The story
Caprice Restaurant & Terrace in Reading serves a dual menu that pairs exceptional modern British cooking with an extensive authentic Indian selection. The kitchen holds two AA Rosettes, a mark of culinary excellence recognized for consistent execution across both traditions. Diners can choose from seasonal British plates or explore spice-forward Indian preparations, all prepared within a fully refreshed dining environment. The straightforward approach lets ingredient quality and technique guide the menu rather than heavy styling.
Step outside onto the dedicated terrace to dine overlooking the hotel’s landscaped podium grounds. The outdoor seating area provides a relaxed setting where natural light complements the vibrant interior palette seen inside. Tables are arranged for comfortable conversation while guests watch the garden change through the seasons. Floor-to-ceiling windows in the adjacent lounge also frame views of the grounds when rain moves in.
The dining room opens from early morning until ten in the evening, accommodating everything from quick business lunches to extended family gatherings. A curated afternoon tea features fresh scones alongside hand-cut sandwiches and baked pastries, paired with brewed tea or coffee. Guests who prefer a longer evening often stay to hear the resident pianist perform in the adjoining Monty’s Bar Lounge. The steady rhythm of live music extends the meal without interrupting the flow.
