Such lovely people that work here! Been coming for years and have never been let down. Do an incredible gluten free range for celiacs like myself, as well as the best ice cream in the world. Would 100% recommend.

We were really impressed with the options for Gluten Free it was bigger than most restaurants offer will defo bring my mum here (who is celiac). The tapas I ate was all really yummy and good value for money and good children's portions too.
Visited after the rebrand and had a mixed visit. The full English was lovely and as a coeliac I was well catered for with the server checking with the kitchen regarding my questions. Ingredients of high quality. Found the pricing quite steep - £1 extra for soya milk, making a flat white £4.90, £16 for a breakfast, which made me decide not to get a sweet treat as a takeaway. Service was slow, we had to visit the counter to ask if we could place our order.
Leonor was absolutely AMAZING, she was so friendly and smiley and nothing was too much trouble for our family of 4! I am gluten free and the staff were very knowledgeable about what dishes contained gluten and wheat. And the food was delicious served hot with so much flavour and exactly as described in the menu - highly recommend the sticky pig pizza
Our family had a great meal! Thank you :)
Fantastic freshly cooked food. Locally sourced. Excellent service.
Loads of choices for celiacs. ( gluten free) including GF beer.
Fantastic lunch today. I recommend booking to avoid disappointment. You don't want to miss this place. Love it!!
Nice cafe. I was attracted here for a small number of allergy free items available. There’s usually a gluten free egg and cress roll, premade salad boxes, fruit, vegetable sticks packs and crisps that I can eat here. It can get busy here though at peak times. Nice staff, professional. Good location near town centre, the gym, the cinema, Goggling squid restaurant and plenty of parking nearby.
Amazing staff, very very good food, well worth the price and very accommodating for allergies and intolerances (we had one coeliac - gluten free, and they made the food perfectly)
Lovely desserts as well!
Would love to visit again soon!
Myself and 20 colleagues went to the Stables for afternoon tea to celebrate two milestone birthdays.
The staff were fantastic, they dealt with all our queries quickly and professionally, even when we had to order an extra afternoon tea. They moved chairs for us and were very friendly. I'm sure having such a large group was a challenge but you couldn't tell.
The food was fantastic, the sandwiches could have been slightly bigger. The scones were warm and delicious and the brownie melted in your mouth. There was a lot of choice. They catered for vegetarian and Gluten free dietary requirements.
Everyone said what a lovely time they'd had. Thank you very much for making it a lovely afternoon.
I've only been there for the tapas but will try mains soon. The food is authentic Spanish and absolutely lovely tasting. The staff are very friendly and helpful, I had my little one and they were so accommodating. The also have Gluten Free labelled clearly on the menu
01/02/25 - UPDATE FOR GROUP BOOKING
A big group of us went for my husband's birthday (21 in total) we had set menu and some had a la carte. I created a spreadsheet for the restaurant to outline dietary requirements (gluten and dairy free) and how many adults/children etc, to which they were extremely accommodating. The service and food was absolutely brilliant and no issues. However, the only thing I would say is the portion sizes of the pork belly and paella were small. There was only one thin rasher of the pork belly for each person and it would've been nice to have at least two. Also there were only two paellas, I think three would've been perfect. It just fell a bit short of food for everyone to be full.
A lot to be said about Characters, good tasting coffee is what you need and they’ve got.
Note has some Gluten free and allergy options here at Characters cafe Wokingham. So added to my radar for the gluten free trail. Also jacket potato variations on the menu - favourite. Friendly staff willing to help and serve. Looks like a family run independent cafe with everyone working to make this a decent place to take a break, refuel and a respite from the cold, wet, rain or wind. I’ve always approve of supporting the independents.
