The Moderation, Reading

I'm a fan of the Mod. The food is usually good, reasonably priced for its quantity and quality. Every time I've been there, the beer is good and the garden is great on a warm evening.

Same owners as the Lyndhurst and the Warwick Arms, used to have the Spring near Theale. Not a grungy pub with a big telly, but if you're going out in a group, it fits the bill well.

The Warwick Arms, Reading

Agree with the previous review - this is, IMO, the best Thai in Reading. The beer's really good too. They do mid-week specials that make it even more reasonable. Well worth a visit - though it's often a bit on the quiet side.

The Pot Kiln, Frilsham

A perfect place to try some great local game food (rabbit, fallow deer, partridge etc), washed down with West Berks brewery's finest. The beer is always good, the food is excellent, and considering the quality, not too badly priced. A Sunday lunch for 4 with a few drinks and 3 courses, would work out about �40 a head including service.

The downsides are the size of the bar (it's not even a waiting room for the restaurant) and the outside gents toilet - all very quaint, but in the winter it's freezing!

Highly recommended for a great lunch of locally sourced, well cooked rustic game.
