Hook & Tackle, Reading

No longer the Hook and Tackle, this is now Namaste Restaurant and Bar. Came here to try the food which is of a Nepalese persuasion. Felt a little on edge here on my Friday night visit. Quite busy. Just lager on offer here but food was pretty good.

A little off the beaten track but a fairly smart looking pub and the recent refurb works quite well. Three handpulls with just two in use,the beers available were very mainstream, London Pride and Blacksheep Bitter, both at a very good price of £3.00 a pint, however the quality of my pint of the latter wasn't great regardless of it being the first pint served of the day.If they can up the beer quality here I would consider a return,but as it stands,not likely although I did like the pub itself.
