Bel & The Dragon Reading

Description

Located on the waterfront of the Kennet and Avon Canal and just a short walk away from the city centre, Bel & The Dragon Reading is a lively and atmospheric restaurant bar. Fab for casual date nights and catch-ups with friends, it's the perfect venue to host any occasion from a romantic meal to a cocktail masterclass or private event. This converted biscuit factory has been beautifully refurbished in keeping with its surroundings and history. It even has its own riverboat, The Majestic Bel, and a beautiful terrace offering waterside views.

The frequently changing menu offers an array of British classics with a twist. We're talking everything from native steak tartare to crab linguine and a sumptuous Sunday roast. Pair your meals with a selection of beer and cocktails. Plus, there's plenty of sweet treats for dessert including a cracking cheese board or warm chocolate brownies.
