    I really like visiting Reading and having a Bloody Mary to start. Be careful with the seasoning. I like the Big Brunch and my wife garden brunch. I find the staff are always up for a bit of banter. The restaurant was quiet to start with but really filled up as time went on. Very popular establishment. Well done to the staff in front and back of house.

    Quick service as usual - quick to take our order and serve food. It’s ideal if you have young kids.

    Our group included four adults and one toddler (who had beans on toast). We had streaky bacon pancakes to share and the pancakes were perfectly made. Then we ordered four mains (2x eggs royale with salmon, classic burger and a traditional breakfast). Overall the food was very good and we didn’t wait too long, however I can’t give 5 stars as eggs were not really poached but quite hard inside for anyone who ordered them (and it’s not the first time).

    Food was ok, service was average. The waitress we had (older one) didn’t seem very happy to be there which was off putting. Drinks were good. Overall a very mediocre experience and not one I’d be dying to go back to.
