Blue Collar Corner — Restaurant in Reading

While Reading is crying out for Street Food spaces like this, I personally didn't think it was that great. With limited seating capacity and no time limit on tables...there is not much hope of eating your food at a table. The music is played way to loud for the average conversation or to hear what the food attendant is saying, the toilets are open and in full view right next to one if the food operators so if you're at one of those tables it's a tad off putting. The permanent food operators have a great menu range, but in my opinion the pizza was average and the guest burger van a rip off. Cool bus, but food was nothing like their insta. Stale bun, forgot sauces and ran out of lettuce. The bar was fine for beers but the gin and tonic was mostly ice, tonic and soda water (weird) Overall though it's a good option for something different...but Blue Collar's weekday set up in market place is way,...

Staff are friendly and very helpful, makes the experience very welcoming. Even when it’s busy there’s plenty of space for you to hang out. The music is a fantastic mix of pop, alternative and easy listening, it’s loud enough to hear it but not too loud you can’t have a conversation with your friends. Upstairs seating area gives a lovely view towards St. Mary’s as well as behind towards the Hexagon. Prices aren’t bad relatively speaking. The house larger is a favourite of mine but there’s plenty to choose from including cocktails The choice of food is excellent. Last time I went I had Japanese duck with rice. I have only been in summer months but there are fire stands for colder months as well as a canopy downstairs. All round absolutely one of my favourite places to go and meet...

Went here and i have to say i had the worst experience ever on a evening out, the guy on the mexican taco stand by the way is was rude, all the traders food was priced more or less restaurant prices only one trader was showing their hygeine rating, one person was picking his nose behined a counter £6.20 for a pint of ale in a dirty glass, the music was gradualy getting louder and louder and it was only 7pm,( so loud i could not hear people on the same table) vegan options are very very limited.

If you want mediocre food try the place at your peril.

I hate writing negative reviews if i could had left no stars i would.

I notice other people have complained about loud music too before...
