Wetherspoons' two pubs in Reading are The Hope Tap at 99-105 Friar Street, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 1EP and The Back of Beyond at 104-108 Kings Road, Reading, Berkshire, RG1 3BY. Two of them list a phone number, shown on the cards above alongside the full seven day hours.
The Hope Tap lists step-free access, a licensed outside area, Wi-Fi and TV screens among its facilities, which is the kind of detail that varies pub to pub even though the menu does not. They are named after something local rather than after the chain, as all Wetherspoons pubs are. Reading sits in Berkshire, and the county page lists every other town with a pub. The full pub finder covers the rest of the UK.
The menu here is the national one, so it matches every other Wetherspoons in the country. Breakfast covers the small breakfast at £3.19, and the main menu runs to chicken tikka masala at £10.54 and an 11 inch BBQ chicken pizza at £10.54. Prices are set per pub, so treat these as the national reference rather than as Reading's exact till price. Check the full price list.
The Hope Tap opens 8am - midnight on Mondays and 8am - midnight on Sundays. Breakfast runs from opening to a fixed morning cut off, and the kitchen serves through to the evening after that. The full seven day table is on the cards above, and the opening times guide covers bank holidays.
These pubs do not take table bookings, since Wetherspoons runs first come, first served everywhere. A larger group should plan to arrive early rather than at the busiest hour. Some pubs elsewhere hire out separate rooms, which is the nearest thing to a reservation the chain offers. More on the booking policy.
