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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
