The Catherine Wheel, Newbury

Quite a change here, from a basic spit and sawdust type boozer of my last visit to a trendy dining pub with six pumps and eight ciders. The food is largely pie based but in spite of this it all feels a bit yummy mummy and middle class, scatter cushions and all that. Nothing wrong with the place but the beer quality was a bit ordinary, common enough in Newbury, and the service like wise. Not the kind of comfortable relaxing experience I prefer in a pub. The music choice was fine, a mix of Pink Floyd, Beatles and Eagles.

Now offering CAMRA discount of 30p per pint / 15p half / 10p Third.
