the rest of the world you’re all missing out. Sam was a great help and made me feel instantly welcomed. Ask for her when you visit!

Came here for a work event. Was Pride night so was busy which is to be expected. However does not have ability to set up a tab so spent the entire evening queueing at the bar getting drink which put me off booking here again for another corporate meal. Drag was great and staff lovely but such a silly rule when someone has booked a table

I recently visited Oakford Social Club and had an exceptional experience! From the moment I walked in, the atmosphere was warm and inviting. The decor has a perfect blend of classic charm and modern comfort, making it a great place to relax and unwind. What really stood out to me was the incredible staff. Everyone was incredibly friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about what they do. Our servers, Georgia , Ben , flo, herminonie and Pete went above and beyond to ensure we had a fantastic evening, offering excellent recommendations and making sure our drinks were always topped up. The food was delicious, with a great variety of options to choose from. Whether you're in the mood for classic pub fare or something a bit more adventurous, there's something for everyone. I particularly enjoyed their whiskey selection, which perfectly complemented the meal. For those who prefer non-alcoholic options, their Pepsi was refreshingly crisp. Overall, Oakford Social Club is a gem in our community in Reading. The combination of great food, a welcoming atmosphere, and outstanding staff makes it a must-visit. I can't wait to go back and enjoy another wonderful evening there !

Vine aquí para cenar en el camino entre el trabajo y el grupo de discapacidad en el que ayudo en la iglesia. El personal era muy servicial y la comida era excelente y preparada rápidamente. La única cosa que diría es que tiene que haber la facilidad de pedir en la mesa, ya que aunque soy totalmente móvil, tengo una vieja y querida amiga que podría hacerlo ya que utiliza una silla de ruedas, y esa es la razón de dos estrellas.
