My last post was nearly 3 years ago so an update. I'm increased my score by one notch as the beer is a touch better when I previously reviewed, 3 real ales on, London Pride, Butt's Barbus Barbus and Loddon Hoppit, Mon - Thursday the Loddon Hoppit is priced at £2.50. The Hoppit is a personal favourite session beer of mine at 3.5% ABV and it was in great condition.

I've managed to get into this pub now and further to my previous comments I can confirm much effort is made in terms of the ales on offer. The Loddon Hoppit was in good condition. Not the prettiest of pubs and as I mentioned before, despite being connected to the leisure centre, has a no children policy.

I was a local resident who used/ drank and worked behind the bar (in the 90's on and off). Several management teams came - if i recall employed by Woodley town council - usually good people-often tightly run ( almost driven by various town councillors) - the staff was from locals, uni studants. A Quiz was run very well back then. The Leisure centre had badmington halls and conference hall - i used to attend the excellent Woodley Camera club. The Real was usually Breakspears and Fuller's London Pride but often varied (guest ale). Children were not allowed ,if i recall in the bar but there is a patio by a paddling pool(summer) and play area. Set in the middle of Woodford Park with cricket and football matches plus a bowling green and tennis courts. Did have a curfew , ie a main locked shortly after time gate down the hill.
Did have a caretaker, groundstaff for the park and town council offices. I moved in 2000 - still had tv and a very good nearby Carnival once a year (June). The memorial Park added / rebuilt the theatre etc so i think the council offices moved to the lower of the two parks (Headley Road). Corination Hall was still active next to it when i visited the excellent Woodley 3K & 10K Run (i think a fud raises for 1st Woodley Scouts). The shopping centre is vibrant and nearby in Crockenwell Road ( The Chequers PH also).

Strange that a pub that is part of the lesiure centre does not apparently have the correct license to welcome children in so if you're a family wishing to stop by for a drink, this is not the place to go. Shame really because from the short time I was in the premisis, I could see already that there was a greater effort in the real ales than most other pubs in the Woodley area. Alas, no chance to sample them to see if they were in top condition.

If you are going to drink in a pub that is part of a leisure centre, you don't expect oak beams and leaded windows. Even so, the furniture is rather more appropriate for a cafe than a pub. That said, the cask ale is generally good. It's served on gravity out the back - the handpumps are to tell you what's on.
