| Has had a good clean post-smoking ban and a lick of paint too – and looks much better for it, the ornamental glasswork really stands out now. Still feels a bit of a shed though, they’d do better to get some booths and partitions in to break it up a bit. Beer quality also improved considerably (Courage Directors, Best and Bombardier are the usual) and the awful Rn’B megamix TV has been switched off. A good improvement, impressive. So would recommend popping in now and then. Tends to be an after-work place so rammed at 5:30pm but dead as a dodo come 9pm. Often looks closed on Sundays as well. Quinno - 18 Feb 2008 14:22 |
| It's now reopened after a total overhaul. The inside retains the old Blagrave features (nice stuff, quite old fashioned and interesting) but the loos are now useable and the menu's been updated (trios of bruchetta, penne pasta and tapas!. The ales remain nice, with the pipes properly cleaned. All in all, a nice place, hope it does well... all the locals have gone, that's for sure! Fickle - 11 Oct 2007 15:52 |
| Men blasting air horns, bar staff from Human Traffic, a pool table with one ball always missing. Reading town centre dives I salute you! Trapdoor - 29 May 2007 22:51 |
| Decent "real" pub, worth a visit anonymous - 19 Apr 2007 12:39 |
| Not a very "stand out" pub, but worth a visit primarily due to its location near the station. Definite crawl material but not if you are looking for a nicer hostilery. I agree about the banging tunes a little out of place. DeggyT - 6 Jan 2007 12:36 |
