A new licensee and unfortunately the ale has gone back to being as it was prior, which is a shame. It's a nice community boozer since the refurb - but the locals really need to use it or lose it.
August 2015
New people have been in situ for a while now after a period of closure, with West Berks available alongside Doom Bar and a guest with good quality. Dart board still available in the right hand bar. Service friendly. Interior and garden have now had a thorough overhaul and are now clean and cosy. Quiz night a good craic. Looks to be succeeding and is worth seeking out.

A fair community local which has a couple of ales in decent condition – usually a West Berks brew and a Ramsbury. A friendly welcome comes from Buster Bloodvessel behind the bar (that’s Dean, whose ‘review’ is posted below!). The interior is quite worn and dated, it doesn’t look like it’s had a tarting up since 1974 - dig the pine-panelled walling and yucky illustrations on the toilet doors! Blame Enterprise. Not too bad for a pint, better than the Bird in Hand over the road, that’s for sure. Dean has now taken over the Prince of Wales in Tilehurst and the assumption is that Enterprise will flog this place off for housing in the not-too-distant future, which would be a shame – if I were local I’d use it.

Small back street boozer, with a friendly, welcome atmosphear, fine real ale & a selection of lagers & other beers.
