The Last Crumb in Reading

Best pub in town. Love their craft beers and the amazing burgers (the best I have ever tried!). The ambience is perfect and the staff really friendly. Would recommend this place 100%!

Another 're'review, as going up and down due to, what I assume to be, corporate decisions at Dodo Pubs. My review went to a single star when put all the prices up considerably, and removed Craft Ale ... and the fabulous Dodo Burger (pink!). I came back and upped to four stars, after finding all pubs started charging more, and finding a decent ale, and the great Sloppy Napoli pizza ... now back to a very average three stars, as they have removed that pizza (leaving cheapo fatty sliced meats, peperoni/chorizo/salami, thinly sliced for maximum coverage at low cost). Recently tried the replacement Burger, IMO worse than average pub offering. Coleslaw was basically shredded veg without 'sauce'. I guess it is my favourite Caversham pub, outside, and in the summer. Accoustics not good inside, so not great for winter. The big problem is the industry charging so much to have a drink. The Crumb's big differentiator was it's high quality food, but they have removed all the things that made them great. The staff are great, and I wish them all the best, but I simply don't think it worth the expense.

Very nice clean pub. Tasty pub grub and great selection of drinks to choose from. Friendly staff and good atmosphere too.

A good pub for meeting before the cremation. Basic inside but everyone looked like they enjoyed the food which did look delicious

Good beers on tap, not the usual rubbish

Good pub with a decent selection of beers. Napolitan style Pizzas cooked in a wood fired oven only let down by the fact they're often a bit burned underneath.

They don't do burgers till 5pm .. otherwise really good food

Absolutely love this place, lived in Reading for so long and never been here!! Food was amazing, staff are really chatty and the atmosphere was great 😁

En realidad es un gran pub y la cerveza está bien. Sin embargo, un bar no es una parada de autobús! ¿Qué pasa con la cola? Por favor, la gente podría aprender a usar una barra. El 3 sobre 5 se debe simplemente a la cola

Great pub! Great Pizza. Fantastic staff!!

Nice pub. Reasonable prices and the staff are always helpful & welcoming.

I love 😘 them 😍 we all love ❤️ Harry 💕

Gran selección de cerveza, pizzas fantásticas y mucho espacio al aire libre. Fantástico jardín de cerveza en un buen día. En el interior está decorado en un ambiente fresco también.

Delicious burgers and a very nice patio where you can be outdoors with your pets and have a lively conversation. Without a doubt great, I hope to return 🙂🙃

Great atmosphere, beer and food. Must go to place for catch ups with friends and family

Cracking place for food and a decent selection of beers. Garden is one of the only ones in Reading to get sunshine all through the day and is probably the best one around in the summer. Update: they've added another section to the garden that's shaded which is nice. My only gripe (or bonus for young families) is it has the tendency in winter to turn into a creche. The last 4-5 times I've been have the added feature of the abandoned pushchair assault course.

Burger and chips for a tenner. Cant go wrong with that, and WOW the burger was one of the best burgers I have had in a very long time

Siento decir que realmente decepcionado. Muchos perros ladrando pizza no se cocinaron muy bien en medio de la pizza, no se cocinó lo suficiente, muy descuidado, no hay mozzarella en la pizza de mi esposa. Mi pizza tenía miel en ella? La puerta del inodoro de los hombres dando un portazo tan fuerte. dijo al personal, no se hizo nada por enviar un correo electrónico a la oficina central no escuchó nada

Great al fresco family dinner on a rare warm and sunny evening. Brilliant burgers and pizzas and of course craft beer. Bigger kids enjoyed the pizzas and smaller ones enjoyed the main course, ice cream and a drink - decent value too. Will be back again, hopefully on another sunny evening (but inside is just as lovely as the outdoor terraces)

We had a lovely time for my Dad's birthday. Staff were friendly and helpful, the food was great and the only thing missing was dessert! I would definitely go back!

Been here many times and as always great food, drinks and service! Little one loved his pizza and ice cream (mummy too!) Always happy to come back!

