The Prince of Wales, Kintbury

At last someone has taken this pub over and has plans to improve it. Decor is pretty awful, but the food is good and yes, there is now wine by the glass and bottle (instead of a box). Food prices are fairly reasonable too. Be good when it has had a makeover. Friendly landlord and landlady. Open all day Sat and Sun and now there is some decent real ale too, provided by West Berks Brewery.

The Furze Bush, Ball Hill

Used to go to this pub as it has a lovely garden, but when I went there one boxing day the service and food were dreadful and so did not go back until last Sunday. We cycled there in the hot weather and got there midday. A couple in front had just been served. The barwoman then walked off and proceeded to lay the tables in the restaurant even though she could see we were waiting. Stood there for 7 minutes and gave up. Got on our bikes and cycled to better pub. Will never go back. Only giving them 1 point for the garden. Shame this doesn't get taken over by some decent landlord who wants the pub to succeed.

The Downgate, Hungerford

This used to be a good pub for ale and cheap pub grub, but unfortunately they have put their prices up far to high for basic fayre. How can anyone justify a jacket spud and beans for over �6?!!
