Have regular brunches at the playlist, personally not a fan of the newer brunch menu I much preferred the English breakfast option than the burgers but other than that another brilliant night. Ellie behind the bar was fabulous and made sure our drinks were kept filled as our host wasn’t the fastest but she stepped up and was brilliant. And Kelly as always was her usual Vibey self and brought the moves with her always with a smile. Definitely missed Natalie but I’m sure she will be there hyping it up at the next brunch. Always look forward to a good brunch at playlist ,already working out dates for the next one :)

Amazing! Here from Folkestone for Reading Festival and Natalie gave us some vouchers for breakfast. Large full english, two beers and a free shot for less than Wetherspoons pint and a small breakfast. Definitely found our new Reading Festival breakfast spot! Thank you to Kelly for our drinks too! All the staff are welcoming and lovely! Music make the vibes even better ✨

Bottomless brunch was absolutely brilliant. The food was incredible and my food allergies were catered for smoothly. Kelly is the best host ever!!! Fun, attentive to our needs and gave incredible customer service. Nothing was too much trouble.
