| You will either need a car or a limited bus service to get to this pub (which is more of a restaurant now) as it is miles away from Reading town. Run by the villagers now it was in danger of closing altogether so we should be pleased about that if nothing else. mcroyal - 13 Aug 2010 13:59 |
| Two months on and we though we'd try a Sunday lunch. Plenty of polite young staff, although mostly very low on awareness. Getting initial drinks and refills was hard work. Our lunch was served just barely warm. I was told by the young lady serving table that "Tinners was off " but that all other "draught" bears were available. I asked what alternative cask ales were obtainable and she disappeared, ne'er to return. Last seen 10 minutes later chatting sociably to people in the adjacent bar. We struggled to obtain a desert and when the bill finally arrived, discovered that all the drinks from another table had been added to our tab. To be fair, the pub waived our drinks bill. To be fair I in return passed a cash tip directly to the young lady behind the bar who was the only staff member with any obvious customer awareness, constantly directing her colleagues. I think we�ll leave it a while before we return. Hellskitchen - 4 Oct 2009 17:22 |
| Now revamped and renamed THE SHURLOCK, the interior very much reflects the modern �gastro� pub and is nothing like the photo displayed on this web site. The pub has a large garden equipped with plenty of picnic tables, allowing for finer weather (not Summer 2009!). As it is so very new, we were a little anxious when we visited with friends today, but needlessly. All the staff are very friendly, after being seated the proprietor (?) visited each table to welcome the diners. The only minor gripe is that only two cask ales were on offer, most pubs offer a minimum of three. A very enjoyable lunch at affordable prices, we are looking forward to a return visit. This looks to be a promising start. Hellskitchen - 15 Aug 2009 16:53 |
| This has now been revamped after being brought by a locals consortium. The inside is a lot lighter and is set up for dining (a small drinking area remains). Two ales still available (Pride and a guest - St Austell Tinners yesterday) which are expensive (�3.30!) but excellent quality. New incarnation is finding its feet but things look positive - well done to all those who kept this open and have given it a new lease of life. Quinno - 5 Jul 2009 23:09 |
| A pretty good find - had been trying to get in here for a while but was constantly thwarted by the irregular opening hours (on more than one occasion it was shut despite the opening times posted outside begging to differ!). Inside is a pub that feels fairly unspoiled by recent history - all dark wood and sooty smells. Three ales on (Brakspears plus A.N.Other plus a good guest beer of St Austell's Tinners). Quality OK but could be a bit better. Only managed to stop for 15 minutes, but will be making an effort to come back and get a more rounded view as the first impressions were good.
