The Sun Inn, Reading

This is a story of a pub with a lot of potential but the no one with the will to make it what it could be. I was there this week with my girlfriend when she was covering the pub while they decided what to do with the pub.

Although the pub, like many, needs some love and attention; bit of cleaning and decorating; it is essentially a good pub with some really good punters who started coming back after a bad experience with the previous landlord.

Yeah it needs some work but the potential is clear, the pub could be such a good pub in the hands of a good friendly landlord/lady and a good management company. It wouldn't take much and taking improved vastly in the week I was there.

Unfortunately today we left and they were shutting the pub down, hopefully only in the short term, but it was such a shame to leave the pub as maybe the last people that drink in there.

Thanks to the customers for making us feel welcome, it always helps in that sort of business and lets hope someone with some ambition takes over the pub.

The Raven, Bath

Great pub, go in there. Nothing really bad to say about the place, prices are fine and food is great as well. Personally the Raven Gold is the best pint I have drunk in Bath. As a previous post said, this and the Salamader are very close but this pub just wins. But there so close just go in both!

The Royal Oak, Bath

In my top 3 pubs in Bath, beer is excellent and a good choice. People are really nice as well, never any trouble and a good function room out the back that is used for big football/rugby matches. Also nice garden. If I had to be picky the toilets could do with a bit of a redecor but apart from that its great!
