Cerise trudges the length and breadth of Berkshire to ensure its diners enjoy the finest produce the county has to offer. Nestled neatly inside the Forbury Hotel, this relaxed yet refined restaurant and bar is a great option for dinner and drinks in the centre of Reading.

Guests have it tough picking between the various mouth-watering options on the a la carte menu. The steamed fillet of lemon sole with crab mousse is a must try, and the herb crusted rack of West Country Lamb is an equally divine palate pleaser. There’s an exhaustive wine list and a similarly varied cocktail card to help wash your food down.

Fancy some alfresco action? Get yourself in the secret garden space when the weather is fine, it comes complete with a pomegranate tree, waterfall feature and outdoor heating. Refined and elegant, Cerise’s afternoon tea package is the perfect way to spoil a loved one.
