The Pantry Café & Kitchen at Reading Town Hall
The Pantry Café takes its name from the popular British restaurant ‘The People’s Pantry’ which opened in December 1940 as a part of a government network of British restaurants. The People’s Pantry located in the arcade opposite the Reading Town Hall. It served hot meals as well as being widely remembered as somewhere to go for tea and it was staffed by the Women’s Voluntary Service.
