Facile d'accès, avec un parking, à l'entrée de Reading, ce pub est classique en proposant des plats traditionnels comme du fish & chips, burgers, grillades, etc... La salle est grande et on est pas les uns sur les autres, c'est plaisant. Les plats sont bons et pas chers. Le personnel est accueillant. Le choix de boissons est vaste. Vous pouvez y aller tranquillement, vous ne serez pas deçus.

Dangerous as children were running and screaming around inside and outside , knocked into me whilst carrying drinks to our table and no one cared. Staff and parents turned a blind eye. I understand children have to let off steam but surely a place with cutlery and hot food and drinks is not an idea place.

Not one for normally leaving reviews, felt that i had too, not been in for a few weeks, The Lovely Emma who is always welcoming and friendly and nothing is too much trouble for her was working (so look out for her guys) you will get great service and a friendly chat,the Sirloin steak was amazing, so thank you to who ever cooked it. And it was great to also see Madri on the pumps (hope i spelt it right) So glad i went in again and will again. Well done guys, see ya soon !!

Went this evening for food as it was local to my wife’s family, the bar staff were really welcoming and we could see the strain on the team what looked like a fairly quiet bar - we ordered food at 18:59 and didn’t get it until 20:10 which is mad when 2 meals are microwaved curry’s a mixed grill and scampi. We asked 3 times how long and were told each time it won’t be much longer, we finally got the food and it was Luke warm and my steak was overcooked. We didn’t want to say anything due to the time it took to come out to us and we wanted to leave, when asked at the end of the meal “how was it?” We asked was the chef struggling on his own and we were informed that there were 3 chefs working! My advice - go for drinks, don’t bother with the food as it’s not great!.

The Travellers Rest is excellent for a lunch time meal with Clare Stephany and Emma tending to all your needs in a very helpful and professional manner that makes you feel relaxed and at home. The food and service is excellent and should be a ten star rating not five. Would recommend it to royalty.

I've been here a few times recently, The building is lovely to look at from the roadside, especially when the sun is out. Inside needs a paint job. The staff are friendly and nothing is ever an issue, yes mistakes are made, but it is always rectified quickly. Guys you are doing a great job so keep smiling and keep up the good work.

Tis the season to be jolly. Not if you want a warm welcome at this pub ! There was a smiley girl behind the bar but she was serving someone else. The chap who we got was uninterested and lacked any customer service. Have been there quite alot in daytime and usually get a good service from two older members of staff but wow, the night we went it was a different experience. You'd have more fun at a foodbank or swatting the flies that have invaded Costa coffee shop in caversham. Needless to say we only had a half and then left to go find somewhere else. Weren't going to stay and eat, not even a pack of nuts ! Why do some people work in customer fronting roles when they just don't want to acknowlege you or welcome you. Hmmm, will I go back. Not unless i am desperate because all other pubs within a 20 miles radius are shut !

Disappointed today when taking my 99 year old step mum for lunch - ideal to have golden years for smaller appetites. However when she’d had her lunch said she had room for desert so went to order but was told you have to order deserts at the same time as the meal to get the discounted price. What if you don’t know you want them until after you’d had your meal? Absolutely no empathy with the situation - pay full price but she didn’t want a large pudding. Sometimes just sometimes you need to think outside the box

I was in Reading visiting friends and had been recommended to pop in to the Travellers Rest. There's was a lovely atmosphere, and the food was delicious. I was also served by a lovely young man named Drew, he served with a smile and was very efficient. I also remember 2 other lovely ladies, called Emma and Claire, I believe. Everyone seems to get on well and work together as a team.

So, int he years PC (Pre Covid), the Travellers was OK for a drink but never, ever have a meal there! Service below average. Food, well to be honest it was a JOKE. At times it was as if even the microwave had given up.But NOW! TODAY EVEN! Wow :) What a difference. Booked by phone, met and led to table. All food ordered by Ap ( EXcellent, easy to use/understand/pay) and served very quickly and efficiently.All cooked really well, with plenty of choices, plenty of taste and served professionaly.So well done Travellers and thank you for an excellent meal, well served, very tasty and at a good honest price.

