This place is a little out of the way of the main town (about a 10 minute walk from the flat) however it does great brunch! It's very popular though so either go early or be prepared to queue for a table!

This lovely place is in Caversham (about a half hour walk or 5 minute drive away from our apartment) is also great for brunch, as well as very reasonably priced food for lunch/dinner, with lots of good deals to be had! The place is quiet eclectic in taste and very welcoming. I'd suggest on a nice sunny morning talking a stroll to it along the Canal and River.

The is a great old typical English pub next to the River Thames, serving lovely food - I recommend the Sunday Roast! You can take a stroll down here along the River (about 3.5 miles) or drive there within about 15 minutes. If you walk you will see George Clooney's house along the way!

If you are wanting to celebrate a special occasion, the The French Horn is for you! Delicious French fine dining food is on offer here, with first class service. Splash out at the weekend, or they do great set menu's during the week for those on a tighter budget. This is also on the River with great views, and when you arrive you can sit in their lovely lounge with a drink, next to something roasting on a spit above the fire!
