Home to L’Ortolan, the beautiful Grade II Michelin starred restaurant and within 3 miles of Green Park business park, Royal Berkshire Hospital and Reading University, Shinfield is popular with executives working in Reading, Basingstoke and along the M4 corridor.
The village is served by a playground, football and tennis clubs along with a medical centre and several pubs. The ever popular Wellington Country Park with its excellent play facilities, riding centre, farm shop and cafe makes for a great day out.
