| Anyone who has visited and enjoyed the Hobgoblin in Reading will feel at home in the William Cobbet. Although more conventional in layout than the Hob, the Cob shares many other things in common. Excellent Real ale - we couldn't resist trying the Cream inspired fff Brewery Pressed Rat and Warthog and were rewarded for our bravery. Walls and ceilings plastered in beermats and handpump badges. And the music of course - Zepp, Kansas and many guitar based makers of noise. And some wacky furniture, and even some records pinned to the wall. Food was fine, basic but at prices to match. Bacon and Cheese Burger with chips at £5.95, although the "Double D" burger doesn't have the shape you might expect. Close to the college, this must be popular with students as well as us old folk. Would happily re-visit. ramblethenlunch - 20 Jan 2012 16:50 |
| I stopped going after having a few duff pints. Went in yesterday and discovered that the beers had been below par because the pipe cleaning system hadn't been working properly. The good news is that the ales were all lovely. Dark Star Hophead and American PA (yummy!), Stonehenge, Directors and Pride. Don't forget the wonderful imported German lager Warsteiner. It shows how good lager can taste when it's in the hands of a brewery who cares. The pub itself is delightfully old and has something to offer for people of all ages, although some pensioners might find it a bit lively on a Friday night! slickslinger - 7 Dec 2011 14:52 |
| Revisited today after a couple of years of missing it. Still a wonderful place, anchored in its cosy style. Sincere real ales - tasting glasses if you like to try first; good food; unpretentious. This pub should be Listed (like they do for buildings, so they are preserved for our heritage and can't be taken away or spoiled by inappropriate changes). Definitely in my top 10.

| I miss this place - it had (has?) its faults but whenever I reminisce about Farnham this is the place that pops in to my head. Had some great times here, and i wasn't even a student (mid 30s then , so it does appeal to some of us oldies) Upton_Parker - 21 Oct 2010 13:47 |
| I love this place. Like a time warp. Good selection of beer and a great jukebox! I like getting stuck to the floor! misfithound - 20 Aug 2010 11:24 |
