Didn't try the food but the ale was in a nice condition. We went to have a read and a game of cards, but I'd say it was more of a socialising (read: loud!) pub. Probably a great place to go for a drink with a group of friends though.

Bit of a dive really, friendly enough though. Hook Norton on tap in a drinkable condition.

Lovely little pub next to the Oxford Canal. The menu was pretty good and the quality of the food was reasonable. Wye Valley on tap, and a friendly publican who was happy enough to lend us a pack of cards. Little section off the main bar had a pool table, which was a personal highlight.

Really liked this pub. Nicely spacious, while still feeling cosy. Variety of ales on tap in a good condition. Classic FM on the speaker system was an odd touch!

Pub seemed nice enough, and the menu looked good, but there was only Hobgoblin on tap when we went, and it was barely drinkable! Hopefully a one-off.

Can't sing the praises of this pub enough. We stayed here early January and had a great time. Bob the landlord and his wife (didn't catch her name) were very friendly. The room was tidy, clean, and comfortable. The pub was warm and welcoming; Ale on tap, wood fire, and a billiards table, it doesn't get much better than that! The food was unbelievably good. They had a huge variety of dishes, from traditional fare, to game, and a South African dish which I forget the name of, all of which sounded excellent, and when our meals came they certainly didn't disappoint. If you're ever in Goring for any reason, I strongly recommend this pub.

Walked up to Pangbourne last Saturday, and rolled in just before food stopped at 3. The food was great, not traditional pub fare (a bit classier than that) but quality at a reasonable price, and good real ales, which is always a point scorer for me. The eating area was a bit too restaurant-y rather than pub-y for me, but it still had a nice feel to it, and the service was very welcoming. Great food, great service, great ale.

Wasn't put off by the modernish interior. We tromped in covered in mud and didn't raise an eyebrow, luckily. The food ranges from decadent to very reasonably priced (a section of their menu is dedicated to �5 meals). The portions were good, the staff were friendly and gave great service. Will definitely be back.