As always great atmosphere, great service and what a delicious food! Always looking forward to next visit! :)

Beer in the terrace . A privilege ! Amazing selection of craft draught and great service

Great pub with large outside garden and good beers

We've been going for years now and never had a bad meal. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Best pu. In cavasham and possible the world......we love you last crumb xx

A gal took me here, after insisting it was worth visiting. She wasn’t even lying. It’s an exceptional place for a casual drink on a weekend evening. Will be a regular place to be visit from now on. Is well above all places over in Reading town centre. 👌

Good selection of beers and great pizza! We really enjoyed tables outside!

Great pub, excellent beer and a lovely ambience. I'm told that the pub grub is good, pizza's and burgers served on different days at special low cost rates as well as their usual fayre.

All good apart from the tiny chip portions

Very nice setting with an exalent beer garden. Reasonable priced food and drink

We were here as a booking of13 early on a Saturday evening for food and drinks. Food was amazing. However, service was incredibly slow and although everybody ordered around the same time, some members of the party were served their food over to an hour later than others, so we were unable to enjoy our food together sadly. Staff were friendly and apologetic but seemed very rushed and light on numbers. Car park was also completely full so of the 3 cars we arrived in, we all had to find parking elsewhere

Nice pub where you can have pizza and burgers. Burgers are fantastic and they have a good selection of beers. Nice and big backgarden.

Always good pizza. Great selection of beers. Great value.

Great for small talking but for active integral atmosphere not for me it lacks character the place has become a shell compared it's past being Prince of Wales pub

Cant walk in for food, have to book online 24 hours in advance

Excellent service, very good quality food, a place with a good atmosphere

Excellent burgers. Truffle chips are amazing!They weren't ready to start making them when I arrived but staff put my order through early so i didn't have to queue again. Very friendly team and excellent selection of beers. Small car park on site. Dog friendly.

Ditched a greta ale and replaced it with a 3% from 4.2% and still have the audacity to charge £5.80 A shame you chose profit over customer satisfaction. Have been coming here for years as our local but off to The Crown we go Bad decision. Shame on you

Love that. Big D hits the mark. Decent house lager. Thanks

THE ghastliest pub I’ve EVER been to. Avoid this place like the plague. Crummy decor, made from scrapyard materials. Over-priced pizza. £10. Two pints of Cola made from concentrate -which costs around 40 pence a litre - flat and tasteless but £8.40 !! “HOW MUCH?” I asked… staff said, “we’ve had some price rises!!” No wonder pubs are going out of business.

Great pub/bar- really nice venue [in terms of ambiance l, indoor venue and multiple gardens] with a great selection of draught drinks. Good food too. If I was being super critical; could do with a extra person behind the bar [when we visited on a thursday a little bit of a wait].

Great pizzas and really good selection of beer on tap

Good little pub, reasonable prices. Wonderful multilevel beer gardens - fine even in cold January

Great beer selection. Food is generally excellent as well - decent value for what you get.

Our burger bowls were great and I loved the selection of beers on tap. Chip portion size was extraordinarily small, as someone mentioned before me. When we sat down, though, our table was never cleared from the previous customers, even when our order was served there was still a dirty glass, the table was sticky and the bench full of salt and crumbs.

Friendly, small chain pub with a great selection of beers and delicious food. There are good deals on throughout the week too!

Good burger, good vibes and friendly staff

Popped in Sunday morning for brekker before going shopping. Great service and atmosphere, easy parking - breakfast choice was a good mix of eggs, avocado, vegetarian and good old bacon / sausage & egg muffin. Great experience and supporting something alot more local than The costa mega chain.

Message to owner: Please consider your chip portion sizes. I love The Last Crumb, staff are always really great and the vibe is top. Love grabbing a few pizzas with the kids. But over the last year or more a portion of chips, £3.50, has been getting to ridiculous small sizes. See the photo, hand on heart I took that snap upon them arriving. Love the pub, strongly recommend but let's keep an eye on fair transactions. Ps. Please keep the smash burger as a permanent menu item it was really amazing.

Friendly pub with very good house beers and excellent pizza. Not loads of vegetarian options, but good enough. Pub quiz every Tuesday (worth booking a table as it gets busy). Massive garden that’s a proper sun trap in the summer. Dog friendly too!

Great nice, great atmosphere food and drink!

Wanted a coffee and a bite, lovely crispy full of flavour Pizza ( Sloppy Napoli) and some hand cut chips with Roasmary salt. Sorry no pic as ut was all gone before I remembered to take a pic. Clean throughout friendly staff loads of lovely Larger and Ales to choose from.

