| just been for the weekend at the races, pub was ok but was disgusted, and i mean disgusted at the state of the toilets,for the amount of money that gets spent behind the bar the manager really needs to get their act together as wont go there again until its sorted ,in fact i am going to report it as its so bad!!!! mattyboy42 - 18 Sep 2011 18:26 |
| From the signange this venue looks like it caters for the football/lager crowd but inside it is a smart looking pub. Surprised and pleased to see West Berkshire beers on tap and my pint was very good. Staff were pleasant enough although they need better training and some decent management. Food is mediocre but a nice canal-side location and would go again if only for the beer. mark1631 - 29 Jun 2011 09:08 |
| I enjoyed a nice pint of West Berkshire brewery's "Good Old Boy" for £1.95 a pint (Monday lunchtime). A couple of pleasant young ladies behind the bar; nice views over the canal; TV screens for sport and music (only one had the sound on). Food available most times of the days with special offers (a lot of pubs these days seem to be doing the Wetherspoons thing - cheap beer and food in huge pubs). Anyway the Hogs Head (used to be The Hogshead!!!) is worth a visit but when the new Wetherspoons opens next door (The Hatchet Inn) we will see what the competition brings!! mcroyal - 21 Jun 2011 09:55 |
| Following the CAMRA book of pub crawls and this is stop one. Huge pub. Very quiet at 7pm on a Monday. Nice earing in the barstaff. They really suited him. London Pride was very, very good pint. Sat and read looking out over the river. Nice pub. Mappiman - 29 Mar 2011 17:51 |
| OK Pub. Food is very cheap but it is low value ping (microwave) grub. Drinks are reasonably priced but service here is poor. I've never known the toilets be in good shape. They always overflow. On the weekend one bargirl 'hattie' signed to show she had checked the loos, then only looked in one cubicle. All the barmaids are very pretty- all blonde and thin but there seems to be a lack of customer service training, or at least a chat on how to smile. You also witness far too much standing around and talking which is really fucking annoying. pirate400 - 21 Mar 2011 15:52 |
