| Perfect real ale in a superb pub. An ideal base for a stroll across the Common and down the hill to the Kennet and Avon Canal towpath. GazzaTheBeerMan - 11 Feb 2008 11:25 |
| Seems to me that soots must have got his glasses steamed up from coming in from the cold to the warm atmosphere, it is our local and have just been partying and there are no Jacket spuds at £6.00, and it is good homecooked food at a fair price just like mother used to make, not enough of them around these days, all plastic and chain pubs, long live our local pubs. dyates5 - 9 Jan 2008 21:41 |
| This used to be a good pub for ale and cheap pub grub, but unfortunately they have put their prices up far to high for basic fayre. How can anyone justify a jacket spud and beans for over £6?!! Soots - 9 Jan 2008 17:37 |
| This is how a pub should be a warm and joval welcome from the host, super place to drink and eat the real ales kept in very good condition very worthy of the good beer guide, food exellent pub food, staff very friendly, coins and old currency don the walls aircraft hanging from the ceiling such a lovely pub a must if you are in the Hungerford area. pubwaych - 7 Nov 2007 22:26 |
| My first and only visit to a Hungerford alehouse to date, and happily I can report no disappointments. Indeed, we found this to be a classic, unspoilt, traditional, welcoming little local that made one yearn for the days when pubs were simpler, community affairs with no corporate pretence or affectation; just a jolly and convivial couple running a down-to-earth, characterful, primarily drinkers' pub. I've been to few Arkell's houses over the years but it seems to me that their very traditional, steady approach pays off in pubs like the Downgate. The licensees kept the 3 ales on perfectly; the 2B and 3B really were on song. Nice long chat with the landlady. We liked the fact it didn't take itself too seriously; the Union Jack toilet seat was a nice touch and didn't suggest "football chav/Sky Sports" as sadly displays of flags so often do with pubs nowadays. Mention needs to be made of the location too: set on the corner of the nearby common where cattle can be found grazing freely, complete with outside seating and kissing gate. Excellent. If ever I'm down that way again, I shall be down the Downgate. TWG - 30 Oct 2007 12:40 |
