Old Bell - Reading

I went to this restaurant because it's conveniently located next to the Premier Inn. They offer a separate vegan menu with a nice variety of starters, main courses, and desserts. The pie with vegetables and roast potatoes was delicious, as was the chocolate tart. Overall, it was a fantastic dining experience.

Nice and relax area. Family atmosphere and friend staff. Perfect place to relax and enjoy of a nice meal

It was my first time at Old Bell. Atmosphere was friendly and feel quite like home. I had 3 meal course. I ordered Prawn cocktail for starter, I was disappointed with the proportion of it but it was lovely. My main course was lasagne. I have to say that was delicious! It's in chef's classic menu so I recommend it. Lastly, I went for something simple for dessert like 3 scoops of chocolate ice cream. It was ordinary, nothing special. I wish they would do like ice cream sundae though.

Weird service. Restaurant was empty yet everyone who waited on us was SO slow and also acted a little strange. You'd think the place was packed to the brim based on the way they were acting. Food wasn't bad, good portions... but the service was just extremely lacking.

We wanted to try English food and the Wokefield Park Hotel recommended the Old Bell. We were pleasantly surprised! The food was very good. We started with the Korean Chicken appetizer. It was tasty. For dinner we had a Meat Pie and the Chicken Tikka. Both were outstanding. The beer and service were also very good. They have a large selection- something for everyone. And their prices were very reasonable. I would definitely return for another good meal.
