The Tyler's Rest in Reading - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Great pub, good priced drinks and exceptional service from Chelsey!

Shannon and Chelsea were amazing on bar. They were lovely to speak to. And had a big smile on their face and knew a lot about the menu.

Chelsea and Shannon served us with a smile they are hard workers and always on the ball thank you for all the laughs and giggles

Met with group of 10 friends - food came out in good time & was very tasty - Shannon & Chelsea were great hosts & very patient & accommodating. Thank you for a great evening- all the party were very happy & a great time was had by all. Keep up the good work.

Chelsea and Shannon were amazing

Best bar to go to, chelsea and Shannon are super energetic and hard workers

Come in here most weeks, get food a couple times a month, staff are super friendly, hard working, professional, can have a good laugh with them and they’re really good with children, my son adores every single staff member, especially Chelsea, Shannon, Kat, Emma and Ruby The food is really nice, tastes nice and is cooked very well

Chelsea, shannon and sienna were on bar and they were absolutely spectacular, making it feel so welcoming and cozy!!!! 🤩🤩🤩

Warren was amazing in the kitchen and fish and chips is always the best. Shanno was a very csring and chatty

really bad experience woudnt give a baby a kids meal because they had 18 other people but then decided to serve other people after

Nice pub, good service, friendly people decent food …

I’ve visited the Tyler’s rest on and off for at least a decade and it’s varied honestly. However at present it has the best atomosphere, management and team it ever has. Thank you Taylor, Becca, Chelsea, David, Ruby, Shannon, Emma, Warren and Cameron and the others who’s names escape me!!👍 Owners however need to attend to toilets, decking/garden, cleaners and leaking roof.

Never had a bad meal , always had a great time and made to feel welcome

Not the best meal from a Sizzling pub but not the worst. Prefer the Travellers Rest at Sonning

Staff were really helpful and knowledgeable of the menu when handling our dietary requirements, food came out quickly and was just as listed on the menu.

We had a great night last night at karaoke

great pub, fantastic customer service and really good food - would recommend!!

We ordered two identical burgers with fries. My husband's burger and fries were perfect. But my food was terrible. The chicken was burnt (black) and the fries were like chewing gum. We told the lady who served us and she replied that she would bring a new food. Unfortunately, she brought the same burger only with new fries. We waited 45 minutes for two burgers. I'm disappointed.

Shannon is a legend nest waitress I've ever seen

Eat here about once a month - generally good value for money Went last night and was very disappointed - ordering the food was a very painful process. Seemed a new guy taking the food orders at the bar. No support from His colleagues or management and the process of ordering took forever . Food was fine but management really need to look at supporting the new/less experienced members of staff

Regret to write this becouse it use to be a nice place. 6 months ago l left a 5* review , l am regretting it. We went tonight and at 19:50 the kitchen was shut. We driven 35 minutes with a 2vyears old baby to listen that the kitchen was closed. Caversham use to be the same. Unreliable. If you are unreliable you can't run a pub.

Great place to visit. Food good.

Popped in for a bite of lunch. Great service, great food and great value. Team are very friendly and polite. Looking forward to another visit for the festive menu

Wouldn’t bother!!! Very quiet, yet waited an age for the food to arrive. Kids burger came out like a brick I could have used it to build a house, clearly warmed up in the microwave with the lettuce the way it was all shrivelled!!! We asked for the burger to be replaced then a bun came out on its own, no burger. So asked again for the burger to be replaced, then a burger came out without a new bun even though the bun on its own had been sat there over 10mins!!.. Gave up in the end. Ordered a mixed grill aswell and asked for medium/well done steak. It’s was very rare, couldn’t be arsed after the kids meal incident and walked out!! Defiantly avoid this place at all cost!!!!!

Decent bar staff,decent food,all in all a great local.

My family and I used to eat here all the time, but stopped a couple of years ago as felt it went down hill. We visited over the weekend and the food was absolutely delicious! Great service. Highly recommend.

