The Crown on the Bridge in Reading - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This is a great place to come with friends for a couple drinks and some tasty food! Great service and good prices too. Can’t wait to come again soon, Thank you guys!

Great pub, great food. Especially the wing Wednesday! It had become my regular lunch spot! Couldn’t recommend this place enough, the staff are always helpful and friendly.

This is an odd pub, the staff are surly and bordering on unhelpful, there is little joy engaging with them, it is almost like they would rather be elsewhere. The team is belligerent, it feels like there is a case of 'Computer says No' The Website is inaccurate and the team don't seem to care, it states that food is available 12-9pm - this isn't the case, I tried to order at 8.34pm to to be told that the kitchen closed at 8.30pm I queried that the website said 12-9pm - I was told by the staff that they weren't responsible for what it says on their website (who is then?) I asked to speak to the manager to be told, he couldn't speak to me as he was cooking in the kitchen, I asked if he could squeeze one more order in, I was told categorically 'NO'. I went back to the pub later in the evening to see friends of the bar team eating burgers at approx 11pm at night. I am stunned at the poor customer service and abject disregard for customers, one of my party said they had had the same experience on at least two occasions around food at this pub. A really poor interaction.

Went for Wings Wednesday. Drove an hour to get there with my son for a treat, arrived at 12:45. All excited as they are great wings, 40,wings please, hang on will just speak to chef, sorry kitchen not open for another couple of hours. What a shambles.

Popped in to watch some footy! Spoilt for choice with 3 screens all showing different games. Great selection of draught to choose from and the guys behind the bar were very friendly and efficient. Many thanks Hannah and Rish.

Nice quirky pub with friendly staff and clean and tidy inside. Tables cleared quickly and service is fast too. Let’s itself down by allowing people to openly vape indoors.

This pub is great and the atmosphere is really nice! Staff is friendly, the place is very relaxed and cosy.

The atmosphere at the The Crown was great, perfect for drinks with the girls!! Would definitely recommend!

Such a lovely pub, nicely decorated for Christmas! Great atmosphere and good choice of beer - we always have a good time here

A few friends and I went to The Crown 'just' for a few drinks but ended up having food as well. The atmosphere was perfect and it was a great place to be, nothing was too much for them and the hospitality provided by the team was second to none. There are stunning views of the Thames as well. I would like to say a BIG thank Ethan and the team for making us feel very welcome and we shall visit again in the near future.

Great Atmosphere, massively underrated pub, would recommend to anyone passing through caversham. 10/10 experience

Had a lovely day staff looked after us really well thanks to the staff today lovely beerwell looked after

Great new menu burgers are the best staff where all really helpful also great for sport at the weekend with football and rugby

The Crown Pub offers a dynamic experience, seamlessly blending live sports excitement with culinary excellence. Multiple large screens cater to sports enthusiasts, creating a lively atmosphere. The menu, curated with flair, boasts a range of dishes from classic pub favourites to inventive creations. A favourite of mine is the Bollywood burger which is not a vegetarian afterthought but a showstopper in its own right. The staff’s food and drink pairings are spot-on, showcasing their in-depth knowledge. I recommend the Bollywood Burger with a Wild Child cocktail! In essence, The Crown Pub delivers a winning combination of sports entertainment and gastronomic delights, making it a standout destination for a memorable evening. Cheers to The Crown for hitting the mark on both fronts!

Great venue in the area, staff are very helpful and on the ball. Pub has some amazing karaoke on a Saturday

Great selection of drinks and food to watch the sport. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable to make great drink suggestions

Came here for karaoke few weeks back, great atmosphere, fantastic cocktails and food was excellent, we both have a great time and will be back again very soon.

Really good venue for a nice drink. Came here with a friend and was amazed by the managers service and knowledge. Ethan went above and beyond for us to enjoy our time. Playing pool he offered table service. I would highly recommend the crown to anyone in the Reading or caversham area. It’s a great little pub to stop by and have a drink and watch the sports!

Exactly as described; decent food while watching live sport, with well kept beer. Staff were friendly and attentive. Nice atmosphere.

Great new menu burgers are the best staff where all really helpful also great for sport at the weekend with football and rugby

Drinks order incorrect , and very over priced. Food portion extremely small and poor quality . No children menus. Poor value for money and quality. Will not be visiting again .

I went to the pub specifically to watch the England v Argentina match. Having been told it was a good place to watch sport. However upon arrival on one of the hottest days of the year the single outside screen showing the match had no...

Visit for dinner after passing the previous evening and thinking it worth a visit. We ordered two pizzas and two pints on their menu offer which was very good value for money. The pizzas did not arrive together which was a little bit of a...

lovely friendly staff, we will be back again! 2 for 1 cocktails all day everyday, cannot go wrong. had a great time with the girls!

Great spot for a bit of lunch and a few drinks. Staff friendly, burgers and pizza did the trick! and the beer and gin selection is second to none in Caversham. Quickly becoming a regular haunt.

Great service friendly staff incredible food lovely place to be in, seated very fast and overall just great

Had a great meal with my friends earlier this month, the food was amazing so was the atmosphere. our server was very polite and funny as well!

Great atmosphere in this pub! Watched the first England game of the World Cup; plenty of seating and multiple screens to watch. The food was the highlight of the visit; I had the bbq bacon burger and it was bloody delicious! In the top 5...

We booked a table for 14 for food and drink as a memorial get together for my dad. The service was unpleasant. We were told in arrival we could not order food (which was the whole reason we were there!) I believe the kitchen was...

