The Griffin in Reading

Sophie was extremely helpful and cheerful.

Great meal at The Griffin over the weekend. Esra was an excellent waitress and really looked after us during our visit. Thank you!

The food was amazing and Bonnie was amazing 🤩

Una velada realmente encantadora pasó en el Griffin en Caversham pasó con la familia celebrando un cumpleaños. La comida era muy buena, bien presentada y el servicio del personal era el mejor. - esto es gracias a Bonnie👍🏼 Ella tiene el equilibrio perfecto de amabilidad y profesionalidad 👌🏼

Had a lovely meal here. Very well priced food and incredible service from all the staff. Seyna was our waitress and she was very attentive and really good with our little boy. Will definitely be coming back again.

Después de una caminata de cumpleaños muy larga y caliente desde Goring, estábamos encantados de llegar finalmente a The Griffin. Aunque habíamos reservado, elegimos sentarnos en el jardín para disfrutar del día soleado. La lima y el refresco eran refrescantes, y la hamburguesa Signature era súper sabrosa. Gritar a Dan que era paciente mientras todos pagamos por separado y rellenamos nuestras aguas! Muy recomendable!

La cena en The Griffin fue delicioso como hemos llegado a esperar! Lucian era nuestro servidor, y fue genial durante toda la noche.

Had a lovely meal and great service by Daniel . He also reminded us to put our car registration in to the system at the bar .

Lucian was great and friendly 👍

Fuimos a Griffin para el almuerzo del domingo con la familia y tuvimos una tarde encantadora con deliciosa comida. Seyna era nuestra camarera y era tan atento y feliz. Ella nos hizo sentir tan bienvenidos que se sumó a nuestra experiencia. ¡Gracias Seyna! ¡Gracias Griffin! ¡Sigan trabajando!

Celebrated a family birthday with a big group, from the beginning to end thank you to Seyna for top notch service! Even big group like us she was brilliant.

Thanks to Esra for making our family meal so nice and special.

Really quick service and very polite

Esra found us a table when they were basically fully booked. Great service

Dropped into the Griffin on the off chance. Never been before. We were served by Robert, who attended to us well. Food was great, and the bill for the three of us was reasonable and not too expensive.

We were served by Robert who was charming efficient and courteous. Many thanks

Good food and even great service from Lucian.

Bonnie was amazing, service with a smile nothing was to much trouble for this wonderful asset you have. Made us feel very welcome. Food was excellent and very reasonably priced considering its location Will 100% be back Thank you Bonnie x

The food was great, the lamb shank sheperds pie was lovely! Bonnie was so helpful and lovely the best service!!

Came in today for lunch with my Dad we were served by Bonnie who was very attentive and really friendly. Food was excellent and was an all round great experience

The breakfast was a bit disappointing. Scrambled eggs were over cooked and appeared to have been cooked in the microwave, fatty bacon, stale bread and Avocado did not taste good. Service was great and we've eaten here at other times and the food has been much better.

Updating once more, as an ever changing story at The Griffin, mostly down to food experience. Firstly, the staff are always great. Just eaten, and James (head like a sieve, hopefully I remembered name), was really polite and efficient. Nb I have felt sorry for Chef & Brewer staff taking vouchers, but pleased the QR codes now work. The food can vary. Duo of Chicken was a little dry, as needed more sauce/bigger portion of kimchi. Madam likes gravy, had to order two extra pots for Bourguignon, as quite small. Fish and chips had nice batter. It is a lovely pub with a nice atmosphere. Decor gives a 'local pub feel'. The outside area is really pleasant in the sun, but is ALL SMOKING despite the small signs saying otherwise. This could be upsetting if you don't smoke and want to eat outside.

The food standard at the Griffin has improved since Christmas and today we enjoyed pork roast and 3 meat roast thoroughly. The only downside is that the ceilings are low so was a bit noisy but pleased to see it busy. Great value

Food and atmosphere is always great and service by James today was wonderful!

Lovely pub, food is great. We were served by James today who really looked after us. Staff are always welcoming and amazing.

The food and service was impeccable. It's a must go to for anyone. It had a lovely atmosphere and kind and friendly people I will definitely want to come again . Served by bonnie....lovely lady🤣🤣 unfortunately I didn't take any photos of the meal as it was down the hatch before I was able to 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 great great place

Lucian was an incredible waiter. Very fast, kind and made sure we felt super comfortable and welcome. If you get Lucian as your waiter, you’ll be well looked after!

First time visiting the griffin, about 5 minutes in myself and my boyfriend said how lovely the waiter was and how great his customer service was! Served quickly, Food came quickly, drinks came quickly and it was a busy evening! Lucian was brilliant, experience certainly enhanced by his service tonight. Thank you lucian!

Sophie is amazing..Best bar staff

Very good food and service!!! Really enjoyed my time at the Griffin. Will definitely go again. Served by Esra. She is a lovely lady and was very sweet to me.Thank you Esra for your lovely service.

Great meal, was served by Esra who was very attentive and very kind. Saw her being treated very rudely by some other customers. They shouted at her but she kept calm, very professional. I hope she is alright. Thank you Esra.

Very nice meal. Friendly service. Served by Megan thank you.

Great pub with lovely outside area viewing the river.

Well stored and poured ales. Great service to children.

My son booked The Griffin for Mother’s Day, he had been before and said the roast looked good. We were looked after well by our server Robert and our food did not disappoint, lovely atmosphere. Will definitely visit again.

Great service from Lucian and the rest of the staff, as always. Along with good value and good food and an excellent atmosphere. Couldn't wish for a better 'local'.

