Restaurants around Reading

I need to find a place to eat next Saturday somewhere between Legoland and Reading (where we're staying for the night). A Beefeater or Brewers Fayre preferably!!

Any recommendations/suggestions?

Thanks!

    If you go into Reading, try Strada, an excellent Italian restaurant. Not just the usual pasta and pizzas, but also some authentic meat/chicken/fish dishes one never hears about outside Italy. :)
    Be careful who you open up to. Today it's ears, tomorrow it's mouth.

    Whereabouts are you staying in Reading. I will be able to recommend some places near to your hotel, or places en route. Windsor is about 45 mins drive away from Reading, down the M4. If you come off at J11, and turn right towards town centre, you will come across a Harvester (The world Turned Upside Down).

    There are two Brewers Fayres in Reading, (Travellers Rest) and (The Mansion House), but may be awkward for you to get to depending on where you are staying, I can advise which one is closest.

    There is a Beefeater (The Southcote) not far from the Brewers Fayre (The Mansion House) in Reading.

    If you drive through Bracknell on the way back to Reading (avoiding the M4), as littlelibrarylass says, there's a Harvester, Beefeater and a Brewers Fayre (The Weather Vane).

    Reading is a huge town, with hundreds of places to eat.

    Please feel free to pm if you want directions or recommendations.

  • the world tuned upside down is no longer a harvester.
    it is a carvery pub - in laws have just been it cost £3.50 per meal during the week and was ok , nothing special.
    Strada is lovely so is ma potters but it costs a bomb to park in Reading town centre car parks .
