Lovely food, brilliant atmosphere, staff very accommodating when we realised we were going to be late for our reservation. Lucian was our waiter for the evening, excellent service. We will come again!

Griffin is a beautiful pub with a decent car park and good food. It is really a very nice place to enjoy your time with friends. Big thanks to Esra for her welcoming and friendly service today. Highly recommended.

We had a delicious roast lunch and excellent service from Seyna. She was attentive and responsive and the meal was well cooked and presented.

Delicious food and exceptional service with a friendly & smile face from Esra👌🏻 Pub has great athmosphere🌟 it was sucu a lovely day

Super service by Bonnie. Thank you

Came for a quick afterwork dinner, food was delicious. Great service by Seyna!

We were served by Seyna who was extremely friendly and very attentative. She made us feel special. We had a thoroughly enjoyable meal. Seyna is a real asset to The Griffin.

Brilliant Sunday Roast. Thanks to Seyna for great service.

What use is a dog friendly area with high tables and stools so tall that you can't reach down to keep your dog in control.... so ridiculous

Lovely pub with lovely grub!! We had the mushroom Wellington roast and apple pie for dessert (both vegan and both delicious!!). Seyna served us and was so friendly and helpful. She ensured that our 9 month old baby had some nice soft veggie options. Thank you!!

Great service from Esra! Lovely place and good food!

A very friendly Caversham pub, near the river. And you can take your dog! There is a special section where dog owners and their pets can sit, as well as outside at the back. Lots of water bowls for thirsty canines and free dog biscuits! And the food for humans is good, too. It's a great spot if you have a dog (whatever it's name).

Just one night in the area and found the Griffin, great food and fantastic service highly recommended , great choice of beers to top it off

Great Sunday roast today at the Griffin. Seyna looked after us, will be coming back again soon.

Delicious English cuisine, large portions, pleasant atmosphere. Excellent service, the waitress Seyna is very nice and friendly. I recommend it to everyone for a pleasant, quiet evening! 😊

Best place in Reading for Sunday lunch. Great service by the friendliest team, as always, especially Seyna today! Arfon, the manager, works really hard 😊

Very nice service, Bonnie was great! Good food, great atmosphere.

We had a lovely meal at The Griffin this evening. Lucian was great and really attentive. Couldn’t ask for better service!

Best place in Reading, food always great and great service!Our server Lucian was top!!! Well done

Lovely pub garden with heaters and the bar staff were very friendly

The classic stake and ale pie was fantastic. Lovely and crisp pastry but perfectly moist with the gravy. Lucian was very friendly and helpful throughout our meal

Food was great at the Griffin! Our server Lucian gave really great service. Very attentive, friendly and knowledgeable about the menu. Thanks Lucian.

Food and service was great, we were served by Bonnie , she was very attentive towards my father in law she also got him a cushion. Bonnie was very polite and very helpful.

Amazing Sunday roast and very good location, kindly served by Seyna

Went to the Griffin Saturday night and had a lovely evening which was made by the fantastic service Bonnie gave us she was so helpful and kind and made the evening very comfortable for us. Thank you Bonnie.

The best fish and chips I ate.also sunday roast very yummy.

The griffin is one of our local pubs and a real favourite of ours. Food is always great and the staff are amazing. Dan has a friendly welcome, is attentive, and always remembers our favourite drinks (which we really appreciate). Highly recommend visiting

Today we had an excellent Sunday Lunch at the Griffin. The food and service were excellent and the staff friendly. There was 7 of us and 2 dogs and we were able to sit in a bar area that allowed dogs. Good value for money and although very busy we were well looked after. Thank you Griffin

Lovely location for some food and a walk by the River Thames - special thanks to Lucian & Donna for their attentive service and polite demeanour. Would deffo recommend!!

Lucian was amazing and was really helpful. So was Donna

The food was good, the waitress was lovely (Megan♡).

Very nice experience! Our waiter Seyna was very friendly!

Delicious food and great atmosphere! From starters to desserts everything is marvellous and a reasonable price! Thank you Lucian for taking care of our table

Lovely pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Seyna was an amazing host , looked after us very well. We had a great birthday party. Thank you Griffin! We will definitely be back soon.

