This cosy tavern five minutes from Reading Station is a great little retreat for those intimate catch ups with that old friend, for those rowdy get-togethers with the gang or for a good old scream at the big screen on those all important match days. With rustic wooden surfaces, old-school bar stools and antique red leather sofas, sink into a cosy seat with a pint and unwind in your new home away from home.

Specialising in craft beers and real ales, these guys know their way around a pint. Order anything from a Camden Hells lager to a Hogs Back ale and taste your frothy beers, your bitter boozers and refresh that palate. For the peckish, there's a varied menu of pub grub selling the best in deli sandwiches, from chicken tikka toasties to prawn cocktail, all from £2.50.

A great deal on prosecco will bring your bottles to the table at half price all day every Friday. You'll have even more reason to be glad it's the weekend at this lively little joint.
