"Sure the beer's in good condition"
Think you'll find that's the main reason why it wins. Quality is consistent and there's always a dark ale of some description available.
Beer quality scores for this area are taken by the local CAMRA branch (as well as nationally through the NBSS website) 365 days a year - the league table doesn't lie!

This place keeps winning CAMRA awards, though I'm not sure why. I think it's OK but it's not worth making a special journey for. Sure the beer's in good condition but other than that it's really nothing special in that it completely lacks atmosphere.

Reading CAMRA Pub of the Year 2008 - second year running. Well done!
|
Excellent public house. We visit it as often as possible. Friendly staff and good selection of real ales. Well worth a visit
|
Fantastic food, but still drinker friendly, I just wish it was easier to get to!
Oh and its not in Reading.
|
Fabulous pub with excellent range of real ales, often a porter or a mild or a stout or ALL THREE!
Good food, huge real fire. Allows dogs in. No canned music (occasional live music). No bl**dy TVs or fruit machines or other rubbish. Restaurant. Garden. Bedooms.
Occasional beer festivals which are spectacular. This pub is Pub of the Year and deservedly so.

Excellent place, Reading CAMRA Pub of the Year 2007 and rightly so. Has a good selection of ale, always featuring a dark (landlord is a dark ale fan) which are kept extremely well.
Lots of history about the place, landlord also organizes some good theme evenings (excellent bonfire night last October for example).
A big part of its business is selling food. Not tried any yet, but my friends say that it is good stuff. However drinkers are always welcome, you aren’t made to feel like unwelcome if all you want is a couple of beers and there’s usually a good atmosphere most evenings.
Clean and tidy, topped off my pleasant, professional service.
Would recommend without hesitation.

Current CAMRA branch Pub of The Year and fully deserving of the title. Always at least five ales on, all in tip-top condition and they will always change them at the first hint of not being quite right. A mixture of hotel, function rooms, restaurant and just plain pub make this a pleasant change from the norm and it all works together. Only ever come here to drink, but that's all I need it it for!
