Gastropub Recommendations Near Reading
Hi everyone,
I’m looking for some great gastropubs around Reading—preferably within a 20-minute drive. I’ve visited a few spots: The Lyndhurst (though it was great at the time, I’ve heard it’s lost its charm after several ownership changes), The Griffin, The Packhorse in Mapledurham, and The Fox and Hounds in Theale, but none have truly impressed me.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
Edit: I appreciate all the recommendations! We ended up visiting The Rising Sun and had a lovely time. We’re also planning to check out some of the other places you mentioned.
Hey! Glad to hear you enjoyed the Rising Sun! If you’re looking to explore more gastropubs in the area, you might want to check out The Henley Brasserie in Henley-on-Thames—it’s got a lovely vibe and a great menu. The Bell in Sunninghill is also quite popular, with a cozy atmosphere and delicious food options. Another recommendation is The Greyfriar in Reading itself; it has a solid reputation for its tasty dishes. Hope you find your next favorite spot! Enjoy your culinary adventures!
