BEST PUB IN READING!
Great food, great staff, good selection of drink and in an idilic location by the river.
Can get quite busy in the evenings but never had an issue getting a seat. Lovely beer garden, perfect for night out this summer if you're looking to get away from the chaos of town.

Lovely dog friendly pub on the river ,I had a very good experience, good food and cocktails. They bring me some biscuits and water for my little dog :-) The staff is very nice too .
J. A.
Called in to listen to live music. Very friendly place. Enjoyed a beer and the music. Good food being served to other customers. Will revisit - a good place for a drink or food area n a Sunday.

Lovely location, along the river Kennet with seating out the front facing the river or in the rear garden with beach huts and extra tables. They sell home made cakes, curries and other food too. We will be going to try the food out as the carrot cake was amazing and we got a massive slice! The toilets are not the best, the hand dryer is far too high on the wall so the water drips up your arm as you use it, plus the air blows in your face while using it. Other than that they are clean and tidy. Very friendly staff and amazing decor too! Would definitely go again!

Lovely place with great staff and a cute outdoor. Because they are so dog friendly, it’s a great place to spot cute dogs!

It was a birthday celebration. The restaurant did not disappoint. The food was fantastic. We had a mixture of pizza, whopping sizes they were. Aussie Parma and Moroccan Stew. If that was not enough we had Homemade cake which was truly epic. My daughter had the last piece of carrot cake. I am sure it served two! The owners could not be more hospitable. Even when we were the last and I am sure they wanted to call it a day. They were making sure everything was ok. Lovely setting near the canal. An area of Reading I had driven passed many a time but never visited. Thank you so much for a truly memorable birthday xx

Wonderful food, Fantastic staff! And a beautiful dog friendly cosy atmosphere. This Is one of my favorite places. And I can’t wait to visit again. ✨💖
N. P.
Loverly staff, whom are trying to do a grand job, the food for the price is not great, but you need to understand that they are located in an odd place and I think places like this will not survive if the prices are not a little more than usual.
Decor is very seaside orientated and is quite nice the curtains hanging from the ceiling need either replacing thou or a good clean
J. R.
Beautiful burgers, very dog friendly, adult menu was 11-15£ depending what you fancied but my goodness, everything was super. 9/10 would go again, they do play explicit songs though.
J. G.
Lovely pub .We were impressed as we asked for oat milk in our coffee ,which they had .Very nicely decorated inside with lots of different comfortable Ares to choice from .
M. S. (.
gorgeous Spanish food and well worth the price. good beer selection too.
anyone rating the food bad on here is either lying, lost their taste buds through smoking or are used to eating ginsters pasties
J. S.
Good service and friendly staff.
Lovely place to have a drink on a sunny day, beside the river Kennet!
K. R.
Lovely spot to stop for a drink if you are walking along the canal path. Seats outside but off the path so you can watch the world go by.
M. L.
Lovely independent pub with a fantastic atmosphere and cracking selection of beers, wines and even a draught cocktail. Lovely riverside location and even the menu looks fab... EDIT to add... although the bar us a wonderful place to while away a couple of hours by the water on a sunny afternoon, its astonishingly and uncomfortably noisy inside in the evening. We could have just turned up when a noisy crowd was in, but it was a very different place in the evening...
D. C.
Lovely chill after a walk along the river ☺️
S. R.
Our number one place for getting exquisite homemade desserts and dog treats from the nicest owners. We personally love the Turkish meat balls, Red Thai Curry, and Meatlovers Pizza
Check out their social media page for events

Went here for a friend's party and fell in love with the place! Many gorgeous houseplants everywhere (I wish I'd have asked if I could have some cuttings!) and a really nice decor with fairy lights and art.
Food was great.
Place is also dog friendly with water bowls around the side of the bar and dog treats on the counter!
Z. L.
Lovely cocktails, lovely service and nice little garden area.

Absolutely adore this place, recently moved to Reading and discovered this gem on one of my walks. The atmosphere is amazing, real homey small town feel, lots of events with live music and sooo many adorable dogs.
Highly recommend it.
M. S.
Fantastic, super fresh, well seasoned food.
R. S.
Lovely home made cakes. Gluten free and vegan cakes .dogs welcome.
Lovely walk alongbtge River Kent from Reading town centre.

