Bel and The Dragon in Reading

We went for Sunday roast. We all had the beef one, which was amazing. Really good, probably one of the best I’ve tried. But my reason to probably come back is the tatin tarte… that was something else, it was outstanding… Really nice, can wait to eat it again

Stopped by for a pint and crisps. Very nice decor and atmosphere. Great set of paintings telling the story of Reading in the hall leading to the loos. Definitely visit again for a dining experience next time

Chic atmosphere, on the river. Service was slow even on a Wed night, and 3 of us got "surprises" in our meals... Missing or alternate ingredients than listed without being warned. Tasty, but wouldn't go back.

They were extremely busy for the number of staff on. Service was incredibly slow and many mistakes were made, some items were entirely forgotten. The food was good, the fish was beautifully fresh and the vegetables al dente, if made very plain because they cannot adjust their recipes to cater to allergies. (That said, other dishes were also reported to be rather plain as well). Dessert was excellent. Not unreasonably priced but overall could do a lot better.

Amazing food and great service. The settings are lovely and i happened to work here as an entertainer for a couple's 40th which turned out to be a surprise wedding party! It is a great venue hire as they have a boat outside and the main resturant can easily be transformed into a dance floor!

Fantastic food, although i thought the trout starter was a little short on trout and a bit over powered by the fennel. Ale selection was poor too, but the neckoil on tap was good. The guinea fowl kiev was crunchy moist and delicious worked well with the sprouts. Loved it.

What a find! Lovely homely comfortable room in a warm and welcoming pub / restaurant! Excellent breakfast included in the price. A cut above similarly-priced chain hotels. Would definitely recommend 👌👌👌

Went for a fairly impromptu evening meal with our friends who have a narrow boat temporariky moored here. Very nice - never been before tho knew of it.Fairly small choice but good food recommend sides if not ordering starters.Staff friendly bar had some minor issues with stock esp if bitter drinkers ... but not a problem

Popped in for a Sunday roast and a drink at the bar. A thoroughly enjoyable experience. The food was great, but what really makes this place is the staff. Everyone we interacted with was friendly and welcoming without being overbearing. They are a real asset to this venue.

So I'm not giving it a bad review as the rooms are lovely and it's very peaceful. The staff are amazing very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was lovely. Coffee machine in room is a nice touch.The only thing I would say and the reason I would not stay again is the bed was rock hard I haven't slept at all the room was to warm went to open the window and it's locked.
