The best restaurants serving British food in Abbey Reading South East

Me encanta el colectivo pero recientemente la comida no es tan buena. Tenían el pastel de zanahoria perfecto y lo cambiaron, sus cruasanes ahora son como pan, no cruasanes como en absoluto. No sé si cambiaron de panadero, pero no son tan buenos. También dejaron de hacer la deliciosa comida caliente.

It's was mine and my friend first time. The staff are super friendly. The atmosphere and food/drink are great. I would definitely recommend to others. I'm going to be coming back more

Spencer was on form today and went the extra mile by making us Tea when coffee machine was broken. He is a bad boy bar tender innit bruv.

This review is for Pierre's at the Harris Arcade in Station Rd, Reading RG1 1DN. This review is for Pierre's at the Harris Arcade in Station Rd, Reading RG1 1DN. We were staying in Reading for a few days and when we spotted this small establishment it looked an ideal place to stop for a light lunch. We noted that there was no Food Standards Agency hygiene scorecard displayed on the door. However, when we checked online, we saw that it had been given a score of 3 which equates to “generally satisfactory”. I assume that much of their trade is takeaway, but there are two tables for those who wish to eat in. There was quite a wide choice available, and I chose to have a jacket potato with baked beans and cheese. The member of staff who served me was polite and friendly and enquired whether I wanted salad. I said yes to salad and as the food arrived in front of me, I thought that it looked very nice and that I should surely enjoy it. It was served in a fairly large bowl and looked a generous portion. Unfortunately, as began to eat the food I realised that it was barely warm and certainly not hot. Of course, I didn’t want the salad to be hot, but I did want both the jacket potato and the baked beans to be quite hot. I immediately took my food over to the counter and very politely asked the young assistant to put it in the microwave to hot it up. She apologised and disappeared into the back part of the shop with my food. A short time later she reappeared with my food and another apology. Unfortunately, the potato and the beans were not the slightest bit hotter than they had been the first time around. I was sorely tempted to make another request to have it heated up in the microwave but thought better of it. I proceeded to eat the food but didn’t enjoy it at all. It was so disappointing. When we saw this little café that didn’t seem too busy, it seemed the ideal place to stop for a light lunch. If only they had been able to get the temperature of the food right, it would have been near-perfect.

I was so pleased to find a typical British / English café. Thee was so much from which to choose. The menu showed set breakfasts (eg full English or sausage, egg and bacon or wo eggs sausage and tomato). One could also pick various bits of English breakfast and ask for one's own plateful of options. I love friend bread so chose two fried breads, an egg and two fried fresh tomatoes (I could have chosen tinned tomatoes). My friend has the full English. We didn't need anything to eat for the rest of the day. There was also the choice of cup for tea - tea cup, breakfast cup or a larger one. The prices were so reasonable and the staff sociable without being intrusive. Please look at the cafés website and see the menu there. We'll certainly return.

I got a box of yesterdays cookies that was meant to be a general mix and it contains all the worst flavours. I was told there were boxes of general mix, then boxes of white chocolate, rose and cranberry and then vegan boxes. My mixed box was only rose and coconut and one cranberry. I had hoped of the six cookies in a box, there'd be one or two decent flavours but was sadly disappointed. I know they're reduced and you can't pick the flavours. But if they say it's a mixed box, and other boxes have specific flavours, I'd expect a mixed box .

Great service, staff are friendly and really make your night. Drinks are delish, and the food is to die forrr! Myself and my friends thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We often struggle to find places where we feel comfortable having fun at our supposedly “old ages” but there was groups of all ages in here so we didn’t feel as though we stuck out which was great. Thank you Revolution we will definitely be coming here again!

Nice place, friendly and helpful staff. Delicious pancakes and hot drinks.

Drink orders wrong. Food over an hour with pathetic excuse of "beyond my control". Knew of 30min wait but after that management and staff next to useless

Hi sadly I came for Sunday roast with high expectations after reading reviews. Orderd 2 x roast beef It was 3 pm sitting. Dinner arrived & looked fab. But unfortunately I had a problem cutting into the beef & and had to remove it with tissue. As it was so tough & grissely. I did try as did my daughter to find a tender peice But none to be found So just eat the vegetables which I can’t fault. I don’t like to complain but was very upset that I was not asked if their was an issue with the beef As it was clear the 2 slices I was given were still on the plate. At the very least this should have been recognised by the owner who served us So sadly I don’t think I shall return or recommend to family & freinds Such a shame as I was looking so forward to a good experience

I had a lunch with a friend after a long time, Magdalena was welcoming friendly and had knowledge of gluten free foods Lovely after food delicious food

Atmosphere as always lovely but would never go back for food. They were out of pretty much everything on the kids menu and only told us each time when we ordered. The food they had did not come how described either as they were again out of things but hadn’t told us. It was mother’s day so we tried to make the best of it but really disappointing and not worth the money. We had to stop at mc Donald’s on the way home to feed the kids. A bit of a joke to be honest.

Some changes need to be made it’s need updating and maybe looking after the loyal customers More variety on the menu Lovely staff ! Maybe give them a uniform . Kept very clean I’ve seen the other cafe and it’s totally different to this one have the owners no interest in this one anymore?

One Drink and left the smell from the toilets awful toilets are so so dirty not good. Glasses no clean bar staff no the most helpful

Brilliant bottomless brunch from Kitty!!!
