The wait for food was far too long and lunch was bitterly disappointing. There was supposed to be camembert in the roll, it was impossible to find it there was so little it was laughable, the mustard on the other hand was completely overpowering. My husband had the burger which was also unpleasant with a hard chip of bone in it. We would not eat here again. I felt embarrassed for my son who paid for our meal, otherwise I would have been very vocal about the standard of the food in this restaurant. I'm sorry, I don't like giving bad reviews, but in this instance the bad review was well earned. I do agree the main waiter was very pleasant.

We had a really lovely meal in Cote Reading on Friday (29th September 2025) where we were celebrating my Dad's birthday. Our main waitress was very friendly, attentive, knowledgeable and careful with our orders (we are sometimes a complicated family with requirements) and none of the several changes were missed. The food arrived in good time and was very very tasty. We also had a few mocktails which were very enjoyable. We had another waitress towards the end of the evening who was only into her third week and she brought not only a fantastic, engaging, warm and humorous energy to proceedings but also a surprise birthday mini dessert with candle after the team had evidently spotted it was a birthday do. Ordinarily the singing of happy birthday by waiting staff fills me with cringe, but our waitress lead it and styled it out with a lovely very brief moment of connection with my 77 year old father. The only detractor for me was the acoustics of the venue. As a longish table to seat 9, it was hard to chat easily beyond ones immediate neighbours and by the end of the evening I was relieved to get out of the noise. All in all though - a great visit. Well done and thank you to the team at Cote Reading. Meal type: Dinner Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4
