The Sun in the Wood, Newbury

After reading various positive reviews I took my parents here for the sunday roast. The meat was dry and everything on my plate was presented so that you couldn't see the burned side. Needless to say you certiainly tasted it, and so I left half a plate of grub.

Really failed to meet expectations, and I doubt I will be going back.

Snooty Fox, Newbury

Went in it for St Patricks Day- first time in ages. Always used to be full but now at less than 50% capacity. In all honesty the turf actually improves the place. The loos and pub in general look really run down. It's like it is owned by a bunch of students who just don't give a shit.

Bar staff are weried here. There's a portly ginger girl who always has her norks our, and a couple of other ones who don't seem to have any sort of charm.

Used to be so much better. Hope they'd sort the floor out and give the place a tidy up- would really help it.

Purple Lounge, Newbury

Anything positive I could say about this place went out the door when the Polish people who now own it decided to pain the facade purple- despite it being a grade 2 listed building.

Soo good you can't see through the windows as to what is happening inside- probably because it's empty.
