Not many viable alternatives in the way of routes from Tothill Services on the A34 to the Ace café.
If the intention is to avoid the M4 :
Routing north of the M4 via Newbury and the A4 to Theale, through Reading, Caversham, Twyford, Maidenhead, Slough (all the interminable traffic lights) is worse than the M4.
Routing South of the M4 via Newbury and the A4 to Theale, Shinfield, Arborfield, Wokingham, Ascot, Windsor, Colnbrook to join the A4 past LHR is not much better!
Both of the alternative routes above would likely take most of 2 hours or more!
I spent 35 years driving from first Pangbourne (from before the M4 was extended beyond Maidenhead Thicket!) then Cold Ash to work out of LHR and there isn't any route, diversion or rat-run that I haven't had to use sometime or other due to some traffic circumstance - they are all bloody awful!!
