| This place was built on a pie and a pint for a fiver. Those days are gone now but if I had to choose somewhere to go for a bite to eat this is the place to go. I have never had a bad pint here and the pies are top drawer. Nigekirk - 11 May 2008 14:47 |
| This place, along with the university film theatre and the plucky football team elevates Reading to decent large town status when it could have ended up like Luton or Swindon. A marvellous array of pies and lovely beers on tap: a throwback to a different era and knocks the likes of the Square Pier company into a cocked hat. BoehmBawerk - 13 Apr 2008 12:50 |
| Fabulous. An absolute gem. Good range of ales. My one complaint might be that they had a huge number of different kinds of pies but AFAIK there was only one vegetarian one. They do things like ratatouille and salad, however. twm_sion_cati - 11 Mar 2008 16:38 |
| Still great, although sadly Joan, the blue tabarded raspy-throated 'voice of the pies' has departed into retirement. I'll never forget her way of reading the pie list (which never bore any resemblance to the menu) in a glorious tobacco-inflected monotone. And when asked to repeat 'the one with pigeon in', going through the whole list again, top-to-bottom. Genius. Ale range still good, with a little bit of variation every now and again, Had one duff pint in here, which was dealt with swiftly and politely. A real gem. Quinno - 18 Feb 2008 23:35 |
| Fab pies! I cannot tell you how much this place is great! Enough said! siancollins - 6 Feb 2008 09:14 |
