My wife and I had been here on and off for a few years but we visit every other Thursday now for supper before a great fun bingo night. Food always lovely and we've enjoyed some interesting different dishes like the Persian lamb flatbread. Service consistently good and friendly from David, Becca and the team. Something unique to Sedero - have definitely never encountered it anywhere else - is that they put "elephant feet" under the table legs, which my wife really appreciates as she's a wheelchair user, so it gives a bit more height for her to fit her wheelchair and legs under.

Our go to place to catch up on a Friday/Saturday evening every few months for the last six years. Not the same vibe last Friday. Asked if we’d booked… you can’t book, especially for three people? It was quiet in there too! Very little white wine available. Food service stopped just after 9pm Drinks service stopped at 10pm! Without any warning, they usually say they’re stopping serving drinks at around 10.40pm. Closes at 11pm so not sure why they stopped serving drinks so early that evening. Just not the usual atmosphere, felt like they were starting to close from 9pm. Food was ok, but definitely smaller portions. Not sure we’ll go back again, shame.

I've recently been to the Sedero on two occasions. The first time was on a Saturday night to hear a friend singing. Unfortunately what I assume to be a stag party had taken over one corner of the restaurant and probably should have been asked to settle up and leave before too many rounds had taken effect. HOWEVER... My second visit, stopping in on the following Saturday morning before Wokingham Festival, was a joy! Friendly staff, a proper plateful of a full English breakfast and good coffee. Oh and five stars to whoever made that mixtape of unfamiliar cover versions that was playing. So I will be back, hopefully when my pal is back on the mic.

Husband chose this on the basis of reviews, and pricing versus the Raglan pub. Never heard of it, didnt know where it was! Early dinner before going to the cinema - lots of reserved tables for the weekly quiz, though they were happy for us to use them as we'd be gone before it started. Monday specials are burgers, which are very good. Buttermilk chicken wasn't chewy thighs either. The place itself is all wooden floors, so I'd say gets pretty noisy when it's busy - 2 tables with kids made more than enough racket for us to relocate to the other side of the room.

We always order the lounge burger which is delicious and hot! The food has had a big improvement since last year and thoroughly deserves 5 stars now. The all day breakfast is also good. A great place for coffee, brunch and dinner!

Food was very yummy. Staff were really friendly. Had multiple allergies and staff weren’t really aware of them/ what food contained what. Ordered vegan hummus along with 2 gluten free tapas but served gluten free bread that apparently contains milk ! ? When asking apparently the normal bread also contains milk? However they gave us carrot sticks instead which were lovely. Aswell as this they had only 1/4 vegan desserts available…. not great. Altogether lovely staff just not very great for allergies. Typically most Lounge bars are super good so I guess it was just an off night

Me and my husband came here Saturday night for a date night the food came out really promptly. My husband had the halloumi burger which he enjoyed. I had the mezze salad and garlic flatbread on the side both of which were so unbelievably salty and almost inedible from where it had been over seasoned. I mentioned it to the manger, Dave I believe and was told next time we come in we could have half of our bill but to be honest I dont think we will come back to this one again, unfortunately due to the fact that we were very disappointed with the food.

A shortage of staff was unfortunate, but no excuse for burgers that were burnt and inedible. The manager apologised profusely and refunded the cost of the food, but not our two colas. It has been a good venue at which to lunch, but this was very poor.

Dissapointing.... My partner and I have been eating at sedero lounge for years and the food has always been great. However this time we were both dissapointed. Food came out tepid, almost cold to touch. We sent the food back and then were given another plate of food which was also tepid. I really don't understand what is so difficult about serving food thats hot! Makes me wonder how long it had been sitting around for. WILL NOT BE RETURNING AGAIN :(

I've been here before, just once for a work lunch. I fancied a Full English today & saw they do back bacon..so have it a go. The atmosphere is relaxed, liked that. The timings of when to expect what were a bit off. The food arrived faster than expected. No bad thing. But. Wow!! This was a great breakfast! I ordered the ordinary size which was perfect for me. Next time I may go large! The switch out I needed - no egg but double beans & soft, not crispy bacon requirements were handled perfectly. Took a little bit more time but...who cares if you know what you really want, ask for it and get it! The only item lacking flavour was the tomato. Having said that. I love Greek tomatoes,, nothing beats them so I cannot put this venue down for that. The ingredients were all very good! Very good!😁 Not the cheapest but the taste matters to me. I will be back, for sure....Next week I reckon! The staff were great, helpful, friendly. Great solo experience. It felt very comfy to me & I much prefer chilled out places.

