| Have happily ended up back here again a couple of times recently, and enjoyed my visits. Couple of extra bits of info: 1) Meeko (he of the Nags Head fame in Reading) is one of the landlord team. Hooray. 2) The place used to be even more old-skool (CAMRA heritage standard, apparently), until Greedy King raped the interior. Thankfully, there's enough been saved to keep the basic old style pub atmosphere alive. 3) Beer is nearly always local (Butts and Loddon seem to be the staples). I won't claim that this pub will suit everyone, but it should appeal to the type of punter I want to drink with! Quinno - 22 Aug 2008 21:49 |
| Interesting characterful little pub with a few separate seating areas and a courtyard garden resembling the hanging gardens of Babylon in the summer. Staff friendly and locals always up for a chat. Serve a couple of BUTTS ales, plus one frequently changing other. Has internet access too. yogibeer - 27 Jul 2008 12:49 |
| I really enjoyed this pub, a step back in time locals pub, with little nooks and crannies and a good range of well kept Real Ales. The locals enjoy a bit of banter and it was relatively full on a Saturday afternoon when compared to the other Wantage pubs we went into. I would return to this pub with no hesitation at all. Great stuff. imdownthepub - 6 Apr 2008 07:51 |
| Brilliant, a Gene Hunt timewarp pub. Apart from the (thankfully switched off) flatscreen TV, nothing about the inside looks to have been updated since the miners strike, including the punters. Two bars, a small (but very well kept) choice of ales (two Butts brewery and Loddon on Sunday) and some good banter with the locals (got told I was a 'troublemaker' for ordering a lemonade for Mrs Quinno) by the bar, plus a pub dog, all made for a good hours worth of drinking. Recommended if you like your beer old-skool. Should I ever return to Wantage, I'll drop by. Worth its place in the Good Beer Guide. Quinno - 11 Feb 2008 14:11 |
| A cracking pub, the best in the town. Run by a couple who has 2 phylosophies in life - Good beer and a good sense of humour. Mossy - 14 Oct 2007 22:29 |
