The Water Tower in Reading

Didn't have food so cannot comment but nice pub

I love how this certain guy from the crew remembers how I look forward to seeing snow as someone who comes from a tropical country. This makes me keep coming back as you feel home-y at The Water Tower. This is a testament that they don't just treat you as a customer but have that personalised touch with their guests as well.

Excellent service from Charlie for our table of 22. Best vegan cheese in Tilehurst. Kids loved the food.

This is a great pub, love all of the staff, friendly, professional, food is great, and great location.

Good atmosphere, nice beer selection and Charlie is a great laugh

Brilliant time out with the family for food and some drinks,staff really friendly and atmosphere was great

Great atmosphere, fully recommend the food and the entertainment for football and karaoke. Staff are extremely polite.

Absolutely loved the atmosphere for the euros, couldn’t recommend a better pub for pub grub. The staff are also outstanding and they do go above and beyond to reach our needs.

Great atmosphere, good place to eat for dinner prices are cheap for what u get, can't complain, thanks again had a really nice time

Really feel welcome great staff and Really good service. Always have a laught and food good value. Saturday and Sundays great for watching football.

Staff are very friendly, this is our local pub and me and my family come here every week and the food is lovely

Great place to watch football or meet up with friends amazing food and great service with a smile food came out at a good time hats off the chef

First time going to the water tower first impression was good nice friendly staff good options of drinks we found a nice quiet corner at the back looked menu lots to choose from my wife had the cheesy stack burger when she loved it was massive with fries onion rings I had the XL mixed grill with sweetcorn as a side order it came with chicken pork sausage and a big bit of steak chips tomato,s and a BBQ sauce all nice and hot the only thing that was disappointing was the sweetcorn it tasted a bit strange on my first bite so didn't eat that table was clean music was great as it was a Halloween thing for the kids who were dancing to chippy music my with joined in with the kids dancing over all we would definitely be going again as we very much enjoyed our visit

The service was great for how busy it was when I visited. Great place to watch football and play darts and lovely food. Definitely visit again!

We came in for lunch and enjoyed what we ate. The reason I did not give full stars for service and atmosphere is due to the female staff member pushing one of the deserts. I think it was a cheesecake special?? We politely declined as we had eaten enough but she kept asking. Then when she walked past again she would ask again. She done the same to the other two tables that were sat close by. I don’t know if there was more of that particular desert defrosted that day or if it was on its last sale date or something, but it got to the point where it felt awkward because there are only so many times you can say ‘no’, and we just wanted to leave. We finished our drinks and left. Can’t say we’ll be rushing back.

Cheap and cheerful pub grub. Great value for money both food and drink. Can get crowded on Friday and the weekend.

Had such a good experience. Kasey was such a star and looked after us amazingly

We had a family meal on a Sunday. The food was very good and so was the service. I know it is difficult getting 8 meals out together, the roast was not very hot, nor the gravy. However well done

Very nice food. The service was excellent.

Exceptional all round. Lovely staff too. Food was lush. My husband had a steak and he has it rare, it was the first time we've been out and it was cooked to perfection in a LONG TIME. so super impressed

It's been a while since our previous visit and we'd forgotten how nice and friendly it is. We're grateful for the help in moving tables and providing help for one of our group with mobility problems.

Lovely meal meeting up with my good friend Jane. Staff very friendly his name was Charlie, lovely lad with a perfect nose lol he will remember us now. Allison and Jane xx

Special thanks to Ellie who always makes us feel welcomed, makes us laugh and always provides the best service! Thanks Ellie!

I popped into the water tower for the very ist time... Enjoyed my food and my pint was good.. Recently my local been so bad decided to give another pub a go... Was served by a lovely lady, think her name was Sandy and I will definitely return....🍺🍺

First time back here in years. Definitely will be going again 😁😊.

Great meal, and fantastic service from Sandy! Will definitely be back!

Would just like to take the time to say how welcoming, professional and polite the young mixed race girl was that served us this afternoon 05/09/24 she was a pleasure to deal with and a credit to that pub. With a smiley, friendly and positive attitude like she had that girl will go far in life :)

Went to the pub to meet friends had a great evening the food was hit and very nice Will definitely be back great place to go

Steve is a great land lord always checking up on us. The staff were really friendly and attentive. Highly recommend

Charlie was a great barman, my Stella was really nice and cold. I ordered a rack of ribs and it came out hot and really well presented. The staff checked back on me and my friends to make sure we were ok.

An amazing night at the water tower, I can’t wait to come back and have a great evening. The beer was amazing and so was the ribs.

Great place to go for lunch with the family Nice set of meals and beers to choose from makes it great and good for all the family

Amazing atmosphere watching the football. Sunday lunch was plentiful and tasty. Reasonably priced..clean and tidy.

We recently had lunch at The Watertower upon recommendation and it did not disappoint, food was lovely and can’t fault the staff one young lady stood out as she was pregnant but was still very attentive and polite, will definitely return and recommend.

Fish and chips for two. Sandy served me at the bar, food cooked nicely well presented and Sandy over and above clearing tables, sorting out sauce bottles and cutlery. Thank you Sandy

Food was delicious! Charlie was our server and did great checking back with us to make sure we was enjoying our meals!! Will definitely be returning:)

Excellent meal ,friendly bar staff definitely be back.

we had a great afternoon watching the football with a few friends. it was a nice lively bar with great service and a great selection of largersw. i would recommend.

