Finally managed to get there yesterday as part of the local Ale Trail...well worth the wait. Old-fashioned look from outside, but a surprisingly tidy, clean and modern feel to the front bar. Decent beer on from Harvey's, small unobtrusive flat-screen with all football shown. Didn't go through to the back bar, but seemed lively with pool table and further screens.
Lots of Reading FC paraphanalia from the days whenthe old stadium was close by...very much a decent back-street boozer sandwiched down a one-way street between two main roads.

Visited a couple of weekends in a row and the beer quality has been fab. I love a bit of Sussex...
|
Marvellous. My preference is for the Harveys Sussex Bitter. It has a great atmosphere both for televised football and quieter times.
|
Nice two-roomed backstreet community boozer, with a couple of good ales on in excellent form, including Harvey’s Sussex Best.
Inside is fairly functional with a small beer garden out the back, which impressively has TV for sports in a lean-to, so worthwhile going for a summers’ day sports fest.
Reading FC pub, plenty of paraphernalia around the walls.
Enjoyable, worth the short walk from the Oxford Road and a good one to combine with the Nags Head on a crawl. I like it.

Lovely beer! Great little boozer.
|
Changed hands three times in two years now. Its one of the more expensive pubs to drink in and the new owners are trying to improve things with BBQ's etc.
|
There aren't many real pubs left these days, but this is one, a little jem, hidden away in the back streets of Reading.
|
Old fashioned backstreet boozer, takes some finding but repays the effort. Greene King bitters, well kept and reasonable prices.
|
Deacent old boys bar, good Greene King beers, no mess no fuss. The beer garden looks well worth a visit once the weather heats up.
|
Solid old boozer, proper old regulars, good beer, even smelled of beer like a proper pub. Result.
|
This is a typical unspoilt back street town pub serving Greene King. Lounge bar and public bar which has juke box and darts. Nice little garden out the back with pretty bedding plants in season.
