The Alehouse, Reading

Another quick note in reply to lauraeva's post.

lauraeva's failure to notice the absence of Wychwood beers and saying that none of the ales were to her liking is incredible - did she drink all 8 and not realise that none were Wychwood? Doesn't make sense. I bet she didn't even go in.

The Crispin, Wokingham

The old landlord has gone back to the Jolly Anglers in Reading. The problem he had in the Crispin was due to that ghastly woman he was involved with, but now they've split hopefully he'll do a good job in the Jolly. Meanwhile, the new landlord of the Crispin is trying hard to win back all the old regulars the evil witch threw out, and he deserves all the support he can get.

The Alehouse, Reading

The manager that runs it is doing a good job in difficult circumstances. The pub-co that owns it know full well that it's the only decent pub in the whole chain, and that the chain would probably collapse if it weren't for this pub propping it up, yet they insist on making life difficult for the manager. One such example is the impeccable timing of of the cellar refit - right before the busiest time of year! It seems that the pub-co (like all pub cos) is run by a group of blithering idiots.

Having said that - still very good. Service is fast and friendly, except when the tall bloke with dreds is working, who's as rude as f**k.
