About Market House

A social hub situated in the heart of Reading town centre. Designed to impress the Market House, once an historic Lloyds Bank, has been transformed into an industrial chic venue with multiple bars, food kitchen and hotel rooms.


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.


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, function or meeting.

With 23 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. With the highest hotel ratings in Reading centre, the customer reviews speak for themselves!