We popped in for a drink. Antonio greeted us at the door and was very professional and super friendly. He explained everything in detail and we were lucky to find a lovely table outside under the trees. We ended up having snacks options of lamb kofta, cheesy chips and fried haloumi. Lovely food and pleasant dining experience. The app is also easy to follow for orders. Our table was cleared as soon as we finished and Antonio also checked on us. We will definitely be back as this pub is walking distance from where we live and we are so happy to have our local pub open again!

Didn’t even get as far as ordering food as a rude lady stormed outside whilst we where trying to order on the app, told us the kids couldn’t eat the crisps they already had from our walk on the premises. We said we were just ordering them dinner and a drink and drinks for ourselves to which she replied we couldn’t as we had to order a ‘substantial meal’ as adults as well. We left. It seems they would rather have no money than some. We live locally and won’t be recommending or returning, we’l walk the other way down the road to the much friendlier pub.

Teníamos un cupón del 50% para usar y no pudimos reservar durante el programa Eat Out, así que lo probamos hoy. Se reserva fácilmente en línea y es muy tranquilo a la llegada. El gerente fue extremadamente educado y servicial (¿Clare?), Nos ofreció ayuda con la aplicación y nos recordó que usáramos la oferta de descuento. Pudimos hacer nuestro pedido fácilmente, solo un poco largo al no estar familiarizados con el nuevo menú. La comida y las bebidas llegaron rápidamente y la comida de un alto nivel y caliente. El gerente (¿Clare?) Fue muy servicial y paciente con una pareja cercana que necesitaba cargar la aplicación, los ayudó con su pedido y descuento y también con el pago. Excelente servicio al cliente muy BIEN HECHO, ¡solo un poco de frío con la puerta de salida abierta! Nos ofrecieron cambiar de mesa a la llegada, ¿así que culpando a mi marido por decir que no?

Está bien, pero realmente necesitan resolver las familias que dejan que los niños corran por todas partes.

Desafortunadamente, mientras que la mayoría de los lugares se han adaptado razonablemente bien al supuesto "virus" con un poco de toma y daca / uso del sentido común, los Viajeros se han vuelto TOC completo o al menos el personal lo ha hecho. Estas medidas hacen que el lugar se sienta como si estuvieras cenando en la sala de espera de Dios o en la sala de un hospital. Otros lugares en el área no han ido todos Howard Hughes y no es necesario, pero basta con decir que no regresaremos.

We have just eaten lunch at this pub. We were met by a friendly staff member at the main entrance. She explained the new procedure and took our details, then led us to our table in the garden, pointing out the one way system on the way. Food was ordered at the bar, as the app can't be used for the Eat Out to Help Out scheme. There were clear markings to show customers where to stand and the bar staff were socially distanced from the customers. The fish and chips were hot and tasty and we were asked several times if everything was OK. I would recommend this pub at lunchtime to anyone who is unsure about taking that first step out into the world of dining out. I felt very safe and welcome and will definitely visit again.

No nos ofrecieron un budín gratuito o una disculpa. . este lugar necesita un nuevo chef ASAP CLAIRE no tiene habilidades de personas y no debería estar trabajando en la hospitalidad.La comida de cumpleaños de las mamás fue una pesadilla de principio a finLo que puedo decir es que el personal es increíble y no debería disculparse por los errores de Clair. el lugar ha ido cuesta abajo desde que ella se hizo cargo

El filete de pollo estaba seco y negro y el pincho estaba tan cocido que era tan duro que no saldría del pincho. Inaceptable.

Este era un muy buen restaurante y había escuchado cosas buenas que visité hoy con mi hijo, ya que era su cumpleaños y queríamos algo un poco especial y diferente. Cuando entramos noté 2 mesas listas para ser despejadas y cuando nos fuimos una hora más tarde aún no estaban despejadas. También se utilizó la mesa a nuestro lado y la gente se fue. Se limpió unos 25 minutos más tarde, pero no se limpió con 2 salsas de salsa claramente visibles y el tazón de perro todavía se dejó debajo de la mesa. Por favor no me digas que estaba demasiado ocupado. . . Este definitivamente no fue el caso. En total, el lugar me pareció un poco viejo y la limpieza definitivamente podía mejorarse.El servicio de bar en el primer intento fue bueno. Barman amable Sin embargo, la segunda vez solo 1 en barra y muy lento. De hecho, en ese momento nos fuimos a pesar del hecho de que habíamos ido allí para una comida de cumpleaños.No lo recomendaría y me decepcionó, ya que esperaba mucho mejor de un lugar que había escuchado (es cierto que hace mucho tiempo) que este era el lugar para una buena comida. También los precios que pensé que eran caros, especialmente cuando vi que salía comida.No volveremos a visitar de nuevo.

