This Berkshire rural country pub was taken over back in March 2005 by Mike and Katie
Robinson. It underwent some refurbishment to improve the kitchen facilities and to increase
the seating area for food and now seats around 45 in informal and cosy surroundings. We
have tried to maintain the historic atmosphere of the pub, which
was originally opened to satisfy the thirst of the workers in the
local brick kiln. Children are welcome in the restaurant and
garden as are dogs (only bar and garden). We have our own
pub dog Sassy who is very sociable and gets on well with
everyone.
There is a varied wine list which ranges from a selection of very
decent, but reasonably priced, house wines up to the more
expensive selection for those who wish to splash out. We also
serve a range of award winning real ales from West Berkshire Brewery.
Since opening, we have won numerous awards and been the subject of a popular 12 episode
TV programme (”Heavens Kitchen”) followed by a number of sequels.
