This was my first time here with my family . Service was great , food 10/10 and would definitely go back . Only negative I have is that they do not take cash . They should either put the info on their website or put a notice up in the pub so people don’t get caught out . I always prefer to use cash whenever I go

Lovely atmosphere.
Not sure about the decor of the dining room, prefer the bar.
Food had some odd choices but what we ordered was delicious.
Wine list poor.
Wine by the glass awful and the bottle list was average.
Still recommended for a night out locally.

Such a good experience at The Good Reader for Sunday lunch for my partners birthday. We came with an extra person and they were so good about accommodating us. The lady in charge of seating and welcoming guests was fantastic as was the lady who served us. Really good food, great atmosphere and I could even take my dog! Thank you to the team ❤️

Burgers were good.
Staff were friendly
Probably the worst fish I have ever eaten and the beetroot risotto was absolutely swimming in olive oil.
The chef is in well over his head.
Plus 2 adults 4 kids over 300 quid
Defo won’t be back there so many better places local to here