Did not expect a london style pub in caversham

First day of their brunch service, very yummy and great value for £9.99 (also included a coffee)!

Popular with younger people - higher volume music and good atmosphere. Reasonable food and beer choices.

Fantastic place great drink collection and the shots are great

Great food at a decent price! Friendly staff and dogs welcome. All round good time.

We have discovered this amazing pub that used to be Prince Of Wales..now 1000x better as The Last Crumb. Great atmosphere ,drink selection and staff. Byron especially is a great member of a great team friendly and courteous. The food is amazing and the Pizza has to be tried to be believed...so good! Well done !!

The food is amazing. The team never fails to deliver. The burgers are my favourite option at this place. The stuff is always, always, always super friendly and polite. Extremely family and dog friendly. Always clean, with a really nice garden with heating for the winter and roof garden for the summer.

Brilliant burgers. Super nice staff.

Great pub, great food, great atmosphere

I love love my new local! Food is great, atmosphere what you want, and the garden is huge.

Good pizza. Hand cut chips were overcooked, for me. I really enjoyed the evening.

Possibly the best chicken burger I’ve ever eaten, can’t confirm this as I’m 50 and there may have been one I’ve forgotten about or was too drunk to remember.

Nice atmosphere, bust but did manage to get a table inside. The beer I had was nice but most(4 out of 6)pumps were not in use. The pizza is amazing and well worth the visit for that alone! Booking advised!

Changed quite a bit from when it was the Prince of Wales. Internal configuration is completely different, feels emptier. They seem to have finally opened (part of) the lovely pub garden. Quite pricey and not a great selection of beers- only a weak craft lager plus some bottles of the usual brands. Food is pretty good though and the staff are friendly. Bit of a mixed bag really.

Good for family eating and super dog friendly!

Pick your time carefully as it's busy. But good.

Popped in for a pint. The Maharaja tasted odd, bit irony, not nice. Drank half and took it back and replaced with half a Loddon, also tasted funny. Took that back and got a refund from a manager who barely looked me in the eye and no explanation. Left for the Fox and Hounds after that, all good in there. I'm no publican but seems like somethings wrong with their pipes, at least it was last night..

Chips incredibly salty. Pizza was just like a peace of charcoal.

Really nice out of the way place, relaxed clean abs professional 👌

Really great pub! Food was epic, drinks were epic and service was great. Love how it's all kinda home made goods. Highly recommended

The Last Crumb in Reading is truly a hidden gem for burger enthusiasts like myself. This pub has quickly become my go-to spot for indulging in mouthwatering burgers and enjoying a fantastic selection of beers. The Last Crumb takes burger craftsmanship to a whole new level. The juicy pink patty cooked to perfection, oozing with flavor, was an absolute delight. The quality of the ingredients and attention to detail truly shines through in every bite. Whether you prefer classic cheeseburgers or adventurous creations with unique toppings, The Last Crumb offers a variety of options that cater to all taste buds. As a beer lover, I was thrilled by the impressive selection of brews available at The Last Crumb. They have curated a thoughtful and diverse collection, ranging from local craft beers to international favorites. One of the highlights of The Last Crumb is their garden seating area. The ambiance is simply delightful, and a relaxed atmosphere. It's the perfect spot to unwind and enjoy your meal, especially during those warm summer evenings. To top it off, the pub plays great music that creates a lively and enjoyable backdrop. In conclusion, The Last Crumb is a true gem among Reading's pubs and burger places. With its unbeatable burgers boasting juicy pink patties, an extensive selection of beers, charming garden seating, and vibrant music, it ticks all the boxes for an exceptional pub experience. Trust me, your taste buds will thank you!

Met friends for a drink and meal. Lovely pub, good food and beer.

We come here regularly for food and it never disappoints. Great burgers and pizzas. The staff are nice. Always busy

Great atmosphere and a great service, thankyou Byron and TEAM

They have a great selection of craft beers and delicious pizza. The food is always quick. Perfect beer garden for a pint after work when it’s sunny.

Great Pub , clean environment, friendly and welcoming staff.

