I always forget that this pub in Reading exists, that is no criticism of it in any shape or form. It's simply dependent on which Hotel I am staying.
The pub has a large open area, with bar at the rear. It also caters for food, I cannot comment on that as I have yet to sample the offerings.
There is ample TV screens dotted around to enable sports broadcasts.
Definitely worth a visit every time I come to Reading.
Came here for one night by myself whilst on a work course and the staff and regulars made me feel like I'd been coming here for ages, cannot recommend enough. Especially the karaoke nights
A nine year association with this once good pub is at an end.
I have used £sterling over the nine years and a mix of English and Scottish bank notes without question.
Tonight I handed over a Scottish £20 note, to have it returned with a stern warning, "although it states Sterling, we do not accept Scottish Bank Notes", is this racism, it felt like it, I was person non grata.
I politely refused to hand over Sterling in an acceptable format.
Thank you, Hope Tap for the humiliation.
I will not be back!
One of the best subways in terms of service. The staff are very polite and caring about orders. Also, nice ambiance inside Brunel arcade inside Reading station.

I love big tasty the original and the one with mushroom, try it and see that I am telling you the truth, the chicken strips are awesome, although I didn't find big tasty in London last time I visited, I hope they will go back to make it available