You get what you pay for, typical sizzle menu, service and food ok, staff polite and friendly Plenty of parking

Came down on Wednesday 8th had the surf and turf and classic mixed grill was greeted by a lovely guy called gordon very happy and always smiling nice bloke great attitude to work and service from start to finish

Very poor experience. Disappointed as last visit was so much better. Not enough staff, too long wait and over charged for food.

This is a community goldmine, serving locals with affordable food and more importantly, customer care.

First time going here, and it was lovely. The food was good, and the staff were lovely to definitely be coming back to eat again.

I came in yesterday for a quick drink after work, was having a rough day so wanted some time alone, There was a member of staff on the bar that served me, she handed me my drink and asked if I was doing okay, i said yeah not too bad, and she replied back to me “are u sure” we had a lovely conversation and it made my day alot better, so thankyou very much to Ruby with the redish pink hair on the bar for lifting my mood🫶🏼

Great place, nice food and sky sports

Came in yesterday for food and drink with my partner and a friend,and my pooch got 5 starters for 11:75 and food for my doggo as they had a doggy food menu, food was top notch and the new drinks menu stood out perfect cocktails just the right price, big thank you to the staff and chefs got a happy doggo now ❤️🐶

Atmosphere at Tyler’s is always relaxed, and puts my anxiety at ease, dog friendly pub is always one for the connected pooches with a delightful doggy menu and water with or without ice available. Shannon served us today with a smile and polite manner. Definitely my favourite pub within the local area with new and revise drinks menu alongside a great hit off with their new food options. Adjustments welcome for picky eaters or those with allergies. All round fabulous experience!!

Popped in for a pint and to watch the football. Game shown on big screen and a nice pint of Doom Bar served by the barman David.

Lovely place for some pool a bite to eat and drink

8 of us went here for a pre wedding meal but only 7 of us got main meals. The grooms main meal never arrived despite double checking. Only 1 of 3 starters came out too. The poor waitress Ruby was so rushed off her feet it's a wonder she knew what day it was. To her credit she did a sterling job and was very polite. There was also a group of about 10 or so that were sat at the next table that were so rowdy we couldn't hear one another. Locals apparently. They were constantly up and down, squeezing past to get by to get outside for cigarettes, most annoying. Overall, it wasn't a great experience. Probably wouldn't return.

Over priced for what it is and rude service

I find it miserable and over priced Victoria up the road is better more welcoming now.

We were a group of 8 who wanted to order as 4 couples. Actually ordering was straight forward and we expected that the food might arrive at different times, what we didn't expect was that some of the food wouldn't arrive. 2 starters just didn't turn up and one main didn't come out. The young lady serving did her best but clearly there was a breakdown between the till and the kitchen. To be fair the manager refunded the missing food without issue but it did leave one of our party searching for the nearest fast food outlet.

Very friendly staff, great atmosphere 👌

Stuff was nice and friendly. The QR code was missing on our table, so couldn’t order online, but not big problem.

Great friendly staff. New menu with great yummy food with brill price.

Amended rating following further visits! Attentive staff. Affordable drinking. Nice outdoor seating.

Food was as expected for a chain pub, nothing amazing, price matched the quality. Chicken burger was good.

It’s brilliant here the staff are very friendly the atmosphere is amazing the food presentation was amazing only thing I would say is the presentation was amazing but some of the food was a bit dry main meal wise drinks desert and starts are amazing just all depends what you get but all in all I’d still give a solid 10/10 had an amazing time

Loved the clean and tidy environment. The atmosphere is welcoming and child friendly. The steak was lovely and moist. Enjoyed the mashed potato it was smooth and creamy. There is a separate bar for over 18s, which looked elegant and refreshing.

Very friendly and helpful staff good value for money, great service

I've yet to Try the food in here, never actually eaten inside the premises, I was actually there working, carrying out the service we provide for them, the staff and management were very helpful, forthcoming e t c, and I sorted out their blocked urinals for them.. Excellent Customer Service.. #The Tylers Rest..

