"Such a fab pub. Always clean and tidy, good crowd, good acoustics so you can hear what your mates are saying. Fab selection of beer, from cheap and tasty staples, to more expensive and interesting craft options. Importantly they'll always tell you first if you've asked for a pricey one so you're not caught off-guard by a price tag! Really friendly staff, and a lovely pub spaniel who likes to watch the comings and goings. My favourite pub in Reading."
