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.
We booked the Oakingham Belle for my mothers wake. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. We had booked the gold buffet option with some extras. The food was wonderful and our family and friends said how delicious it was. The choice of dishes was extensive and catered for everyone including gluten free. There was plenty of it too. I would like to thank especially Carly the assistant manager, who liaised with me supporting my booking and Dan the head chef for the wonderful food. Highly recommended venue for small functions.
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.
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!!
We came here as a family of four for breakfast and unfortunately was very disappointed. The service was very slow and the lady serving us was quite vague. My coffee glass and the saucer it was served on was dirty and when I requested the gluten free muffin with my eggs Benedict it was served with a burger bun 😕. We also weren’t even asked how our meal was, she just came over and took payment, not great!

What a disappointment firstly we booked a table when we were shown to it it was a tight squeeze that you could not pull your chair out to sit as it was in the room with a party. They moved us to a different table eventually. We ordered our food 2 hunters type chicken and a gluten free chicken burger. When it was put in front of us the gluten free chicken burger was a patched up stale bread roll with hardly any chicken on it and we had roasted baby potatoes that were not roasted if they were they had been put into the microwave to heat up, that was it no garnish no salad or anything else on the plate. My partner cut into it and it was cold and sent it back and said don’t bother with anything else. Our hunters type chicken was hot but instead of how we have had it there on many occasions it was a chicken thigh looking like it had broken up and the bbq sauce was so sickly sweet that I couldn’t eat it but the other person in the party ate hers even though it was awful because they were hungry. WHAT has happened to this pub we have recommended so many people because it was always lovely it looks like they are cutting corners and charging more. Unfortunately this has put us off and will no longer be visiting it again. What a shame to have gone downhill like that.
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.
Landlady Lili has introduced a new line of pies - loads of different options, and gluten-free versions are coming soon, I'm told. I've tried the steak and mushroom in a peppercorn sauce pie, and can thoroughly recommend. The pastry-to-filling ratio was just right for me, the pastry was nicely cooked and just the right thickness, the steak was tender and fatless, and the peppercorn sauce was subtle but noticeably peppercorn. It came with a jug of gravy which the pie itself didn't need, but which was perfect on the included vegetables and mash (or chips). The only problem was choosing which pie to have in the first place! Thank you BST!
P.S. I've had to edit an earlier review (below) because it seems Google doesn't allow two separate reviews for the same place, even if written a year apart!
Wonderfully chilled Friday lunchtime garden experience... great goats cheese pizza washed down with lovely draught Blue Moon. Thank you :)
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.
I've now had several different hampers made up by Phil and each and everyone has been fantastic.
I've had a gluten free one, a valentines one and a birthday one.
Lovely local produce and lots of wonderful treats.
Phil is so helpful when making up.the hampers for you, really adding a personal touch to each one.
I will be be having many more hampers made up here. Thank you Phil.
Great service! The staff were so friendly and helpful. There wasn’t loads of options for gluten free but the staff were happy to help put a meal together for me from what I wanted.
