The Market House

About the venue

A bar, hotel, event space & restaurant situated in the heart of Reading town centre near Reading Train Station.

Designed to impress the Market House, once an historic Lloyds Bank, has been transformed into an industrial chic venue with bars, food kitchen, hotel rooms & plenty of spaces to hire for both private parties & corporate events. Boasting a roof top bar & terrace and a 400 capacity Market Hall, The Market House caters for cocktail lovers, beer enthusiasts and even those who prefer the fate of the barman’s recommendation. Love sourdough pizza? Well so do we! Freshly rolled sourdough pizza and side nibbles made to tantalise the tastebuds. Our chefs also make a mean burger & are experts at brunch too. Maintaining some of the old building’s features, the Market House has multiple area’s which can be hired out privately or enjoyed amongst new friends. Be it a roof terrace bar or an old bank vault, we really can provide the perfect setting for your next event or function. With 24 uniquely and individually decorated hotel rooms, we are a hotel unlike any other. Our boutique hotel boasts all the usual amenities as well as some quirks and touches you wont find anywhere else. We are less than 5 minute walk to the train station, 3 minutes from Reading Abbey Ruins, 10 minutes from the river Thames and quite literally a stones throw from all the bright lights & bars of the City Centre.
