Serving Thyme is a venture local to the area and is really successful. Hubby and I stopped here one lunchtime and had a jacket potato each and a coffee. The food was excellent and reasonably priced. The staff are always friendly and helpful and there is a little shop next door selling seasonal items. At the time of writing in Jan 2025 they were selling mainly jams, pickles and cakes. There is always a good selection of plants. There is an outdoor seating area for the summer and the cafe is very popular. I would absolutely recommend.

Fidget y Bob es un lugar encantador para ir. Hacen el mejor café en Reading y el personal es absolutamente encantador y amable. Los sándwiches son tan deliciosos, especialmente el Christmas Pigsy, lleno de mucho sabor. Los pasteles también son frescos y muy sabrosos.

I took my wife to this Tapas Bar for lunch prior to her birthday. It is a very cosy restaurant which I estimate, can sit about 25 guests. The welcome by Anna and Peter, a married couple from Poland. Anna takes the orders whilst Peter is the chef. Peter is renown in this area for having worked in very important hotels and restaurants in the New Forest area. As my wife and I were not so familiar with a Tapas menu, we were guided as how to choose and order. This was the entree which was then followed by seafood dish. There were Dublin prawns, mussels, monk fish, calamari stewing in a bisque. It was out of this world and the meal was ‘arrose’ by a beautiful Spanish medium bodied white wine on the recommendation of the Chef. We couldn’t fault it. Finally the desert was very appetising. We thoroughly enjoyed the tete a tete with an excellent meal. The restaurant is just near by where we live and we certainly return to it in the near future. You get excellent food and value for money. Highly recommended

Met up with some friends from swimming in the afternoon, for a change. Chose Bella's as they looked good on the Facebook posts. We were not disappointed. I had their cream tea option. Scone was served warm, with plenty of jam and cream, totally delicious. The tea for one was served in a large pot, so equally lovely. Others in the group had savoury dishes and these all looked fab. Will definitely be back.

Although not a restaurant, the food is of restaurant quality, I think. Little seating next to the van, but a nice little spot to eat mid-shop. Pizza was delicious and not badly priced either. Would definitely reccommend. Not sure if they do drinks? I didn't see a list for any so if they don't already, would reccommend drinks being available.

Totally surprising place making delicious alcohol-free cocktails with extremely researched ingredients, the vast majority of them locally sourced if not self-grown. The place is like an intimate garden; the scent the choose to diffuse is relaxing and interesting. The owners are charming and welcoming, as we entered they gave us a tasting tour of their specialties!

We had curry goat and jerk chicken with the rum punch and it did not disappoint. Very tasty food, great portion size and quick and reliable service. Will be ordering again very soon.

Enjoyed cod and chips tonight. Best I’ve ever had, crispy chips on outside, soft in the middle with lovely white cod. Would highly recommend plus friendly staff
