The roast beef was the standout. Cooked medium-rare, it was incredibly tender and juicy, with a proper Yorkshire pudding that soaked up the gravy perfectly. That&#39;s the dish I&#39;d come back for.

Great Sunday roast, and they&#39;re really welcoming to dogs. Staff were patient when we were waiting for friends.

Despite some issues with the brunch menu, the food we did have was good. Just be aware of the unadvertised 15-minute rule for bottomless drinks.

The Sunday roast beef ribs were so tender and flavourful. The seating was really comfortable too, which made for a relaxed meal.

The new garden is a lovely spot. It&rsquo;s quite spacious and feels very peaceful. I enjoyed sitting out there with my lunch&mdash;the fresh air was a nice touch. The space itself is very well done.

The signature burger was spot on. What really made it for me was the house red they suggested - a nice, earthy Pinot Noir that cut through the richness perfectly. A solid pairing. The burger itself was juicy and well-seasoned, just how I like it. Been a minute since I enjoyed one this much.

The staff here are always so friendly and efficient. They really make you feel welcome, like you&#39;re a local. It&#39;s a nice, relaxed vibe.

Service was spot on. Staff were really attentive, checked in just the right amount. Made for a relaxed evening.

Burgers were tasty, buffalo fries were a hit. Bartender was helpful and suggested a good cocktail. Quick bite sorted.

The staff, especially Leera and Noah, were super friendly and attentive, which really enhanced our dining experience.

Great spot in Reading for a quick bite. Food was tasty, drinks menu is huge. Perfect for when you need something fast and good. They handle big groups well too. Solid choice.

The staff here are so warm and chatty, really makes the whole place feel cosy and relaxed. Just a nice, friendly vibe all round.

Had a last-minute birthday for a friend here. The manager was so kind, squeezed a table for 12 of us in right before closing. Food came quickly and was tasty - perfect for a big group that just wants to chat.

The pretzel with rarebit dip is a solid snack with a pint. The bubble and squeak balls had a nice jalape&ntilde;o kick.

Caught the match here last night. Love that they have the big screens for sports but it never gets too loud. The pool table and darts area is tucked away nicely, so you can actually have a conversation over your food. Solid spot.

Popped in for a quiet drink by the log fire. The snug was perfect for it. They had a decent selection of whiskies, which was a nice surprise. The one I tried paired well with the setting. A bit pricey, but you&#39;re paying for the atmosphere.

Paul was a great waiter, really on top of things. The sirloin steak and Canadian burger were both cooked just right. Everything came out hot and timed well. Made for a relaxed evening.

The set lunch bread and butter pudding was the highlight. The pudding itself was warm and soft, not too sweet, and the clotted cream ice cream was rich and cold. A really good combination.

I was impressed by the variety of meats and vegetables available. The service was attentive, making for a pleasant dining experience.

Julie and Alun were super helpful with my gluten-free options. Quick to suggest a few things, sorted me out fast. Made the whole lunch break easy.

They&#39;ve clearly been working on things. Staff were more attentive this time, service felt smoother. My main course arrived hot, which is a basic thing but makes such a difference. A step in the right direction.

Had the grilled octopus again since the new owners came in. It&rsquo;s just as good as last time&mdash;super fresh and tender, with that perfect char. Really glad they&rsquo;ve kept the quality up.

The real ales here are in top shape. Had a pint of their seasonal bitter, poured perfectly, with that proper cask-conditioned taste. Just the right balance, not too heavy.

The upstairs room was perfect for our wedding meal. Jane helped us plan everything, and Katie and the team were so friendly on the day.

The full English here is spot on. I always look for places that use free-range eggs, and theirs were cooked just right. A solid start to the day.

Stayed here for a couple of nights. The full English breakfast was spot on, really hit the spot. The room was clean and cosy, and the old building itself is lovely. Felt very comfortable.

Popped in with a few mates for a catch-up. The vibe is spot on, especially with the pool tables. The service was quick and friendly. My old fashioned was well-made, a proper sipper for the evening. Solid spot for a casual drink.

Came for a Christmas lunch with the family. The turkey was spot on, really moist and the gravy was just right. Staff were lovely and kept things moving. Felt like a proper festive meal without the usual Christmas Day price tag.
