About The Climbing Hangar Cafe Reading

Tucked inside a bouldering gym, this is a café that happens to have a climbing wall attached — and it works surprisingly well with kids. The space is genuinely roomy even when busy, so a pram isn't a problem, and there's a pool table and table tennis if nobody's climbing. Sourdough pizza is made in house and gets the loudest praise, along with cheese toasties, wraps, cakes and a solid vegan selection; the coffee-and-cake deal comes in well under chain prices. Staff are consistently warm, high chairs and a kids' menu are sorted, and parking is free. Worth knowing: the food range isn't huge, and the kitchen can occasionally be caught out at quiet moments — one parent waited far longer than quoted, though the team refunded without being asked.
