| just 2 things wromg whith this pub 1 its green king 2 where the hell do you park! in a word never again jeffisgame - 23 Dec 2011 20:57 |
| We visited for the first time earlier this year and it now one of our regular watering holes. It has also become the local for our son and his Reading supporting friends and part of their home game days. Although, being a Green King Pub, the range of beers offered is not huge or very varied they do usually have a special. The food is well prepared, served in large portions and good value for money. The bar staff all give the impression that they want to be there and are friendly and efficient. beernut - 11 Sep 2011 21:37 |
| Visited this pub recvently for the first time in many a long year and was pleasantly surprised with the new decor and the general feel of the place. The pool table has gone but they have kept a dartboard (albeit in a corner). The decor is modern and the large patio area at the rear must be a real bonus in the summer. Beers come from the standard Greene King range but there is often a "guest" or seasonal ale from the brewery. It does food most times of the day with special offers available. If you are coming from Reading West station and heading into town it's worth the very short detour to get to the R&T - you can then head towards the Nags Head after that!! Good luck to Jo and team - an impressive change of direction for this pub. mcroyal - 29 Mar 2011 14:59 |
| First time back in since the refurbishment and what a massive difference. Jo and her team have done a great job in keeping the atmosphere, despite the changes. The whole place looks much neater and tidier and it's a pleasent place to go again. A big well done to all the staff Donner - 23 Sep 2010 09:34 |
| This was for 18 years my local, 3 min walk from my front door, but not being a local sort of girl (just use pubs when I'm out and about or meeting friends singular or plural) I under-used this place ... I love Abbot which has been on tap there since I first popped in two decades back. Their wine list is terrific too for the prices. Landlady Sue does a grand job (Green King really screw their tied houses), and some of the food is fresh kitchen prepared - not all pre-prepared microwave - way superior to Weatherspoon ! It was an infrequent lunchtime retreat on sunny weekdays when working from home on Brunswick Hill, somewhere to go to see Sky footie, and I'd noticed it had got a lot quieter music wise on weekend evenings ... hate noisy pubs. But decking the garden was a huge mistake ... Left my mobile phone there one Saturday, on a table ... it wasn't stolen but handed in for me to collect the next day ... what does that say about the clientelle ! - Laura lauraeva - 12 Aug 2010 20:30 |
