| Loved this pub, a roaring log fire, friendly staff, and the food was great, the only pub I have been in in ages, that actually uses quorn, and doesn't do the usual horrid veggie burger, they had several veggie meals, and my sister who was with me, found the meat dishes just as good. Soft drinks at the bar, were cheaper than a lot of pubs too. I will be going there again. froggy95 - 4 Dec 2008 23:24 |
| Clearly the most popular pub in Theale, usually busy, pulls in a lot of the business crowd for lunch. Stocks three of the Fullers ale range (Chiswick, Pride and ESB), which I've never found to be beyond average in condition, but never bad. The sparklers probably don't help matters, as the body of the beers, especially the Chiswick, disappear quick. Serves average deep-fried pub food, is family-friendly and has a large garden, so ticks a lot of boxes for the 'regular' drinker. Worth a visit if you've got the time in Theale to do so, but not necessarily at the expense of the Crown or Red Lion if you're after a good beer. Quinno - 8 Oct 2008 20:49 |
| Well kept beer, and wines. Food, and service absolutely exellent. Best pub for miles, let alone the village. effjaybee - 24 Sep 2007 16:02 |
| All things considered, the best pub in Theale if you're a slightly up-market drinker like me. The beer is significantly pricier than elsewhere, so the village ruffians tend not to show their faces here. The food is excellent, and the bar staff are very proficient, if not particularly friendly. The Fullers beer is always in tip-top nick. Recommended. ThealeMan - 22 May 2007 10:56 |
| Apart from the piped music, a most acceptable boozer with excellent beer. BinBagBob - 11 Mar 2007 07:55 |
