Very friendly service and excellen service from what can be an unpredictable company pub. Visied this pub on quite a few occasions and have never been disappointed.
Has a good turn-around of guest ales - ensuring that they're always in top condition!
Recommended!

Typical of the chain, but still clean and good priced ales. Worth drinking in if your in Caversham but not sure I would go out of my way to drink there.

Reminds me of an Airport Departure Lounge.
If you're the sort of person who considers McDonalds a restaurant, then you probably consider this a pub.
Full of the rich residents of Caversham drinking cheap beer and eating "two for the price of one" microwaved meals, too tight to use their local pub.
You'll never bump into Tim Martin here.

I completely disagree with the previous contributer about the beer. It is some of teh best in town, and also the best value. The food is very good value. It is obviously a chain pub, but it is a pleasabnt enough place for a drink of an evening.

Not a very nice place- Floor area by the bar sticky with "drink?" and thats at 7.pm. Beer condition poor and very limited range of other drinks. It may be company policy but why are the staff dressed like Viet Cong infantry? The "atmosphere" is unpleasant and the layout reminded me of a works canteen. You need to be drunk before you go in, not to start the evening.

I disagree with some of these. I am a regular here and i find the staff very friendly and chatty and the food is excellent. It takes time to arrive but it is worth the wait. The drinks are also pretty good, however the prices do seem to fluctuate, but this would be the same in all Wetherspoon pubs.

Visited at 5pm on a Sunday, hoping for a quiet meal between the lunchtime crowds and the evening shift, but the first "chef" had clocked off at 4.30 and the expected new shift hadn't shown up, so food was off.
Notices on the tills demanded cash only as the card link was down. The room was untidy with half-finished dinners across tables and only one person serving with some issues about how to work the till...apart from that, it was great.

Its a wetherspoons pub! The bar staff are not that chatty due to the management not allowing it. Beer wise, once again its a wetherspoons pub, so that means cheap booze but also loads of old people. Often smokey as alot of elder people smoke.

It's a good pub to go to and especially with their 2 for £5 meal deals. The waiting times for grub can be a bit lengthy and the bar staff aren't exactly chatty but all in all it's okay. There is often a laddish element present so bear that in mind. Could do far worse than starting out here before going somewhere else or for just having a beer and a cheap lunch.
