Sometimes you know just what you want; great pub food cooked with care. Whether it's hand-battered cod & chips, the gourmet burger, or the ever-popular ‘Brewer's Chicken’, now is the time to rediscover your old favourites. Make sure you try our traditional Sunday roasts with a huge a Yorkshire pudding and unlimited gravy. The food at the Griffin is rooted in traditional British cuisine and the chefs showcase a modern flair with the dishes they produce. The Griffin pub is strategically located on the north bank of the River Thames, close to Caversham Bridge in the historic town of Caversham, incorporated into Reading Borough as recently as 1911. It stands on the outskirts of town, separated from the rest of Reading by the River Thames with access via the Caversham Bridge, a Thames crossing point for over a thousand years. Historically an important ferry crossing, Henry III ordered an oak tree to be sent to the area in 1231 to make a ferry boat.
Amazing atmosphere with friendly staff. Food was prepared with care and attention to presentation. All three courses were exceptional. Would definitely recommend.
One of my favourite places! It’s a very cute and cozy pub, has place for parking next to it, has very friendly and attentive waiters, and finally the food is really lovely (I think they have the best fish and chips in Reading so far)
Really thoroughly enjoyed visiting here! Food was fantastic, service was fab and it was just a lovely family atmosphere. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.
A lovely Sunday roast. The place was heaving at 1300 but was quieter when we sat to eat at 1500. The roast was great value and delicious, only the Yorkshires were overbooked. Very good waiter, Lucian. £4 for a lime cordial seemed excessive. Would recommend overall
Excellent menu. Open most of the day. Great cup of tea too. Just a few minutes from the lovely walk along the Thames. Plenty of parking. Spacious bar and equally spacious eating areas. Nice part of Reading. Close to some interesting shops. Brunch from 9:30. Dinner late into the evening. Some private dining areas you can reserve. We didn't book but luckily got a table early evening. Would recommend you book to be certain. Well worth a try. Great location. Great food. Great atmosphere. Good beer too! Steak & Ale puff pastry pie. 😋 👍🏼 👌🏽