Me and a few friends came in and our order came out wrong, we asked multiple times for the missing parts of our order to be brought out and it wasn’t until we asked 5 times for it come out it got brought but had finished my food by then. Then my friend found a hair in her sandwich and when asked if it could be remade they said the kitchen was too busy and wouldn’t give a refund either. Overall really disappointing some of the staff were apologetic but others didn’t seem to care at all. Wouldn’t go there again even though used to come a lot with friends for breakfast as service was appalling.

What an awful experience. £9.50 for pancakes which had been defrosted in freezer and put in toaster with a bit of cream dumped on top. Dry and tasteless. We sent back for the chef to say that it would be the same again if he made again. We got a refund instead. Manager was obvious annoyed she did not say anything to us. Really rude.

Visited on a sunday afternoon, nice they have a normal menu and not the usual sunday roast option. Ordered up at the counter and the food is brought to your table. The kids menu is great and reasonable those noticed portions have got smaller. Myself and my husband opted for the chicken club and Fish finger Sandwich - both tasty and really good size but chips and salad Etc are extra which other venues of similar prices chips come with it. This is in a good location and great for family’s.

Not sure if the management has changed here but this place is not the same. Been going for years and this is the worst I’ve seen it. Food comes out cold, soggy and poorly presented, it takes a good 45 minutes at least to even receive it after ordering regardless of whether it’s busy or not. Staff are like a group of scruffy kids who have no idea how to serve people correctly bar the lovely girl with short hair who is usually behind the till. Tables are sticky and so is the bar, is it difficult to clean an eating establishment? I have never seen one person in there that looks as though they could be any sort of authoritative figure amongst the work place, they all look like a bunch of teenagers who don’t have a single clue how to run a cafe. Will not be returning.

I have always enjoyed visiting this lounge but my latest experience was dreadful. I stood at the bar waiting to be served while the barman took a fairly lengthy food order from a customer. There were two other staff who were clearing tables but were aware I was waiting. They went in and out from behind the bar but completely ignored me. One of them then stood opposite me but didn't acknowledge me while he poured himself a glass of water. I eventually asked if I was going to be served but was told I would have to wait until the other customer had finished oderring her food. I decided to leave and go to another pub. Appalling service!

We came upon this place on our walk around the town in the morning and decided to stop and have breakfast here. The staff were very friendly and approachable. The Covid arrangements were comfortable and you didn't feel like you were on top of other diners. The place was spacious and aesthetically pleasing. We had the Lounge breakfast with coffee and all the food and drink was to a good standard. If we go back to Wokingham we will certainly visit again but perhaps for an evening meal and drinks.

Have eaten here many times normally for breakfast which is usually very good, today however was not, we ordered two lounge breakfasts but no cutlery, the waitress realised this and said I’ll bring you some over, she then started to clear another table so we waited for a bit and saw her walking back but with no cutlery, she then made a bee line for the entrance door to sit more people down, in the end my husband went to search for the cutlery, by now our food was going cold, we started eating it anyway and both of us had to spit the sausage out it was disgusting either they have changed their suppler or they were dropped in washing up liquid because that’s what they tasted like, sorry to say but we won’t be eating here again

We had been intending to try Sedero Lounge for ages and finally got around to it just after lockdown and it has become one of our favourite restaurants. The staff are so friendly, food is superb and atmosphere is brilliant. We always have a great time and our daughter who is almost 3 loves the place. All of the staff are lovely but Aiden is definitely the most attentive, helpful, kind, friendly, positive person you could wish to meet. He is a real asset to this place and always goes the extra mile. We love to see him and he always makes everyone feel so welcome and nothing is too much trouble. Thank you for always making our visits here so lovely. We can’t recommend this place highly enough. Excellent choice for veggies and the vegan tomato & carrot soup is absolutely delicious. Looking forward to coming back after lockdown again!

