rude management, very anti against forces veterans on rememberance day 2009
slow service and ignorant bar staff
I was in the pub when a young soldier asked for service and the woman was talking to her manageress at the time looked up at him and went to the opposite end of the bar to serve another person who still had half a pint to finish,
Ive never returned to that dive.

Stop smelling goat's cheese at this hillbilly local and get your bad self on down to THE BACK OF BEYOND. Reading's best kept secret can be located at; 104-108 Kings Road, Reading, Berkshire RG1 3BY. Oh yeah!

Violent? The first (and last) time I went in it was like The Wynford Part Deux. Huge homosexual crowd which if your bread is battered on that side fine but not my cup of brew. As for thefts the only thing likely to be pinched is your a*s by fudgey type. Thanks but no thanks...

Whilst I understand this pub is not to everyone's tastes, some of the reviews it's getting are very harsh and seem to stem around people getting offended that they are being ID'ed. Unfortunately that is the way the world is going, most places now have a standard policy of think 25 and that is going to lead to this happening. The staff do not do this to deliberately piss people off, but because it is their job and it is not worth risking anything.

To an actual review of the pub, I like the place. The drinks are cheap (£1.25 pints on mondays) and the atmosphere can be good if you're there at the right time - I always tend to have a good night here. They're really making an effort too, big screens have allegedly been put in for the world cup this summer. My only complaints are the men's loos, which are in desperate need of renevation, and the pretty poor standard of the food.

Awful, awful and awful.

This place is truly terrible, firstly the staff are rude, they ID you on purpose to annoy you & they also criticise you if you put a song they don't like on the jukebox. Also the bouncers are awful, they seem intent on upsetting everyone who goes in there, even the staff! The manageress is also very up herself and rude.

Secondly you get allot of fights in here, the staff also are not perfect at dealing with someone almost injuring half of the customers of 'Pavs on a Thursday afternoon.

Thirdly the people who stay in here are generally nasty people who will steal something off you, if you let your eyes off of it for a second.

Forth, the food isn't good anymore they used to have an extremely good chef team but they have moved on to bigger and much better things now! That sums it all up nicely it used to be a good pub, when the legend that was the last boss ran it, it is now awful, they have lost all the good staff and lastly. Don't get a Yellow Card if you insist on going here, if you lose it they won't give you another and that one girl who we all know will just give you the blankest of blank stares, I have ever seen.

So to sum it all up, bad food, bad service, bad choice of drinks, average drinks and fights. It's awful so just stay away and go to the Purple Turtle or Oakford Social Club instead please!
