Wadworth pub on Theale's High Street which sits adjacent to an old brewery. It was very quiet on our Wednesday afternoon visit, with the barmaid, a guy cleaning the windows and two other customers sat outside to the side of the pub in the sunshine.
Inside, there is a sub-divided bar area and a separate dining area to the rear. There is also a function room/games room upstairs which we did not explore.
Being a Wadworth pub, cask ales were limited to 6X, Horizon & Henry's IPA. Lilley's Raspberry Mojito Cider was also on handpull, but we'd just had that in the last pub we'd visited. TVs show sporting events, but they were off for our visit, with just background music playing.
This was my first visit to Theale in 15 years and whilst I've not visited all of the pubs in the village, I've yet to find a decent one.

Change of licensee a while back, a refurb and a general upswing. Usually has three Wadworth beers on in good nick.
August 2014
Big and open-plan inside, usually stocks one or two of the Wadworth range in decent condition. The refurbished room off the left hand side of the bar is nice though. Sports bar upstairs with a myriad of screens, pool table and darts.