Covid 19 requires ventilation be adequate. Sodero have exit and entrance doors wide open and a cold wind blowing through as a result. Outside it is 10 degrees C, inside it feels colder, especially as we were sitting eating our otherwise delicious tapas. Love the place, the staff are great but please could the management sort the "heating issue". Normally a 5 star venue, but it's like eating and drinking on a cold park bench, and Winter hasn't even arrived yet.

No Aircon and it's scorchingly warm. Could have been more cleaner but understood it's a really busy time and staff are struggling to serve.Food: mocktails with few starters and the main was bang bang chicken.Starters and drinks were spot on but the main was really bad. Noodles were super dry, no flavours and the chicken was too crispy due to over frying.May be one time visit!!!

I’ve had the breakfasts, the tapas, the burgers, mykids love the kids options, all kinds of coffees, teas, milkshakes....all delicious!The atmosphere and decor are so lovely and welcoming. Before Covid, there was a kids/book corner that i loved sitting in and enjoying a book while my kids played.But by far the BEST thing about this place are the warm wonderful staff. They are a lovely fun bunch, very diverse crowd, and they are the most polite, friendly, helpful bar staff you are likely to meet. So sweet and forthcoming towards adults, kids and dogs alike!

Went for a post lockdown lunch with friends and was greeted with such rudeness by the condescending front of house. Rather than leave a poor review, I emailed to let them know how disappointed I was with the experience (as this isn't the first time) and the response I got was defensive and completely disregarded my feedback. This exchange spanned several emails back and forth, not once apologising, asking for examples which were given and then immediately dismissed. Such a shame, as the other staff I spoke to were lovely. Will never return.

Good to see Sodero open again. I visited with my husband and dog for lunch on Saturday and we enjoyed our full English! Our male waiter was very nice too. From a COVID perspective, they’ve taken good measures which made us feel reassured:-We ordered food and drink from our phones, via a QR code. -You could only sit at tables that had been cleaned beforehand.-All menus are for single use. -All tables were well spaced out.-You have to leave your contact details for track and trace. The only downsides are minor - one member of staff is quite abrupt, and I think charging £3.25 for a powdered milkshake (which didn’t taste good) is taking the mickey.

Firstly be prepared to queue to order. This is not a place to pop in for a quick drink. Staff are charming, but there are not enough of them. (one to take all food and drinks orders)Other reviews mention rude staff. Not in my experience but I didn't see the "short haired blonde lady". However, on our visit customers were typically Wokingham rude. The world revolves around them and their I'll behaved children. Scooters indoors? Spoiled brats.. In short, staff too few, lazy selfish parents too many..

We came on Saturday for lunch, it was very busy and we were advised there was a wait for food - not an issue for us. We ordered our food and drinks. We were then brought 4 drinks, when we had ordered 5, with only one of the drinks being one we had ordered - although we didnt know this as the waiter said it was a pina colada, and not a virgin mango colada. So we said this isnt our order, must be for another table. Another member of staff then brought the same tray of drinks over, this time saying that the 2 sherbet lemonades were in fact the cooling lemonades we had ordered (we have been before so were aware they were not the correct drinks, as the cooling lemonade has mint and cucumber in, so is easy to distinguish), along with the mango colada, which was now called a virgin pino colada, and an ice tea we never ordered. So again, we assumed this was someone elses order, and said it was not ours. Then an incredibly rude woman with short blonde hair (presumably a manager) comes over, and incredibly condescendingly demands to know what we ordered, while holding our ticket. We ask her what she has on the ticket and she snaps back 'NO, i want to know what YOU ordered' completely indicating that we were in the wrong. We explained what we had ordered, she failed to listen and repeatedly tried to say we ordered 2 cooling lemonades (we ordered 3), and then berated us for not acknowledging that the virgin mango colada was in fact our drink (which we didnt know as both staff had called it a different name!). Eventually after being too preoccupied with making us feel like we were in the wrong, and generally being very patronising and rude, she went back and we then got our order - surprise surprise with only 2 cooling lemonades and not 3. We asked for the 3rd and it was brought to us, but with a lot of uncomfortable glares from this woman for the rest of our meal. We normally love the lounges but from the hostility exhibited by this woman, we will now avoid the Wokingham branch, and go to a different location where customers arent treated like idiotic children by staff with a superiority complex.

