The best restaurants in Mortimer West Berkshire South East

We stayed over in Reading from London and happy to say the food and service was exemplary. Portions were amazing and Manager was profession (even though they were short staffed). By far the best harvester I been to and highly recommend going. A very happy (returning) customer

The pub was brimming and over flowing to the outside with diners when we arrived. I'd heard their roast dinners were good and thought the number of people were a testament to that. Wrong! The roast (?) potatoes weren't all golden and crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside but barely cooked and a grey colour which my knife couldn't penetrate. One of the potatoes was actually black. The parsnip was not all soft and squiggy but suffered the same lack of time in the oven, if it ever saw an oven that defied my knife slicing off a piece to taste. The pork dry, and tasteless. I didn't attempt the giant Yorkshire which obviously wasn't homemade instead looked plastic. The cackling burnt. However the side dish of cabbage and carrots and the one piece of cauliflower whilst overcooked was quite tasty hence the 2 stars I think we were perhaps one of the last diners to be served so maybe we drew the short straw. I'm not however game to try again.

Lovely tea rooms by the canal. Sandwiches, panini, cakes, icecream all delicious. It's tiny but has upstairs space too. Outside tables and chairs in the garden area very popular with families and dog walkers. Overall very nice. The toilet seat and the bin in the one communal loo look like a health hazard and need replacing however.

Excellent food, brilliant service and very good value for money. It was my first visit today and will definitely go back

Qué lugar tan fabuloso. Un lugar pintoresco escondido en el campo, me he alojado en muchos hoteles de 5 estrellas que están lejos de ser tan buenos. En cuanto a la atención al cliente, en pocas palabras, nunca he tenido mejor. Elizebeth, Sarah e Irem en la casa de campo claramente amaba su trabajo. Continuando con su trabajo diario con una sonrisa en la cara. Brilliant. El desayuno era fenomenal, la disposición y la presentación era perfecta. Una hermosa manera de terminar tu larga semana en la carretera

Great find. First rate service. Ample parking behind the restaurant. The staff are very welcoming and accommodating. Booked online with quick email confirmation. Relaxing pace; allowed to take time and enjoy the delicious food. No alcohol on the menu (BYO) and good selection of soft drinks.

Very authentic, fresh and tasty Thai food! My partner has traveled extensively in the far east and I am very fond of Asian cuisine so when we relocated to Reading two years ago one target was to find a good Thai. This was the first time we have been to The Turners Arms and we will be back! We started with the mixed starter for two which is an excellent selection of traditional Thai starters, all very tasty and hard to find any fault. The mains were the Duck special and the Pad Kraphaw, also with duck. Both dishes were mild in terms of heat but very flavoursome, from the freshness of the vegetables and distinct flavours in the dish it is obvious these were cooked fresh to order. Great old pub surroundings and we will look forward to visiting again when the fire is lit as that would perfect the cozy pub atmosphere.

Great service at the Old Bell. food was delicious and cooked to perfection

Quiet location to the south of Reading. Handy for the Mereoak Park & Ride which provides good access into Reading or to go to see Reading FC play - catch the F3 bus. Meals are provided in The Old Bell, next door. I've only ever had the continental breakfast so can't comment on the quality of the meals provided on site. If you're seeking a quiet rural location with not much going on, then it's perfect!

The food was amazing, this is now my local pub since moving into the area. The decor could improve but that wouldn't stop me coming regularly. Looking forward to my next meal there. Thanks

First meal from them today, disappointing portion sizes for the money (expensive) ordered a beef chowmein but when got home it was chicken, chicken curry was very runny and mushroom rice, below average. We ate it because we were hungry but wouldn't go there again

Came here with Friends, the Sunday roast's are exceptional. Parking here can be a bit of an issue, as the car park is quite small, however, there is plenty of parking on the green opposite if you have a 4x4.

Thanks to all the team at the old bell for an excellent Sunday lunch. On arrival my wife and I were greeted with a friendly smile followed by great service throughout lunch. Food was piping hot and great quality and value for money. This was the best Sunday roast in a restaurant I've had in years .

The choice on the menu was excellent, varied and authentic Thai. The food itself was without fault and everyone enjoyed their meals. The rating was marked down due to the reluctant service. It was bordering painful. The pub has seen better days too but this can be easily overlooked because the food is good. Next time will try takeaway so we don’t have to experience the lack lustre staff.
