A proper pub aimed at the more "mature" punter. Beer is superb (Arkells 3B and 2B), three different areas to sit in, tables outside with views over Hungerford Common. Homecooked food, piped music (quietly!).

Friendly local crowd (I'm one of them), dogs welcome, near the railway station, and only a walk up the hill fom the High Street. Plus, you are guaranteed to find it warm in the winter, this place is never cold!

The other interesting features are spectacular flowers in the spring and summer, caged birds on the roof over the door, and another chattering away in his cage by the fire.

A charming Arkell's house, happily untouched by any of the corporate styling so many breweries force artificially onto their estates.

Not so many pubs these days can give the impression of being inside someone's home, but this is one of them. Cosy and convivial. I found the Arkell's 2B in excellent condition and the home-made steak and kidney pie was of proper short pastry - as opposed to off the Brakes' lorry.

Five minutes' walk from Hungerford railway station. Hourly trains from Paddington. I used it as the starting point for an hour's stroll along the canal to Kintbury and the Dundas Arms. Just right on a fine afternoon.

Totally agree with all the comment s about this place, its an absolute gem of a pub. Really cosy feeling, great beer, great menu, friendly staff plenty of park and set in a wonderful location by the common, shame theres not more pubs like this around.

On a gorgeous Spring day, this pub ticked very box - beer (3B - a classic), warm welcome, multi-room, set between town and countryside. Almost perfect.