The paella was cheap, but amazing! Nice naval theme. Friendly and cosy family feel. The bar staff were sweetly friendly, we felt very welcome!
j. g.
Really Impressed that this pub is dog friendly, my brother and I called in for lunch while we were on a bike ride we made a note to call in again whenever we pass. Its a great place
B. M.
Sitting arrangement is average..but food is great... I wish it had more open space on the river side...
Loved the veg paella than the sea food paella... Here are some pics(grp order)
C. K.
Delicious lunch with lots of gluten free options. Sadly let us too full to try the cakes which looked amazing!
J. a. c. X. x.
Beautiful setting. Car parking (under construction but still in use). Very good portion sizes!
S. K.
A lovely canal side pub with a good range of food and drinks.
J. M.
Lovely location, nice food (light lunch) and great staff. Recommended.
P. R.
Quiet pub by the lock. Not a place to go if you want real ale as there is none but other options available. If you like people watching it is ideal.
M. M.
the food is not great, bland and pricey but the decor is nice and it has a good selection of drinks and desserts.
C. D.
Great curry! Lovely staff just a shame they wont arrange a tab for larger groups.
D. G.
Absolutely amazing food from different cuisines of the world. I was amazed that you can find Turkish food as well as British or Caribbean stuff. Truly pet friendly, delicious, homemade menu absolutely full of vegan and vegetarian and gluten free options. Especially their pizzas and gluten free burgers are to die for. You can go there with your pet, order homemade treats for them and vegan menu for yourself.
M. K.
My occasional stop for beer and often workplace in afternoons. I never sat inside but outside is lovely with tables and shades. Menu got weaker lately but food is still excellent. They offer guest ales changing frequently. Reasonable price for everything.

M. H.
Average. Food is not that good but nice location. Staff are great though!!
M. D.
Very dog friendly place with a good view over the canal. Nice food with options for allergy sufferers and a warm welcome. The walk from the town is litter and graffiti strewn but the pub itself is great
A. A.
This is a lovely restaurant / pub at a great location by the river. Food is amazing and they always serve quality product. Beer is always cold! This is a plus if you are fusy with hygiene" their glasses are the cleanest in the town" pay attention to this ;) and a bonus, cakes are bewilderingly amazing!
J.
Really cute pub on the river. The outside area at the back is lovely.
D. K.
very nice pub, bit pricey but so what
R. B.
I had the best medium rare steak I have ever had anywhere while my companion and I conversed and listened to good live music from a weekly music club. Lovely evening out and riverside walk.
D. H.
Really fantastic service, after seeing a pizza go out but not listed the menu they showed us the new pizza menu that they were about to start running. One vegan pizza and one steak later we were two very happy diners.
Steak was cooked and seasoned perfectly and the pizza was absolutely superb.
Highly. Recommend the place, the guys who've taken it over are doing a great job.
B.
The food is just amazing! Tapas maybe a little bit small but the paella is really nice. The place is also very warming.
S. I.
Really great pub, super friendly, foods ok.
S. W.
Went for their Friday night live music session. Had fish & chips there beforehand. Excellent on both counts as is their beer selection.
S. D.
Good value and a warm welcome. A collection on British and foreign fare at a reasonable price. Felt relieved to have skipped the first pub on the way in to Reading on the Thames Path and ending up here.
J. B. M.
You can get a nice coffee ☕ and a homemade cake to go,very nice,support them at this time
R. S.
Great little pub, really friendly staff with amazing food.