Today was particularly busy, with little to no tables, so our group of 5 sat down on a table of 4 and grabbed an extra chair to pop on the end of the table. An incredibly rude, blonde haired woman (I’m assuming one of the managers) then proceeded to get extremely annoyed by this and made us feel very unwelcome. She claimed the chair was blocking a woman behind me (baring in mind the table behind was a table of 2 sat on a table for 6). The woman behind was fine with my chair, but the blonde haired waitress continued to argue with me about it until she tutted and walked off! I don’t think I’ve ever visited anywhere where there’s been such an upset about a chair. Luckily for her we really enjoy the food when we go, otherwise she would have lost our custom. A lesson in customer service needs to be had I think!

Sunday early lunch the restaurant was very busy, serviced at the till you need to order your food and drink there long queue but not much of a wait. Our meal came very quickly it was hot very well cooked and delicious. We went there as a family of 4 adults with 2 small grandsons and would definitely go there again for lunch. The service was excellent and nothing was to much trouble. I have been many many times for coffee but this is the first family meal we have had there. Top Marks

As ever had fabulous breakfast with hubby and so lucky it was open on new years day!Great quick service with smiles despite witnessing a difficult and rude customer while we were being served at the till. Manageress dealt with that customer with professionalism and integrity.We love our local Sedero Lounge and always have a great time whether in our own or with others.We know the rating is only five stars max but we would give it 6 out of 5 stars.Katherine and Richard Henry, Wokingham Residents

The staff are very friendly and welcoming, with treats for the dog, which he thoroughly enjoyed. Varied menu, staff asked if anyone had food allergies which is a nice touch. Will definitely visit again.

I love the fact that you can enjoy any part of the day in these lounges: from breakfast to a candlelit dinner and everything in between.

Visited today with my friend and her twins and my little ones, food was lovely, and staff were so friendly accommodation - One of the waitresses even bought some colouring and jelly beans over to us as my little ones were a little over excited, admittantly. We ordered kids meals and paninis and chips, Food came out quickly even though the place was very busy. All very nice.

I rarely write a review but the way I was treated at Sedaro was so appalling i need to share my feedback. I am a regular customer (at least once a week) and along with other reviews I have always found the staff to be rude in general however they have a nice area with toys for children which is great when you have a young family. I was approached by the Manager Claire in a very aggressive manner at my table when my children where quietly playing in the toy area and told I need to control them. I could understand if they were noisy or running around however they were not. She was extremely aggressive, rude and unprofessional and I am shocked and extremely upset by this behaviour. I have read other reviews of people complaining of the staff having a bad attitude and I agree to a certain extent - there are 1 or 2 staff members who are friendly and professional (which is what you expect as a paying customer) however in general they are rude which stems from the top down. It’s a shame as they have good food, good location and nice layout however unless there is a complete overhaul of management I will take my business elsewhere.

Ate here last night before doing escape room next door with work colleagues. Had chicken, prawn and chi zero jambalaya with drink for £13 which seemed good value. Liked the setting and decor as quite a chilled and pleasant evening.

Upon moving to the area several months ago, I was keen to find an independent resturant that served good food at a reasonable price with good service. I thought that I might have found it with the Sedero Lounge.......... but sadly not. The place has a lot going for it as regards its location, being next to Waitrose and in the centre of Wokingham. It has a very bohemian feel to it, plays decent music, the food is quite good and reasonably priced and as a result is very popular with all sorts of people. Particularly young mothers, who gather there as a meeting place. When this happens it is very noisy with a lot of the mothers letting their toddlers run around unsupervised. I therefore prefer to go in at quieter times for that reason. The problem is with the STAFF.........They need training in how to deal with people and how to LISTEN. They never apologise for keeping you waiting, as you always seem to have to wait, even at the quieter times, and often make you feel ignored.

My husband and I have visited twice this month and have had a great experience both times. The food’s tasty, the staff generally lovely, the atmosphere is buzzing, the decor is quirky and fab, and dogs are welcome too.

