The Boundary, Reading

What was Pavlov's Dog is now The Boundary. On entering plenty of booths and TV screens showing the football. No hand pulls on offer here, only lagers. I had a Peroni at £6.70. Pretty busy on a Monday afternoon visit. Food isn't too bad either from what I sampled. Not bad for a quick stop.

Now called the Boundary Bar.Very nicely done up.Warm and inviting modern interior.Two cask beer Doombar and Tea but good selection of keg beers with 3 from Siren.Locals seemed to like the changes as it was very busy.

Shop conversion which, as it retains full glass windows, still feels like a shop. Very much a 'craft beer' venue, with a large selection of keg, tinned and bottled products. Retains one ale on handpump, which should have been Twickenham Grandstand at time of visit but had run out (a lesson here), so diverted to one of the keg brews which was ridiculously overgassed and overchilled (also overpriced). Also appeared to have a couple of fruit ciders on handpump but had lost interest by then. Has a large sports screen and table football, if that is what you want, but otherwise try one of several better venues nearby.
