| The review on the 28th sept would be okay if it wasnt written by the landlady and landlord!!!! I use to drink in the pub and i must say i perfed it when it was the old brams the atmosphere was much more welcoming and everybody have a laugh now the pub just seems very clicky and only certain people welcome and alot of people that use to drink here dont anymore!! as for the review written on the 23rd sept i can agree with every thing u say was going to have a roast myself but then i seen some come out and didnt look that nice and as for the cauliflower cheese the sauce is all runny and looks like custard. wont be returning to the brams till new managment takes over as i didnt like new owers all there seem to do is sit down and drink!! WOKINGHAM ALL WAY BETTER PUBS!!!! dingdong2010 - 29 Sep 2011 10:16 |
| The pub has recently come under new Management with brilliant new staff and an excellent new TOP CHEF!! The new Landlord and Landlady are absolutley brilliant and have brought so much to the pub already in the first 5 months of being there. They have a lovely new decking area outside the the front of the pub which has replaced the grotty, horrible, univiting painted green tarmac area and is now secure enough to let your Children play out there (obviously with your supervision) without worrying that they might escape out into the road. Also a lovely new secure area out the back of the pub is also available. It is finally brilliant to see the new management bring the pub up to what it should be and looking after it, instead like previous management just letting it fall apart and not caring about it or it customer needs. The pub is now a very inviting friendly place (very different from what it used to be). The Landlord and Ladylady are very welcoming to new customers and are always seen to be around the pub making sure everything is ok. They are a very friendly couple and nothing is a chore and they will try and meet any requirements that you may need. Food is excellent, they have a fully qualified, well experienced chef who is absolutely amazing. I have never tasted food like this in a pub and it is nice to know that everything is homecooked (and not out of the freezer and bunged in a microwave and then served up on your plate looking like slop!) and if there isn't something on the menu that you would like, he will do his very best to cook something up for you without any fuss. They use local produce from the surrounding area's and you can taste this in the food with it being lovely, tasteful, fresh and hot! To sum it up the pub is a lovely place, I've never had such a warm welcome at this pub in all the years I've been going to it. If you were a regular at this pub and left to previous management running it into the ground. Then i ask you to go back as i'm sure you will change your opinion very quickly. Or if you have never been to the pub i suggest you come and try it out I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Fantastic Pub!!!!! Star1234 - 28 Sep 2011 14:36 |
| I have 2 children, aged 4 and 1 and they love coming to the brams, much like many other families that are rapidly becoming friends. Great atmosphere, excellent food, and nice to finally see new management bringing the place up to date and showing everyone the way forward. Please come and try for yourself, you will not be disappointed. reclaim - 26 Sep 2011 20:41 |
| Visited on Sunday recently after receiving a leaflet through the door advising us that there was new Management plus a Top Chef! Staff were friendly. Eating side of the bar was practically empty and once you tried the food the reason for lack of customers becomes clear. Food was appalling, badly cooked, cold, cheap, and some of it unidentifiable from its name...not good; If a Top chef had created that, he should be banned from cooking ever again (was he out sick that day?!) It was the worst roast dinner we had ever anywhere. Very dissapointing given the hype. Tables clothes were cheap and tacky ( literally tacky) atmosphere was dull. The new owners seem to be trying, but surely they must be able to see what they are serving on a plate. Comparatively it was not cheap, £10 a head. i would recommend the Bull in Arborfield for Food, if you don't mind being jammed in like a sardine. Haven't tried the Swan yet, but definately will avoid the Brams from now on. They are a prime spot pub which just never seem to get it right... bearbearone - 23 Sep 2011 13:39 |
| Last saw this place on a cold December evening in 1971 as my time at the Army Apprentices College was coming to an end, I was 18. My outstanding memory of the pub (as it was then - less the extensions out front - just the white building behind) was that it was a dive, only frequented by stroppy locals and pissed nonces from the College. However it was a taste of normality from the madness of the College, even if the beer was warm (used to be a Courage pub back then.) Remember the cider was cheap (and warm) and there was bar billiards for free. Oh and the ploughmans lunch (when we could afford it) was a welcome escape from the rations dished up in camp. Its a crap pub, and always will be, but its got a place in mine and thousands of of other Ex-Boys from the camp down the road's memories,(before the Garrison appeared) I visited Arborfield today on a memory trip - thanks for still being there and good luck for the future Frank Delacoe Intake 70A (A Company) at Army Apprentices College Arborfield, now resident in Portsmouth.
