Reviews
"Beautiful location, very good aesthetics inside. The bar and restaurant look fantastic. Unfortunately the service team messed up several orders by giving people with allergies the wrong dishes, which could have been potentially fatal. The food was ok, but generally quite cold. This could have just been due to our table being 16 people strong. But still, I didn't feel it was worth the cost. We have been using this place for our annual Christmas gathering, but probably won't again. I think perhaps with fewer people, the issues may not have happened, but we all pre-ordered at least 2 weeks in advance, so they had plenty of time to plan. Still, it's probably worth a visit. I expect that it's a great place to have a drink in the daytime as its location on the water is fab."
"The place is really big and spacious and we had the upstairs table. As I went for a celebratory cocktail making and dinner event, we had our own host during our time there. She was very friendly and helpful. The food was brought out quickly and was very nicely presented. Lovely venue too, by the river."
"It's been many years since we visited the B&D. The experience last week was very good, the service was excellent and the fact that we were in one of the booths made the experience extra special for my six guests. Great food and service - our server did not feel she needed to disturb us every minute but was around just before we realised we would need her assistance. Will definitely visit again, hopefully before the end of the year!"
"Nice room, shame about the monosyllabic miserable youths left in charge. First, the rooms were spotless. The cleaning lady is a gem, worth her weight in gold, wasted at this place. The location is about a 10 minute walk into the centre, which is great, but the downside is the street is pitch black at night, so need to be careful if alone. Parking is good, make sure you register your car. That's where the good stuff ends. The young lads left in charge are surly & unhelpful. I travel to Reading a lot for work, and despite the convenience of this place, I will not be staying here again and will not be recommending to my colleagues either. Don't bother. Stay in one of the numerous other hotels where customer service still matters."
"Had a lunch meeting here. Location is great, near the city centre, and on the river. Good amount of free parking (4 hrs). Does feel like a luxury place, the decoration, seats, etc. are comfortable and well laid out. Service was quick. Food was tasty, but portions were very small for the price, a 'nibble' really is just a few bites. Would definitely visit again."
