The Bell and Bottle in Wokingham

Great place to meet friends and family. Great Staff. Nice outdoor sitting 👌

Popped into see an old friend for drinks. Lovely friendly village pub

Good honest local independent pub serving the local community and real ale lovers from afar - and home of The Kennet Morris Men. And our favourite barmaid has returned for our Monday visit.

Great local pub, friendly landlord. Shows football, has two pool tables and dart boards. Also a nice beer garden at the back.

Nice pub with some good beers and most importantly sky sports!

Follow Mr & Mrs R on TikTok. Very busy pub for Sunday. Very much a locals pub and sports bar and long may it remain giving the local community what they need in these uncertain times. A place to be happy and make friends.

Only had drinks, bartender was a top lad, decent pint of Guinness, nice little garden. Quiet inside but outside gets busy around the school rush (carpark full of parents) but not the pubs fault so no negative marks. I've been told the food is banging (Thai cuisine)

Love this place popped in after having a meal at a very expensive restaurant just down the road from here! First time coming. Due to our earlier restaurant we were therefore quite dressed up when we arrived! Relaxed super friendly atmosphere they even have a pool table.- which we loved. We don’t live around here but if we did we would be regulars!

I felt discriminated as a ethnic minority. Made my partner feel very unwelcome and uncomfortable.

Great local pub to shinfield, very welcoming. The crowd is jokes and serve a good pint. Recommended- ohhh they now do awesome thai food

Not a great beer garden but surprisingly large inside. A decent range of beer and not bad for watching the football. I would be tempted to drop in for food at some time.

Friendly old fashioned pub. Very well kept beer.

Nice pub. Pop in there at lunchtime for a cider while working in the area.

Tasty Thai food at reasonable price. Must try the Tom Yum Goong soup!!Best ever!

Great service with a smile, will definitely come again the welcome was great. Went out of there way to please and can’t wait to come again.

The staff were very friendly and the roast was amazing

The Thai food here is incredible. Also a proper pub really popular with the locals and it shows. Not enough places like this around anymore. Great.

All food are very yummy even Thai or local food without any complaints. Easy to get there and more than 10 numbers parking space for the customers.

Ok place to go if you don't mind the locals making you feel unwelcome. Couldn't stay more than an hour because we felt like we were being watched and not in a nice way

Awful stay away overpriced rubbish Service is shocking Literally felt robbed after paying the bill a pub chain microwave meal would have been better utter rubbish

Haven't eaten there but its a clean, friendly pub with pool table, loads of board games, football on TV, and occasional live music and competition evenings. Keeps changing management, some better than others, and with it whether or not it serves food and provides entertainments.

This is a great place to eat and drink. The staff are friendly and helpful

Good local pub with lovely beers

Cosy local with real fire, plus games area with 2 pool tables and darts

Great local pub. Good range of ales ever changing

Great family pub with pool tables 👍

Lovely village pub with a regular selection of ales. Plenty to choose from after a nice walk.

Clean and tidy pub. Good size friendly staff.

Lovely staff and a lovely atmosphere

It wasnt what I would class as a villiage pub

Great pub with great service and staff

We went to this pub and were their over an hour we ordered a round of drink s and popped to Lower Earley to collect our daughter and left the rest of the group waiting for the drinks we were only 15mins the very young surver was grumpy from when we first arrived it took over 45mins to get a round of drinks when asked about it the surver got rude and defensive and we were asked to leave I truly believe this young girl is in the wrong job our family have run pubs and hotels for years this is not how staff should behave

I was only sat in my car waiting to pick my husband up .so I cant really rate the place .husband said the food was ok but he only had chips!

Love this pub and the welcoming staff including Daisy the Jack Russel

Excellent beer and good atmosphere despite full Covid safety measures

I felt very safe every thing in place

Cozy pub for quick catch up. Friendly people and good service.

Basta de charla Sin comida Coca Cola en los baños La policía ha reservado una redada en Gestión de preguntas Gerente inútil Vacío Sucio

Great village local pub with a good selection of beers and ales. Track and trace and temperatures taken upon arrival and table service to keep everyone socially distanced.

