We tried this as we had heard it was quite good. However expensive and distinctly average all round. Trying to upsell from the off is never a good start. Pushing olives bottles of water etc from the start isn't what we expected. We ordered 2 rounds of drinks during the night both times one item was missing. Starters delivered except for one that we had to wait 5 mins for. Starters a mixed bag Camembert and Scotch egg good. White bait over cooked, prawns ok ish. Main course all came out ok. Lamb , Halloumim Burger ok. Fillet Steak very average to poor no taste and one had to be sent back as should have been rare wasn't even warm. Beef Wellington at £27.5 was abysmal. Steak inside was over cooked, tasteless and and was more like an overcooked roasting joint. Pastry soggy and didn't taste any other filling. Service wasn't very good but one lady seemed to be covering whole place. There are alot better places around.

Had heard a lot about this place and seen a lot of beautiful pictures of the food on Instagram so decided to check it out with my friend. It was beyond what we expected, the presentation was amazing (I had French toast with berries and vanilla yoghurt), tasted incredible and the staff were very friendly. This place has taken over from our old favourite brunch place and we will be returning with more friends very soon!

This is probably my favourite pub/restaurant in Reading. Lovely atmosphere and decor inside, really good genuine pub food. Good selection of drinks and beers as well. Service was quick and efficient. Very polite gentleman at the bar . I had a burger: nice and thick and juicy, cooked wonderfully well. Chips were good as well, I also had a salad as a side. Strongly recommended!!! Hi Thank you for taking the time to write a lovely review . The pictures are awesome as well . We hope to see you soon

Recently visited Zest after booking a large party for an early dinner after our Away Day. As there were 45 of us, we had the whole restaurant to ourselves. The restaurant was very clean and the food was lovely. With such a large group, we were able to pre order, with a variety of set menus to choose from. Sally, the owner, was a pleasure to deal with in organising everything and made the whole booking experience so easy. A real bonus was Zest printing off the pre order and putting these on our tables so everyone knew what they were eating! As the organiser of a large party - this was so helpful! I highly recommend this restaurant and will be visiting again.

Elm tree is a unique pub full of warmth and character. I spent the entire day with a glass of wine overlooking the beautiful British country side. Ryan, Alex and Chelsea were all welcoming and knowledgable. I even stayed for dinner and had a decent pub grub. Canât fault this place. Five stars all the way and highly recommended:)

...tucked away off the beaten track through a plain door down stairs to a really nice vibe bistro. Subtle decor, good service and a nice variety on the menu about 10 starters, 10 mains and half a dozen deserts. Generous portion sizes, beautifully presented and very tasty. Great wine selection too. About £50 per person incl. wine and tip. Very very nice.Thank you so much for taking the time to review your visit to Valpy. I'm really pleased you enjoyed dining with us. I will pass on your kind words to the team. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

We went last week to this inn for a quick lunch to show our four visitors this very old and interesting inn, and church. As it was a hot day we had our very filled and delicious warm baps in the garden. We all (6) very much relaxed and enjoyed our food and the men enjoyed their beers Although the tables were almost all taken, we were quickly served . We then went on to the church. A truly memorable day.
