Culinary Delights Await: Our Best-Loved Menu Offerings

Bibimbap

Embodying the epitome of the perfect balance between taste and nutrition, Bibimbap is a traditional Korean dish that has stood the test of time. With roots tracing back to the annals of Korean kings as "bubimbap", it was once a light meal fit for royalty. Today, it is one of the most beloved and popular dishes in Korea, known for its harmonious blend of various ingredients in one delectable bowl. At Coconut Bar & Kitchen, we are proud to bring to you our own take on this iconic dish. Our Bibimbap is made with the finest and freshest ingredient.

And with three tantalising options to choose from - chicken, beef, and vegetable - you can customise your Bibimbap to suit your personal taste preferences. Whether you're a fan of the classic flavour of tender chicken or the rich, savoury taste of juicy beef, we've got you covered. And for our vegetarian diners, the vegetable option is packed with flavour and nutrition.

Pad Thai Noodle

Pad Thai Noodle is a classic Thai dish that is sure to tantalise your taste buds! This delectable dish features rice noodles in a sweet tamarind sauce, paired with the crunch of Choi sum, the freshness of bean sprouts, the pungent flavour of red onions, and the richness of egg. To top it off, the dish is finished with a sprinkle of roasted peanuts and a squeeze of lime for an added zing of flavour. Our Pad Thai Noodle is a true celebration of the best of Thai cuisine, offering a harmonious balance of sweet, sour, salty, and spicy flavours.

In addition to the Bibimbap and Pad Thai Noodle, we have a wide variety of dishes to choose from in our main menu. From succulent seafood to hearty meat dishes, we have something for everyone. However, we understand that some customers may have specific dietary requirements and allergies, and we are committed to accommodating those needs. If you have any allergies or food preferences, please let our server know and we will do our best to make your dining experience with us a pleasant one.

Raise a Glass to Love: Our Signature Valentine's Day Cocktails

To add to the evening, our bar team has created two delectable cocktails, exclusively for this occasion. Whether you're looking to start the night with a drink or find the perfect accompaniment to your meal, these cocktails are sure to make an impression.

Our Valentine's Day Specials

The first cocktail, ROM COM, is a sophisticated blend of Finlandia vodka, passion fruit, lemon, Prosecco, and raspberry sorbet. The combination of bright and tangy flavours results in a truly enjoyable drink. The passion fruit and lemon add a tartness, while the Prosecco and raspberry sorbet bring a touch of sweetness.

The second cocktail, Love and Thunder, is a playful tropical blend of Bacardi Carta Blanca rum, Blue Curacao, coconut, lime, pineapple, and Asgard dust. Perfect for those who love sweet and fruity flavours, coconut and pineapple offer a taste of the tropics, while the Blue Curacao adds a pop of colour. The lime brings a tang, and the Asgard dust adds a unique twist.

Here’s a recent review from one of our fabulous guests:

 Great lunch.  Visited for the first time today with my wife for lunch and we were very impressed. The lunch menu has loads to choose from at very reasonable prices.
We had a Beef Bibimbap and a Prawn Katsu Curry and we both really enjoyed our choices. Served piping hot and well presented and we did not have to wait long. Very pleasant attentive staff and nice surroundings as well.
We will certainly be coming back and would highly recommend it if you are in Reading one lunchtime and want to try something a bit different without getting fleeced with an extortionate bill.

There’s really not much we can add to that! Thank you Brian for taking the time to mention us. We really do appreciate it and so glad you had such a great time with us.

And, on the subject of our brilliant kitchen staff, our EMPLOYEE OF THE MONTH award for JUNE went to Rico Costa for all his hard work. Well done Rico, well deserved recognition. Keep up the great work!

Thank you for reading our blog. We hope that you come and see us very soon.

Gym? Oh, I thought you said gin.

And as it’s WORLD GIN DAY on Saturday 8th June that’s a very good reason to enjoy a glass or two. The gym can wait!

At our cocktail bar and kitchen we will certainly be acknowledging the occasion. With our range of fine gin brands, each served with their own specific garnish, you will be able to try a few and find your favourite combination. Maybe you prefer cocktails? We have a great selection featuring gin as the protagonist. Our Tokyo Tumbler stimulates the senses with a mixture of gin, plum wine and ginger beer amongst its ingredients whilst the ever popular gin based Sexyback tantalises the taste buds with flavours of peach, elderflower, apple and ginger ale. With so many cocktails to try it’s best to arrive early and don’t forget our HAPPY HOURS are 4:30pm – 7pm every Friday and Saturday and 4:30pm – 9pm Monday to Thursday when you can enjoy many of our cocktails at a reduced price. In addition to our happy hours and amazing cocktails, on a Friday and Saturday night our live DJ provides you with great music until the small hours. A ready-made party!

Visit Coconut Bar and Kitchen on a Tuesday and you can enjoy 2 glorious Gin and Tonics for just £10 or enjoy other offers throughout the week in our Weekly Deals.

Don’t forget that Sunday 16th June is Father’s Day. In honour of Dads everywhere we are offering 4 Coronas for £10, as a special treat, on our Sunday Brunch menu, just for Father’s Day.

Please don’t forget to book as soon as you can for Father’s Day, or any weekend evening if you wish to eat with us. We are very popular so do get very busy.

Thank you for reading and we hope to see you very soon!

Friends don’t let friends drink Prosecco alone….

….so be a really good friend and get together with your besties for some bubbles. At our cocktail bar and restaurant we offer the perfect venue, whatever the weather. When the sun is shining, sit outside on our terrace, either under the canopy for some gentle shade or in the glorious sunshine. If the weather is less appealing, come inside and sit in our bar area, with its tropical feel and chilled vibe.

Prosecco has been carefully chosen by the experts at Coconut Bar and Kitchen and is delicious. An extra dry fizz with stoned fruit and citrus flavours giving it an exquisite, refreshing taste. What’s more, come in for SUNDAY BRUNCH, and for just £25 you can enjoy 2 Asian tapas and bottomless Prosecco for TWO HOURS.  And, at just £5.50 per glass, when you dine from our lunchtime menu (excluding bank holidays), it’s just too good an offer to refuse.

Of course, many of our fabulous cocktails are mixed with this sparkling sensation. Classics like the Kir Royale and Bellini are both available in our happy hour at just £5.50, and our Pornstar Martini, with its own little shot of Prosecco, is not only available in happy hour at a special price but also has a night of its own every Thursday.

Maybe you fancy having a go at being a mixologist?  Book a COCKTAIL MASTERCLASS and learn how to create your favourite cocktail. Our Classic and Premier packages include a glass of Prosecco on arrival.

Take a look at our website for more information about our cocktail masterclasses http://www.coconutbarkitchen.co.uk/#cocktail-masterclass
