This award-winning restaurant next to the River Kennet has lovely roast dinners that don't disappoint, making it a Reading institution for the quintessential British Sunday lunch experience.
All roasts are served with large, fluffy Yorkshire puddings and all of the delicious trimmings, with ingredients sourced from local independent butchers, fishmongers and greengrocers. The beef is aged for 28 days, while the lamb comes from farms in the nearby Berkshire countryside.
The restaurant's riverside location provides a picturesque backdrop for your meal, with outdoor seating available in warmer months. The attentive staff and relaxed atmosphere make it family-friendly without compromising on quality. This is the perfect spot to enjoy a Sunday Roast overlooking the river, though booking ahead is essential as tables fill up quickly.
