This is a place to be all the time because of the great hospitality of the staff members. I failed to register my car and was served parking ticket but this was resolved immediately I provided evidence that I came to the pub. I really love the hospitality

Personal encantador y un ambiente agradable allí. Ha sido mi Pub Local desde septiembre cuando me mudé cerca y no me gustaría estar en ningún otro lugar. Descuento para estudiantes acaba de ser introducido, que es una ventaja adicional a un pub ya grande con una gran terraza y una buena selección de mesas de billar y un tablero de dardos. Cada partido de fútbol se muestra en múltiples pantallas, sin importar cuál sea la competencia. Lo recomendaría a cualquier estudiante en la zona!

La taberna Palmer es nuestro local y nos encanta. El personal es muy amable y acogedor y siempre es un gran ambiente, con tantos buenos eventos como el concurso o la música en vivo. Hay una gran selección de cervezas y buenas mesas de billar y un montón de pantallas que muestran deportes. Realmente no puedo recomendar la taberna lo suficiente!

With much sadness i would have to say that sam is the most selfish self centered person I have ever met. After lending her a £1000 worth of disco lights to turn her pub into a venue, and had her complete assurance that they would be looked after. Not true. She actually managed to lose half of it and accuse me of taking it. Making my lights worthless, I have now lost £1000 . She keeps saying she is there for you guys . But no.... she is there for herself..

This pub is a reverse TARDIS: small on the inside, massive on the outside! The sun soaked beer garden is the best I've been to in Reading, and the food is amazing. However, unfortunately their selection of ciders is lacking, which is why I can't rate 5 stars. Definitely would recommend though.

Classic example of don't judge a book by its cover. Whilst the aesthetics of this place aren't the most appealing we had a great meal here. The food was genuinely delicious and the bar man was clearly very proud to serve us. We all enjoyed our food and drinks too. Not too pricey either.
