Great happy hour with an amazing bonus!
5
My friend and I came just few minutes before the happy hour was ending and ordered two bellini's (2-4-1 on selected cocktails). The bar man was about to add some standard Prosecco into our drinks when his manager pointed to a different bottle, which turned out to be Veuve Clicquot! There was still some champagne in it left and he decided to use it for our bellini's instead of simply throwing away at the end of the day. Lucky us! We will definitely be back!

Good place for cocktails and best of Asia food selection
4
If you like Asian food but can't choose whether to go to Thai, Vietnamese, Korean or Japanese, then go to Coconut Bar & Kitchen as their menu is rather diverse. I'd recommend trying Korean Bibimbap as it's not something you'd find often. All cooked very nicely and prices are reasonable. Great for large groups as there is a lot of space and large tables are available.

The bar has a nice cocktail list, especially affordable if you come at happy hour.

Freshly made food, perfect for lunch or coffee break

My favorite place to grab salad lunch, takeaway slightly cheaper than eating in. There is always one vegetarian and one meat option and it changes every week. Service is very quick, you wouldn't wait for your salad box for more than couple of minutes. Very tasty cakes and muffins.

Nice little shop

Fixed shoes with them few times, always quick and nice. They can do things over lunch which is very handy. A little pricey though.

Average but on good side
3
There are plenty of Italian places in Reading and Prezzo doesn't stand out in terms of food. It has pretty average choice of meals, cooked well but without heart. Vegetarian options are very limited, my penne with wild mushrooms lacked salt and pieces of asparagus in it were under cooked and crunchy.

The restaurant itself is very spacious, has tables for big and small groups, so might be a good option for team lunch/dinner.

Service deserves a praise, staff is very attentive and does a very good job. Overall, average but on a good average side.

Great selection of beers
4
Have always passed by this place and never thought of going in until a colleague suggested to have a drink there. I was quite impressed with their selection of drinks, you can find some unusual beers. I asked for something that would suit a lady and tried a cherry beer which was really nice. Definitely worth visiting and don't be shy to ask for recommendations from staff.
The downside of this place is that it doesn't have a lot of space and might not be a good option for a large group of people.

Good choice of product

Like this place for selection of fresh fish and seafood, prices are reasonable. The company name always makes me smile. You would understand the humour it if you go to this place.

Good pub with a character
4
I'm quite emotionally attached to this pub just across the street from train station. We have been going there with colleagues for the last few years. It has a character and live music can be good. Best feature is its patio. Chips used to be amazing, shame they are doing those differently now.

Good facilities
4
This gym is spacious and has a lot of equipment. They run various classes such as spin, body pump, body conditioning, yoga/Pilates etc. Can get a bit crowded but normally you find space to exercise without trouble. Also showers in female changing rooms are sometimes chilly and you can't regulate temperature.

Best coffee in Reading

Love this little place. Coffees are amazing and pastries as grandma would do it. Exceptionally friendly personnel. I took few friends there and none were disappointed.
