The St George and Dragon, Wargrave

I visit this pub at regular intervals usually as part of a walk. Other reviewers seem to have been unlucky. This is really a restaurant but whenever I turn up for drinks only the reception has always been friendly. With so much of the Thames being off limits to places of refreshment the location of the St George is excellent - sit on the terrace or the Thames river bank for great views and duck feeding.

On the food side, choose carefully and the food can be fine and not too heavy in nature either.

The Waggon and Horses, Twyford

Good, but could be an excellent pub it they didn't spoil one half of it with a massive plasma TV that is not really used anyway and which prevents the fire being lit on this side. The seats in the other, nicer half of the bar are bound to be taken when you arrive!

Otherwise note the decent beer garden and worthwhile barbecues in summer.

This pub is situated at the entrance to a good circular lakeside walk (boots needed if ground is wet) so ideal for a half day excursion.
