Red Cow, Readingback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
yes yes this pub harks back to the bad old days of the 70s, but if you want somewhere to hide after a heavy weekender that did (as far as i remember) the biggest fatboy fryup for £2, it can't be beat. just don't look in the kitchen.

Enjoy the Lounge bar, it should be listed by CAMRA as a heritage pub as it is perfectly preserved from 1984, right down the vintage Hofmeister ashtrays and Courage Best Nitrokeg! (perhaps they have Red Barrel and a Party 7 hidden in the cellar too). Landlady is akin to Peggy Mitchell on speed.
Outside of that comedy factor, there's no real reason to return once you've had a look.

Visited again more recently. If you're looking for a real British gem of a pub come here. It's the geniune article. The ideal place for the crib player and very very friendly.

I went there last week, (25/09/05) and had a really good time with my mate and his dad. Cheap pool, friendly atmos, doors and awnings (we estimate) haven't been changed since WW2 and reasonable prices. Even had a light and bitter just go with the feel of the pub. Lovely!!!!

A reminder of how pubs used to be in the 70's. Crap beer, worn furniture, brown stains everywhere, rough looking customers, awful toilets. Catch it while you can - it won't be there forever!

Very ugly looking pub from the outside, slightly better on the inside providing you don't look around the place. Warm beer, rubbish crowd. AVOID!
