Quite a smart looking pub located near the river. On entering you can instantly smell the food which is of a South Asian persuasion. I noticed 3 handpulls on offer. Lager is well priced compared to some others in the area. A nice beer garden to the rear. I would definitely come back to sample some food here.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Moderation
Food-led pub between the main station and Caversham, with the main bar along the frontage and a smaller dining room with its own counter off the L-shaped servery. Also has a rear patio beer garden and some tables out on the front pavement area. Four real ales on handpump: Black Sheep, Brakspear Bitter, Otter Bitter (£4.40) and Ringwood's Razor Back. Overall, not quite clear why this is in the current Good Beer Guide, other than to mix things up a bit?
