| Very good weekend beer festival in the garden featuring mostly beers from the north west. Its a shame the weather was unseasonably cold because the neat garden is pleasantly hidden away from the main road. The bar inside feels like a gentlemens club with its red leather seats and is perhaps a little soulless in comparison. An enjoyable visit. GazzaTheBeerMan - 21 Jun 2010 11:42 |
| Large pub, food oriented but I was here for the real ale, interesting variety, micros well represented, the beer quality for my beer was superb. Abteilung - 14 Mar 2010 12:35 |
| Large roadside pub (on the A4) with a nice enough exterior and interior and a large car park. The food smelt good and the range of ales were also good - Cottage Marathon Hound, Ascot Posh Pooch, Brakspear, West Berkshire Maggs Mild and Hogsback Tea. The Swanvale cider was disappointing. I'm always wary of going in large roadside pubs as they tend to cater to a passing crowd and are often run by large chains and are dominated by the food offering. I much prefer pubs that are tucked away and rely on their reputation to draw in customers. Having said that, this pub seems to be a rare exception to this general rule and there's a good chance I'll be back here one day. blue_scrumpy - 5 May 2009 21:20 |
| If I were to prejudge by exterior looks alone I probably wouldn't go in here, but I'm glad I did. A couple of excellent ales (both new to me) and a good pizza for lunch. Very enjoyable. fromedrinker - 1 Mar 2009 19:43 |
| "Sure the beer's in good condition" Think you'll find that's the main reason why it wins. Quality is consistent and there's always a dark ale of some description available. Beer quality scores for this area are taken by the local CAMRA branch (as well as nationally through the NBSS website) 365 days a year - the league table doesn't lie! Quinno - 4 Jun 2008 23:55 |
