a week agoThe food was really good, tasty and well-prepared. However, the service was quite slow, which made the experience a bit less enjoyable. If the service were quicker, it would be perfect.

a week agoWe experienced a train delay before our outing and had to request a last-minute time shift — the team at London Street Brasserie handled it smoothly and moved our arrival time without any fuss. The atmosphere was stylish yet cosy, with bright windows and lovely views over the river. We were warmly welcomed, and our drinks and food were served in perfect timing throughout the meal. I chose the Smoked haddock kedgeree (Indian-spiced basmati rice with scallion, peas & poached bantam egg) as my starter, and then the Jacob’s ladder short rib beef slow braised in Chianti, with lardons, button onions, mushrooms & rosemary-parmesan polenta for my main. Both were beautifully presented and full of flavour, though the beef dish felt a little rich for my taste. The staff were friendly and welcoming, though it would have been nice to be checked on during the meal rather than only at the end when we paid. Still, overall our experience was positive. We weren’t rushed, we had space to relax, and we really enjoyed our outing in such a beautiful setting. I’d happily recommend London Street Brasserie for a lovely meal in Reading.

2 weeks agoProbably haven’t been here for 15 years and I was really looking forward to returning for dinner. We decided to skip a starter and both ordered the venison and haggis main meal with baked leeks, baked beets and chose dauphinoise potatoes to accompany the meal. It is was absolutely delicious, we would have preferred it a little hotter, but the taste and textures were wonderful. I wasn’t so impressed with my Bakewell tart and custard as I couldn’t detect any almond favour (maybe the haggis had overwhelmed my taste buds), but my partner kept making hmmh sounds because he loved his hot chocolate sponge with raspberry ice cream so much. I also found a new red wine to drink, Happy Donkey. Our waitress was absolutely lovely and very attentive.
