| This is one of my favourite pubs because... 1) It does very good beer. There are three cask ales - Brakspear, Brakspear Special and a guest ale. They are reasonably priced (under £3) and so far, they have only been a couple of occasions where I have been in and one had been unavailable. Good choice of lagers and wine too. 2) Great atmosphere. The staff are friendly and so are the clientele. It has a very welcoming and inclusive feel. 3) It is excellent for sports. There are three large widescreen televisions spread throughout the two bars and the landlord is very clever in managing to show all major sports events (football, rugby, cricket). They also show match of the day on a Saturday night, if you request it. 4) Good food. They serve food at lunchtimes from Mon-Sat. It is a basic menu but is priced accordingly. This is sensible because Twyford has great Italian, Thai, Chinese, Greek, Fish and Chips and numerous restaurants. 5) Great staff. Always friendly, nothing is ever too much trouble. 6) Good beer garden. Great in the summer. Grumbles? It can get smoky in there and sometimes it can get busy at random times, i.e. not just Fri and Sat nights. pbmpbm - 20 Mar 2007 13:04 |
| this old pub was where i spent a lot of my childhood years as my grandmother vera shanahan / gibbs ran this beautiful old establishment along with both husbands jack shanahan passed away around 1967. i believe they ran this pub for approximatley 20yrs. my brother and i spent many a holiday there going for long walks and enjoying a cold pepsi and crisps. in 1977 my family emigrated to australia. in 1984/85 my nan and her 2nd husband, norman gibbs, emigrated here. all i have left from the duke are a couple of babysham glasses and photos. in 1988 my husband and i made a trip over to the uk and i went to visit the old pub and trying to remember how things were. i would love and photos of the duke inside and outside just to see how things have changed please send to my email address. thanks heaps for any info recieved. mrs_duke - 23 Jan 2007 04:22 |
| Decent pub for a couple of pints before going on to one of the restaurants in Twyford. Two lounges, one with a games machine and TV, plus a smaller one that's a little quieter. Never had a bad experience. FilmFan - 2 Aug 2006 11:33 |