We have been in this pub on Saturday and Sunday and tonight the girl behind the bar is the most rude person we have ever met Saturday and Sunday she was shouting at the staff and being rude to some of the customers and always...

Always love coming here with my family, whether it’s with the younger ones for a meal or a drink with the adults. Lovely vibe and always have a good time. Special mention for Josh, as he always greets us with the same enthusiasm as always...

Good location. Served by Josh, who seemed great. Enjoyed the beer garden, lovely for a hot day. Would come again.

One star solely for the male bar tender with the coloured hair who served me. I might as well have been a cardboard cut out, no smile, no hello, no thank you !! He clearly is not happy and should get his jacket and go...

Lovely pub great friendly bar staff, Good selection of lager and craft beers if your into that. Could do with a new chef though.

Visited this pub with friends last week. Sat outside in one of the heated huts. Great atmosphere and friendly team members. Will definitely go back.

Fantastic being able to book a table to watch the Six Nations. All Staff team helpful and welcoming. Spent 8 hours in the pub and can throughly recommend the vegetarian jack fruit pizza. Great atmosphere.

Great little local pub .Good food and drinks highly recommended 👌 When we visit sport was on there was good atmosphere..would visit again

Great drinks, helpful staff and clean facilities. Didn’t get chance to try to food but the menu looked sensibly priced.

The best pub in Caversham Family and dog friendly. Missed it during pandemic as it my favourite place to get nice food, pint and watch football. Great staff behind the bar and lovely landlady. I'm glad that we can go back. Will see you guys...

Fantastic pub with great food & a brilliant atmosphere. Nice outside area which is perfect for those warmer days. Special shout out to Chloe, best barmaid I’ve ever had the pleasure of being served by. Will definitely return.

Our favourite pub finally reopened Excellent customer service,food was absolutely great we loved the new offers 10/10

A fun evening- friendly staff - decent food - there was nothing to dislike about the place to be honest. Looked like they show the sports- and do try the hot wings!

We had dinner yesterday there , food was great, different choices , we enjoyed our pints Thanks to all stuff

Great service, great atmosphere, great food, great beer, great management .... see where I'm going with this 😊 Also a great location, give it a go if you haven't already. Recommended

First night in reading went to the crown Caversham part of reading I believe good food good beer my wife said not much choice on wine manager was brilliant barman was very good liked your one liners the other girl was a bit strange wife...

I was disappointed with this place today following an earlier visit, and it was sadly down to one rude member of staff. I came in for a few drinks, and was carrying a rucksack, some shopping bags, and some flattened cardboard boxes that I’d collected...

Came here to watch the football with a pint and some food. Burger and a beer for ten pounds. Cant go wrong

The Crown is excellent, especially since it was done up. Nice management, a heated garden. What’s not to like? Food is good to and reasonably priced. They have Sky Sports too, so it’s a great hangout spot for big finals (these make for very social...

We had a wake at the Crown, and in many ways it was a difficult time. However, Paulina and her team took great care of all 25 of us, with good food and drink and sympathetic, smooth service. It's clearly a well run pub and...

Once again claims of being open till midnight are untrue with time being called at 2317! There opening times are a joke don’t believe them

Came in for food after hearing rave reviews about the sosig menu. I was not disappointed, I had the ‘bulldog’ and it had perfect sosig to bun ratio. Amstel also tasted great I would recommend this place to everyone.

The pub itself is great. However never trust the opening/closing times, for example they tell you midnight on a weekend yet you cannot purchase a drink after 2320. If they published accurate times it would be a great pub, food is good, beer is ok

Service and food was excellent. Vast selection of gins and real ales as well as local produce also which is great.

Honestly the best pub burger in berkshire 👌🏻 Expecting to see Tara on master chef in the next few years

The food was good. But no chicken, no mayo, no vinegar and no ink in the receipt machine. Unsure what else they didn’t have but it seems they were short on the basics. As there was no ink in the receipt machine the first response...

We came in to play pool, we were welcomed at the bar. I saw they had the ROI League Nations game advertised and asked if no-one wanted to watch that game if it would be all right to put Germany Vs Netherlands on. What I...

Much needed sustenance on a hot summer's day Serving Doombar and London Pride - both kept well But they had run out of most other things (food & drink) as Festival just finished Food served particularly average

Where to start. This has to be the worse Burger in the worse bun in the whole of the UK. ( Unless you know better) Paulina Kowalczyk General Manager The Crown you need to step up to the mark and sort out your expensive vile...

The food in the crown used to be really awesome, and we were regulars for the delicious hotdogs. But Something has happened, and now the food is a massive disappointment. Stale hot dog bun, searching for the actual sausage. More expensive. Sad small burger with...

Just had a beer in here. They do serve food but on this occassion we did not eat here. Service was ok.

Very good pub and very close to Caversham center. Try the £10 burger and beer, awesome for a dinner.

Watched the England game here last night. Good location, decent beer selection and a good atmosphere.

Visited Saturday. Was nice and sunny so got to sit in the beer garden. Good selection of beer. Good price too compared to other nearby pubs.

Reliably great food and service. Gorgeous garden in the summer, too! A must try for the Reading area.

We went there in the afternoon having beenn to a friend's funeral well looked after and excellent bar staff. 16 of us left there at 6.30 so we asked if they could cater for us with an evening meal. This was no problem and they...

We organised our Christmas Party at the Crown and despite being a frequent visitor especially since the refurbishment I was even more impressed with how well they organised things for our party of about 60. The service from Andy and his team was brilliant and...

Visited here in December for the first time since the refurbishment. Loved the atmosphere and has a good range of drinks. Would recommend.
