Serving an extensive list of beers, ales and ciders, get boozy in a home away from home and enjoy your most refreshing pints in Reading at this little tavern. With a great menu of delicious dishes as well, indulge your palate with a classic burger (just £8.95), or nosh some traditional fish and chips for a very British pub experience.