Locals pub, set up for pub sports, but friendly staff and well kept ale

Used to be my local 14yrs ago before moving.It says something about the pub that I still pop in occasionally when passing by.There have been a few managers over the years but it is always friendly and has a few real ales(which change regularly)Definitely has that local feel which I miss where I have moved.

Friday evening very busy but staff coping well. Good selection of beers with real ales. Good old fashioned local pub that for once it seems locals use it instead of sitting empty. No complaints

Good beer, affordable prices, nice atmosphere

Is what it is. A proper boozer. Pool table, darts board, big screen showing sports and a garden. Lager is reasonably priced and the bar lady serving me was cheerful and helpful. Nice little garden at the back.

Buena risa y personal amable, chimeneas con mesas de billar y una máquina de discos. Mucho espacio al aire libre y un pub amigable con vape

Lovely simple pub, friendly and great quality real ales from smaller breweries.

Great new land lady, nice welcoming pub good food well priced. Really nice place to have a drink

Nice pub with a good atmosphere.

Good cheap beers in a nice local setting!

Great pub with friendly staff and sky tv

No food during week. Proper locals pub. 2 pool tables. Darts. Good sports channels on TV.

Getting a food menu was like pulling teeth. Cocktails took ages to come . Poor service apart from one waitress, disappointing food and overpriced

My 16 year old has to leave at 8pm. Poor really.

Nice and cosy village pub , very good for a casual pint after a long day.... Front and rear gardens, very good choice of beers and ales

Don’t go here for a warm welcome. Was ok until the new landlords arrived. Go home by 8 or we will make you.

What have you done jem. Place dead at half ten. I see a pattern emerging

Not a nice pub. Never seen so many TVs in one place! Loud, echoey, lino floors, hard chairs and kitchen tables. OK if you're into bare and spartan easy-wipe basic sports TV-orientated facilities, but not conducive to a pleasant evening chatting and enjoying the company of friends. Each to their own, I suppose.

Nice family pub, good pool table and friendly garden

Friendly staff and customers. Nice place.

This is very much a locals pub, good real-ales, open fire. Food is quite good to. On the down side, it's full of gambling machines and pet dogs.

Good gin selection, beer well kept.

Avoid at all cost. If I could give zero stars I would. Paid £17.70 for 3 small Cokes with ice and 2 small Lemonades with ice and a slice. Couldn't care less attitude of both and the Landlord and the Owner of the Bell & Bottle says it all. Only interested in ripping customers off.

If I could give Zero or a minus I would It is one of the worst pubs I have visited, The alcohol is watered down to the extent that you are being charged for alcohol, but all you are getting is the soft drink. It won't matter whether you order Vodka and Lemonade, Malibu and Coke, JD and Coke or Disaronno and Coke. If you order Disaronno on it's own it's still watered down. Total rip off. Avoid this pub at all cost and save your hard earned money and spent it somewhere else. That's the best advise I can give. I will never waste my money here again.

Best pub in Shinfield, excellent service.

Homely pub with pool tables, fire place and good selection of local ales

Good pub, casual atmosphere. A proper local, with a surprising amount of space.

Recently under new management, I understand, when I visited in August 2018, so still a work in progress at the time, I think. However it was friendly, with good (if a little expensive) beer. Games room at the rear seemed quite popular. On fine days you can sit out the front and look at the village green. Dog friendly, with a jar of doggy treats on the bar to keep your canine companion happy.

Nice garden, lots of games, huge variety of beers, great staff.

A real pub, with real ale where real people who live or work locally meet. Welcoming to morris dancers and other entertaining groups, dogs children and ...cars (large pub car park and a public one across the road). I visit it very frequently.

Excellent Pub, ordered a pint of East Coast IPA, won another pint on the scratch card that came with the first one! Friendly staff, pub grub (not quite gastro), but good value. And as long as you are well behaved, they'll even let you in if you don't have a dog with you.

