Really enjoyed the unique interior decor, rock music. Definitely a local pub, but a friendly one. Worth a visit for the still cider.

Loved this place, small,real pub in the centre of Reading. So many real ales it was hard to choose. Friendly atmosphere and will certainly go back next time I'm in town.

This is a brilliant real old British pub with a great selection of beers and ciders with friendly knowledgeable staff who care about the beer they serve, I always drop in when I am in Reading (no wonder they won pub of the year in Reading) Well done keep it up

Walked in on a quiet Wednesday evening, and the long haired, quite frankly stressed out bartender, said he wasn't serving big groups, and refused to look at us. There was 8 of us, not exactly the biggest group going. Guy obviously stressed out, needs a holiday.

What a great little pub. Found it by accident and would definitely like to visit it again in the future. It has a great selection of tap and bottled beers and the seating areas are very interesting, with some being accessed by a winding little passageway. Almost Harry Potter esque.

Pump clips line the walls and ceiling providing a look into the recent history of the ales that have been poured at the pub. The soundtrack here is always eclectic as are the clientele. A much needed pub that provides respite from the monotony of the high street. A must visit when in town especially if you're a fan of cask beer as the selection changes frequently