Llamado con amigos y 3 perros. Dos veces nos dijeron que a los perros se les permitía entrar, luego, cuando llegamos, dijeron que no estaban permitidos, luego dijeron que sí, que no, y luego se les permitió. Era como un boceto de comedia de Laurel y Hardy. Finalmente nos permitieron comer dentro. Si nos hubieran hecho comer fuera, ciertamente nos habríamos ido. El exterior en la parte posterior era un área antihigiénica absolutamente repugnante y asquerosa con restos de alimentos por todos los jardines, lo que seguramente atraería parásitos, como mazorcas de maíz usadas y otros alimentos. Todo lo que necesitó fue un rastrillo de jardín para limpiarlo. Dentro del pub estaba bien y la comida era abundante, comestible y no demasiado cara.

Fuimos a cenar el 12 de junio a las 5 pm, el restaurante no estaba lleno. Tuvo que esperar bastante tiempo para que la comida saliera. Mi esposo pidió madras de pollo que desayuné todo el día. Las comidas no parecían muy apetecibles. Mi desayuno parecía haber sido arrojado desde una gran altura al plato. Las salchichas parecían negras pero parecían poco cocidas y blandas por dentro. El pollo madras sabía mejor de lo que parecía. La camarera no era buena, bastante grosera en su actitud. Nunca se sabe lo que va a llegar aquí, en alguna ocasión es bueno, pero en general parece que va cuesta abajo.

I booked a particular table for my husbands 50th birthday two weeks prior to the date. On arrival the table was taken, I asked at the bar as I had reserved the table and was told that table is booked by a regular every Friday so I had been moved to another table which was small and cramped for a party of 7. We waited an hour for the food and when it arrived I wished it hadn’t. The steak came without sauce was too chewy to eat, peas rock hard, chips cold and chicken over cooked and dry. No one enjoyed their meal. A child at another table had a bike that he was riding and ringing the bell in the restaurant All in all a complete ruined 50th birthday. Obviously only “regulars are treated as customers. Will not be returning.

My wife and I visited here at lunchtime. It was clean and welcoming, with very attentive and pleasant staff. As we are both pensioners we took advantage of their "Golden Years Menu" for people over 60. My wife had the tomato soup with a bread roll and I had the beer battered salt and pepper mushrooms with a barbecue sauce. For mains she had the scampi and I had a vegetarian chilli with a side dish of 3 pieces of cheesy garlic toast. This was all perfectly acceptable pub grub and the meal for us both was only £12.57, and including a pre-lunch drink (bitter for me and mineral water for my wife) and coffees afterwards the complete total came to £19,97, which is incredible value for money. We will definitely be back.

Llamado a los viajeros tarde anoche, alrededor de las 8. 45 pm, había regresado de visitar al viejo amigo de mi pareja, que tenía muchas cosas que hacer, además de unas copas de vino. Así que no había comido en todo el día así que apareció en los viajeros de camino a casa. No estaba ocupado, me senté en una mesa y revisé el menú, el personal de este lugar siempre me ha ayudado, así que no se sorprendió cuando ella vino y me preguntó si quería algo de comida ya que la cocina estaba cerrando a las 9 pm y fue de 4 minutos. a las nueve, (qué pensativo) hicimos nuestro pedido y conversamos un rato, la comida salió un poco más lenta de lo habitual, ya que el chef tuvo que cocinar desde cero, el servidor se disculpó por la demora. La comida estaba bien, probablemente sabía mejor, ya que ambos estábamos hambrientos. El chef se disculpó por el retraso, muy buen chico de Portugal, no ha estado allí por mucho tiempo, pero quería asegurarse de que todo fuera bueno y agradeció cualquier comentario. Respondí que había escuchado muchas veces que todas las maneras tenían una buena comida y que el servicio había sido muy bueno. Volveré. .

