Sweeney & Todd

If you want proper pies with real filling then this is the only place to go. We decided to eat in the little (but spacious) restaurant, after grabbing a nice pint of Harvey's beer from the bar, we sat down and had a cracking pie, chips and gravy. The staff are super friendly and I forgot to take a picture as the pie was too tasty 😋 Edit: Adding a picture from another visit later on.

This place is a must visit Reading legend. The pies are sublime either to take away or eat in with some of their ratatouille and washed down with some refreshing ale. Deserts are also hard to resist whether it's treacle tart or rhubarb crumble. It's quiet on Friday lunchtimes so a great time to visit this gem of a place.

It's definitely a place of its time. Went there for an older colleagues birthday get together. The pies are amazing and have lots of flavour. Be aware though, you might find the pie you want might not be on that day. Though they usually have a good selection. I got boar and venison. The chips could of been cooked a bit longer. The staff are minimal but very friendly and lovely. They have a bar with some range of drinks. They do have puddings but again you have to check what they have on. All in all, it's a nice place to go for a pie and a pint with your mates. However, probably not a place I would go on date or on a regular basis.