Esra provided exceptional service, making our night truly memorable. We enjoyed every moment, and her attentiveness and warm demeanor added to the experience. The signature cheeseburger was absolutely delicious, easily the best we've ever had. We couldn’t have asked for a better evening! 👍

Our waiter Lucian was amazing!! Really accommodating and made it a lovely experience, would definitely recommend!!!!

The place is lovely, I had the Barber’s Smothered chicken and it was delicious! The highlight was Lucian, he is very friendly, polite and attentive with all customers. I definitely recommend The Griffin!

I had a signature burger which was juicy and tasty. Many pints of 🍺 was served good and who looked after us was friendly. Thank you so much Esra 🙏

Food was beautiful as ever, I had the steak which is a good shout. Megan’s service was fantastic, always very happy and prompt to get anything I need. She is an absolutely fantastic waitress and brings a lovely energy to the pub. So thank you very much Megan! From Shaquille

We popped in here for a late lunch and immediately found both the bar and the restaurant very inviting. The food was very nice but the real highlight was the excellent service provided by Lucian in the restaurant. He was very attentive, friendly and provided impeccable service. Unfortunately we didn’t have any cash with us so couldn’t pay a tip directly. We did ask for service to be included on the bill (but were disappointed to hear this was going to be taxed and spread across multiple employees. We will definitely be visiting the Griffin again - next time with some cash! - and hope to be served by the outstanding Lucian again.

Another great evening meal at The Griffin. Fabulous service by Esra, delicious food and warm welcoming atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Lovely food and Seyna was very helpful and really looked after us eat out often so would really recommend a visit here !

Another excellent evening at the Griffin in Caversham, thanks Lucian for brilliant service.

A perfect evening of good food and lovely service. Bonnie was incredibly attentive and took great care of us. The food and drinks were served quickly, and all staff that we spoke to were kind and smiley. Bonnie even thought of asking if my brother wanted more gravy with his pie when she checked in with us! I would recommend booking, which we did, it was very easy to do and secured a quiet table for us. They accounted for my grandmother needing an easily accessible table too which I was grateful for. Thank you The Griffin, we will definitely be coming back!

Came here with mates after work, this place is a hidden gem, great food, great service. Shout out to Lucian for serving us, thank you!

Lucian provided a great service ! A true gentleman

Sunday roast, had to send it back because it wasn't hot.

Amazing Sunday roast, great value. Deffo coming back to again.

Lovely food and really great service! Our server Seyna was lovely and friendly, would defiantly recommend

We were served by lovely Lucian today. Super busy but he made sure we were well looked after. Great food, especially the roasts. Thanks for having us!

Sunday lunch was delirious! We were served by Seyna who was great!

We came in for the Sunday roast (roast pork and mushroom wellington), was an good portion, loved the wellington and good value for money but the sides weren't to the same standard, oiley and unappetising. Had mostly standard beers, but I enjoyed the local ale from renegade brewery. Inside is rustic and quaint like you'd expect for pub and Seyna and the other chap who brought us the food were lovely and attentive

Great place excellent food, beer and atmosphere we arrived about 5pm parked easily, logged in our car found a seat and enjoyed our evening. Thank you

Really lovely pub with fabulous food and friendly staff. Had the vegan Wellington and a bramley apple pie for dessert for coconut ice cream. My friend had the vegan bakewell tart and it looked just as good as mine so will be having that next time. Highly recommend and there's parking behind the pub, should you be driving.

Cosy, relaxed atmosphere. Good menu and when the desired dish was no longer available our waiter Lucian expertly recommended a delicious alternative. The service was exceptional tonight

Good place to socialise and good parking.

Great food & service. Lucian was brilliant!

Had a lovely anniversary dinner. The vegetable grill, duo of chicken and apple pie were all delicious. Excellent service from Lucian. We will visit again

The Griffin was probably my favorite restaurant from my recent visit to the UK. It is a revitalized old pub, with new fixtures in an old building. However it still maintains its pub charm. There was a wood-burning fire in the fireplace, multiple ales on engines, locals dropping in for pints after work, and even a dog. I had the fish special which was great, but I've been lamenting not having the lamb shank or meat pie. Robert's service was great even for our big group. I would definitely return given another trip to Reading!

