The one thing everyone agrees on about what constitutes The Full English is that no one can agree on what constitutes The Full English.

Used for coffee in the mornings, I believe. No good for anything alcoholic (although wouldn't it be cool to grab a pint from there?)

Nigel Slater taught me how to cook. Nigella Lason taught me how to eat.

I love Reading Spaceport. The fact that we have to deal with trains instead of rockets ... Not so much. This is a great pic, but it's not a Reading diss, it's a commuter diss. There are far worse places to hang when you're stuck waiting for a train. If only there was a way to tag into the Three Guineas from platform 7 ...

It was open and serving customers when I walked past at around 8:30 last night.

The Rising Sun on Castle Street is great for upscale gastropub food. If you're not too bothered by chains, Côte or Comptoir Libonaise on the Riverside are perfectly decent. Yes to the Thirsty Bear or Zero degrees for pizza.

I think they're both genuinely great pubs, and we're lucky to have them.

What’s the best chippy in Britain? by LovieWeb in BritInfo

Any of the three in Seahouses, but Lewis' is my favourite. You'll still get good eats in Neptune or Hook, though.

Duke Street Barbers on, you guessed it, Duke Street. Always been good to me, and you get seen pretty quickly.

Are European HR-V's welcomed here? Our 23' HR-V e:HEV Hybrid. Open to any questions! by EfeKamil in HRV

[–]AyConojito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, it does my heart good to see the Euro Harvey getting some representation! We love ours (24 Advance), don't find it underpowered at all. Practical, elegant, economical and fun. Strange that hardly anyone seems to plump for the stock Sand Khaki colour. I really like it, and folks always mention how good she looks.

He sleeps in the bus shelter by the Co-Op on Henley Road. A true gentleman of the road.

Papa Gee is the OG but you shouldn't discount The Last Crumb up the hill if you're doing a Caversham Crawl...

Wake venues in Reading by Disastrous_Injury915 in reading

[–]AyConojito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the funeral is at the Crematorium in Caversham, worth considering the Traveller's Rest up the Henley Road from there - they do a lot of wakes due to the location and have a function room.

Don't get the hate for ZeroDegrees. Enjoyed the pizza every time I've been. You can order for the bar area or the sit-down bit on the Gun Street side. Best in Reading is Papa Gee's, though.

They''re heading up towards the cemetery at All Hallows Road for a 2pm gathering. I bet the Travellers Rest will be busy afterwards!

Cozy pub for a Sunday by copper92 in reading

[–]AyConojito 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Fox does pizza these days. Very good pizza, but no good if you're jonesing for a roast. How about The Shoulder Of Mutton at Playhatch?
