The best burger we have had in 2 years. Great, friendly staff and lovely decor inside.
Hog roast and beer bbq in the sunshine! Every member of staff we talked to was friendly, the food was tasty and plentiful, definitely a place we will visit again.
Had a really enjoyable afternoon celebrating a special birthday. The staff couldn't do enough for us. Letting us decorate the table and delivering the birthday cake. Very attentive with great food and atmosphere. We will definitely be back.
Amazing meal and service. Attentive staff. I remember this as lovely family pub in 1980. Glad it is now an excellent family restaurant.
We had a fabulous meal yesterday, celebrating my dads 65th birthday. All of us including the children really enjoyed the food. The staff were welcoming and looked after us very well. We will definitely be returning after a positive first visit. Thank you.
2nd time in a week I've been and excellent both times. All the food looks great coming out and first place I've been you can add oz to the size of your steak. Great idea. Staff are very polite to

Stopped here to rest & have a cup of coffee after a nice walk around South Lake. Ordered Americano & a slice of Cheesecake. Coffee was mediocre tasting but the cheesecake was excellent 🍰
The restaurant seating outside is great during the summer. Service usually of non-halal food & drinks, so can not judge the food. Service is superb & staff are super friendly.
Went here for fathers day lunch and really enjoyed the food was really good portion sizes and the food tasted great. The staff were very friendly and attentive. Will come back soon
Have visited twice and even pleasantly surprised at the high level of service and food quality here. Situated in an idyllic location backing into a lake you can walk around, this pub/restaurant also has a large outside seating area with TV screens for sports and some kids’ play equipment. I’m honestly shocked the place isn’t heaving each time I go there because it’s among the very best in Reading.
A very smart looking building that has reopened as a gastropub recently. The food was very good, we had the carvery and it was a bit more upmarket than a Toby. The place was quite busy and so it was a tad slow but not horribly so. They have a lot of open space and so it may be good for BBQs in the summer.
There is a review here from Emma that suggests the Waterside left them with no wedding reception.
I'm a regular at this pub and was there when she and who I presume is her husband came in. The attitude of her husband was incredibly rude! He was immediately aggressive to the landlord, shouting and demanding, and said he had "emails" that the staff would decorate the room they were using (which is generally packed with diners). Turned out these emails didn't exist! I felt the landlord was incredibly calm and tried to accommodate the man and frankly, I would have told him to leave far sooner as I wouldn't have wanted staff-mostly female- to be shouted at by a belligerent person. I actually commented I felt sorry for his wife. Their attitude put them in that position!
Sorry but don't leave a review of a great pub that tried it's best despite your husband's attitude problem. Manners cost nothing.
Had the hot wings and Asian ribs. Were beautiful. Very well priced too. Need to start eating here now often. It's a delight.
Food was absolutely amazing love the new menu, beer garden was great in the sun the grass need a bit of seeding in patches and the staff were wonderful would definitely come again! Recommend anyone to give it a try!