The food is good but the place is looking very down Update 31.08.24 Shocked that it's been 6 years since we have been back. The mains that we had were very good and also the desert that I had, but my wife had the biscoffi cheese cake and it was very dry and she was disappointed with it. The staff and the service was very good and very welcoming

I sat with my ex wife at table 5, the seat backs were filthy, like years worth of filth! My fish was tiny and the chips must have been nuked by a microwave!

Had a lovely experience at the water Tower Ellie is fantastic and looked after our needs well done Ellie

Absolutely fantastic pub, great food, brilliant atmosphere and friendly staff. Would definitely recommend to others.

Passing through saw the Water Tower was a Green King Flaming Grill so stopped for a meal. We found the pub very friendly clean and enjoyed our meal

Cheap and cheerful. Staff always good and attentive. Atmosphere is ok but sometimes it's busy, other times it's quite

Food was well presented and fresh salad My steak was cooked just the way i asked and was very succulent Staff very friendly and welcoming

Lovely place great staff would recommend

Fantastic experience, first time visit foe me with one of my LD customers. Service was above and beyond good, and great value for a limited budget.

We went in for lunch as a family of 5. Food was absolutely lovely and our waitress Caitlin was very friendly, helped us with what we needed. Amazing food and service thank you again☺️

Fantastic service and amazing food .

Was a really lovely lunch. It’s under new management now so the atmosphere it’s much better. All staff friendly and helpful Food was presented well Very reasonable cost especially when you have little ones (main dish and two sides was a huge portion for them) Food cooked to a timely manner Will definitely go again especially lunch time as great when you have little ones. 10-10 for service for me

Love coming in for food and the service is absolutely fantastic all the staff are so friendly and welcoming The food is very nice and is a fair price will definitely be back

Hi, I regularly come to the water tower ,and spend a lot on food and drink. I love the vibe and the staff are friendly and helpful. I am soooooo happy that they have updated their glasses for birra moretti though. I was just starting to get frustrated with spending on a pint that looked flat. Now it looks fresh and tastes great, I couldn’t be happier. Love this place.

Came in with my friends, the staff was very friendly and the food was lovely.

Had a great time, Ellie and the staff really looked after us and were very welcoming, will be visiting again. It’s local so I visit as often as I can.

Had a lovely evening at the Water Tower. Such a delightful neighbourhood pub with a charming atmosphere. We enjoyed the Hunter's Chicken Skillet, Beef Lasagne, and The Ultimate Feast Starter - all absolutely spot on! Great vibes, delicious food, and a truly relaxing experience. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a pleasant night out. Cheers!

Absolutely fab, went here with all the family and had a great time with best service from a lovely and helpful lady called Ellie. Totally recommend. Jo

Thank you to the wonderful Team at The Water Tower. We recently had an event there and could not praise Ellie and the Team highly enough. The food and service was amazing and our guests were in agreement. Thank you so much, your efforts were greatly appreciated! I would definitely recommend this venue!

Amazing atmosphere amazing food and 5 out of 5 for service couldn’t ask for more for me and my family will defo be there again soon x

Came in for lunch today. Lady behind the bar explained that there was a event going on and that the far end of the resturant was more quite, which was ideal. Food was brilliant couldn't fault it. Even with this event staff were very attentive.

Thought I’d give this place a chance despite the poor reviews and rating, but it meets the expectations. Food was poor and there was a bit of a mess up with the order/service but credit to the staff they did sort it. Would go for a drink but wouldn’t recommend the food

Waited ages for main course and a dessert - early evening on a Saturday. It wasn't busy so I don't know what the hold up was. Don't go unless you want to spend what seems like hours waiting for food

Bit noisy ,TV up too loud needs to be down a bit .

Great food, friendly staff and great value for money

Very helpful and polite staff - Food was delicious and fab prices

Great place for a drink or bite to eat . Staff very friendly and always made to feel welcome . Family friendly 👍

This is our local. We went for my grandsons 18th birthday , who came down from Wiltshire. The staff friendly, food good and come out quickly despite their being 11 meals. Well done

Had a fantastic lunch! Food was cooked perfectly. Staff was really friendly and helpful ☺️

The team at the water tower are great and always have my favourite drink in, vanilla vodka, especially since the new manager took over. I really look forward to my weekends at the water tower. Always a peaceful and friendly atmosphere, with good banter and great food. I love the sport coverage that they offer on their large Televisions. Great hospitality.

Very friendly vibe and great food Staff lovely and meals were hot and presented well.

Visited in late afternoon a few days ago the food & service was excellent despite my mess up with my table number thank you for your service & some good comfort food

We came in for a birthday meal, there were eight of us and a baby. From start to finish our whole experience was great. Kerry and Naomi were excellent, really friendly and attentive. They are an absolute credit to your business. Please forward on our thanks.

We popped in to this pub on the way back from visiting family and was not disappointed We were made very welcome by the staff

We visited today as we were recommended this pub on our way back from visiting family. We had a warm welcome by the bar staff and they managed to find a table for ua as I forgot to book. The food was delicious. My fussy child even ate his meal and he said it was amazing. I would highly recommend this pub and can't wait to visit again soon.

Had a great evening with friends, food was very good, loved the side salad with the roasted vegetables, very tasty. Lovely Pinot Grigio. Thank you to Michael for his excellent service, what a lovely guy. My friends and I had a really great evening.
