| New landlady in place for last 3 months and nice to see she welcomes families. One of my old gripes of this place was that it was not family friendly. Went in on Tuesday night for birthday meal and very impressed with the food. Chef did a cracking job with presentation & quality of food. Still nice to see 5 handpumps on the bar serving Wickwar B.O.B., Hopback HOP, Courage Best and two others. I will definately be going back again soon. Beer_Spotter - 27 Oct 2011 00:58 |
| Recently under new management, and the early signs are that this may not be a good thing. When I was there the place was completely dead - just myself and my wife in the entire pub. The landlord seemed quite grumpy, which may explain the lack of other customers. Also, their refusal to have any kind of background music on gave the place all the atmosphere of a morgue. Its a shame, this used to be a good pub and easily could be again. They are also refusing to open for the after-work crowd, waiting instead until 17:30 once the rush-hour has died down. Situated as they are on one of the busiest roads in and out of Wokingham, this is a horrendous business decision. Big_K - 23 Apr 2011 09:55 |
| Almost faultless! Great food using local ingredients. Lovely pint of Broadside and no kids under the age of ten. What more could you ask for? netsmith72 - 6 Oct 2009 16:08 |
| The guest beers don't seem to be as interesting as they used to be a year ago. The quality is still good though. Quinno - 30 Jul 2009 14:15 |
| Very pleasant last night, but quite quiet. 4 beers on - Courage Best, Adnams Bitter and Broadside and Fullers ESB. The Broadside was excellent. Good tasty food, but noticed that the prices seem to have crept up rather a lot lately. Still a fine country pub, though, welcoming and providing very decent quality. metrology_man - 17 Jun 2009 07:59 |
