When you are not just dining, but learning, understanding, connecting, and seeing food through the eyes of the people who create it, the experience in itself becomes immeasurably invaluable.

Set inside The Roseate Reading’s award-winning restaurant, The Reading Room, the only AA Rosette-honoured dining room in town, this is what The Chef’s Table promises- a front-row seat to fine gastronomy, where the most interesting ingredient on your plate might just be the story behind it.

Why a Chef’s Table is Different

Far beyond the menu, the experience brings you closer to the kitchen, to the chef’s philosophy, and to the craft behind each dish.

At The Reading Room, we offer a seasonal tasting menu where every plate celebrates British provenance. Responsibly sourced seafood, fine cuts from certified British farms, and produce that comes with a story of place and season. The experience is the conversation. You’ll interact with the chefs, hear about the inspiration behind the courses, and see how great ingredients are transformed into something unforgettable.

What’s Included

Your evening includes a seven-course tasting menu, more expansive than the usual five-course affair, offering a richer, more layered culinary narrative. Each course builds on the last, thoughtfully paced so you’re never rushed or overwhelmed.

It is all paired with a carefully curated wine flight, designed to complement and not overpower, the flavours. And because this is The Roseate, where experiences are designed to linger, your evening closes with a private cinema screening, the perfect way to savour everything you have just relished.

Who Is This For?

This has been curated for anyone who wants dining and a meal to mean a little more. For couples looking to mark a milestone with unique dining experiences in Reading, friends who want a night out that is more than just about drinks and chatter, or a quiet solo dining experience to relish.

How to Book

The Chef’s Table at the best restaurant in Reading, The Reading Room, is available at £149 per person, including the full seven-course tasting menu, wine pairings, chef interaction, and private cinema experience.
