Family-friendly, 1930s style village community pub, extensively refurbished, but retaining much original wood panelling and three real fires. Situated on a country lane at the edge of Sonning Common bordering the countryside. The large garden has plenty of seating, a children's play area and a separate barbeque area. A permanent beacon was installed in the car-park for Queen Elizabeth's Platinum Jubilee.
