Average suburban two-roomer, beer (Youngs) good enough but the loud Greene King pub over the road had most of the young custom.

2 bars, 'saloon' bar had a real fire and was quite cosy but dead, other bar was a bit more busy full of locals. Wasn't oozing friendliness, had 3 beers on but only 2 in the public bar so missed the probably superior Alton FFF beer, my Deuchars IPS was OK but nothing special, the other real ale was Courage I think. Part of the local CAMRA real ale trail, went there to meet the local branch but no one turned up!

A great little pub. One of the best I have been in.

Only ever been in the Public bar (although don't think it is labelled as such). Decent honest boozer - what you see is what you get. Beer has always been in good nick - sound rather than spectacular.

Wish there were more pubs like this - a place to drink in unpretentious (but clean) surroundings.

Enjoyable old-skool boozer, split into plush lounge and a spartan public bar.

As commented below, the public bar is dominated by the pool table and is home to satellite sports and darts. The lounge is a quieter cosier affair, mainly housing the older clientèle.

Two ales on, Courage Best and Deuchars IPA - the Deuchars is usually a pretty good bet here for the quality.

Whilst not necessarily being a pub to go out of the way for, it's well-worth a stop if you're nearby or down the hill in Caversham and near the bus stop.
