The Wheelwrights Arms - Reading

Quite pub in a beautiful location. great eating and friendly, attentive staff. highly recommended.

Excellent pub just outside of Winnersh. Friendly staff. Had the steak and 6X pie with mash and veg. That evening there was live acoustic music to enjoy too.

The service was very good, the food all came out at the same time as expected, despite the whole bar being busy. There was a great range of food to choose from and most of it was good to outstanding. The starters were of excellent quality. The nut roast was very good, and there was a lot of meat for all of the roast meals ordered. The roast potatoes were very poor cooked too long, dry and not crisp at all. There was not enough veg for the number of roast dinners we ordered. A gammon meal was ordered and ham was served rather than gammon my partner did not complain as he wanted to eat with the rest of us. Having enjoyed the starters so much it was a shame about the desserts, I ordered a peach melba eton mess which was hugely disappointing. It tasted and looked like tinned sliced peaches, with one raspberry, meringue pieces and a portion of lovely ice cream that was surrounded by whipped cream squirted from a can. The scoop of ice cream my relative ordered was a bit miserly as well. Overall, It was good but desserts disappointing. Thank you.

A convivial lunchtime, spending time with family. A hidden gem, you are unlikely to just happen upon it! Despite being mid week there were few empty tables, so suggest reservations. The food was OK, the crab cake rather dry would've benefited from a sauce, as the marmalade dressing was insufficient. The mains were varied. I had the pork belly, which was succulent, with a medley of vegetables cooked but not overly, quite delicious. The cheese board although £9 was nice, although the rather odd crackers were, well odd! However the cheeses, especially the Wookey Hole cheddar were again delicious. Service was excellent, welcoming and friendly. We may well return.

3 is low but 4 is to high. If you consider my pie and chips with fabulous pints of ale alone... Then a 4* was nailed on. My partner ordered a nice Sirloin medium rare... It was well done when it arrived. It was the last steak left and the menu only has limited choices... so that was that. It spoiled the score but that was £22 for a steak so it really should have been delivered to requirement. Service throughout was good and attentive. Ambience nice. If you want tasty pub classics this is a lovely place. Nice decor lovely bar. Totally recommended.
