Best drinkers pub in Reading. Maze of booths to hide in out the back and lots of great beers on tap on constant rotation.

Good selection of well kept ales, but not very large so easily crowded unless the weather is warm enough to go outside

The pub is a hub for real ales in Reading, the split level interior has several drinking compartments, all wood panelled. The walls a ceilings are festooned with pump clips of beers served in the pub.

Fantastic pub. Great building, and a cracking beer line-up. Don't know if they do food, so can't rate it.

Really enjoyed the unique interior decor, rock music. Definitely a local pub, but a friendly one. Worth a visit for the still cider.