Haven't been for ages as went really down hill. There was 10 of us, so a big party. The man who served us was lovely friendly and addressed all the children. Told us what they didn't have. Order was all correct and we loved that the children were served first! Not 1 complaint about the food, even the steaks were cooked perfect. Wouldn't hesitate to go back and already told 3 people how good it was!

Excellent service and great food

Basic pub menu, decent choice, good prices. All of us enjoyed the food. Very good for what you pay

Great staff . Good food . Nice service

Rough and ready, absolutely freezing cold in the restaurant.

A nice relaxed atmosphere with a choice of seating. You can order from your phone or at the bar. A good selection of food, which tastes good but can look unappetising. That being said, I cannot fault the quality or the taste for the money we paid. The staff are friendly, welcoming and helpful. Overall it's a great little restaurant with a separate pub/bar area and free parking.

Not very Good Poor in fact . Food was Cold . Service was Sh1t . A d it was not busy at all . Also seem management only reply to Good reviews??

Came with my boyfriend to have some food. The shift supervisor Becca was very attentive and helpful. She’s a credit to your establishment. Will be back! X

Lovely place. . Up a hill though .

Came here for a family Christmas meal. Can't not fault it. Food was lovely and staff were so kind and accommodate. They made us feel so special. Great start too our Christmas. Thank you also for our Christmas card.

4 meals ordered only 3 delivered. And they did not seem to care.

Popped in for dinner with the family last night and was absolutely fantastic! The staff were very helpful and friendly and gave great customer service... food was great and was served in really good time for a busy friday night... i definitely recommend the festive turkey skewers they were just lovely... will be visiting again, thank you Tylers Rest!

Enjoyed a really nice family meal, food was fantastic the steak was cooked to perfection, cant say enough about the staff very kind and very helpful, definitely recommend a visit

Had a family dinner last night the 24th November it was wonderful. Staff were lovely and the food was great compliments to the chefs. Had the large gammon egg and chips and was delightful, really really good experience and will be back with the family in future

Only got 3 of the 4 meals ordered. They did not seem to care. Not even busy.

New furniture as all the chairs seem to have toothache wasn’t very warm Food good staff friendly and helpful good value for money

I was very disappointed with the service by a member of staff this specific day. I was outraged with the way she communicated to other members I was with. The woman who served us was pregnant since I am unsure of her name. After asking where our food was she completely brushed us off saying “I don’t know how long it’s going to take”. The wait times are also very lengthy considering how quiet it was on this particular occasion. I have visited perviously but have not been there while being served by this specific person so I was happy with that service on the previous occasions. We visited at the beginning of october.

New menu was nice, service was a little slow as we waited an hour and with children that's a nightmare.

Much better service this time round! The food took longer than expected and the meat was overcooked, but the staff were very friendly and helped with anything that we needed.

Unfortunately my 26yr old daughter need her passport which we forgot, was her birthday and she wanted cocktails so had to go back for it, my dinner was put on hot plate, which made it dry and rubbery. Great service though, would go again, but with passport.

Top marks! Had a really lovely evening and fantastic food. I love the hotdogs. My cocktails were perfect. Thank you Tyler's Rest!!!

Been here twice and on both occasions the service was SO SLOW. The second visit the desserts took about an hour maybe even longer to arrive, after asking twice and being told both times it’s on its way they finally came and the sticky toffee pudding was half frozen! It ruined our visit! It’s not hard to heat up a dessert! The restaurant was empty apart from one other family, tables weren’t even being cleaned and tidied so not sure what the staff were actually doing?? Would not be returning

Great service, great food and great beer

Saturday lunch time great family atmosphere and value.

