Currently shut and due to reopen as a Thai resteraunt/bar. Apparently will still be selling ale.
Is being run by the same guys who are in charge of the Lyndhurst and who have turned the Moderation around, so worth checking out again in a few weeks.

Seem to be permanently running low on the ale, quite often only one/none on and it isn’t that hot when it is, either.
Bit of character inside, but not worthwhile outside the tick value really.

I tried to book an Xmas meal here - don't bother, they couldn't be bothered to fax/e-mail me over a menu and when I did ring up to chase, the chef was quite rude. It's a nice looking pub and the staff are usually okay but just one bad experience is enough to put me off going there again.

Nice interior and friendly staff. Not the place to go if you are an away football supporter, I got told to shut up before I got beaten up.
Couple of good quality real ales.

Not a bad pub at all, drinks were alright price, good place to watch the footie in :)

Average pub full of Reading fans on a Saturday. Couple of ales on (Rev James and another) that ran out by 7pm!
I thought the staff were OK, they kept my phone safe behind the bar for an hour or so after I'd lost it.

The landlord/staff from this pub are diabolical. On more than one occasion myself and some friends have been witness to people completely and unnecessarily being physically removed. We definetely wont be going back there! And if you had any sense - you wouldnt either - unless you want you drinks taken away!!

Just an ordinary pub. Too smoky and they don't seem to bother too hard with their limited range of real ales. There are better pubs nearby.

Used to be a good traditional pub for lunchtimes and after work (if you could ignore the Prudential automatons), but a disastrous bistro-style refit a while back has backfired badly and left the pub in no-mans land. Too "bistro/wine bar" for the traditional pub-goer bu still too much of a pub for the Ha-Ha/Zizzi/Casa gals.

This looks a very interesting pub with loads of nooks to hide away. It was lunch when I was there but the evenings should be good.
