We have been going to this pub for a few years, we have always enjoyed the food, the service and the environment here. The staff are welcoming and friendly we have always had good food served and left with the feeling that we want to come back. So we chose it as our wedding breakfast venue and everyone was so helpful and made our day go as planned.
Thank you to all who made it a success at the Old Bell.

Great good and good prices. Only slight annoyance was after we had been served with main meal the wait was quite a long time before waiter came over to see if we wanted desserts then once our desserts had been served no one came to see if we wanted any drinks or coffee. Then at 9.45 the manager came to our table to say if we wanted anything else he was calling last orders. But all in all great food and nice pub/restaurant.

We always chose The Old Bell when visiting the area, so today was no exception. The young man who greeted us was not very enthusiastic and needed to improve on his engagement with customers. He made us feel like we were an inconvenience. A lady who we assume was a manager or supervisor showed us to a table and looked after us. She was must more engaging. I ordered the no leaf salad, and my partner ordered the smothered chicken. When they arrived, I was confused as to whether the salad was meant to be warm or cold as the plate was piping hot, but the food was lukewarm. Nonetheless, it was tasty.

Quaint relaxing pub next to a Premier Inn located in outer Reading.
The service was quicker than an F1 pit crew stop and food so tasty I was looking for Mr Ramsay himself.
Free parking, lots of seating and a fantastic selection of drinks.
Looking forward to returning again !

Really lovely lunch. Not the cheapest place but everything was really nice only think I would change is one of the bread with the camembert as it was far too crumberly to dip.
