Who Moved The Goalposts? Crusader Royal When he realises Reading is extremely short of decent places to eat it could throw the whole thing up in the air…..
I’d have pointed him to Munchies for a good old all day breakfast ( but it’s now defunct). Maybe Clay’s for an Indian, Yolk Cafe for a decent brunch or Orwell’s out at Shiplake for something a bit classier. London St Brasserie is ok for standard ‘nice enough’ restaurant grub.
Orwells? Been there twice with friends and both times very average and massively overpriced. The sommelier is good though.
I was in Orwell’s for over 4 fukking hours having a ten course tasting menu on the hottest day of the year last summer. It had been a Christmas present from my folks for my missus and I.
Absolutely not worth 4 hours of anyone’s time and we practically spent at least the last hour in virtual silence. I remember just saying to her “I’ve got nothing left to say. I just want to go home” just as they were serving some yoghurt and muesli bullshit in round 8.
Send the Americans there for making us wait like this. See how they like it.
