12 Of The Best Brunches in Reading

Whether you're celebrating something special or toasting the weekend just because, the Flight Club Brunch Social has got just what you need. Over on Station Hill, you can fling arrows from the oche between pub grub and popping bottles. 

During your two hour sesh, you'll tuck into pizza paddles, beer and prosecco between brilliant games of interactive darts. This epic day out is all yours from just £24.75.

For a Reading brunch with entertainment built in, The Cocktail Club Reading turns things up a notch with its themed bottomless events. Spread across a post-modern ground floor and a booth-filled basement, this spot is known for big nights out, and its brunches follow suit. You'll get 90 minutes of bottomless drinks (prosecco, beer or cocktail jugs), plus a brunch dish like a frankfurter or vegan hotdog served with loaded nachos.

You can also look forward to bingo rounds, live hosts, prizes, and playlists spanning hip hop, RnB, and 00s throwbacks. Whether you're heading to a hip hop brunch, reliving the Y2K era or diving into the unfiltered fun of Hot Girl Bingo, the atmosphere is lively.

In need of your brunch fix? Oh, yes. Then make your way to The Botanist on King Street for its mouthwatering brekky plates. Think smoked trout eggs Benedict or smashed avocado on toast, served alongside a fantastic selection of cocktails, bubbles or hot drinks.

Get down here in December and all your Christmases come at once. The Festive Botanista Bruch gives you any dish plus three drinks for £45 or any dish and bottomless booze for just £55.

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.

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.

Part of the Coppa Club group, The Swan at Streatley is a picturesque spot that serves as a sanctuary for sunset drinks, daytime dining on the river and wholesome classes like sip and paint. If you're in it for the food, the breakfast menu has some real standouts; from green shakshuka to tahini porridge and kefir pancakes with mascarpone and maple glazed bacon.

They're also hosting a yoga brunch this September, which will see you practising breathwork and mindful movement among tranquil surroundings before enjoying herbal teas, fresh-pressed juices and a dish from the menu. 

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.

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.
