| Similar to the Crown in that food is clearly the big push here, but unlike the Crown it also feels like a place where you can drink in peace without feeling to out of place. Couple of the usual GK suspects in fair shape at the bar. Haven't eaten there but have had it recommended by Mrs Quinno so they must be doing something right. Fair enough for what it is.

| Lacking the pretentious upmarket feel of The Crown (which is situated right next door), this is a real pub with grub venue. The food is excellent quality, reasonably priced, and to be honest a cut above what you'd normally find in a boozer. The ale is good and there are plenty of tables for drinkers. In the winter sitting warming by the open fire is a treat. There is a large conservatory and garden area that is often used for parties. The venue can be hired out very reasonably. Negative points - well it can sometimes be a bit empty due to its proximity to the much larger and smarter looking Crown, and competition from pubs in Sonning just across the roundabout. It also brought in a no smoking policy long before the ban was imposed, and suffered for it. Increasingly though, there is a loyal dining crowd who come midweek for a relaxed meal and drink in comfortable surroundings. angryinvienna - 15 Aug 2007 10:39 |
| Friendly pub, good food (though Sunday lunch tends to be a bit boring) and nice garden in the summer johnbrooke - 9 Dec 2004 12:02 |
