Anyone know of a good cafe for breakfast near the lake, fishing 3 nights next week. Fished it a few years back and found a good cafe but forgot the name, thanks.

The Bridge cafe opposite the Cunning Man pub not so sure it's still open. The Mortimer Cafe is not far about 5 mins by car.

Up to Burghfield Common you have a Tesco Express, Co Op, Nisa and a bakery there is also an Esso with a Spar although only a small one. Head the other way towards Reading up the Burghfield Road on the A4 there is an Aldi and Lidl ( next door to each other) and another Esso with a decent Tesco's. Blue pool is about the same time to each of them.
Next to the Co Op is a take away pizza shop that will take phone orders for collection they don't do delivery.

Forgot to ask, would I get away using bank sticks or would I need to bring my pod?
Hoping the rain soften the ground by now ☺️
