The Unicorn - Carta

Great pie and really fantastic starters too. Sticky toffee pudding was one of the best around too. For the area, food is right up there. Lovely atmosphere and faultless service. 5

My husband and I had dinner at The Unicorn and were made to feel very welcome by the staff. The food was delicious and if the weather has been better we could have eaten in the garden.

We are very lucky to have this family pub as our local. Food, beer and service are always excellent. Please don't book a table as it's difficult enough for us to get a table as it is. Ver carta

Called in whilst staying in the area on a Wednesday evening. Pub was quite busy, but a table was available. Good selection on the menu and the staff were very helpful. Ordered the fish and chips. Excellent fish, just right with the batter, but slightly let down by the greasy chips, they really should have been better! Nice atmosphere, and food reasonably priced. Very popular with the locals

We visited as 2 couples on a busy Saturday night, having booked. We were seated straight away and drinks were served swiftly and our order taken in a timely fashion. We were served by the lovely Sam (aka Bob, you had to be there . I love it when the staff are friendly and can play, and Sam was excellent. We had 3 different starters, 4 different mains, and 3 different deserts. The squid starter was lovely, so much so that 2 of our group who have always said they hated squid, tried a bit of mine and really liked it. We had steak, salmon, sole and scampi for mains. All lovely. All in all a pleasant evening.

My boss and I have an after work pint here. The drink selection is comprehensive, with bar snacks hot and cold. The staff are very welcoming and friendly as so many of our pubs used to be. The food though, stunning. Beautifully presented, and every ingredient perfectly cooked. With a Sunday roast to die for and weekly specials to accompany an exciting menu, you won't find a pub doing this level of grub for the money within a thirty mile radius. On top of all this ,the Unicorn offers a very spacious beer garden with undercover seating, child and dog friendly in and out, and has a bus stop right on the front door that links into Reading . Thanks to all the staff there for some truly excellent... Ver carta

Went on 30 December with wife and duaghter as it was our 49th wedding anniversary and had heard great things about the Unicorn including having had an excellent meal there before Covid. Two of three starters were ok but my French Onion soup, despite tasting and smelling ok, had no toast with cheese floating on top. Found some soggy bread under the surface and assumed just an error. But then came the main courses. Wife had ordered a beef burger but what arrived had some sort of inedible pattie that looked and tasted awful with the texture of dog meat. Asked if she had been given a veggie or some such by mistake but only answer was to take cost off the bill. My chicken breast 'served on a bed...

We chose to go here after seeing it on trip advisor. Booked a table as meeting friends, glad we did as the pub is lovely but compact so only a few tables and we’re fully booked this evening. A warm welcome and drinks ordered, we then chose our food, 3 of us had fish and chips (one was dairy free and catered for easily), and 1 person had the whole grain mustard gammon, egg and chips. Amazing chips, more like chunky wedges/chips. Puddings were excellent too and for the dairy allergy one of us the treacle tart with dairy free vanilla ice cream was superb. Only downside was it was a chilly evening and our table was by the door, understand the pub can’t do anything about the weather but shame whe...

Had not visited for some time but, the rumour was that it was very busy and food good and you needed to book...so did for 12.30. Seated quickly by a very pleasant young lady who quickly took our drinks order, delivered it as quickly and then took our order......2 onion soups and a scampi and a pie of the day (steak and ale). Soups arrived after a slight delay.......lots of onion, but no taste of onion; crouton only had sprinkling of cheese Scampi came with lots of fries, but the cold plate was swamped with salad with dressing why serve cold salad with hot food. Disappointingly the steak and ale pie was 'bought in ' and not home made and was sitting on a bed of vegetable and mashed potato in... Ver carta
