The Sportsman, Reading

I normally don't do pubs! However, the Sportsman has seen me a few times in the last few months. The landlord is keeping the riffraff out and has tranformed the pub since he has taken over.
I like the lounge bar. The public bar is far off, so there is no disturbance from the "younger" clientele while they enjoying themselves (and why shouldn't they?).
Even though the food is via a chain (Giant), the chef and landlord will make it special if you ask friendly. I get my food hot and spicy. They do a nice vegetarian burger, not the usual vegetable lasagne and mushroom risotto one get in other pubs as a vegetarian.
I really can recommend this pub.
