6 Food Stops in Caversham Worth a Visit

27th January 2026

Caversham’s food scene quietly punches above its weight. Full of global flavours and hidden gems worth travelling for, this side of Reading is packed with independent spots that locals love and visitors should definitely know about. If you’re planning a wander over the bridge, make sure these six food stops are on your radar. 

Vegivores

Vegivores proves that plant-based food can be bold, indulgent and full of flavour. With a creative menu that appeals to vegans and non-vegans alike, this popular spot has built a loyal following thanks to its seriously good food. 

Stop and Taste

A little further out in Emmer Green, Stop and Taste is well worth the journey — especially for one standout dish. Their lobster roll has become something of a local legend, drawing food lovers from across Reading for a taste. 

Clays 

If you love spice and slow-cooked depth of flavour, Clays Kitchen & Bar is a must-visit. Specialising in Hyderabadi cuisine, this restaurant is particularly known for its rich, aromatic dishes that showcase traditional cooking techniques and bold seasoning. 

Serdio Ibérico

Part deli, part foodie destination, Serdio Ibérico is a slice of Spain in Caversham. While their cured meats and deli produce are reason enough to visit, those in the know head straight for the blue cheese cheesecake — a surprising and unforgettable treat. 

Geo Cafe

Something a little different, Geo Cafe brings the flavours of Georgia to Reading. From traditional dishes to comforting baked specialities, it’s a brilliant spot for anyone keen to try something new and explore a lesser-known cuisine. 

Good Old Days

A go-to for comforting Cantonese classics, Good Old Days is all about generous portions and authentic flavours. Whether you’re popping in for a sit-down meal or grabbing a takeaway, expect familiar favourites done well — the kind of place that keeps people coming back time and time again. 

Caversham has you covered, whether you’re after a casual bite or a standout dish worth travelling for. It’s proof that some of Reading’s best food experiences are waiting just beyond the town centre.
