Welcome to Wokingham
Welcome
to this the inWokingham.com
series of local guides.
We wish all our visitors a Happy New 2009, a real year of Change is predicted.
This guide evolved from our printed directory, when changes came so thick and fast that the printing schedule just couldn't keep up. So we now present the web version styled to help you search online or print out as a pocket guide. Our latest style changes reflex the needs of the mobile visitor. Bandwidth ligher pages are delivered to those visiting from known mobile browsers. We continue to improve the site, suggestions are always welcome.
Wokingham shopping is shopping on a boutique level, we have some supermarkets but when it comes to those little luxuries that make life special, Wokingham has many treats available. Relaxing, meeting up and leisure in Wokingham has become a wealth of choices over the past 15 years. Previously known as having the most pubs per head of population, Wokingham has evolved as the population of Southern England has changed in make-up and attitude. The style of Wokingham is a contrast to Reading & Bracknell town centres, and complimentary in many ways.
On the next few pages we list the places to chill-out, be pampered
in, or to host your wining, dining or partying when in and around
Wokingham.
If you are planning a family get-together or have
something special to celebrate we aim to guide you in finding a
venue to match the mood & budget. Well respected places
like Sorrento, Ruchetta & Miltons fill up quickly at holiday times.
We continue with our research into the hospitality of Wokingham, we will note the highlights as we find them. We have no affiliation with any of the places listed and aim to list all those in and around the town centre and some a little further out. We are, however, very pleased to be associated with Amazon who will highlight selected products within the guide.
After the New Year burst, places are much quieter and discount specials can often be found at Wokingham eateries. Eating out of a
newspaper used to be the stock in trade of the Fish & Chip
business, but look out for the discount promotions that run in
several national newspapers over the year, some require vouchers, but these are often available for printing off via the web, others will just require you to quote the publication.
Last but not least, we have added a page hightlighting the
listed pubs and eateries that also have accommodation in additition to our comprehensive listing to help you appreciate Wokingham's choice of over 65 eateries and drinkeries.
Do you have a problem choosing a gift for a family member or friend? They probably have everything they want, but you do not want to sent a gift certificate or voucher. Well I have the same problem and I recalled that Amazon offer a Wishlist service. So I suggested that my brother, who already uses Amazon, update his wishlist. Then I logged in and selected some items up to my budget, in fact I got extra because they were offering free shipping over £15 and by adding one extra small item I was able to take advantage of the free shipping and give a bonus present for no extra., what a deal!
It can be helpful to visit the manufactures or other review websites for the nitty-gritty lowdown on some products, especially it you are the first the review the item, but many times there is a raft of opinions on the product or gift already up on the Amazon site. I am selecting some items and providing direct links from this site to help you out. As we have UK, US & Worldwide visitors some links will go to Amazon.com and these show the prices in US Dollars. You can also use these links to send gift certificates via email to friends and family, or just buy the item yourself and have it shipped for you direct within the US and territories.
