Should have refunded my money, quite an amount. I have spent almost a week now trying to speak with someone in Head Office or the Pub. If you can get past their AI messaging you can leave a voicemail, but then you must rely that someone will call. Having used Twitter, FB, email and phone what else can I do other than despair! Sort this out..........I am not a happy bunnie.

From the moment we were greeted by Seyna, it was evident that this establishment prioritizes exceptional service. Seyna's welcoming demeanor and attentive care made our family feel right at home. As we settled into our cozy corner, we were enchanted by the charming interior decor, which seamlessly blends traditional pub ambiance with modern flair. The atmosphere exuded a sense of comfort and relaxation, setting the perfect backdrop for our dining experience. Throughout our time at The Griffin, Seyna's impeccable service remained consistent, ensuring that every aspect of our dining experience surpassed expectations. Her professionalism and genuine care for our satisfaction truly elevated our visit to unforgettable heights. In summary, The Griffin Pub is a gem nestled in the heart of Caversham With its inviting atmosphere, delectable cuisine, and top-notch service personified by Seyna, it's no wonder this establishment has become a favorite among locals and visitors alike. A heartfelt thank you to Seyna and the entire team at The Griffin for a memorable dining experience—we'll certainly be returning soon!"

Our waitress Seyna was wonderful- super friendly and efficient and nothing was too much trouble. My meal was a bit tepid but was quickly replaced and they were super busy for mother's day so I guess couldn't be helped. All in all would recommend- lovely family pub

The Griffin is one of my favorite places. I live in the USA but always stop by when visiting my family in Caversham. It is a very cute and cozy pub, with a lovely atmosphere and the staff are always very attentive and friendly. The food is consistently good and both our servers Arfon (from Sunday night) and Bonnie (lunchtime today) made us feel very welcome, the service was excellent. I highly recommend The Griffin.

Had dinner last night with a group of four friends. We had rather a dud table placement right by the door, meaning constant blasts of cold air and people walking past. However, the food was very good and the service pleasant and attentive. Shout out to our waitress Siobhan who was lovely and moved on a group of people who were standing drinking right next to our table, which was getting annoying 👍

I took my mum and brother to the Griffin for Sunday lunch and had a great meal. The trio meat roast was excellent, with rare beef, pork loin and turkey with all the veg and Yorkshire pud. The place was was very busy and car park at the rear was full, and I can see why it's so popular. Good prices and great food and service. The desserts were equally as good and the sticky toffee pudding and salted caramel sundea stood out. We will definitely go back.

Booked a Window table for lunch with a neighbour today for an overdue social catch-up! Our ⭕️ booth; window table was super comfy with scatter cushions plus bonus of a regular armchair for me who required upright seating. A perfect spot to eat and chat; catch-up socially. BONNIE delivered us ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️’s with her Customer Service Today! Sharing her friendly personality; efficient service and kept returning to our table to check in on us without ever being too intrusive. The Bill was delivered promptly delivered beyond her delivery of our Coffee’s and Dessert; which was a bonus! Nothing worse than sitting awaiting ages for the Bill to arrive. Today was a delight. Fabulous Table; Excellent Service by Bonnie; with Delicious Food and Good Company with my dear friend and neighbour. Parking on site a BONUS! Thanks again Bonnie; hope to catch you as our server next time we visit. Sandy

My third time at the griffin, we were served by Megan who was really lovely and provided quick service. Food was amazing, we’ve come during the week and for roasts on Sunday, never had a problem. Absolutely love the halloumi fries and yorkies! Only let down was the pigs in blankets are full sized sausages so you only get 2 but still tasted good some people might like this. It’s the perfect place for a date night, warm lighting and great atmosphere. Thank you for taking care of us!!

Excellent menu. Open most of the day. Great cup of tea too. Just a few minutes from the lovely walk along the Thames. Plenty of parking. Spacious bar and equally spacious eating areas. Nice part of Reading. Close to some interesting shops. Brunch from 9:30. Dinner late into the evening. Some private dining areas you can reserve. We didn't book but luckily got a table early evening. Would recommend you book to be certain. Well worth a try. Great location. Great food. Great atmosphere. Good beer too! Steak & Ale puff pastry pie. 😋 👍🏼 👌🏽
