Speckled Hen Cottage Pub - Brewpub in Reading - 30 S 4th St, USA

A gem of a cottage in downtown Reading. Dim lighting and a fire burning make me feel like i am in the Scottish Countryside. The food was nice. The wedge salad was fantastic. The Scotch egg makes a nice salad protein. Fantastic service and live music. Garlic fries... way too much of what I assume was garlic oil.

A delightful little pub, great food, and friendly staff. I really enjoyed the quaint atmosphere! Indefinitely recommend this place for a relaxing evening during the dark winter nights.

We were amazed when we arrived not knowing anything about this gem in the middle of downtown Reading. This 18th century establishment is awesome and the food and staff is absolutely top notch in every way. We cannot wait to return!!

Nice place to eat. Friendly staff with good food. Scotch eggs and Shepard pie are winners. Prices are reasonable as well.

We very much enjoyed the ambiance of the restaurant. Very rustic with two working fireplaces. The staff was very attentive. The food was okay but nothing to write home about. I decided to go with the seafood mac and cheese. I had noticed that four other guests had ordered it and guessed that it was that good. I was extremely disappointed. There was no flavor to the dish and it appeared that some of the seafood was undercooked. We did enjoy the evening but it wasn't because of the food.

First time visiting here. Pleased to say, not disappointed! Greeted by Judy the owner of this quaint pub/cottage type setting who made you feel right at home as she built a fire in a real fireplace! Wait staff very friendly. Quality of menu selections were excellent! Next visit we're eager to dine upstairs at Judy's on Cherry!

I kept seeing commercials on tv and thought I want to eat there. The place is beautiful inside and out. Warm atmosphere. Our server was Shelby. She was awesome! Polite, kind, and attentive. My Fiancé and I ordered the Pub Burger and the Flat Iron Steak. It was served exactly how we ordered and it was delicious! For dessert we had the Warm Apple Crisp with Home Made Cinnamon Ice Cream. Again delicious! I can't wait to go back!

“Excellent dinner” We ate dinner here on a Friday night. The service was excellent. The short ribs were tender and the flavor was outstanding. My husband's filet was perfectly cooked. Don't save this restaurant for special occasions - it is too good to visit only a couple times a year.
