Planning permission has now been granted for conversion to flats. RIP The County Arms.

Now boarded up, unlikely to re-open.

does anyone remember the name of the landlord before the pub shut in january this year or if anyone knows if he still has a pub in reading.

Good warm ambience. Pity they only take cash.

So-so Greene King pub. Didn�t see much to get excited about, none of the guest ales or seasonals that have mentioned by previous posters. My Abbot was OK.
Pretty fa�ade and plenty of space inside but a bit spartan and characterless � think all the fun got ripped out of here a few yeas back. Seems to be permanently advertising for new management. Darts, quiz machine and pool table, if I remember correctly, along with Sky Sports.
Not one to go out of the way for, maybe pop in if you�re doing the Eldon Arms-Retreat-Lyndhurst ale circle perhaps.

Very nice local. There are now 5 rather than 4 real ales on too. My pint wasn't great, but I'll put it down to it being a one off.

A proper local's local, a proper English pub. Pool table with Winner stays on rules. 4 real ales, including on my visit titanic White Star, which was OK
