The Moderation

A great place to eat in Reading. I highly recommend it. There are many choices for having a meal in Reading near the Caversham Bridge. Several on both sides of the bridge. I have tried many of them when I was visiting. I tried this particular one the first time and came back 3 times in a week. It is located at the southwest corner of A4155 and Randolph Road. The only parking seems to be street parking but it is easily walkable for the area. It is a very nice pub-like atmosphere with Tables in front, inside, and out back of the building in a courtyard. The seating is a variety of options from 4-seat arrangements and bench seating to large outdoor picnic styles under a tent. The inside is wood floors with a bar. The staff was wonderful and helpful. The food and drink came out quickly. They have a large menu with a lot of variety. I tried the Sunday roast dinner, the burger, and something like Peking Duck. Every meal I got was delicious. I tried their cider and it was also excellent. Overall, it was excellent every time that I went there. I highly recommend this to anyone in the area hungry for a good meal or looking for a nice place to share a drink.

Not eaten here for a good while (no reason, just busy) but wow !!! What we’ve been missing out on , treated to a meal by my mother in law before our holiday , we returned immediately after we got back for our wedding anniversary- so pleased to see it busy on a Monday night and I can see why. Super friendly, attentive and warm service, and seriously good quality, authentic and stunning food. This is now our go to place for food locally. Couldn’t recommend enough, thank you 🙏🏻

Tricky to describe this place. It's an old belt and braces boozer modernised with an asian fusion restaurant attached. Bags of character, small but well curated range of ales. Very good, sometimes excellent food quality though a little too seafood for my taste. Has a locals vibe and was packed the few times I have been in. Might disappoint if you're looking for high end Thai, but absolutely knocks it out of the park for pub/gastropub fayre. I liked it very much and would recommend you give it a shot on a family/mates night with beers, as portions are generous and flavourful. They even play sports on the screens. Recommended.

What wonderful food choices and really well cooked. As a family we had, Thai sharing platter to start, wow what a start! English and Thai main meals that were generous and tasted great. finishing off with a Moderation Mess that we had to share as well as we were full by that stage. Staff were really attentive and cheerful, and lots of family groups of all ages. We will definitely go back again. If you go, I don't think you will be disappointed.'
