Popped in for a long session on the beer festival; a dozen or so available, mainly from breweries you've heard of. Not much change inside, it's a comfortable place to sink a good pint of cask.

June 2013
A sports and social club that is open free-of-charge to CAMRA members and Good Beer Guide carriers. Situated in the picturesque tree-lined Croft area and not easy to find from the main High Street (it’s down a badly-signposted narrow alleyway) though a much nicer (if longer) approach is to walk down the canal and through the church. The interior looks like it’s been as it is since the mid-1970’s, with a slightly dated feel. The main room is long and narrow with the bar in a recess. Three ales on the go on my visit, Fullers Chiswick, London Pride and Arkells Cherry Black. My Cherry Black was in super condition and only £3pp. The Chiswick and Pride were also in good shape. There’s a tie-in with Fullers so their beer is regular here. A TV was on with horse racing being shown. I also spotted a dart board, a well-stocked bookshelf and a bulging trophy cabinet. The old boy behind the bar was very pleased to see us and we got a guided tour of the facilities, including two full-sized snooker tables in a side room. He also said that the place was now running twice-yearly beer festivals out on the Croft which sound ideal to me. All-in-all a good little place and I’d happily pop back in again next time I’m in Hungerford. Beware that the opening hours are limited – it closes between 3-7. Rated 7
