The Fox and Hounds, Theale

4 of us visited this pub for an evening out. As soon as we arrived and before we had settled at a table, the barmaid starting asking us what we wanted to drink. The meals are typical, but overpriced, pub food, everything with chips except the vegetarian options. The food was acceptable, but the vegetarian special, vegetable madras served with rice and garlic bread (!) was inedible. It contained overcooked veg, in a watery bland sauce with no hint of curry flavour. And the garlic bread didn't arrive either. I expected to be offered an alternative or not to be charged, but the waitress was sorry I didn't like it but charged the full price anyway! None of us actually finished the meals which says something. I could not recommend this pub and would not go there again, there are many better pubs in the area.
