This was the second pub that we
were visiting as part of a series around Berkshire, and our first stop was in
Newbury. I’d only been to Newbury once before where I spent the day dressed as
a clown on the high street collecting money for charity. That was a very slow
day with very slow traffic; and I’d positioned myself at the end of a street where
bollards would be raised and lowered to let buses through. Apart from passing
the Vodafone headquarters on the way into the village; nothing looked familiar.
This pub was on a street corner which allowed it to maximise its size; and several
locals were calling in en route to the beer festival at the local racecourse.
It was a square bar which was smartly done up with 4 handpumps on its main
counter and two on the side. Gin in a Porter made for a very interesting beer;
but it was quite flavoursome.