Very cosy and friendly place by the River. Great kitchen and a good service.
C. C.
Great little pub , top food ,great beers
K. W.
Good canal-side pub with a small but well kept range of ales and several keg beers. Good food and good service. Cute beach hut style shelters for 4 people in the garden with heat and light. Well worth a visit.
R. W.
Lovely family meal at The Fisherman's Cottage last night. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted delicious. Great range of dishes and good choices for vegan and vegetarian. Friendly staff and inviting atmosphere. We will be returning soon.
K. W.
Excellent riverside pub. Staff were friendly and courteous even though they were extremely busy. Food was good and tasty. Advisable to book a table, we hadn't but were lucky as we were given a table that was reserved as long as we vacated by the time it was booked for. Would return.
R. S.
A nice pub with the Kennet canal. I will be back next year.
R. L.
Lovely pub, with delicious food in addition to being accommodating to gluten free needs. The staff are all very friendly and welcoming. During lockdown the cake being sold outside was also amazing!
R. D.
Nice venue with a good atmosphere. Food selection and beer selection a little limited.
M. W.
It's ok, not particularly welcoming and prices a bit on the high side for a pint
P. W.
Excellent food and service plus an enjoyable atmosphere with the live music.
I. H.
Nice food. Fair not great service. Make sure you get a booth in the back if you go to the garden. Not a shaky table for one they put my wife and I on. Expensive. Not cheap. But good.
s. j.
Visited 31st May 2021. Being Bank Holiday Monday and a sunny day we phoned ahead and booked at table over looking the river. Got there 20 minutes early,. Went to the bar. Gave our name. No table available. Told to sit anywhere! We weren't late so why no table. We were early.
Neither a friendly nor a warm welcome. First impressions count.
Waited ages for the Menu and then again another long wait for food.
Appeared short staffed.
L. G.
Good environment, and nice and quiet terrace next to the Kennet River. Food is very good and diverse, cakes are outstanding. Beer variety too! Very recommended!
B. C. Z. M.
Great dog-friendly pub, very close to our home, which is great. Food was lovely and staff excellent. Will be back soon!
P. B.
Fabulous food, excellent service. All the staff are very friendly and welcoming. Nice relaxed atmosphere and pet friendly. Well worth a visit.

Vegan friendly, dog friendly, light and airy, and on a walking path out of Reading. Also has live music occasionally. Perfect.
I. C.
Great home made food. Really friendly people.

