The Last Crumb

My experience at The Last Crumb was absolutely fantastic. This place impressed me in several ways and is definitely one of the best restaurants I’ve been to. What caught my attention right away was the variety of seating options: indoor, outdoor, and a beautiful garden area upstairs. Each space had its own charm and atmosphere. The indoor area was beautifully designed with soft lighting and warm, cozy decor that made me feel calm and comfortable. The upstairs garden was also amazing—green, peaceful, and perfect for a relaxing afternoon with friends or family. The staff were incredibly friendly and professional. Everyone greeted us with smiles and took care of everything with great attention and care. The food was excellent. It was so delicious that I completely forgot to take a picture before eating! I only managed to snap a photo after I finished, which says a lot—it was that good! The only thing that could use some improvement was the parking situation. Although there was plenty of space (easily enough for 25 cars), there were no proper markings or lines, so people parked randomly. Because of that, only about 15 cars could fit. Overall, it was an amazing experience, and I was satisfied with everything. Big thanks to the staff for their hard work. I’ll definitely be coming back, and I highly recommend this place to others.

Came to try the burger after reading Edible Reading’s review and was not disappointed except for them that it wasn’t full of customers! Quirky, idiosyncratic pub with a wide range of beer on tap, very friendly staff and I’d love to try the vibe and beer when it’s busy. Double Dodo burger came out fast & piping hot with a smile. I let it cool while munching on the really good chips then bit into the beefy crusty patties in a well-toasted bun. Absolutely fantastic and firmly in the personal ‘one of the best’ category. In a country full of fatphobics, the meat was perfectly juicy and loosely tender, nicely balanced out by the shaved (I assume house-pickled) cukes along with a totally worthy not-overpowering burger sauce and I was honestly transported. I know I’ve gone on a bit but I thoroughly enjoyed this burger & fries experience, probably the best I’ve tried in Reading.

First time had a delicious brunch roll and second time a burger. Good simple food but marketed and prized for the bougie hipster audience. Noise level and layout is comfortable for a peaceful chat while having space to accommodate larger groups. They do have popular live music and quizzes… plan ahead to avoid if you want a quiet time, or plan ahead to ensure you get a spot.

Great selection of beers, friendly staff and an excellent quiz. I have previously been impressed by the food, more interesting than your standard pub fare. The outside space is also very good.

Message to owner: Please consider your chip portion sizes. I love The Last Crumb, staff are always really great and the vibe is top. Love grabbing a few pizzas with the kids. But over the last year or more a portion of chips, £3.50, has been getting to ridiculous small sizes. See the photo, hand on heart I took that snap upon them arriving. Love the pub, strongly recommend but let's keep an eye on fair transactions. Ps. Please keep the smash burger as a permanent menu item it was really amazing.

The hidden garden at the top is the perfect place for a some evening pints outside. The drink selection is okay with some local cask and keg options available (albeit at a slightly inflated price!) Even if you're not sitting outside the pub feels cozy inside, making it not just a summer haunt!

The atmosphere of the pub was great. Loved the quiz night. The food was exceptional and the service was impeccable. Tyler and Carlos specifically made the night memorable. If you're ever passing by, give the place a try. You will not regret it.

A great selection of local beers on tap in a trendy industrial Dodo pub setting. There’s a large roof garden upstairs with pub benches & heated open containers, plus a new large gazebo outside. The handy hatch in the wall is great for all-outdoor contact free ordering. Attracts a busy young/student crowd at times but good, quality beer for all ages. Burgers & pizzas are yummy too. A great sense of community events, like outdoor cinema screening in the summer. Worth a jaunt up the hill to the top end of Prospect Street for a pint.
