We had the full cooked breakfast the Whittington vintage cream tea (they did us a selection of cakes). Between 4 of us, there was nothing left on the plate!.

The owners gave us a warm welcome and were very hospital and friendly with plenty of food and drink. Highly recommended. We will return next summer for another cruise. Thankyou for a lovely day, Whittington's.

The family who owns it are truly attentive to their customers, providing a refreshing change from the usual chain restaurants in London.

We were pleased to discover this hidden gem and will definitely return if we find ourselves in Reading again. Make sure to book in advance as it tends to get busy!

Delicious food. Delightful service. Charming setting. We've been before for more traditional fayre, afternoon and cream teas. Today we tried the Friday menu and we weren't disappointed. We both had the beef satay rice noodles which were yummy and very filling. Will definitely be going again.
