The Moderation

We were there mainly for dinner and not the pub and were presently surprised as the food was tastier than we expected. I would definitely recommend this place if you love far Eastern cuisine. The service is good, attentive too. It would be 5 stars if we were not given table right next to the toilets.

Unbelievable food. Staff cannot do enough for you and so friendly. Amazing price for the quality. No wonder its always busy. I would always go back

Friendly & welcoming staff, spacious, wide variety of seating area both indoors and outside. The food was delicious with good portions. I would definitely come again!Food: 5/5

Absolutely bloody excellent. Turned up as a party of 4 on a Wednesday, no reservation, plenty of seating and staff friendly. I had salt and pepper squid for starter cooked fresh to order and for main the BEST crispy chilli beef I've ever had. Good spice level. Couldn't finish the huge portion. Incredibly good value food and drinks. We left very happy and would absolutely come back!

…Visited the Mod on a Saturday afternoon for a beer and some food. Good traditional pub. Managed to get a table without booking luckily. The staff were really great. Generally a really good atmosphere. Impressed with the food. I had the calamari for starter then the stir fried rice with chicken and prawn. Decent portions and I thought the food was good. I did have to 'gate crash' a birthday party round the side area to get to the toilets at one point but managed to figure out who the birthday person was and wish them a happy birthday from a completely random stranger. Much to everyone's amusement. Yes great staff. I will go back and recommend the Moderator for sure. Update: Back again for Sunday pint with friends. Nice relaxed vibe. Tip: for parking look for the Crown Plaza hotel car park, there are then 2 pay and display car parks by the riverside to the left of the hotel. 2 hours free parking.

Really nice food here, and has both Thai food and traditional pub food, but it's restaurant quality. Closest car park is next to the hotel, by the river - first two hours are free if you get a ticket. Has outdoor seating covered round the back of the pub as well as the front street seating, and indoor seating too.

Awesome food Ordered the Krapow Gai stir fried chicken with holly basil and it was amazing, properly spicy.

Amazing food. I had the salt and pepper squid and beef rendang. You can request dishes to be spiced up or down. Service was slow and I had to flag the waiting staff to take our order, bring the bill and also to take payment. But they did so quickly when requested. Great atmosphere and perfect for meeting up with friends.

Wonderful pub! In a slightly inconvenient location, however more than makes up for it with the incredible thai food. Clearly all home made, spicy and very tasty. The service is fantastic and attentive too. One of my favourite pubs in Reading. Parking: Difficult parking as there's no car park. There is on road parking but it's a busy road, with locals parking on the road too

Good service from cheerful staff who created a great atmosphere. Ale was also good and I look forward to my next visit. I didn't eat so can't comment on food.Service: 4/5