We went to The Travellers Rest today but didn’t stay long. It wasn’t very warm in there & the fire wasn’t on even though it was a cold late afternoon in January. We had drinks & sat down, we were going to order food but looking around, the place looked so dirty that it didn’t appeal. Stuff was splattered on ceiling, food on my chair, thick dust on window sill & generally mucky. The menu didn’t have much choice for my partner who is veggie. We ended up going to the Baron Cadogan instead - nice & warm, cheap, cleaner than TRest & two all day breakfasts (one veggie) served within minutes of ordering.

We had driven several hours and had a funeral to attend next door to the Travellers Rest so we called in for a bite to eat and were not disappointed. The full English we ordered was delicious unlike many reviews on here. Quite often the bacon is not crispy but all parts of this breakfast were cooked well. The coffees were also good, reasonable price for everything especially as we had seen on the website a voucher for £5 off when you spend £15.

Have been a regular at the Travellers for sometime, you don’t go there for posh dining , but the strength was good food at a good price served quickly. Recently prices have increased and on our last visit we had to wait 40 minutes for our meals . Hoping they sort it out .

Called in with family after a day out in Henley on Thames. The guy at th3 bar who took our order was very pleasant and the food arrived promptly and was very good. The food is exceptionally good value.

In for dinner last night. Absolutely awful. An hour waiting for our main choose after our starter, had to ask if we had our starter as they didn’t know. Our food tasted like it had been reheated, dry and didn’t eat it. Puddings they messed up on as well! Waited 45 minutes, went up to the bar and they had only just printed our order once we had said! Luckily we had said about it or we would’ve been waiting longer!! So disappointed, had a lovely meal a month before this and that’s why we chose to go back. Won’t be going back any time soon!!!!

Un buen pub familiar un paso por encima con una cucharada. La comida es buena y sabrosa ya un precio muy razonable. El personal es amable y servicial y hará todo lo posible para satisfacer sus necesidades. como local, también es genial con muchos televisores para deportes y una gran área al aire libre para el verano.

He estado en una comida un par de veces. La comida es buena, y tiene una buena relación calidad-precio.

No he estado aquí por algunos años, pero decidí darle una oportunidad mientras estaba en el área. Cuando llegó muy ocupado. Y una escasez de personal obvia.

We went to the bar to get drinks, I shook the bartenders hand - he said his name is Graham. Got off to a good start but I saw him cough on his hand and still continue to serve us.

Yo y mi familia visitamos el Travelers Rest el sábado por la noche para cenar y lo que notamos fue la falta de personal para un sábado por la noche, y aunque el personal era amable y cordial, se podía ver por la cola de clientes que no había suficiente personal. ,

Decidió darle a los Tavellers Rest otra oportunidad después de una comida terrible en Semana Santa. Debería haberme quedado en casa La comida fue horrible Las costillas y alitas de pollo casi no tenían salsa, así que pedí un poco más, me dieron una pequeña cantidad, las patatas fritas estaban frías y no cocinadas. Los goujones de pescado eran en realidad un trozo de pescado cortado. Los aros de cebolla estaban fríos y húmedos. Este lugar solía ser bueno para una comida relativamente barata, pero desde que la nueva administración se hizo cargo, es terriblemente malo. ¡Nunca volveremos!

I came into the travelers a few days ago to have breakfast. First thing I noticed is the 1970's vibe as you approach the restaurant and especially the interior too, unfortunately. Really feels very old, in need of modern refurbishment.

Used to like popping in here with friends for a cheap nice meal & drink, but after today won't be going back unless I hear it has changed! No superfood salad & no other salad on menu, so had scampi & chips. Chips tasted like oven Chips! Hubby wanted a rib eye steak with his mixed grill - no rib eye. Friends ordered a burger with stilton & bacon- they got that wrong! Replacement was a joke! (Great big chunks of cheese on top of the burger not a slice!) They were also overcharged. Refund was given for the overcharge but not for the wrong meal.

