O'Neill's describes itself as an Irish oasis in the heart of Reading. Renowned for their banging food and drink deals, Irish craic and all-day, yes all-day, brekkie offerings, they're sure to deliver the goods whether you're hungover or just craving breakfast food.
Cosy Club Reading is your weekend HQ. Inside, you'll find plush velvet banquettes, rich patterned carpets, and a menu that takes brunch seriously. Go all-in with The Cosy Butcher's Brunch (pork belly chop, sausages, bacon and eggs any style) or keep things light with smashed avocado on sourdough and poached eggs. Stack of pancakes? Absolutely. Round it out with a bloody mary or Cosy mimosa and you've got yourself a perfect lazy morning.
Brekkie dishes at the Slug and Lettuce's Riverside and Friar Street locations come with a side of bloody marys or mimosas. Tuck into the likes of the full English, stacked brunch burger or piles of pancakes, all while taking in a laid-back atmosphere.
Brewdog have brought their infamous brunch menu to Reading. Kick back with a bloody mary, mimosa or craft beer and dive headfirst into the bar's signature selection of brekkie bites including fried chicken and waffles (an absolute classic), eggs benedict and the veggie haystack.
Sundays are for brunchin' at Coconut Bar and Kitchen, with unique dishes inspired by the vibrant favours of Asia. With plates of tofu salad, satay and shrimp dumplings and unlimited bubbles up for grabs, it's an offer that's hard to turn down.