Choose Tyler's Rest for a birthday dinner. It was awful. Steak was not edible as was way too chewy and not enjoyable. We were bought a bowl of barely cooked mushrooms as they were part of the meals we ordered and had to ask for them. They still had lumps of dirt on them which was really off putting and definitely not hot or cooked. Waited ages whilst they dealt with the other bar, which is clearly a priority, even though there were people waiting to order. If anyone had bothered to ask how our meal was, we would have let them know it wasn't great, but they didn't. Left hungry and really cheesed off as it was for my birthday today. Lesson learnt! We wont be back.

Loved every moment of my visit, great food, great drinks and Becca the Manageress is brilliant 😁

Good food good prices Friendly staff would like to thank becka for a great friendly and efficient service

Credit where credit is due I’ve noticed a lot of bad reviews fir this place However took a chance, haven’t been here fir years! Best fish n chips I’ve had fir a long time Fish divine, great quality Service impeccable And such a reasonable price

Good value for money , never packed during the day on week days, never rushed out so can sit and relax after eating the staff are always changing so never get to know them but they were pleasant and welcoming

You can improve on your meal times as we waited 2 hours for our food and then my partner had some plastic inside his burger

I had a very good experience the food was very good the drinks 🍸 very good the staff were very helpful I will definitely go there again

Do not go there unless you want terrible service. Been there twice and had trouble both times. First time they served me frozen pizza and refused to refund. Next time we ordered desserts and they claimed not to received it on their system and refused to give a refund. I would advise to avoid at all cost. Better of going to the travellers rest where the service is way better.

It was disgusting My husband ordered hotdog with chilli. There was barely any chilli and the hot dog was burnt litterally like charcoal. I ordered mixed grill and asked for the steak to be well done- turned up red We waited 50 minutes for our food and it was in edible. Presentation of my husbands food was substandard and both in edible. Waste of our Friday evening and went home hungry. Manager was brilliant however and couldn’t apologise enough. We got a refund on our meals

Best place to go for a meal...Great food...fantastic customer service.

The greeting was lovely from the bar staff. The service was impeccable from Ryan. He was so friendly and even when explaining something we wanted was not available, he offered alternatives in such a way, we forgot we weren’t even having our first choice!! Thoroughly enjoyed our visit. It was our first time and we will definitely be back. 10/10 5 stars from us.

The food wait was reasonable and the food was lovely. Steak was cooked perfectly. Staff were very friendly

We came to celebrate a family birthday. We ordered drinks and cocktails and food. The bar people always were welcoming and friendly and always remembered our drinks order. I thought the food was the best meal I’ve had out in Reading in years!

Good food, with pleasant helpful staff.

Decent place to grab a quick lunch

Great food, great price, friendly service!

Had a great lunch with friends. We had a load of young kids with us and they were very good with them.

Perfectly decent place to take the family to dine out. Great range of menu, all served in good order by courteous staff. Good value too.

The staff were great, friendly and very helpful with the menu!

Came here for mothers day. Good good and very friendly staff.

Just popped in for a drink with family everything was fine and very friendly will go again

Came in for drinks only, was quiet but in a good way and reasonably priced.

Had a very good experience at this establishment. Very friendly and professional staff. Food arrived promptly and was lovely. Thank you to the team. Will definitely be returning.

Was told a chef was late and there would be a 20 minute wait for our food. 90 minutes later food arrived all apart from one was cold. My daughters was inedible out of three adults and three children no one could eat all of the meals. A very disappointed family outing that doesn't happen often enough was ruined.

Kitchen closed again on last visit. Be careful with parking to avoid ticket in post.

Booked a table for 1-30pm was told you can’t order food as the chef opened up some new chicken which was a bad batch, didn’t need to know this just say chicken is off the menu, ordered a Pepsi which was flat asked for a replacement which was flat so I asked for a lemonade which was also flat so I took it back & said to the lady in charge I don’t want this drink so she took the drink with no apology or offer of another drink but they took my money for this. We ordered food which after 50 minutes hadn’t arrived with a restaurant with only five tables in use this is ridiculous so asked for money back & so did another family as they had a long wait for food which they said was cold when it eventually arrived. This has to be the worst restaurant I’ve ever been to.
