Best pub in North Camp! Staff and locals are always welcoming. The perfect place to have a Guinness by the fire while waiting for your train!

15/7/24 Landlord seems to think sheltering from the rain under the empty pub’s outdoor seating area damages profits so much he provides you with a lecture before kicking you out in the rain. Ok pub that I’ve drank at before, a shame the landlord is so sensitive about his extremely sticky outdoor tables. 8/11/24 Thank you for your response. A structure with a tinned roof must have magically appeared and disappeared in the 2 minutes I was sat in your pub garden in that case. It seems to have also magically appeared in one of the videos you’ve used to promote your pub on this page. Maybe check outside now, if you’re lucky you might see it. I really don’t appreciate being called a liar, especially by one.

I angered the landlady - the train station drop off area was completely full, and there was no room for me to turn round. I dared drive into the pub’s carpark to turn round. She came up to me to have a big shout. It felt a bit unhinged. She bellowed at me, as I sat there, “2 things, firstly can’t you read!? And secondly, you came flying in here!! We’ve got kids playing in the park, you could have hit them!” I can read. I didn’t come “flying in” I had to stop to let another car out, how fast could I possibly be driving?? I’m guessing she was having a tough day, but in polite society there’s no need for her shouting like that. It’ll be tough for me to stop here for pint ever again when waiting to collect people from the station, which is something I did semi regularly

My Husband and I had our wedding reception at this pub. Our experience was wonderful. They sorted the food, tables, table covers, bows for the back of the chairs etc. It looked amazing. The food was what we requested, and was very tasty. They even sorted out our last-minute theme decoration drop-off and checked the play area, as we had many little children with us. I would 100% recommend this pub.

Not at all friendly. I used to come here often when Margaret was landlady, but on arriving there yesterday my car was approached by a woman as I was sat chatting to my friend in the car. I wound my window down and I was told that I couldn't park there in quite a gruff way as, whoever the woman was, didn't bother with asking whether we were pub customers - just went on about the signs and that I was going to get fined for being there - decision made - will not be returning.

We hired the hall for a 21st birthday which turned into a surprise engagement!. Excellent staff, very accommodating. Very good for around 40 people also if needed can sit in the pub area as well for older people to have a rest from the party music. Access to outside garden area as well and easy transport in the area if visitors want to drink alcohol. Very good price, but speak with the landlady as can vary dependent on how many people.

Pub is alright, food is decent. There was horrible drunk men around harassing people and when reported, no action was taken. Very unprofessional behaviour won’t go again

Arrived at this pub bearing in mind we had been warned about the management and their attitudes being poor. Went in respectfully ordered our drinks and sat down. Whilst I was on my way in I was being stared and made to feel uncomfortable by 4 men outside. Had to go back to my car to get change to pay for this pool. On my way back, I was blocked by one of the men unable to get back into the pub and was given inappropriate comments right in front of my face. They knew I was alone so thought it was good to intimidate a 20 year old girl. After they did this, the men sat down continued to make comments about my appearance and my behaviour to the harassing gentlemen. I went in and told my partner who came out to my defence as any right person would do. However the land lady came out and asked what happened and I explained the situation very calmly and appropriately, hoping she’d understand as a woman. And instead of defending the victim, they protected their regulars and made my feelings and experience invalid and kicked me out in a very unpleasant way

Never been here before until today. Really good value for money. Had lunch, food was so nice, and inexpensive, I've paid more elsewhere for what I had and it's been bad. So this was really good. Very friendly ladies behind the bar also! And very accommodating and helpful when asking for a highchair for the baby. Also looks like it has a nice outdoor space too!

Went for impromptu Sunday lunch. Best described as a proper quaint english pub with loads of character. Staff were awesome from the start. Sense of humour, chatty, cheeky and cheerful. A credit to the place, thanks. Food was good but not spectacular. Plenty of veg, meat, sauces, gravy, etc. No complaints at all. If you want fine dining then this is not where you should come. If you want a hot, filling, typical British sunday lunch, then give this place a try. £11.50 for main plus apple crumble and custard. Drinks were reasonably priced too. £38 all in for 3 of us. Thanks for making us feel welcome.

Something you rarely find these days, an independently owned pub with a very warm welcome. Footy on the telly, great selection of beers, friendly staff and in Margaret a top landlady. We often pop in for a drink (very reasonably priced) and it’s like a home from home. We recently hired the back room for our son’s birthday party. The buffet supplied by Margaret was first class and we were able to use the room as we pleased. If you fancy a quiet pint in a homely environment then you won’t find much better. Equally if you’re looking for somewhere to hold a small party then I’d highly recommend.

Had not been to the Old Ford for a few years, returned last night and WOW. So much has changed, the garden looks great, with loads to keep the little'uns occupied. The seating area is more defined and bordered with a fence, large gazebos keep everything undercover so you can still enjoy your day/night in the rain. Julia and the team really have turned it around for the better. Roll on the end of restrictions so we can get back inside for the entertainment. Without a doubt I'll be revisiting.

Visited a few weeks back but only got round to reviewing it now. One of the best pubs I've ever visited... friendly clientele and staff really make the place and the last train to Reading is late enough for you to let your hair down. Prices are pretty low by southern standards, and honestly you will not regret going here. Wish I still lived in the area!

In this climate when the local pubs are needed most arrogant landlords are using to their advantage. Not this place a real find, local patrons and a brilliant atmosphere.The roaring fire wins hands down and the owner Julia is more than attentive with the restrictions and providing a fantastic service. The locals are a friendly bunch too even if the loudest does support QPR......but that aside a fantastic mix of drinks and bar food with hopefully a great sunday roast when things ease off. All in all a great little treasure and well presented and staffed give this place a visit and you will not be disappointed.

My favourite at Kokoro is Salmon Teriyaki with plain rice. Tried before with noodles rather than rice. But noodles is already sweet and Teriyaki sauce is sweet as well. Rice goes better with Salmon Teriyaki meal. Today I decided to try something new. I ordered a Sweet and Chilli chicken. I'll never have it again. Too dry and chewy.

Lovely sunday lunch at the Stag on the River. We had the vegan roast and also the pork roast which were both very nice, albeit a little overpriced for what you get. Parking is also limited so get there early or park round the corner over the Eashing bridge. The staff were friendly and helpful and we requested extra spuds and yorkies which we were provided complimentary with the meal. Would definitely come back for dinner another day. Thank you.
