A nice comfortable pub , nicely decorated. 3 seating areas. A nice range of ales. I cannot comment on the food. As it's not always available. The current staff are really good, friendly and knowledgeable. I've gone here for many years over its various transitions.

Popped in on a recent Saturday to find the pub almost empty. It wasn’t the warmest of greetings by the woman behind the bar either. Ordered a pint of bitter and was amazed to be charged £5.60. Now I know why it was almost empty on a Saturday evening. I want to support pubs which are gong through a tough time but I can't if they charge rip off prices and are unwelcoming.

I was alone in my first visit, and during the second, a Chinese like girl was taking pictures and a couple talked about their day routine. Cousy, nice and a place with its own beer that I would visit again.

The historic place of washer women has been transformed into a modern pub. Nice ambience to chill out with, try to find the smoke zone is tricky.

Was the right amount of busy when we went, and the log fire was lovely
Really nice pub and location in Newbury town centre. Always have good beers on, decent gin selection and the seating areas are really nice and cosy. For such a warm pub however, the staff from our recent experience leave you feeling cold. At a busy time we visited recently it felt like we were an inconvenience for making the place even busier going by the sighs from behind the bar. And then on our last visit, much quieter, we sat round the back only for the three female staff members to have a full on argument at full volume. Really hope those in charge read this and take on board the criticism as it only takes a smile, a welcome and arguments kept behind-closed-doors to make this really decent pub next level excellent. Hope to return.

We went for a family meal the other week and the waitress overheard that it was someone's birthday in our group and brought out a dessert with a candle in it without even being asked!! The food was lovely and all homemade. The beers and wines are really nice and the staff are so friendly. A great pub for eating and/or drinking - my fave in Newbury.

A friendly pub, with 7 pumps of cask ale, which change frequently. It is situated very close to the railway station, so always a good shout for a final one before train.
