As usual, the Sunday buffet offering here is of a very high standard, with a good selection of choices available. Even with the slightly higher price than previously, it's still excellent value.

The position on the river is excellent and has it's own car park. We prefer to walk. Excellent service and good quality food. Never been let down. We often go with friends who are curry connoisseurs who also rate it highly

Food was good, the proprietor was charming, and it's in a really nice river setting. Just don't let them order you a taxi - mine was twice the price of a black-cab, well into the taking-a-liberty domain.

Very nice food, prompt service , drinks & poppadoms were a bit slow to appear and I t was hard getting someone’s attention to reorder drinks. The tables were very close together and it felt like you were encroaching in o,their people at times.

The food was lovely and the ambience was nice, but, on the Saturday evening we went, the service was very, very slow. I would visit again, but perhaps not at a peak time.

Very nice food, however had to wait over an hour for it as we ordered from the menu on a Sunday when they have the buffet. Expensive for drinks, lemonade just poured from a plastic £1:00 bottle and didn't even pour me a full glass. Will visit again as the food is very nice.

It’s been a while since we were at River Spice, and the greeting was as warm & enthusiastic as ever. The food is always so well presented, fresh and made with good quality ingredients. Add that to the prompt yet unhurried service and it makes for a great dining experience. River Spice remains one of our favourite dining spots in Reading. Highly recommended and good value.

Our group had not gone on a Sunday Buffet before and we would thoroughly recommend it especially for anyone who may be venturing into the world of new cuisine as our son was. There was a good choice of dishes plus plenty of sides including lots of vegetarian options. We have eaten here before with friends ordering from the main menu but would definitely say the quality does not diminish on the buffet offerings.

Usually very good service and food but it was very busy so we had to wait for our mains and drinks .They did say at the end they were a couple of staff down so that could be the reason why .Food very good and location excellent Will go back again