We love coming to this pub as they are always friendly and accommodating to us. The selection of alcohol is good, and the food is decent. We always like to sit out back where there are heat lamps and a table football. We have shared many great memories here and will continue to come back again and again as it is a great meet-up point. It also has a free car park round the back if u can get a space. My only criticism would be that sometimes the pizzas and burgers are a bit greasy for my liking, but other than that, everything else here is great.

Great place with a huge beer garden! Large selection of crafted tasty beers! Amazing kitchen!

A very familiar place. Nice and cozy. typical english

Absolutely disappointed!!! Kitchen suppose to close at 21:00. We arrive at 20:20, I did try to make an order online but my card was declined, so I went to a bar at 20:37 and was told that kitchen closed and no more orders can be placed. We drive 5 hours and I was imagining that I can get some decent food, obviously it didn’t happen and it was late to switch to another pub… total waste, will not come here again.

Great pub with a decent outdoors area, and lovely service - my favourite in Caversham.

Lovely pub with a nice atmosphere. If only they did a few more Reading beers they would be 5 star

Last crumb will not ever be my last place coz I really loved this place. So, every weekend it will be my first place to go to the last crumb pub. 😍 best Beers in Reading Town. Cheers 🍻

Went here 2 times. Am I missing something or are pizzas supposed to be soggy? I wanted to give it another chance and the edges of the pizza looks lovely and crisp but their pizza is like eating a wet sock. Not appealing at all. It is so disappointing knowing they have a proper pizza oven but their chef is not trained to use it properly- most likely the problem is not enough heating the oven before making pizzas. Thought I try the vegan burger bowl the 2nd time and the vegan burger was falling apart from the top appearance took a bite to find the bottom burnt to a char which the waiter admitted it was. I suspect the cook thought if they cooked it enough it would hold together thus burning the bottom. They did offer to replace it. I declined though as I think their priorities are the drinks/bar area.

Very good food, great service and inside it's spacious and nice. Will definitely be back!

Nice atmosphere, friendly locals good beer

Like the previous reviewer I also visited The Last Crumb one evening with a friend, as I have done many times in the past, but two weeks later I received a notification from one of those dodgy private parking companies saying I hadn't obtained a permit to park in the pub car park. I have never had to get a permit in the past to park there, or in fact in any other pub car park I've ever visited. The staff made no mention of it, and although they say there were signs "everywhere", seeing as the pub was full for Quiz Night, I didn't notice any and neither did my friend who is a regular there. Having written to the pub I eventually received a fairly snotty reply saying that it was nothing to do with them and I'd have to contact the parking enforcement company directly. However, as the parking company are hired by the pub then The Last Crumb/Dodo Pub Co. certainly could contact them if they wanted to, to cancel the ticket, but they clearly can't be bothered to help out a genuine customer who has spent a good amount of money with them in the past. These parking companies don't have a legal leg to stand on and are nothing but bullies, so I will now be appealing, but it's a complete waste of my time when I have done absolutely nothing wrong. A real shame as I liked this place before, but won't be returning, or going to any Dodo Pub Co pubs ever again.

I came down with my wife as a treat. A few days later we received a £100 fine for not obtaining a permit from the bar. No prompt or reminder from the staff regarding parking when we ordered at the bar. Disappointed at the militant car parking fines and the lack of help from staff to resolve the issue. Completely understandable that they want to protect their car park for paying customers, but persecuting them for an honest mistake is disappointing. Other local pubs have similar systems but are more helpful at resolving issues with customers. At least there will be more room in the car park now as we shall not return.

This visit was bizarre, like visiting the Marie Celeste. The pub was open, keys in the door, cellar door open. There was a mobile phone, laptop, and sandwich on a table but NO one there. We called, shouted, but no one came. Had to go elsewhere. Thanks for your reply. We visited the pub on Wednesday the 15th at 1.30. According to your publicity and the notices outside your pub, you are open for lunch.

Amazing service, excellent night!!!

The pizza is incredible. Best in Reading. Miss the table football. Like how they have some board games for kids

Good pub, good food, just wish they rotated their beers more often.

Very popular, lively local ... but not he place for a quiet conversation in the evening when the music volume is cranked up! Good range of well kept ales, though a tad pricey, thus the rating. But I am a oldster - I bet it's 5 star with those half my age 🙂

Always brilliant food! Staff are super friendly and they love dogs too.
