Update July 2024 - now re-badged as Signal Box. No reported changes otherwise.

Chain bar popular with shoppers and the evening crowd. Cocktails and various lagers and bottled beers also available. Food is served, including gluten-free and wheat-free options. Don't be surprised if someone starts playing the piano - he's a regular - unpaid but does requests.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
