Memphis Belle, Westbrook

We have visited now 3 times and not been disappointed with the beer. Usually Youngs Bitter, Speckled Hen and (I think) Spitfire. We have not eaten but the carvery is appealing and other served food looks fresh and appetising. Service can be a little slow, especially when there is a function in the back room, but is friendly and pleasant. The entertainment on the 2nd and last Saturdays each month has been a bit hit and miss. One absolutely excellent singer and one awful one to date. Next time we will eat here as well.

Lloyds No 1, Slough

Jubilee bank holiday Sunday and very quiet. Strange place with a strange smell - not that of success. The single real ale was a desperate looking Abbot so I tried the Guinness - never tasted like this before. Card school enjoying themselves, 2 or 3 others, no fights admittedly but never to venture into again. Scope but dead on its feet.

The Herschel Arms, Slough

Interesting yet puzzling all-keg hostelry parallel with the high street. The multi-language graffiti-like comments on the walls gave it an edge but I'm not sure what sort of edge. The room to the left as you enter was a raised area surrounded by a walkway - we didn't venture into the other side. A friendly enough place with music from some rapper swearing his head off to Brian and Michael of Lowry lyrics. Enjoyable but puzzling