Great food, lovely atomosphere & service. Served my Lucian

2nd visit, and it was just as good as the 1st very good food Came back today after a long time, and the food was better than before 3rd visit and again the food is very good. I had the steak and ale pie, and my wife had the chicken burger followed by the sticky toffee pudding with custard and ice cream

Brilliant food and service. Celebrated our 40 th anniversary and wife's 69th birthday. Lovely evening.

Sunday roast is the best in the area, highly recommend. Service is good and the atmosphere is laid back and chill. Seyna was a server today and she was very helpful with us and other tables around.

Nice food, plenty of parking and good service (Seyna was so kind with us)

Food was great. Highly recommend the 8 hour slow cooked beef and turkey. I must try place for Sunday roast. Seyna was very attentive and polite.

amazing waiter!! thank you Seyna 💗

Amazing mixed grill highly recommend

We have just visited today,it was good to have some pub food there, good service and nice food!

Amazing food, our waitress Seyna was brilliant and very accommodating to our large group and various requests, the place can be quite loud but I think it is a testimony to how popular the place is that it is always packed!

Very nice meal . Great Staff . 👍

Excellent service and fantastic food. Really presently surprised by this place! Wish I could remember the name of our server he was excellent but everyone on the bar was also very friendly and efficient

Good food, good Gluten Free options, and perfect service from Robert

Great food, lovely staff especially Lucian :-)

Brilliant breakfast service by Lucian this morning 😊. Food was great too. We’re fast becoming regulars!

Seyna is helpful and provided good service.

Lovely pub, traditional atmosphere, menu with all the classics, caring staff and very reasonable prices - will defo come back!!

Always a great place for all the family to come for Sunday lunch. Good range of traditional roasts, specials and regular pub dishes. We were served by Lucian who was particularly welcoming.

My first time visiting the griffin and it was so lovely, I was indecisive on what to have, our server Lucian recommended the steak. So me and my partner ordered the steak and it was the best steak I’ve ever had. Lucian was attentive and i couldn’t fault his service. 10/10 and we will definitely be back! Thankyou! X

We had an amazing time at Griffin, a cozy place with delicious food. Special thanks to Lucian our waiter who has been very professional and kind!

Amazing food and our waiter Lucian was brilliant, great food and great recommendations. Will definitely be back👍

Sunday roast was fantastic and great service ice from Seyna!! Will be back again soon.

Really nice afternoon with family and friends. Service is fab especially from Seyna.

We had an amazing Sunday roast and the service was excellent. Lucien was really nice and welcoming. I truly recommend this pub for any possible occasion.

Really nice atmosphere, beer is ok, the food was really good, and good value.

Excellent food at reasonable prices. Free parking, looking forward to come again.

Lovely atmosphere at The Griffin today on very busy Sunday lunchtime, Lucian was great, made us feel wonderful. The Sunday Beef Rib roast was amazing.Thank you.

I cannot speak highly enough of Dan the bar tender. Not only did he serve my mum and me the most refreshing non alcoholic cocktail I’ve ever had, he went out of his way to order a taxi for my mother who is 94. Food is great too, especially the deserts

Had a lovely meal out last night, amazing food. We had Lucian as our waiter, he was very friendly, bubbly and patient no request was too much for him.

Average food at an average price. Items from order missing and arriving late.

Used upstairs for meeting. Excellent Good service

I met an old friend here at their suggestion as I wanted an English Sunday Roast. The staff were flexible when we considered sitting outside but the weather suggested we were best inside. The staff were friendly, polite & professional at all times, including when our server handed over at the end of his shift, creating continuity. The food was excellent (I had the Trio Roast & my friend had the 2 Chicken styles with rice). It was also good value for money 👍🏻 It is of a high standard of decor & ambience, maintaining a traditional pub feel but with modern touches. I can thoroughly recommend this restaurant for couples, families, & groups.

This venue does not accept cash, It's the first pub I have ever been to that refuses cash.

Super good pub to spend time with family or friends