Enjoying our drinks on this Thursday afternoon ( 16:15 ) Got very busy ( probably a birthday party ) Staff are good

Always a great time at the Bell & Bottle

Good menu and beers. Reasonably priced. Friendly and welcoming but can get crowded.

New management, very much improved great atmosphere good food, So this is are 3rd visit to the bell and bottle, 2nd under new management, we came to try the Sunday lunch as we had been to London the night before so couldn't be bothered to cook at home, first thing to say is the place has changed alot since our last visit, all the tables and chairs have been replaced with new tables and chairs, new bar stools just this alone has dramatically improved the atmosphere. It is also evident that there is gradual work taking place in the garden to make it a more inviting area, regarding the food, I had beef roast and my partner had ½ roast chicken, I have to say the food was very tasty and we will definitely come back again 😀.

Under new management. Very good

A great improvement over the last time I came here a year ago. Friendly bar staff, an open fire and a very clean and tidy local pub with a local buzz without feeling too cliquey. Good range of well kept real ale as well as the usuals. Dog friendly too!

Decided to give this pub a second visit as I heard that it has new management since our last visit, even just by walking in you could instantly feel the difference in the atmosphere, the new management and staff are complete opposite from the previous, very friendly, and prompt with service. The beer was good and overall a great improvement, will definitely be visiting again.

Nice cosy pub good garden real fire

A local pub bigger than it looks. Good beer selection. Didn't try the food but may do next time. The open fire was welcome

Mark and Chrissie keep a very fine real pub with excellent ever changing ales, happy locals and wholesome grub. You'll always be welome.

Rude staff and lacking any atmosphere other than extremely bright, white and clinical. Beer tasted bad, from the outside looks like a nice village pub, when you walk in you soon regret it

Very friendly bar staff, cracking cold pint and the food was nice and very reasonably priced.

Gammon steak and eggs was burnt

A friendly family pub. We didn't eat here but we had some drinks and they were very nice. Staff were friendly to strangers as well as local regulars and this is the sort of pub that has a loyal regular group.

Love the Sunday dinner, All there food goes down really well with the choice of beers they do. I was a wine drinker now a changed lady

Visited while Ale Trailing on a quiet tuesday evening...spacious pub with decent ale (nice couple of pints of Sheep Dip) and friendly staff

Proper local pub with friendly hosts/staff and customers. Good food, real beers, and sky sports for those interested

OK establishment landlord bit rude re children overstaying past 9pm at family party Drinks overpriced small tin coke nearly a Pound

Best range of ales in Reading. A campaigner for real ale.

Had a lunch and beer here, food was enjoyed and friendly staff. Would only not recommend the burger, very disapointing; bland and dry. They have darts and pool as well as TV's with sports. Exceptionally well priced given the quality and portion sizes we experienced.

Mark & Chrissy lovely people.The real ale always great. Good Old English pub. Food great. Little kev chef.

Friendly pub with a large car park, a good garden and excellent beer.

Amable y servicial bienvenido desde el encargado, buena selección de 4 mano sacó de tonel, sabrosa comida de pub a un precio razonable (yo tenía el pescado y las patatas fritas, que era muy bueno).

Lovely couple running the pub. Quite often have great live music. Excellent selection of local ales!!

The atmosphere is out of this world. The land lord and lady made us feel extremely welcome. I only wish it was closer to me, then I would always be in there. One visit is NOT enough, you will want to keep going back again, and again :)

Went in as was told real ale was really good what a joke had two different ales first tasted like...

I can hardly can this a "Gastro pub". It's a smelly old place with quite constant audience of locals.

Visitamos 22 2015 Julio. Me encuentro con un amigo para una comida y una bebida. Llamamos a La Campana y botella y comprobado que hicieron comida por las noches. Se confirmó que sí, pero sólo hasta las 9 pm.

In one sentence: people seem to have fun there BUT when you aimed to come for eating even the bar keeper seems surprised ...
