| A new name but still the miserable jobs worth level bar-staff. You can't polish a turd... Waitrose_Ernie - 11 May 2012 16:16 |
| Excellent scruffy REAL pub . Good selection of well kept real ales, and ciders for them who likes that sort of thing. Gruff, unsmiling service (but efficient) - probably preferable to oily and obsequious:-) Nowt wrong with toilets these days. 8/10 long may it continue. Upton_Parker - 4 May 2012 15:28 |
| Slightly unnerving experience on a return to the home-town - the refurbishment is a bit like seeing your grungy heavy-metal loving kid brother suddenly have a wash and a shave and put on a suit and tie for a job interview. Still excellent choice of ales, dispensed by a throughly unsmiling and largely uncommunicative barkeep who looked as if he wanted to be anywhere but behind a bar and seemed to find it a wearisome and irritating problem to answer a simple question from the punter in front of us about the cider/perry pump. Try smiling and interacting with people in a friendly manner, old son - it doesn't cost anything and might even make you more money over the bar when people remember your winsome smiling face.

| Now the Alehouse still the same. Excellent selection of real beers and cider cosy rooms out back a must visit if you are in Reading Ferb - 11 Apr 2012 20:27 |
