The Foresters Arms, Reading

A pleasant little ale house in a residential area about 15 minutes walk from the Town Centre. There a small quiet front bar, called Friday's Bar I think, with a few tables, a fireplace and an unobtrusive jukebox, ideal for the Sunday papers. The back bar has a pool table and gaming machines. Two beers available on my visit, Brakspear and Harvey's Sussex.

small friendly back street local a fair way from the town centre but close to a major bus route. Small choice of cask beers, usually Harveys and Brakspears, both well kept. Two bars a smallish front one and the back bar opens out onto a large garden and access to the outside Gents. A good honest pub with few pretensions.
