Amazing the lady who served us was lovely a d topped us up with lots of tea

Venue was lovely , waitress was very friendly and the afternoon tea was lush Thanku

We felt so welcome. Our waitress was delightful and nothing was too much bother. The food was gorgeous. Actually we couldn't eat all of it so we brought some home. And then we had a gin to finish so all in all it was a lovely lovely event highly recommend.

Red letter days no problem. Slug and Lettuce Riverside Reading very poor. Waited 5 minutes to be shown to table no one acknowledged us then chose our own. Sat at table for 5 minutes no one acknowledged us. Went to bar waited approx 4 minutes before finally being acknowledged. During all the time we waited three members of staff glanced at us occasionally, never making eye contact or acknowledging us verbally, although the male member of staff continued his conversation with the couple he'd been speaking to outside the venue, when we first arrived. Please forward this to the Slug and Lettuce Riverside Reading then hopefully the experience won't be like this for another Red letter customer, because unfortunately as the provider of the experience it looks very bad for you. The food was nice but only warm, not hot.
