2 weeks agoa good place to dine, food is great, nice staff and nice service. The portions vary for different dishes. The liver dish was good, but the fish and the oxtail stew were to the small end, but all was delicious. The toilet was clean and fresh. The issue of a fly 🪰 joining us and a huge mosquito 🦟 too was ruining the atmosphere. While I was entering the place, I saw a plate of ice cream in front of a customer, he looked joyous and plate looked delicious

in the last weekMy now wife and I chose LSB to celebrate our wedding reception and we could not have been happier! Jason and the team made sure our special day went flawlessly and truly was the most beautiful day of our lives! The service was 12/10! The food was 12/10! The attention to detail was incredible. They knew the seating plan and which guest had which dish, they accommodated our request for gaps in between courses and they just genuinely provided the most incredible experience anybody could wish! The venue is beautiful and honestly I can’t recommend them enough! I would give 6stars if I could. We will definitely be coming back!

2 months agoWhat an absolute delight. The food was spectacular in every way. As a party of six, we managed to try a variety of dishes and every one was wonderfully presented, well portioned and had obviously been cooked and prepared with a great deal of care. I went for the belly pork which was so good, it's managed to get up there into my top 5 of all time. Our server was very attentive, friendly and well informed. Our party included someone with a nut allergy and this was very well catered for too. This place had the intimacy of a small restaurant but it's layout provided plenty of tables. You will need to book as this is a very popular place to eat. Highly recommend.

Starters I recommend the venison with the red tomato sauce soo flavourful. Had lamb as main with the Verde sauce very Herby. Overall was great I would do it again

4 months agoModern British cuisine with global touches and ingredients is served at this chic restaurant in Reading. Two dining areas: one informal pub style and another one elegant-dark modern room. All the dishes are expertly executed. We particularly enjoyed the duck starter and the pork belly, which had an outstanding flavour and incredibly crispy skin. Large selection of drinks and appropriate wine list. The only improvement point is part of the service, although attentive and polite, clearly not professional.
