More than 10 years since my last visit, and I got a better impression of the pub than previously. A very quiet Thursday night in January, with most villagers tucked up in bed, or whatever they do rather than support their local pubs. Two hand pumps with Landlord and a very nice Amwell Springs Stay Jammy English bitter - similar in style to West Berkshire Good Old Boy, if memory serves. But well over £5 for a 3.8% beer gives me some insight into why everyone else was in bed.

I wasn't expecting to find this pub open. However, it had a soft launch on Monday this week and was fully opened on Tuesday.
There were plenty of young staff on hand to assist, both behind the bar and on the customers' side of the bar. There are a couple of seating areas to the right-hand side as you enter, with another to the left. At the rear is a large dining space.
It's just the 2 handpulls at the bar. These were clipped with Rebellion IPA & Butcombe Gold today. The pub is certainly well appointed and is obviously designed to attract a well-heeled clientele. But it didn't really do it for me.

A bit better last visit - some local ales in decent nick. Still don't really care much for the interior though.
Oct 2013
From the outside an attractive ivy-clad pub which might have been a nice, characterful place 30 years ago but it ain't now. The charming old lounge bar doors are all that remain, as the interior has been opened out and feels quite bare, the weird shimmery green wallpaper in a couple of places notwithstanding. Despite putting itself forward as a food pub it all seems rather half-arsed - the furnishings are uncared for, the glass chess set was missing numerous pieces and they’re clearly having massive issues with leaks and damp judging by the state of the ceiling; it didn't sell itself at all. Two ales on, Doom Bar and West Berks GOB which weighed in at an over-inflated £1.90 and was a short measure (the solitary worker dashed off to sort some food the moment I got my change) though at least what I did get was decent. There’s a large rear patio which gives access back out onto the street. Whilst out here I noted a rear dining area closed off and unlit. Back inside I noticed a metal dog bowl on the floor so assume it’s canine-friendly in here unless it was actually to catch drips from another leak. Would be easily the weakest outlet in the area if wasn't for the appalling shed of the Queens Arms and I don’t envisage a return to either.
