this is the place to be for MUSIC and beer, Don't be alarmed on some nights when there is a huge crowd waiting to get in sometimes dependant on visiting top DJ's.
also do not be worried about the door staff as they do a great job to protect the public from idiots that are high on drugs or try and take drugs into the venue they have a ZERO tollerance, with door staff doing random searches if your carrying drugs or weapons such as knives Dont Bother going there.
I go there sometimes and in my wheelchair if it is not too busy at the weekends and sometimes they have asked me to not go in as the place is too crowded for the wheelchair, other times no problem they keep an eye on you so there is no problem with anyone getting too drunk and falling over you,
a great atmosphere throughout the place,
basic furniture and fittings but plenty of beer selections,
reminds me of the old spit and sawdust pubs of the 60's

rude management, very anti against forces veterans on rememberance day 2009
slow service and ignorant bar staff
I was in the pub when a young soldier asked for service and the woman was talking to her manageress at the time looked up at him and went to the opposite end of the bar to serve another person who still had half a pint to finish,
Ive never returned to that dive.

Another great pub to visit with good food and good beer selections with plenty of room to move about, also caters for people in wheelchairs which is a big bonus over some of the pubs in Reading

This used to be the Battle Inn, but it is now a polish pub for polish migrants that come into reading for an evening gathering,
not much cop if you cant speak the language as they dont speak yours most of the time,

to much of a problem with mango's, drug deals go on under the nose of the management, door security know this and do nothing as their jobs are at risk.

First of all is the greeting you get from the staff, its like your part of a family, their family.
then there is he nostalgia of the Traff as its locally known the place is steeped in history with conections to the Parachute Regiment and its attached regiments and battalions, Armed Forces day the Traff is heaving with people from all over the world, and I mean from all over the World.
If your a visiter to Aldershot then this is the place to go to find out all about the history of the armed forces that used to be in "the shot" (Loll the Landlady ) can tell you most of the stories some will make you laugh and some will make you cry but there is a comraderie that the Traff will always be there for you the serving soldier, and those that have gone on before you that are with affection remebered. GREAT BEER, GREAT BANTER, GREAT PUB.
