Forbury’s is an award-winning restaurant and wine bar taking pride of place in Reading’s Forbury Square.

The focus here falls on a fusion of French and modern British cuisine, with chefs using seasonal produce to create affordable and fun plates. Menus frequently chop and change, but come on any given day and you’ll likely find an eye-catching A La Carte menu featuring favourites like the lemon sole meuniere, breast of Barbary Duck and a cannon of English lamb. Hearty buffet spreads are also available from £25 per person.

You don’t have to sit down for dinner though, with the team at Forbury’s extending a warm welcome to guests popping in for a crisp glass of wine after work. The wine list is truly comprehensive, and includes great depth of quality from right across the globe.
