Biker Chick Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 My best friend lives in Bristol and we live in Kent. The plan is that we are going to meet up on Friday 30th October, but so its fair, we want to meet half way between the two places. Looking at the map Reading seems to be about half way or we could go "down" the country, say Bournemouth way. Soooooo, what I was wondering, have you fantastic Omleteers any suggestions of places of interest that we could spend the day. The idea of sitting in a coffee shop all day isnt of much interest and obviously, we have no idea of what the weather will be like. We are both very keen on chickens (of course), but it doesnt have to be chicken related. We would just like somewhere nice to spend the day but also be able have a good old gossip Thank you in advance. You really are all a wealth of knowledge on this forum.

Willow Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 What sort of things do you both like doing ? Reading has lots of shops & restaurants. Henley is a little out of your way (although not too far) and it's much nicer but very limited shopping. Not much in the way of chickeny places around Reading (unless I've missed them so do tell me if anyone else knows of any) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Valkyrie Posted October 12, 2009 Share Posted October 12, 2009 Suggest you eat inside - the riverside can be quite chilly at this time of year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sue x Oooooooooo - my local! Giraffe is good there, as is Yo Sushi! & there is a great burger place just inside the doors too. Park at the Riverside rather than HolyBrook - its easier to get to when you have finished. Have fun!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted October 13, 2009 Share Posted October 13, 2009 We usually park at the Madjeski stadium and take the park and ride bus in - £2.20 (or used to be) return - free parking otherwise for as long as you like - and it's nearer off the M4 rather than driving to the car parks.
