Being of thatched roof construction, this Grade II-listed public house has had more than its fair share of catastrophic fires in living memory. However, its re-thatching in 2023 was the first scheduled since 2005 and introduced a distinctive straw greyhound to the roof-line. Dating back to the 12th century, the building became a wayside inn in 1625 when owned by Reading Abbey. With the interior refurbished in 2017, it offers well-kept ales alongside good food in an adjoining restaurant. Beware the 5' 8" headroom, though!
