Mulled Wine available for Christmas and was very good so I was told. Meanwhile I sampled a Doombar or two which was excellent - certainly no complaints there. Our group enjoyed some good food and a good evening; we'll be returning.

Average foody pub with a nice garden. The inside is quite tidy but not anything to get excited about.

Smoky on my pre-Christmas visit (don't overheat the cooking oil, chaps).

Three ales on which looked good but there's an issue with the knowledge of the product - the London Pride was dispensed through a tight sparkler whilst the Tim Taylor wasn't. My beers tasted OK but the Pride had the life knocked out of it, which was a shame.

As far as the beer goes - good start but could better. I'll pass by again and see if things are looking upwards.

One of the best pub/restaurants I have been to only be spoilt by a couple of items which were off the menu including the cheesecake which would have finished the meal off nicely. Seems to be a good range of beers.Staff, especially the Aussie who served us, was pleasant and cheerful but had to keep apologising for the items off the menu. Otherwise the pub would have got a higher rating.

Great garden, and my pint of Hancocks was spot on!

Good stop on a walk along the canal from Theale to Reading by virtue of being the, er, only stop. But the beer was alright if nothing special. Disappointing lack of crisps/snacks as already mentioned and it is definitely aimed at the family dining market.
