Volunteer, Thealeback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
The new tenants have got the beer quality up a notch compared to previous, otherwise there hasn't been too much in the way of change. Worth a stroll over if in Theale for a pint.

Loved this pub, a roaring log fire, friendly staff, and the food was great, the only pub I have been in in ages, that actually uses quorn, and doesn't do the usual horrid veggie burger, they had several veggie meals, and my sister who was with me, found the meat dishes just as good. Soft drinks at the bar, were cheaper than a lot of pubs too. I will be going there again.

Clearly the most popular pub in Theale, usually busy, pulls in a lot of the business crowd for lunch.
Stocks three of the Fullers ale range (Chiswick, Pride and ESB), which I've never found to be beyond average in condition, but never bad. The sparklers probably don't help matters, as the body of the beers, especially the Chiswick, disappear quick.
Serves average deep-fried pub food, is family-friendly and has a large garden, so ticks a lot of boxes for the 'regular' drinker.
Worth a visit if you've got the time in Theale to do so, but not necessarily at the expense of the Crown or Red Lion if you're after a good beer.

Well kept beer, and wines. Food, and service absolutely exellent. Best pub for miles, let alone the village.

All things considered, the best pub in Theale if you're a slightly up-market drinker like me.
The beer is significantly pricier than elsewhere, so the village ruffians tend not to show their faces here. The food is excellent, and the bar staff are very proficient, if not particularly friendly. The Fullers beer is always in tip-top nick.
Recommended.

Apart from the piped music, a most acceptable boozer with excellent beer.

Probably the best pub in the village these days, though I like the Thatchers as well.
It's a busy place at lunchtime with the office workers, and it is often throbbing with noise and excitement on a Sunday afternoon when the excellent plasma screen is showing a live Sky game.
The beer is mostly expensive HOWEVER it also does the decent Fullers Chiswick Ale at £2 a pint - probably the cheapest beer in the whole of Theale.
The landlord has a professional attitude to running a pub, and serves up very acceptable food. The best food pub that I've eaten at in the village.
On balance, a very good boozer.

Fried food menu, nothing else to say!
