(2388)

Thames Lido is the result of a three-year sympathetic restoration project of a beautiful, historical landmark in Reading: the Edwardian Kings Meadow swimming baths, which first opened in 1902. Tucked away behind a leafy path right by the River Thames, our urban retreat is open to the public all year round. Here you will find a heated pool, hot tub and saunas, as well as massage rooms and an award-winning restaurant which is featured in the Michelin Guide. Visitors to Thames Lido will discover we’re so much more than a pool. The full Thames Lido experience is pure self-indulgence; the perfect venue to reconnect with friends and family, or enjoy quiet, restorative time alone.

As we get into the depths of autumn, we naturally find ourselves craving comforting food and wholesome routines. Our executive chef Pash and his team have created a mouthwatering seasonal menu, filled with hearty, vibrant dishes, combining traditional Greek cooking and seasonal British ingredients. Here are just a few of the latest additions.

Delica pumpkin ravioli is perfectly accompanied with silky, creamy stracciatella & walnut butter with added walnuts for a little bit of crunch.

Stone baked sourdough flatbread with Turkish figs, Aleppo chilli honey, feta & pine nuts

Hortopita- a traditional Greek filo pie. Our version is filled with rainbow chard, aromatic herbs, sultanas and walnuts. Served on a bed of warm, slow cooked vegetables with fresh mizithra cheese.

Yiouvarlakia avgolemono- these traditional Greek meatballs are packed with freshness of dill and lemon sauce, cutting through the richness of the meat. Avgolemono, meaning egg-lemon, giving this dish its creamy white colour.

New season wild mushrooms with brown butter, aged Cornish Gouda & and egg yolk.

Stuffed peppers, a dish found in many Greek tavernas. Or wood roast Romero peppers are filled with slow cooked lamb shoulder & sultana freekeh, served on top of a punchy, garlicky tzatziki and plenty of fresh herbs.

An autumn salad of radicchio, Muscat grapes, ember roast beetroot, hazelnuts & goats curd.

A new month, a new season, a fresh start.

October always feels like a bit of a reset. Cooler air, changing leaves, quieter mornings and a good time to set some new intentions.

Maybe yours is to swim more. Make more time for yourself. Start the day differently. Or just keep doing the things that make you feel good.

Here’s to new beginnings, whatever they look like 🍁
