Real ale discount scheme

Bar and restaurant housed in a tastefully converted former industrial building on the waterfront of the River Kennet and owned by Fullers. The smart, modern bar has three handpumps and serves Fuller's beer. Both the inside bar and outside terrace provide an attractive venue for a pint and there is now a mobile bar outside for the summer months. The separate restaurant offers upmarket dining - drinks can be taken in from the bar. Check out the little free museum a bit further up from the boat which features a fully-restored old gypsy caravan from the turn of the century.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