I am extremely disappointed by my visit to The Travellers Rest, I have visited previously and wasn’t too impressed but was passing by so I decided to pop in for a bite to eat. As I walked in the place looked really old fashioned and dirty, most of the tables were disgusting and had food and plates all over the place. I decided to sit at a table which seemed cleaner then the rest, there were 4 of us and we decided to go up to the bar to order drinks and some food, We were warmly greeted by a bar man by the name of Harry who bought a really good atmosphere to the pub, he then proceeded to make our drinks professionally and fast, the food came and wasn’t too bad. I would only visit again because of the food and the member of staff, a lot of the other staff looked depressed and not happy to be there. I think the pub needs a complete remodel and restaffing otherwise it will be out of business.

Four of us visited this evening, ordered our drinks at the bar and served by a very friendly member of staff, good start. Found table and ordered our meals. These were served very promptly and we all enjoyed, I ordered a salad and a member from a large party who were seated near us asked me what I had ordered as it looked so good, and it really was, a nice salad with chicken and bacon. We had puddings and the four of us all enjoyed our meals. This does not purport to be a posh establishment but value for money and what we had tonight really does warrant a thumbs up, such value for money and the wine was so reasonable, we were very happy and will visit again.

The small breakfast plus filter coffee is good value at £4.65 and arrived rapidly. I had the veggie option and they were able to replace toast with an extra hash brown (just one) and an extra flat mushroom (juicy) in place of veggie sausage. No tobasco/hot sauce though! Contrary to tripadvisor, the Travellers Rest opens at 9am.

Table booked for a rather large party (17). The first thing that struck me was that the tables were not the cleanest, the majority of the menu's were stained with food. I gave several menu's back to the barman, the replacements were marginally cleaner. We ordered to food in groups, one after the other with the same barman. The food came out to the tables in no order what so ever, one of the first meal to be ordered came out last, practically as everyone else had finished. There was no excuse for the poor service as (if you look at the takings for Sunday lunchtime 8th July 2018) the place was virtually empty. The young woman who seemed to be duty manager was very good and was trying to cover the lack of staff, the staff that were working we disinterested. The final straw was when my desert was served, the spoon had dried food on it, I asked for a clean spoon, the clean one was then tossed onto the table by a waitress. The only thing I can say that was good about this visit is that the food was well presented and hot, if it had been served to as us as a party it would have been better. At the end of the main meal we had to gather and stack the plates and cutlery on a separate table as there was no one around to clear the tables. I doubt we will return. I would suggest that the management look at staff training and pursue a thorough cleansing regime as at some point you will invariably have a visit from the Health Inspector. Management of the Travelers Rest, I would be most pleased to have your views on my review which I think was a fair summery of the establishment.

I popped in the traverlers rest to see a friend as I was passing through reading. Once here we decided to eat I had he South Carolina steak. I like mine blue. It came out just right. When asked about the meal by Mat who I guess was the supervisor I said it was good and he said they have a new chef who's been working abroad and has come to work here as he knows the manager.

Such a shame that all the lovely & personable staff have left 1 by 1 over a short period. It certainly proves the point that pub staff do make a pub! It has changed literally overnight from a place that one would like to pop in regularly ( sometimes daily!) to a place that I now avoid unless there is no alternative.

Visited relatives in Caversham and decided to pop in for a quick beer or two with the Wife. Friendly staff straight away. Decided to look at the menu and thought 'Ooh, this looks a good menu'. 2 Lamb Koftas and an order of Brie Bites. £3.99 each I think or 3 starters for £9. It was delicious!! So much so we went back in the next day, and again a couple of days later for fish & chips. Snuck in on my own for breakfast too. Hot,sizzling and very fresh and tasty. Cannot fault this place. Staff friendly, drinks perfect, food tasty and all well priced. Loved it. Will be back next time we go to Reading.

Sportsman is our regular pub and we go few times a month. Their meals are lovely and they do a few offers. We love have burger wed or 2 classics deal. Services are fantastic. I have met a few ladies working and each one is friendly and caring. Food served quickly even on busy days. We sometimes sit at bar to watch a game and customers can bring their dogs in the bar area which is lovely for us dog lovers.

My friends and i popped in after a halloween party elsewhere Saturday night. Everybody there was very accepting of my dinosaur "fanny," taking over the place! Great night.( Although the loos need updating a bit.)