Lovely venue for after work drinks
A. G.
This Pub is now so much better since the management changed over lockdown ; the new couple who run it are so welcoming and make good value home made food! Well done.
P. L.
Nice people and good service. We had a very pleasant and safe lunch close to the canal. Very nice outdoor spaces. I would certainly go back.
M. O.
Lovely pub, a good selection of craft beer and cocktails. We didn't have the food but the plates we saw looked great. The outdoor area around the back is very cosy and ideal for summer nights. The staff is welcoming and friendly. Highly recommended
R. R.
Nice canal side pub with a good range of beers, decent white wine. They had Oktoberfest going on when we were there. So decent Bratwurst and German beer. Interesting decor - very seasidey! Nice atmosphere and great staff. I'd come here again.
H. 0.
Great food and great bar staff. Very dog friendly. We had a group of 20 people and 5 dogs. Me and my dog had fish and chips. We both very much enjoyed it. Would definitely go again.
J. B.
Cosy pub with friendly staff and great service with a smile. Delicious food and cocktails at a great price, always recommend to friends
D. S.
Had a coffee in passing, and a great chat with the landlady who was selling her home baked cakes. She gave the dogs some home made treats, I look forward to going back and having a pint and some food.
M.
Great location, outdoor seating and a range of brilliant home made gluten free and vegan cakes and sweet treats. Will definitely be returning after lockdown is over.
D. M.
Very pleasant atmosphere with fantastic 🎶 music played Live.
K. L.
Very lovely place with friendly staff. Good prices for food and drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating. Very good atmosphere.
B. C.
Lovely setting. Tribute beer was good
M. C.
Good spot by the canal. Seems small, but opens up inside. Fantastic snugs out the back. Distinctive old sailing ship theme with the decor. The food and beer was great. Three bands played some passionate acoustic sets on the night I visited.
M. Z.
Great place to have a drink in the sunshine!
S. O. R.
A Traditional British pub with nice ales beers. Nice spot to stop for lunch by the River. Nice walkway the length of Kenneth river. Down by Thames river one way and back towards Reading Town centre and Oracle shopping centre the other way. Used to go there around summer time just by the river watch barges going by and time. Beer Garden here too. Haven't been in a while but well worth a visit.
L. S.
Lovely staff. Nice food and decent wine list. Tables by the canal which is a change from a terrasse by the traffic in town.
D. R. K.
It's pleasure to reach after so many days due to covid. It's a best place to have a calm enjoyment and river view. Nice refreshment after long days. Nice Covid protocols.
D. G.
Had a great evening here. Open Mike night really well run. Good Food well cooked and people very welcoming.
h. p.
I have been to this chic pub during the winter and summer time. It is a pub along the scenic river Thames. I would recommend walking from reading centre as the walk is a delight. The food was okay I would say it was as expected; ‘pub food’. The garden at the back is perfect for summer time drinks.
The staff were friendly and approachable and let you sample the beer before buying. They gave nice recommendations and were patience with my tedious friend who tried at least 5 beers. :D
I would say the setting and pub carry this rating. Perfect for a Sunday pub walk but not a romantic dinner :)
E. O.
Great drinks selection, delicious food and funky tunes, perfect pit stop on a sunny afternoon 👌
P. M.
This is a lovely spot on the river with light, bright decor and a good ambience. We love the food. The empanadas are brilliant, along with the salt cod cigars. The paellas are also really good. Definitely a good place to break for lunch while walking along the river.
J. K.
Very nice pub. Staff are friendly. Good to get away from the overcrowded bars in the town centre.food available but didn't try. Lovely garden area, great for the summer.
N.
Excellent food and service, definitely a place to stop by very often.
D. A.
Great atmosphere, many choices of beers and house red Shiraz's is delicious. Good tapas! and the location is close to town.
Dog friendly as well. Perfect !
Several nice places to sit both outdoors and indoors :)
L. H.
Its been a regular haunt since it changed owners.
The atmosphere is lovely - a very wide age range of people go regularly - which speaks volumes - it really has something for everyone.
Great family pub to.
S. P.
Nice place to go in the summer. Good atmosphere, great staff, Fabulous ever changing beer menu. Food is ok, the menu has changed with the new chef and it's not quite as authentically Spanish or quite as good, but it's not bad.
D. P.
Glad to be back, shame about the weather but definitely be there again soon
E. W.
Our local is a great spot for a glass of vino after work or to catch the game on Saturdays. Highly recommend the pub quiz on Thursdays too- the atmosphere is family-friendly, they even welcome dogs! Great pub and great to support local. I would highly recommend popping in
J. N.
Lovely little pub with really friendly and accommodating staff. Were out of a few options on our visit Even though was only around midday, fish was a little on the smaller side, though quite cheap. Chips served in annoying plastic basket.
M. W.
Great location by the Lock, great views on to the Canal.
Superb food, nothing overly fancy, but done really well and well presented. The food is american Diner style done well with English staples! The decoration is simple, understated and bright yet warm. Staff are super friendly and keen to please. Management have a firm philosophy which they are trying to carry through and it shows. Can't recommend enough!
M. B.
I liked the quality of the food and service. nice place…
M. M.
Great place with amazing food and an incredible atmosphere. I've been there in small and large groups. I strongly recommend booking if more than 4 people.
The paellas are amazing and most of the tapas too..
N. M.
Great beer and cool laid back atmosphere. Food very tasty, but we waited a little longer for our food than we would have liked. Ice creams are good. Will be back.
E. D. b.
Nice pub on the canal footpath didn't eat but the food I seen getting served looks perfect 👌
J. B.
Good selection of craft beers and gins. Food menu has changed though and has gone from having a nice flavoursome selection of Spanishy tapas items to several just "ok" items. Location is great on a Summer's evening as it catches the sun unobstructed.
K. N.
