Old Five Bells, Slough

Nicely located just off the High St and opposite the church. A Greene King house, the interior has fallen to the ravages of internal knock-through but to be fair there's quite a bit of character with plenty of (modern) wood panelling, black beams and muted lighting. L-shaped, with a dart board to the right and at the end of the main drag is a conservatory extension and an expansive well-tended garden beyond. Presence of a soft toy grabber lets the side down though. Large screen switched off, so presume sports is shown sometimes. Four pumps with three ales; GK IPA, Abbot and Truman's Runner which was nice and rich though a little over-vented. Food doing a brisk trade and easily the busiest of Burnham’s pubs that afternoon. Quite a decent little spot, I thought.
