Oakford Social Club - Reading

The bar staff at this restaurant have adopted a questionable practice of swirling the beer around to create an artificial head. This results in a loss of liquid and diminishes the overall quality of the beer. It appears that many establishments are doing this to save money, which is disappointing. I will not be returning to this pub for at least six months in the hopes that they have stopped this practice. It is worth noting that there is a 5% tolerance for a natural head in a pint, but customers should still receive a full pint of liquid upon request. Unfortunately, it is uncommon to find accurately lined pint glasses in pubs nowadays, with most glasses being filled to the brim.

The burgers are delicious, the drinks are great, the staff is friendly, and the chefs are talented. Leigh made me an amazing burger. I will definitely return the next time I am in Reading.

Opposite Reading station. Relaxed atmosphere, good selection of fraught beer, good range of pub food, nicely cooked.

Venue was nice and tidy. Pint was perfect but the team are the standout. Everyone is genuinely welcoming and attentive which makes for a nicer atmosphere than the alternatives in the town. Talaia, I hope I’ve spelled that correctly, looked after me today and her efficient and friendly service is a credit to the business. All front of house staff made an effort to welcome with a smile in fact. I hope this feedback gets to them, I really appreciated it

The service was impeccable. Flo gave great recommendations for both food and drink. I ordered the big cow and Leigh the chef cooked it wonderfully.
