"We aren’t local and stopped here for a light lunch before attending a funeral at Reading Crematorium. Firstly, the pub is large and has a cosy atmosphere. The menu is large and provides a variety of different options, including a separate lunch menu which is available Mondays to Fridays. Three out of the for of our party opted for the bacon and cheese burger. I also opted to swap my chips for a salad. I have recently been in the habit of avoiding burgers in pubs because of the latest trend in using sweet brioche buns and smearing everything with “chorizo chutney” or the ubiquitous Nduja. Because these burgers are served in actual sesame buns and weren’t adulterated with anything that didn’t belong like caramelised onion jam, I decided to risk it! I wasn’t disappointed. I had a decent juicy patty, decent cheese that didn’t look or taste like it had been squirted out of an aerosol can, nice onion rings, and a thoughtfully prepared and dressed salad. It was a better than usual pub burger and was exactly the right amount of food. The chips also looked nice and crunchy and nobody had any complaints. My husband went for the wild boar sausages and mash, which looked very nice and he enjoyed. Thanks to Bonnie who served us."

We like to go to The Griffin Pub every time we come to the Caversham. The food is always delicious and the portions generous. Our waiter, Lucian, was great! Very friendly and had a lot of nice recommendations. We would highly recommend it to everyone!!

Myself, my husband, daughter and granddaughter went for a evening meal, 10th Feb. Our waiter for the evening was Lucian, such a lovely man, very patient, he couldn't do enough for us, had such a lovely smile. The Griffin is a great pub to have a meal or just a drink, everyone is so friendly

Group of us often visit the griffin on a Sunday morning post run, and we’re always greeted with a very happy and welcoming Lucian. Nothing is ever too much trouble. The coffee is great, and the food has always been fantastic. I’d definitely recommend the smoked salmon and egg! Thank you, Lucian!

I booked a table at The Griffin for a business meeting to save both parties making a trip into London. I arrived early and the fantastic Lucian made me coffee and gave me some space to wait. His service and attention to detail was fantastic, the atmosphere was friendly and welcoming. The food was amazing in both presentation and taste and great value. One of the best meals I have had in a long while and much better than restaurants who would charge triple the price! Lucian's service was of the highest standard and I can not recommend The Griffin any higher. I will certainly be returning!!!
