Broad Street Tavern, Wokingham

The Broad Street Tavern feels much more like a proper town centre boozer. You enter the main bar through a corridor, with two small and traditional rooms either side. Beyond, the bar stretches back quite a way to a garden at the rear. It's a Wadworth pub, which meant only Wadworth beers. But we hadn't had anything else from Wadworth during the day and the selection was varied - Horizon, Horizon Chilled, 6X, Henry's IPA, Swordfish & Burnt Orange. Weston's Old Rosie was the real cider. The landlady was very friendly and keen to chat. Once again, the pub was eerily quiet. It was late Friday afternoon and the only customers were in the garden at the rear.

2nd of the Good Beer Guide entries in town. Nice walk through some architecturally pretty streets. In fact, Wokingham is very pretty indeed. This is a greene king pub but they do offer LocALE brews and I went for a never seen before Twyford Tipple, after being offered an approving sample. Decent enough pint but the head instantly disappeared, leaving it a touch lifeless. Visit blogged at http://bit.ly/2nvKsbG

A Wadworth pub with a long narrow single room that leads to a beer garden to the rear.seven pumps on the bar with five waddies beers, 6X, Swordfish, Bishops Tipple, Horizon and IPA with a guest of Island Vectis Venom and Old Rosie Cider on the seventh pump. Decent.