Good service, friendly staff, nice atmosphere on the river, enjoyed my Rose, didn't have any food but would come back.
P. S.
Loved it.....first time I've bothered to go there and I've been in Reading years. Happy Hour is in fact Happy Two Hours!...or it was when we went. Good beer....nice to sit by the canal....food looked good but we didn't have any so I'll reserve judgement.
V. A. M.
Very nice place, good price good food and lovely location.
If the staff did not look like prawling tigers waiting for us to order i would have given it 5 stars
T. B.
Friendly bar staff. All cask ales £3.20. Guinness £3.70. Had three bag in box ciders out and a good bottled range. Rugs provided if it's cold outside but they'd do better with their patio heaters out. Haven't eaten here, looks like it's served in retro-style plastic baskets and greaseproof - gimmicky or not a problem? Nicely decorated and furnished. Well lit.
N. S.
A wonderful pub, with a cleverly modernised interior and warm welcome feeling. The food is very much comfort food and works well with the great choice of craft beer. I will definitely come back!
L. B.
Lovely little pub, nice decor, friendly owners. We had a great Thai curry
E. M.
5* for GF and vegan cakes and cookies. What an AMAZING selection and so tasty noone would have any idea these were GF so anyone and everyone should indulge!! It's in a beautiful spot by the Kennet, tastfully decored with lovely, friendly staff. They do all the hot drinks with dairy alternatives to milk, so all preferences are catered for. Take you're daily exercise past this little gem and you will be so glad you did!
S. S.
Great atmosphere and return is lovely. Didn't eat but the menu looked good ( Spanish) and was reasonable at around £10 for a main. We went for the quiz which was a real laugh but noisy and hard to hear sometimes.
N. S.
Lovely place for a sunny Saturday afternoon outing. Great outdoors sitting option, great food. They have a lot of Spanish options on the menu. We were a party of two and had Patatas Bravas with Aioli to start and a nice pan of Paella to share. The food was wonderful. This place is a hidden gem in Reading.
D. E.
Nice pub, good range of cocktails and drinks, food looked yummy , good outdoor area, would recommend.
J. D. R.
Food was OK but not amazing, seems to be mostly frozen stuff, staff was nice but not wearing masks properly, didn't feel very safe regarding covid in this pub
J. R.
Lovely little place, great location right on the canal. Lovely food, friendly staff. Will def go back. X
C. A.
Excellent home-cooked food. Landlady is very kind. Good sized portions too.
M. D. (.
Very nice pub now. The food is good but the fish and chips portion was quite small for the money. But still wouldn't put me off going again.
C. S.
Good food, choice of drinks and helpful staff, in a great location.
S. A.
Always a great selection of interesting beers. The menu has changed recently and both meals I have had there were delicious. I had the pil pil prawns and the pork loin fillets. These are both tapas dishes that I upgraded to a main.
P. J.
Friendly staff Great Food good Gluten Free Menu well worth a Visit 😀👍
D. G.
Right on the canal and does a good beer.
A. W.
Great location,close to town, great food and staff. Range of new beers, larger and food was good, additional bonus can sit out front with dog.
Can sit back and relax and watch the anglers cast their rods in the river and watch the barges pass by.
C. H.
Great little dog friendly riverside pub, two outdoor seating areas, fantastic craft beer selection, cheerful staff and an eclectic Spanish kitchen serving all manner of delicious dishes inc. a proper seafood paella. Today we had a nice rock & blues playlist to accompany the food & beers, and as a mixed Spanish/English group were nicely surprised by the quality & authenticity of the tapas and service. Highly recommended.
L. M.
Riverside pub near Blake's Lock in Reading. Has a good range of beers, and an interesting menu including made to order sharing paellas (minimum 2 people), burgers and salads. Helpful staff.
T. G.
Great tapas, great family owners, authentic Valencian cooking. Convivial and fun like a cantina. Did I forget the great real beers on tap? Not a chance! Too busy on No.5! Go here!
H. P.
The friendly staff and attractive surroundings make this one of my favourite places in Reading.
Sadly can't visit any more because of moving away, so I can't comment on the current selection, but I thoroughly loved the beers, food and live music here in the past.
S. M.
Very good range of beers and ales, both on tap and in the fridge (always happy to spot a can of Beavertown behind the counter).
Combined with the authentic paella, the canal-front location and the relaxed and quirky maritime theme, this is one of my favourite pubs in Reading.
E. Y.
5 of us had a amazing Sunday roast...
Then when i che ked menu again curry dishes catch my eyes, and be a greedy one ordered chicken and prawn curry... oh lord, wish i got a much bigger tummy those curry dishes was aaabbbsoooolluuutttlllyyyy dreamy
Amazing location and great atmosphere
Thanks to fishermen cottage for fantastic sunday
R. R.
Great riverside setting, lovely food and good craft beer selection 👍
J. E.
Favourite pub in reading, best beer in town
M. L.
Disappointing. Looked like a foodie seafood place online but really just a pub that serves frozen seafood at premium prices. Spent £80 for 3 adults and a child and we discussed if we should stop by McDonalds on the way home as we were still hungry. Mussels were small. Appetisers came with the mains. Great for a drink and a snack on the water probably. Don’t go for a seafood dinner.
S. W.
This place surprised me - a gem hidden away on the riverside. Great drinks, good people and very reasonable prices! Would recommend the cocktails!
G. L.
Lovely place with friendly owners. Perfect to pick up a coffee and a cake by the river (even during lockdown)
T. V. d. W.
Nice food and atmosphere. The menu is limited but the food is quite good. I liked the massive ale selection!
E. P.
Friendly and helpful staff, great food. There's heating in the back garden huts, great experience.
M. T. (.
Excellent range of beers, including craft beers, American IPAs and micro breweries, also a gin menu and a range of ciders. Food is excellent service is good and outside seating areas.
N. P.
Not bad but not as it was before. Believe because of inexperience from the front door man. Staff at bar and tables are excellent.
S. K.
Great for summer with a lovely garden and front sitting area overlooking the river. It's a 7 mins walk to Oracle from there. Good food and very friendly and polite owners and staff are very welcoming.
Z. G.
Really nice dishes, loved to go there!

