High Street pub located on a pedestrian area and quite difficult to find if you're driving and not from the local area. The pub is fairly featureless inside with a modern interior. Ringwood Best & Fullers London Pride were the only 2 real ales. Both handpulls can be found at the rear of the bar. A cask of Thatchers Heritage cider was sat on the bar, which for me, was this pub's redeeming feature. Service was friendly. Would visit again if I was ever in Bracknell town centre. But I can't think of a reason why I would ever find myself here again!

Only redeeming feature of Bracknell town centre (worse than Cumbernauld), very friendly barman, undrinkable Skinners beer on gravity.

Monday night, dead as a dodo. 3 customers. Betty Stogs was complete vinegar but the Pride was superb. No sign of the landlord - did he see me coming?

Landlord currently in dispute with CAMRA about paying for his newsletter ad. Avoids anyone who looks like they may be collecting the money.
Shame, seeing as the pub is now in the GBG on the strength of the quality of his ales......

Beer change - now selling Cornish Knocker from Skinners instead of Betty Stogs for a VERY reasonable �2.70. Excellent condition on Saturday. Still not totally convinced by the pub but good beer for the beer desert which is Bracknell town centre.

Improved massively. Last time I went here about two years ago the place was falling apart and the locals weren't at all welcoming. Now it is a completely different story the whole interior has been done up the crowd seem younger and more friendly. Bit pricey and the heavy music is questionable on a Friday night but otherwise a nice place. Apparantly the food is good too.

Much improved from its former days as a hangout for ne'er-do-wells, it's now "Bracknell's first gastropub". A lovely building, genuinely old, and comfortable, but lacking atmosphere at times. Excellent Betty Stogs, sells Pride as well. The food is very good, but VERY pricey. Last time we ate there the tables were not even set. I hope they make a go of it, but need to do more to attract people in the current economic climate.
