Ladygrove, Didcotback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
A pub that tries to be all things to all people. At best it's only going to be mediocre - and sadly that's what you get.
Worthy of a visit only if it's on your doorstep.

Nothing to say that would encourage anyone to spend time here. Plonked in an housing estate, with no character. Microwaved food and not very good beer.
Whatever happened to real pubs.

How social commentators in the 1950s would react should they teleport into the twenty first century and be met with the sight of a gargantuan saloon bar full of Didcot's finest, all eating beef madras, one cannot imagine. The latter day, downmarket successor to the Berni Inns of the seventies, this place sums up the UK of today. We were there for the monumental Croatia v England world cup tie in 2008 - Didcot was once in Berkshire and the locals did not hold back in acclaiming that county's superstar, Theo Walcott.

Put the words "GREENE KING" and "DIDCOT" together and what do you get?
HEY PRESTO --- Possibly the worst pub in the world.

Hungry Horse pub. In the middle of a housing estate, with a captive market and no other pubs on the estate. Large pub with a sports bar and a lounge. Good value meals. Fair selection of beers. Family Pub: does what it says on the tin....

This pub/restaurant is close enough to Didcot Parkway train station to ensure that a visit to The Prince of Wales is not necessary for the desparate drinker. It is a good rule of thumb to say that any pub labelling itself as a "family" pub is best avoided. Certainly, this is the case here. However, the competition in the area is pitiful and the owners of this establishment can happily label this pub as the best in Didcot without fear of rebuke. There is, shamefully, no jukebox. Were this to be remedied patrons would be spared some unfortunate tastes in music (or not, as the case may be).
