"I popped in here yesterday, just to grab a take out coffee to go sit in the park. I got a medium cappucino with chocolate sprinkles. The coffee itself was nice. Shame really, Everything else about my visit was off. I was only in there for minutes, less than 5 minutes but the venue staff definitely made a lasting impression! Today was my first visit will be my last visit to Brown Bag Wokingham. I walked in quite honestly, I probably should have turned around gone elsewhere. As soon as I stepped inside I was hit with an aroma which you don't expect to find in a cafe. It smelt like a charity shop upon walking in. It put me off looking for anything other than just coffee. I went to the counter to be served. I had to wait a minute or so as the two staff were talking to each other. I gave the lady my order. She said a few things back to me but I couldn't hear her. It wasn't noisy in there but she was speaking very quietly with her face directed to the counter so it was difficult to pick up what she was saying or asking. After asking her to please say that again a few times we got there. I ordered medium cappuccino to take away. She did smile a little, more at the counter than at me, but, it was something at least. She passed my order to the guy, who then instantly, didn't appear to know my order. I had to wait a minute or so we He was on his mobile phone. He pulled a cup saucer out. He said something but, same as with the lady, I couldn't hear him. I said I wanted a take out cappucino, medium. Maybe I just don't know how it works in there? I thought it I ordered once that I wouldn't need to ask for the order again. Anyway..I digress. He asked me a few questions, all of which I could not hear so had to ask him to repeat them. Upon asking both servers to repeat what they had said of asked neither one spoke more clearly. I found myself just getting by on picking up the gist of what they were saying. I wish to say, I don't have any hearing issues. I spoke to several people yesterday had no problems at all with hearing people, not any other communication issues. I did enjoy the coffee hut as I said, I won't be going back. Even for a brief exchange I believe it is possible to make a customer feel welcome but I didn't feel that here. And, that aroma. I don't know why it smelled of charity shop but it made me feel the place wasn't very clean."

Always very busy and popular with Wokingham residents. Lots of seating outside and new undercover area. A good place to people watch and enjoy a coffee and cake.

Been a regular for years. Always a pleasant experience. Staff friendly and good value for money. The milkshakes are amazing! As are the cakes (Portuguese tarts are yummy! .

Lots of competition for coffee shops in this town but this shop is often very busy and finding a table can be a challenge. Worth the wait however; good coffee, friendly staff and a welcoming atmosphere.

It's a lovely place to socialise. Very quaint. staff always remember our preferences. It's as clean as it can be considering how busy it is. The staff are nice and the drinks lovely; they accommodate to your requirements. Visualizza piatti

I am a regular at this coffee shop. On this occasion accidentally spilled my coffees on my way to the table and very disappointed that not only did we have to do most of the cleaning up ourselves but also had to pay for two new coffees!

Plenty of coffee shop options in town, but these guys have it nailed. Great coffee, their food is excellent but they really stand out with their customer service. Friendly staff, who work hard but always have time for a chat. Keep up the great work team.

Visited the Brown Bag for a cream tea. We popped in just after the lunch time rush, so finding a place to sit was easy. A good size hot scone with cream and jam and a pot of tea. Well worth the money and the scone was so tasty. The staff were friendly and helpful too. Visualizza piatti

They do some nice items, good selection of sandwiches and salads. However, it often takes way to long to get served. They don't seem to have enough staff at peak times. Also, whoevers job it is to order enough items, needs a talking to. 08.35 on the morning, and already sold out of the days ceaser salads.

I often stop by this restaurant for coffee and a panini during the week, and sometimes to meet up with family on weekends. The place is always bustling from mid-morning through lunchtime, with a diverse range of customers across different age groups. I recently noticed that they have added a new toilet facility, which was a much-needed improvement. One downside is that the milkshakes are quite popular with families, so there are often long lines.

"Posting on behalf of PeterfromSandhurst, who was limited to only review per month. As I was of the people on this visit, I agree with everything that has been said and whole heartedly recommend the Lord Raglan for family visits. On to...the actual review. visit, this time with six people comprising three generations aged (that day) to almost We agreed that we would just keep ordering one or two plates every minute or so and share them so we could all eat the entire menu, a bit at a time. Over hours and plates of food later the results were in, we had eaten the menu! The clear favourite by show of hands (from the little ones and the ladies) was the sticky toffee pudding (no surprises there). Choosing favourites after that was very hard indeed as they were all good. The haddock was excellent with a close dense batter that was both light but substantial (don’t ask me how) and closely hugged the good sized piece of fish. It held heat well, tasted good (both batter and fish) and remained crisp until the last bite despite not rushing to eat it. The chicken (breast pieces in the sharing platter and the smoky spicy thighs dish) were also great. Moist, very tasty but the thighs a tad spicy/smoky for the children (the smoky hit is pretty instant for a kid) but the adults all loved them, the crunchy crusted breast fillets were loved by all. The ribs were moist, delicious, plentiful and fell apart simply by looking at them. The meat board (usually a shared starter) scored highly again with the juicy pork leek sausages beautifully finished with scorched crispy skin just like the very best BBQs can manage but still wonderfully moist inside. Pulled brisket very juicy, still not sure what they use instead of butter but it works perfectly. The Korean chicken burger with kimchi was a hit with my wife (she hadn’t had kimchi before) leaving a nice afterglow without any blast of heat. She just read this and said “The sausages were delicious, I really liked those, next time I go, I am going to have sausage and mash”. Well that’s her bit done. Oh, and by the way, it was steak day (every Thursday it seems), and the steaks come as a package with chips, a sauce choice and a drink (soft or wine etc) at discounted prices, so we had a few of those too. Ordered medium rib eyes, held our breath, and low and behold medium rib eyes arrived (well done chef! And eat your heart out Miller and Carter). So if you are sick to death of places that can’t cook a steak properly, try here. I hadn’t eaten Mac and cheese for years but tried that too and found the cheese was great, had a real intense depth of flavour and lovely grilled crusty edges (that you pick out of your teeth for the next minutes mmmm). If you have the time to spend a few hours mid week with people you love in a quirky but relaxed atmosphere you could do worse than try this tasting menu approach to culinary socialising. The Staff could not have been more accommodating, despite the unconventional nature of our visit. Thank you Beth and Leah, you did an excellent job. I made a couple of remarks on my first visit about how I might improve things if I was permitted to stick my oar in and again. Bang, they had been implemented just two days later. Amazing stuff Lily (boss), you are a star. Any kitchen that consistently turns out dish after dish like this one does, has something going right. See you again soon."
