My archive post today is of one of Reading’s best places for al fresco beer and food. On a day like today, it would be a perfect place to go after work. Yesterday, though, I slummed it in the garden with this and a delivery from Dough Bros. #rdguk

Following its soft launch yesterday, Amo is open opposite Jackson’s Corner. Pizza available by the slice, and very nice it looks too. (I won’t review it in the first month, though, as usual.) #rdguk

A lovely dinner on Saturday at the Bell at Waltham St Lawrence. Not bad going given that there are only four main courses on the menu and they told us minutes after arriving that they’d sold out of my Plan A and Plan B.
My review, from last summer, is here: ediblereading.com/2024/09/20/p...

Finally, in 2025, made it to the Loddon tap room in Dunsden Green on Friday for some enjoyable al fresco pints and a more than half decent fish and chips. Summer is coming. #rdguk

I was meant to be in Bristol this week on a relaxing break, trying out new restaurants and getting some reviews sorted. But plans changed, so now it’s a proper staycation. Nothing for it but to have the best of Reading instead. #rdguk

Reading news: the Food Court, that funny little burger and noodle place opposite the Broad Street Mall, looks like it has been closed for a very long time but still has a sign up which looks like it's putting a brave face on things. #rdguk

It still feels weird plugging my writing on here, but here goes: if you want to read a restaurant review that’s also about how food makes communities better places, and also talks about the unexpected joys of eating with strangers, this might be for you. ediblereading.com/2024/08/09/r...