Upon our arrival we found a table to seat our group of 7, but needed to clear all the dirty plates onto another table piled high with even more dirty plates and glasses. It was incredibly hot, stuffy and humid, it was stifling, so we asked a staff member if the door could be opened a little to allow some fresh air in, but she insisted that opening the door would make her very ill (it was very mild outside at 17 degrees)

Just great - I have recently hosted two birthday celebrations at Sedero, one on a Friday evening for 10 and one on a Saturday evening for 16. Claire, Adam, Harriet and the team were brilliant. Nothing was too much trouble, the food was excellent and the atmosphere relaxed. Without exception everybody had brilliant nights. If you're looking for somewhere to celebrate I can't recommend Sedero enough.

Asked for filter coffee with the lounge breakfast special but they had run out of filter so we had latte but had to pay the difference My wife had a bacon roll and the bacon was at best luke warm and therefore left half of it With my breakfast the hash browns and the bacon were again luke warm and the toast was just warm bread Needless to day we won’t be risking the food here again

Shockingly rude staff. Talked to people as if they were all stupid as the queue system is not clear ... but seemingly we should all know what to do ... I walked out after a small altercation with the rude woman behind the bar. Sort yourself out and treat customers with some respect.

First time been to this place even though been open over a year. No welcome from any staff into venue. You have to order at the bar anything. Had lounge burger which was nice but coleslaw terrible and poor quality and portion. Fries ok but in a cup small portion and could be served better. Was very busy and seemed short staffed.

Sedero has become a regular haunt for family meals due to the delicious food in a cosy atmosphere. One of the best places to eat and drink in the Wokingham area

I have been to the Sedero Lounge on a number of occasions. The avocado on toast is lovely for breakfast, the lunch/ dinner menu is okay, their alcoholic drinks are great! Would definitely recommend the passion fruit mojito.

Popped into the Sedero lounge on Monday having walked out of a couple of other café/coffee shops due to their lack of vegetarian choices.

I am a regular visitor of Sedero and have always been happy with a selection and quality of food there. Burgers are great, as well as tapas and salads. Love the fact that you don’t wait for your order for ages and always get amazing meal and great service.

Very difficult to find a nice iced coffee in the UK, especially one that is a decent size for the money. First visited the "Lounges" chain in Newport (Wales) and had a great brunch experience there so was excited to try to Wokingham location.

Did not every think I would complain about staff cleaning - but one person serving- three people waiting at bar to be served and two member of staff cleaning the same table. No meet and greet - The manager (I think ) totally focused on laptop -did not seem to be aware of customers coming/going. It was not that busy.

This was my fourth time visiting a Gails bakery. The previous 3 times I had reservations about the bakery but put it down to short staff or a busy period. Today however I have come to the conclusion that Gails is highly overrated. The staff are pretty rude aside from the mediocre and bland food on offer which is overpriced as well. We had the scones and a spinach and feta pastry. The scones were dry, ice cold and flavourless, the spinach and feta pie was bland and greasy. Improvement in flavour, presentation and most importantly taste needs a major overhaul. Happy to pay high prices for high quality products. I will give this place a miss whilst it gets to improving its standards and quality. There are countless of great coffee shops opening up so why not keep up the pace. .

À visiter absolument pour une ambiance typique du pub anglais, plafond bas, cheminée qui ronronne, habitués qui discutent autour d’une pinte. Dans l’assiette de quoi vous réconcilier avec la cuisine anglaise j’y suis allé plusieurs fois ces derniers mois. Je recommande la “terrine d’agneau” qui fut un vrai régal, parfumée à souhait, avec un chutney délicieux à côté. À essayer aussi leur tourte du comment (pie), celle que j’ai goûté était un délice : petite tourte individuelle, une croûte juste parfaite, fine et croustillante et une garniture fondante et goûteuse avec un “gravy” délicieux jus de viande. À goûter aussi un très bon fish and chips et des burgers. Bonne carte des vins, très bon Malbec notamment.

Tiny pub, food was OK when it arrived - expect to wait 45mins plus for dry food, few greens and a big bill
