| 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. Booze_Allen - 19 Oct 2009 17:41 |
| 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. Abteilung - 26 Sep 2009 13:55 |
| 4 hand pumps serving Adnams 6X, Tanglefoot and a guest Butcombe Gold, the later of which was very good. Amazing selection of pies, although only one veggie one - which was very good. Reminded me of an east end pie and mash shop, with the additiion of beers! doncaosdelanada - 10 Sep 2009 13:31 |
| From the front it looks like an ordinary pie shop, although the sign says “famous pies... fine wines... real ales”; once inside the door the bar and dining area is still partially hidden by screens and curtains. Carry on up a short flight of stairs and you reach the bar with its four beer engines carrying Adnams Bitter, York Ghost, 6X and Tanglefoot, a little less boring keg range from Peroni and Becks plus Stowford Press cider. I chose the Adnams as I've not had it for a while and was not disappointed by the condition, taste or quality of the ale. To the side, front and back are tables and chairs for the consumption of the delicious pies, you need to ask which fillings are available when you order as it does vary from the menu. There is a larger dining room further back. You can drink here as a non diner but I guess that would defeat the object of visiting. Decorated in a fairly conventional style, Constable prints, pictures of old Reading, framed awards and brewery mirrors there are also some interesting theatrical ephemera. Mixed bunch of customers although my evening was enlivened by a couple of 12 year olds from the BBC, listeners of Ed Reardon's week will understand the cruel truth of that. anonymous - 18 Aug 2009 16:19 |
| Probably not what it used to be,but then neither am I.Still one of the best pints in Reading and the pies are excellent. Normlikesbeer - 13 Jul 2009 23:08 |
