Went today for first time, and what a pleasant surprise, a little gem. Good food and excellent beer, will visit again when in the area.

Not much of a pub in the traditional sense, however quite comfortable. Doom Bar very average and over priced.

Look if your interests don't include eating and beautiful scenic gardens then it would pointless visiting here, if however you are then this pub is a must

I agree with pubinspectors took an absolute age to get served. Shame, it could be really good pub.

New people running this now after what can only be said too be one of the very worst bar mangers (woman) I have ever come across. Very friendly now with excellent service behind the bar. Hope the new management does well

I like the people that run this pub, although as already mentioned it is really a oriental restaurant not a pub.

Landlord and Landlady try hard. The pub is always clean and well presented, good on them. But it's customers lowers the pubs standards making it a place not to go

In all honesty i was surprised by how i liked this pub being in a drug user part of town. It is a very large pub with several beers on tap including two real ales. Quite nice in all

Probably the best spoons in town but that does not say much. Beer choice good but not always up to scratch. Not bad food if you like eating among down n outs.

Smart and clean inside with plenty of room and good seating. Advertises food all day but not the case when I popped in. Good beer at reasonable price.

Great pub with good beer and friendly staff. Pity about the pub bores though.

Does not sell real ale but a superb pint of Guinness can be had. Very tiny but well worth a look if in this part of town. Interesting regulars during weekday afternoons and friendly. I like this pub but landlord please clean toilets a more often.

Excellent beer, although well over priced, and nice setting with friendly regulars. What I object to however with this pub is the fact that wherever you may be located inside the two televisions constantly on dominate, showing rubbish with the bar staff sat watching it rather than serving. A great shame for this old and trad pub.

The Pheasant, Reading
Wot a change in this tiny pub, local guy taken over as landlord and has really cleaned the place up and made it an enjoyable venue once more. I had stopped using the place at one stage but now perhaps the best boozer in Reading. More good news is that Anita & Joyce are once more behind the bar, the bad news so is Tracey, but we can't have it all. Well done Delvin , keep the pub afloat.
