Quite a few places in Reading mate.

My favourite 'nice' place is London st Brasserie.... very very good food.

Have you got a car, or are you reliant on train for transport? Any particular cuisine you're after?

Bracknell centre has no restaurants worth recommending. Wokingham town centre is stuffed full of Italian chains and curry houses. Wokingham does have one nice Italian though: Ruchetta - http://www.ruchetta.com/a-la-carte-workingham/

St Annes, is that the one just off London Road, near the A329M roundabout? If so, there's a Loch Fyne on the London Road heading in to Wokingham, you can walk there in under 10 minutes.

Otherwise pop into Reading - there's loads of eateries around the Oracle.

If you want decent pub grub, the Shoulder of Mutton is a bit of a drive but worth the trip. Also the Bull at Barkham used to do decent food, and the Olde Leathern Bottle on Barkham Road (I think).

If you're going to eat curry in Wokingham the Sultan is a good one (market square).

Victoria Arms in Binfield for decent pub food which you'll definitely want during a two week stay - http://www.victoriaarmsbinfield.co.uk/

As others have said Loch Fyne near the A329M roundabout plus Pizza Express etc in Wokingham.

if its 35 per person you could neatly fit in an evening meal at the crown and cushion in minley, will need to book a table though.

if you've a car and are willing to travel 20 mins or so, there's a few decent pubs between Bracknell and Guildford - Pirbright, Wood St Village, Worplesdon, etc.

You could be in Guildford in under 30 mins which has some very nice places. Or Windsor in under 20

Similar to heading into Reading for the Oracle, don't discount the Atrium at Camberley if you don't mind the chains - Chiquito for Mexican, Prezzo, Tapas, and the cinema's pretty good for afters.

Or you could also

The Lookout at Swinley (don't forget your bike and lights).