Came for the Sunday Roast, hit the spot without a doubt. Service was remarkably friendly and the atmosphere on a rainy Sunday was comfy and welcoming. Cask ale selection was quite nice, as well.
b. w.
Wasn't expecting to find such a nice pub here. Not swanky but the food is good, cheap and comes fast. Also the bar staff are chill af.

H. W.

Beautifully designed little pub in a nice spot by the side of the river. They have drink deals some nights of the week and the tapas are really tasty!

Just eaten a fantastic seafood Paella. The staff were very friendly and they had a good selection of beers. I will certainly visit again!
D. F.
Nice and relaxing place with a good atmosphere, wide selection of beer and drinks. Right by the canal, I really enjoyed my time there with a good friend.
k. r.
Don't really know the place. We were there for a wake. We saw a menu for food looked really nice. They have a nice bar and seating outside . Think they did tapas.
S. L.
Lovely location, wide selection of beers, edgy but welcoming.food is good, can get busy if the suns out
M. S.
Lovely food and good selection of craft beers and ales. Appreciate the little nook for more privacy when there with the little one and the changing facilities.
B. D.
Very good coffee and excellent service. Will call again when on a walk.

Place is nice, host is very nice and there is a very good choice of beers and ciders. Food quite average...it used to be so much better
M. V. G.
Live music! Haven't tried the food, but they serve a good pint. Liked the beer garden.
P. G.
A decent pub, a little out the way but a good range of interesting ales and tasty food. If you're three pints in, try the Calamari Sandwich... It's amazeballs.
K. G.
Excellent food, very pleasant surroundings, outside area too, met interesting people. Enjoyable evening.
S. C.
Lovely atmosphere, great riverside location and top quality craft beers. Fish finger sandwiches are also exquisite

c. b.
A second visit here this time with friends.had a very nice evening,but have to say a little disappointed with the food this time.first visit we had slices of toasted bread with our cheese platter and a generous slice of roquefort,however the visit this Saturday, we had a miniscule piece of roquefort and a bowl of cracker type biscuits.the friends we a little disappointed with the amount of prawns and mussels they had on their paella.considering we had reserved a table,it wasn't as if we had turned up unexpectedly and it seemed as if they had run out of ingredients to make the dishes special.
M. G.
We turned up without booking and table was found for us. Lovely setting.
E. F.
Very nice little pub right along the river
P. K.
Such a lovely place for Spanish cuisine, a drink or just a coffee in front of the river! Great decoration too.
G. C.
Quiz is great but it's a bit to loud and you can't hear each other but apart from that the bar staff are super friendly it's not to badly priced and the food is good
M. C.
Great location. Fab selection of beers wines and spirits. Food was a little lacklustre.
B. J.
Friendly pub beside the Kennet canal. Good food with Tapas a speciality. Great beers and selection of gins.
J. P.
Great selection of beer & friendly staff & client all & sometimes live music! What's not to like?
T. S.
