Wadworth's IPA, 6X and Tipple plus Adnams Southwold on yesterday in pretty good nick.

They have obviously spent some money on the place since I last visited - new furniture in the dining room etc - and it looks good. As always, the pies were superb.

Christmas Pie and pint - both excellent as ever

This is midway restaurant rather than pub ... wines are scary in price, but the likes of Tanglefoot, Royal Oak, 6x, are kept absolutely perfectly and around £3:60 a pint ...
But you go to Sweeney's for their pies (& quiches) ... they almost have sawdust on their floor ... and if you turn a blind eye to calories - wow !
Steak & Stilton a favourite, Game Pie, or Hare & Cherry yum, eat in for a fiver, ratatouille, or mixed veg couple of £ on top.
Chicken Broccoli & Stilton Pie to take home for £2:40 ...
Spinach quiche & salad in summer with a pint of 6x ... £8:00 ...yum !
This has to be 10/10 as they look after their beer like no other place in Reading (honestly), have perfect pub food ...
... and crap places like the Nag's Head even buy their pies to re-heat and sell them on, like Tuesdays with "baked beans" - would you believe !

Wadworth Malt & Hops was in top form and the 'Sweeny' pie was lovely, I like this place, however beer was £3.40 pint and the pie £5.50 (you can get their pies for £3.50 in the Nags Head) so an all afternoon session wasn't going to happen.

Had a very good pint of Wadworth's Stronginthearm here, it was Friday and packed so a slight victim of it's success. The staff were friendly and efficient. A quirky place with good no nonsense food. Can't wait to go back.
