Right on the edge of Tilehurst, this low-beamed village pub is popular with locals from surrounding suburbia and visitors walking open fields to Sulham Woods via the dovecote tower at Nunhide Manor. With darts and pool facilities, a garden gazebo, a conservatory and a recently-uncovered fireplace now containing a wood-burning stove, all weathers are catered for. Bus 33 or a short walk from routes 15 & 17.
