Four Points Inn - Reading

We have visited many times and have never been disappointed. We usually have the two course set lunch. Fish and chips, Gammon and chips, Bread and Butter Pudding and Crème Brûlée. Definitely Book so as not to be disappointed. Highly Recommend

What a really lovely place to visit for Sunday Lunch. They were almost fully booked for the Sunday that we wanted to visit as a party of seven but with some juggling around they were able to accommodate us. The pub is lovely, the staff are great, the food is really good quality and tests fresh and local with very generous helpings and a wide selection of options for starters, mains and desserts with a good selection of Gluten Free and Vegetarian options. We found the set menu Sunday Lunch options to be good value for money.

We went in today for lunch and it will definitely be the last time ever. So basically we decided to order the two course lunch meal my brother ordered the gammon and we decided to order the soup aswell as we had my 21 month baby so we decided he could eat the soup and my brother will eat what is left as he doesn't eat alot. The manager basically sent the waitress over to say my 21 month son had to order the adult soup because he is a different person to my brother!!!! So she was basically saying that he could not have the soup as a set menu as that is for my brother only! Like what the hell! She then agreed that they could share the soup but it's only coming out as a starter so therefore she was basically saying If my son is sharing the soup he can eat alone! I am not sure if this woman had a bad day or stressful Christmas but this is no way to treat customers. I was having a meal for £14.95 so we were spending over £30 so I am not sure why she is being so funny over some soup. She was trying to force us to buy a children's meal for £8.00 but my son can not eat that for lunch and this menu is up to 12 years. We took my son out the baby chair which upset him. 2 other customers came up to us and said they understood from our point of view and didn't understand why the manager was being funny about some soup. They said we should not be forced to pay for a kids meal or adult soup for a young toddler. In the end the experience was a Godsend as we had the most amazing meal at the Hare and the Hounds and they could not have been more lovely. They gave my son a kids pack and made us feel so welcome! My son got his soup and they were happy to make him a kids size at a reduced price thank god not every pub is just greedy! Happy ending in the end!

We’ve been to the Four Points many times and it’s our favourite place for an evening meal. The food is excellent along with the service, we’re always greeted with a very warm welcome. It’s a cosy, local atmosphere with a fireplace at one end. One thing to be aware of is that the portions are big save room for pudding if you can!

Excellent pub. Great home cooked food and large portions. Very friendly staff. A hidden Berkshire gem off the beaten track but well worth finding.
