Was here just before a Reading v Cardiff game shown on Sky Sports. It was busy, so they must be doing something right I suppose. The bar staff were young and inexperienced. The pub has apparently had a makeover unlike the clientele. When they are smoking, they crowd the entrance, when they are drinking, they crowd the bar. Do not try and get past, you will be invisible to them. Served a cold, flat pint of London Pride. This is Fosters territory after all, the power of advertising to White Van Man runs deep here with the occasional rebel drinking Magners Oirish cider only because he watches a different channel.

The garlic bread crowd are in here roaming wide eyed and lary. You've been warned.

Well it is certainly quite a lively place early on a Friday evening, and given the amount of staff behind the bar this is obviously the norm. The age of the pub itself is not matched by the surrounding 1960s style housing which gives it more character than most "estate" pubs. Stayed for a pint of London Pride which was fine but left to try and find somewhere a bit more peaceful.

This pub has recently changed hands and the people there now are really sorting the place out.
The management have real control over the customers now.
It was the first time i had been in this pub for months, and i saw a real difference to the place.
Would highly recommend.
