We have received much media attention, here are some extracts:
“We wanted to say a big thank you for all the excellent service we recieved from you on Pepsico’s evening meal. Everyone was very happy with the food, the service, and the surroundings. ”
Many Thanks

Dear Forbury’s,
I juts wanted to say thank you for a wonderful evening last Sunday. The attandees were especally excited about the executive opening for the Microsoft Dinner.
The service was flawless, the food was amazing and I had some wonderful comments from our overseas guests.
I have already recommended you to all my colleagues and am looking forward to our next visit

Dear Chef,
Just a short note to say how very much Meredith and I enjoyed ourselves yesterday.
It was so much more than we expected- we didn’t know it would just be us actually being with you in the kitchen!
Such a great experience and your staff were so nice- all very friendly and welcoming.
We felt very comfortable in the kitchen. Both of us learned a lot and our lunch was wonderful – I don’t think either of us have eaten quite so much is one sitting before – I don’t think we realised that we were actually going to get everything that you showed us for lunch.
The dessert and the plate were a picture –looked like Rennie Mackintosh picture.
Thanks again-we will definitely be recommending the experience -
think it is the best Christmas present I have ever had.Best wishes,
Pat Potts
I just wanted to say what a wonderful evening we had dining with you last night.
The service was flawless, the food was divine and most beautifully presented especially the Lemon Posset. My friends and I had such a lovely evening and really felt looked after.
I have no hesitation in recommending you to all my friends and am looking forward to my next visit.Cara Wheeley
Just again to thank you all for pushing the boat out for Mike’s Mum yesterday. She especially liked the cake. She even fretted about how to share it amongst 5 but you can be sure we made her eat it all herself.
Regards,
Rob and Mike
The food here really is excellent and the market menu means that even us student food-lovers can enjoy this dining experience. Staff here are also really professional and attentive – a lovely experience!

My friend and I dined on Tuesday evening, and I must say the food was marvellous, the wine superb and the service was faultless. Thank you very much for such a pleasant evening.

I took my god-son to lunch at Forbury’s yesterday, and write now to thank you, and tell you how very impressed I was. The food was excellent and remarkable value, the service faultlessly courteous and proper. I shall certainly recommend you, without reservation, and I hope to come again soon.
Best wishes,
John Bradshaw
We had lunch with you yesterday, having been recommended by my partner who owns a salon, Harrington, in Reading. The standard of the food was very good, the service impeccable and the value for money excellent. We all four thoroughly enjoyed the experience, and I only wish that I lived nearer. Thank you.

One of the best dining experiences I have had. The service was excellent and great team work throughout the restaurant. Loved the Malbec! I will fly my wife over from Texas for a visit especially to Forbury’s. If you can’t be home for the Holidays, be somewhere like home. Thanks for making me feel at home. Happy holidays.
We came for a delightful dinner last Friday with my cousin Shaw Edwards and you kindly gave a recommendation of wine to accompany the cheesecake. As I mentioned, my son, Olly Smith (www.ollysmith.com) is a wine expert and has been hosting the “Food in the Park” event in London during the last four days and I know he would be fascinated to try the wine. I wonder if you could suggest a source, where I would be able to purchase it. Or, maybe you would be willing to let me buy one from your restaurant stock.
Thank you again, for a most enjoyable evening,
We will be back!With very good wishes,
John Smith
I am writing regarding yesterday’s meal at your restaurant. I took my husband there for his birthday meal and we both were so delighted with everything. The welcoming, the service and food – was just incredible.
The pig’s trotter was just so delicious. I am definately happy with my choice of the restaurant and would highly recommend it to others.Iveta Parravani
I would just like to thank you for a lovely meal I had with you on 7th June, there were 4 of us in the party celebrating a birthday, and we all enjoy the food and the service immensely.
It is nice to be able to thank people for good work, rather than always complaining about bad work, so well done for a lovely evening, hard working staff and impressive décor.
I look forward to a return visit soon.Gill
I just want to thank you very much indeed for our superb meal last night celebrating our friend’s birthday in your special room. The dinner was absolutely delicious and you are undoubtedly worthy of a Michelin star before long. We all loved it and your very nice staff looked after us extremely well -a truly excellent meal. Thank you also for the champagne which was very kind and much appreciated. We will, indeed, sing your praises from the rooftops to all our friends! – somehow you need to get the PR machine going more with all the money around Henley and area as we didn’t know of your restaurant until we met you at the Henley Food Festival – however, this usually moves fast with reputation I think.
…and no mention of previous phone calls as you suggested.
Thank you again for a very memorable dinner.
Best wishes from me and the 7 other lucky people!Louise (Binney)
I would like to compliment you on your restaurant. Firstly the staff are excellent giving knowledgeable advice and super service. Secondly, the food and wine we have had on two visits was superb. Thirdly, Quality and flavour earns its price… we have had (elsewhere) rubbish food and service for £30 per head. You set the standard as the best in Reading… be patient!
Fourthly, the secure parking service is just a brilliant plus.
Fifth. You should adopt the real French cheese-board principle!

Had a meal at Forbury’s last night and I must say it was one of the nicest meals I’ve ever had!! The service was amazing and despite how quiet it was the atmosphere was great. Reading really needed a place like this so well done! I will most definitely tell all my friends and colleagues to visit and will return very soon!
Thank you very much for your reply and for changing the information on your website so quickly. I am really pleased to hear you do already offer vegetarian dishes! I look forward to visiting your restaurant in the near future.
My daughter and I tried out your restaurant yesterday lunch time and I would like to say it was great!
The food was absolutely superb, both in quality and presentation. The waiting staff were very attentive without “being in your face”. The meal was finished with a wonderfully frothy cappuccino and a most fantastically presented slate of petits fours.
The whole experience was one of great food and a very ambient atmosphere.
I am PA to the Chairman of a small group of four restaurants and have told them all about my experience and they are eager to try you out themselves!
Please thank your chefs and staff for making our first visit very pleasurable and you can be assured we will return.
Dear Xavier, I am writing to say how much I enjoyed my dinner last night and how impressed I was with Forbury’s.
You are to be congratulated on establishing a restaurant of real class in Reading and where discriminating people can enjoy serious gastronomy/wine in a very elegant, stylish and sophisticated ambience.
I believe, that Forbury’s arrival marks a significant turning-point in the most recent history and social life of reading, in both elevating Reading as a town-cum-city and expanding people’s horizons: Forbury’s Restaurant is a direct challenge to the mediocrity and pedestrian quality on the majority of the restaurants/hotels in Reading and the predominance of bars – which is a good thing for hopefully more refinement and class in Reading will signal the end of the yob culture!In conclusion, I look forward to seeing you again and wish Forbury’s Restaurant every continued success.
With kindest regards and all good wishes.