As well as the food being absolutely delicious. Bonnie (my server) was very friendly with great customer service. She stuck by us the whole time, and was there (as well as helping others) when needed.

Great food and service by Seyna

Really great atmosphere and time for the Sunday roast. Great variety of delicious plates and roasts. Beef rib is my favorite now on. Very warm and friendly host Lucian. Strongly recommend!

Had a lovely Sunday evening meal .. great food .. served by Megan who was very friendly with excellent customer service

We had a wonderful dinner with a fantastic atmosphere, and Bonnie, who served us, was an absolute star. Will definitely come back again

They need to sort their automated answering phone not fit for purpose

I recently attended a funeral wake hosted by the Griffin and was so impressed with the service and food. Nothing was too much trouble and the food was absolutely delicious and the portions were of really generous sizes. Every member of staff was polite and professional, they obviously love their jobs which comes across. Special mention and thanks to Lucian who ensured we had everything we needed from start to finish. Superb service which made a difficult and sad day that little bit easier. Thanks again.

Very helpful staff. Friendly atmosphere. Good food and comfortable environment.

Lovely Sunday roast with the family. Food is always delicious and service was top tier. Thank you to Lucian for looking after us and providing awesome service!

An emotional family meal following the death of Spud. Husband, father, grandad and local to The Griffin. Our meals were lovely and Bonnie was a brilliant host. Kind, compassionate and provided us with top notch service. Thank you so much. ❤️

Lucian was an absolutely fantastic waiter for my long overdue catch up with friends. The food, atmosphere and drinks were excellent.

My friend and I come to this restaurant every few weeks for a catch-up, and Megan is a big reason we keep coming back. She’s absolutely fantastic—always friendly, attentive, and nothing is ever too much trouble for her. She even remembers the little details about what we like, the wine and cheese!! Megan truly goes above and beyond, and her warm, welcoming attitude makes the dining experience even better. We can’t recommend her enough!

Had some chips and a drink and sat outside in the sunshine. Could see the ducks on the Thames across the car park, very nice

Had a really nice meal. Family occasion. Seyna our waitress was really engaging. 18 of us but food served in good time , hot and very tasty Enjoyed our visit and will come again

We have eaten lunch here several times now and always a good experience, especially the friendly and efficient service (last time from Esra). Tasty food, menu has plenty of choice depending on how hungry you’re feeling and includes vegan and vegetarian, tables aren’t too crowded. Babies are welcome, and dogs in some areas. Toilets are clean at this time of day. The staff are lovely.

It was lovely there. The atmosphere and service just amazing and Seyna was really nice and friendly. We loved all of that.

We went with a group of 18 for a family party. Seyna was a brilliant host (as usual!) and we all had a great time. Food was excellent and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful. Would certainly recommend.

I had an amazing experience with Lucian! His service was prompt, professional, and personalized. He truly went above and beyond to meet my needs and ensure my satisfaction. Highly recommend his services!

It’s our first time at Graffin had a Sunday roast, food was delicious!! Serving was brilliant, Esra was amazing who look after us.

Great food & Great service from Bonnie

We had the pleasure of celebrating my birthday at The Griffin in Caversham, and I can honestly say it was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The food was exceptional—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and cooked to perfection. Every dish we ordered exceeded expectations, from the starters to the desserts, making it a truly memorable meal. A special mention must go to Seyna, who was an absolute star. She was incredibly attentive, friendly, and helpful throughout the evening, making sure we had everything we needed without ever being intrusive. Her warm and welcoming nature added to the wonderful atmosphere, and she truly made our evening even more special. Seyna is a credit to the team, and we will absolutely be returning—not just for the great food but also to see her again! Thank you to The Griffin for a fantastic evening. We can’t wait to come back soon! Steve and Nikki

Really nice pub, top notch food & service by Seyna is amazing. Great atmosphere, very attentive certainly will return

This was the last place my father dined at before he died, food ok but along with dealing with his affairs and funeral we have to contend with a hefty parking fine for the time spent dining in the restaurant! appalling :( We have a bank statement showing he spent £65 there

Been here a couple of times now and food is always delicious! Definitely recommend their roast dinners! Both times I’ve been served by Seyna who has been absolutely wonderful and looked after us well

Food was lovely and service by Lucian was fantastic. Looking forward to coming back

Had a very nice meal here on a Friday evening. Fish pie special was tasty. Great service from our waitress, Esra. The only negative was we found one of the barmen a bit rude/curt when enquiring about a drink we were waiting for.

Just celebrated my birthday with my family for dinner, I had a great evening and we all thoroughly enjoyed the food and drinks and atmosphere. Staff are friendly, service is efficient and overall good value for money. Thank you for making my birthday treat so enjoyable.

Took my Mum for birthday lunch, great food and very friendly service at a reasonable price.

Been here twice now and food has always been delicious. Once in the evening and the 2nd time for Sunday lunch. The staff are amazing, always friendly and helpful. Special thanks to the ladies who looked after us each time Bonnie and Seyna.

Always brilliant service and great food. Its our favorite.

Came in for a girly catch up lunch. Looked after by the wonderful Lucian. Food was delicious and really good price. Thank you!

Great all round pub ... where we enjoy a pint after our Underwater Hockey Sessions

Megan was absolutely fantastic! The food was delightful and we absolutely love the ambiance

Great roast as always, mushroom wellington is a great veggie option, many thanks to Senya for great service.

We visited this nice and cosy pub to meet couple of friends. We came all the way from London. Despite its nice place but food was cold and also the portions were not enough. Moreover, not value for money.

Food was beautiful,staff were really friendly and attentive. Seyna was our waitress and she was brilliant. Would definitely visit again
