Seven Red Roses, Lower Earley

It's a complete dump, only went there cos we had a power cut at home a couple of summers ago, wouldn't bother to return until the next one!

The Earley Retreat, Lower Earley

Hummmm, not so impressed, have been several times, the staff seem too happy to chat with their riff raff mates who sit at the bar and get in my way.
When we had the meal deal, 2 steaks with a bottle of wine for �9.99 last summer they rarely had a cold white which is pretty poor as we were there at around 7:30pm.
Another time they had no white whatsoever, asked for a substitute and told no deal, no apologies whatsoever, what a poor show, so I had the red and my partner had white from the bar which we had to fork out �5 plus a glass for, what an apalling rip off!
Food though was good for the price in the main.
Atmos leaves a lot to be desired, aforementioned bar staff and their mates who wear vests in all seasons didn't help.
Blue ones.

The George, Earley

Agree with a whole lot of the other reviewers, have been there several times over past 2 years or so.
Service always slow at bar, beer is average, food average to OK.
One time when hungry ate a stone cold steak which we should have sent back.
When server collected plates she asked was our meal OK, we responded not really the steaks were cold.
Not even a shrug of the shoulders in this case, perhaps we have "mugs" printed on our foreheads, some response would have been nice, or a poke in the eye with a sharp stick perhaps!
We won't be rushing back I can tell you.
Blue ones.
