Best pub in and around Reading. Proper home cooked food, great service, and real friendly atmosphere like the old days in pubs were. This place is a little hidden gem.

Good local pub on two sides with great food and great ale. Visit many times over the years and it's always consistent. Decent sized car park and amusing plaques in the loo! May be at few accessibility issues due to the age of the building. Chilli burger and sausages are superb!

True independent with fantastic food and coffee. Best coleslaw on earth. Relaxed atmosphere of a traditional pub with great staff.
Loads of parking and large outdoors eating area with free wi-fi. Dog friendly.

Very welcoming and charming old character pub with old style decor to match. Food is served in good time and is what I call great comfort food. There is plenty of parking and split rooms to choose from, one more of a traditional quieter salon and the other a more open bar.

Lovely well kept old fashioned pub with lots of wonderfully kept cask conditioned real ales. Don't come here if you want modern or posh or upmarket however if you're after a proper public house with real nice bar staff and beer kept at its best then this is the place for you!

Love the service and the food. Jenny makes the best Irish stew outside of Ireland and her cheesy chips with chili mayo are lush! Also love that the London Irish fans are welcomed.
