On Richfield Avenue go left towards Caversham Road, at the roundabout turn right. The store is about 400 yards down the road at the big roundabout

Tescos

You may see that there is a new Tesco’s on the Portman Road/Oxford Road but we would advise that you continue to get the free boat service from green gate to the older Tescos at Kings Meadow, as the pedestrian route to the new Portman Road Tesco is quite long and dark at night.

Food Traders

Every year our food traders are inspected and monitored by Reading Borough Council Environmental Officers and this year they will be awarded a star rating that will be on show and so you will be able to see how has been awarded the highest food safety rating. 5 is the highest and 0 is the lowest.
