Review of Chronicles Cellar Bar & Bistro

very nice 
Very small but very welcoming. An old building underground down winding wooden staircase. The food is wholesome and plentiful. I particularly like the vegetable chilli. Unless you are recommended this place or have been before you may not easily stumble accross it as it is hidden away in a back street.

Review of Chillis Grill and Bar
25 Apr 08, 16:01
cold
whether it is becuase the walls are all glass and it is situated right on the river I have always found this place to be cold! The American/Mexican style food however, is good and plenty of choice and large portions. Booking is not possible and a buzzer system operates usually with a fairly long wait at peak times.

Review of Revolution Bar

nice cocktails
A very loud dance bar with a great choice of cocktails mostly including Vodka! For the most part it is a youngsters place however, for those of us that are young at heart if you fancy throwing some shapes it is a good place to go.

Review of Loch Fyne Restaurant & Oyster Bar
24 Apr 08, 15:07
pricey!
Whilst the 'fishy' food is very good and well presented I find Loch Fyne a little on the pricey side as veggies need to be ordered seperatley in addition to the already slightly over priced main dishes. The service is very good and the rustic building over 3 floors is very nicely decorated and over looks the river. I find this to be cold in the winter months.

Review of Carluccio's

hard seats..!
Although the food is very good, service very fast and prices not to bad the seating could be better. The decor is a modern cafe style with very uncomfortable chairs unless you get the benches along the walls however, these tables are very close together and you can hear your neighbours conversation as no doubt they can yours. As it is attached to the deli shop you have the option to make purchases also.

authentic
This is a situated on the outskirts of the town centre and has a very loyal following. The food is of a very high standard and dishes are authentic Sardinian style and not to badly priced. The staff are friendly and efficient with a very welcoming atmosphere.

Review of Reading Central Cars

never let me down
Having used this company several times through work I have used them many times for personal use. The drivers are always friendly and competant drivers. They have never let me down and always turned up when booked and have never let other people 'steal' my cab as many companys do.

always busy
They have now changed thier name to Zyka however, the staff have remained the same. Always busy on a Thursday, Friday and Saturday. You will need to book. The service is always fast and efficient and the food is good with several specials to choose from.

yummy cocktail!
Although this restaurant is due to shut down next month it was packed with a great atmosphere. The meal ordered for eight people was spot on and service was very quick. To finish rather than have a pud try one of the cocktails 'Sneaky After 8' a creamy, chocolate, minty, alcoholic dream!

Lovely Lunch
For my birthday approx 20 colleagues and I visited for lunch. The service was fast and efficient and the meals ordered arrived swiftly and were tasty and hot. The atmosphere is welcoming and friendly. The large garden on the banks of the river Kennet is well equipped for families.
