Went in on Wednesday evening in December, A pleasure as always. The landlandy made us feel very welcome and we again had a great pre-Xmas meal in their restaurant area. 5 Real Ales on tap including the very rarely seen, outside Yorkshire, Timothy Taylor - Best Bitter. I had Wadworths - 6X on my visit and it was of fine quality which is down to the care and attention of the bar staff. Keep up the good work.

The London Irish Rugby Team, Supporters and Followers all visit this great pub not only does it have FOOD and BEER it also has the infamous London Irish Mascot sadly Digger is no longer with us but one of his offspring followed in his step and Mr DOYLE is now the Irish Woolfhound that leads the players on the turf at the MAD STAD

Having lived in Reading all my life, and having been a keen real ale drinker and CAMRA member, I am so surprised to have only discovered this pub during late 2010. This has quickly become a meeting point for my friends and I, as it is fairly central for us travelling from places such as Wokingham and Mortimer. The ales have always been kept really well. Some ale fans may see the selection as standard, but you can give me a well kept pint of Pride, Landlord or a Loddon's beer any day, over a badly kept pint of something less well-known. I felt comfortable here from the first time I visited, and have eaten food twice as well, finding the it of a high quality. Really looking forward to visiting here with family during the summer, as the area at the back looks very welcoming for a summer's day. If you have not been here and are travelling through the area, I would recommend a visit. If you are local and are not supporting this pub then shame on you. Give it a try! One more thing - the comments on the wall in the mens toilet certainly made me smile, but I will let you discover that one for yourself :-)

Just love The Swan. Beer always well-maintained, food always good and staff are friendly and give you a warm welcome. Suffered heavily from the disruptive (yet-necessary) M4 J11 roadworks but now it's largely over, people are flooding back...pity as I liked the peace and quiet :-)

Agree with Beer-Spotter's comments...we had a superb Christmas meal there too. Highly recommended - a good reliable pub

First visited this pub a couple of months ago and was so pleasantly surprised we've been back many times since. The pub has a main bar with 'Outriggers' room overlooking the front of the pub and another bar for the excellent restaurant. 5 beers have been on handpump each visit and are lovingly looked after by the landlady. Currently serving Loddon Hoppit, Ferrymans Gold, Wadworths 6X, Fuller London Pride & Timothy Taylor Landlord. You are always given a warm welcome and last night we had a fantastic gut-busting Xmas meal including some local sourced cheese. The patio area at the rear looks a great place to while away the summer nights too, can wait brrrr!
