Hi I am the new landlord on the Maiden Over. We have now completed our refurbishment of the front bar which now has a more welcoming feel to it with new furniture and decoration. In addition during the day we will be operating a coffee shop from the front bar selling a range of coffees and teas aswell as pastries, sandwiches and panninis. We will be opening from 8.30am. We have also opened the fire so you can enjoy your coffee round an open fire. Free wi-fi is also available and will have daily newspapers to read.

Our new restaurant will be opening soon. The restaurant will seat 30 covers and will be a steak house.

Hopefully you will enjoy the improvements we have made.

Hope to see you soon

Warwick and Rachel

I've lived in the UK for 2 years now. I had some business in the area and being 60 years old had to stop at the pub for the facilities. I didn't have time to ask the proprietor if I could use the facilities. That was a mistake as he came running after me to tell me his pub wasn't a public toilet. I apologised profusely and even after that his wife or girlfriend as the case may be came out the back door and started berating me. If I had wanted to have a beer I certainly wouldn't go back. The atmosphere wasn't friendly and welcoming in the least. It actually felt like an English Deliverance movie. I frequent the pubs regularly in Twyford and Winnersh and have never encountered this behavior. This was a bad East Enders Show.

Visited on a very quiet Sunday evening, hardly anyone in at that point. Friendly welcome, decently-kept beer, but a distinctly odd feel to the place - the rear lounge area is, despite refurbishment, still something straight from a 1960s RAOB social club or the like, complete with 6-inch high stage in one corner - you feel like they could stage a re-enactment of the Wheeltappers & Shunters without any effort at all. Having said that, one nice feature is the original barback with the pub name picked out over glass in the original lettering.

Popped in after hearing news about the refurb - was pleased with the results.

Front bar is cleaned up, painted and now feels like a place to drink, rather than stool cement mixers. Was greeted by the landlady who introduced herself - good service.

Toilets are painted, lit and clean.

Two ales on (it was Pride and Abbot on my visit though I'm told they've switched to GK IPA - shame!). get the tight sparklers off though, you're not in the North now!!

Worth a look.

I went to Maiden Erlegh school getting on for 20 years ago and I remember this pub being pretty bad.

However, now that I'm back in the area again I went in with my wife to see what it's like now, and I was pleasantly surprised.

I gather it has changed hands recently, and it is much improved. The beer was really nice (London Pride and Abbot) and the atmosphere was much nicer than it used to be.

I'm looking forward to having a nice pub in Earley again (now that the Roebuck seems to be going downhill very quickly) and the Maiden Over looks like it could be it.
