This Pub is Permanently Closed

Formerly a pleasant community pub, called the Dolphin, focusing on beers from the nearby Ascot Ales, before conversion into a Caribbean restaurant in 2009. Whilst still trading, planning permission was sadly granted in late 2013 to redevelop the site for housing. It was closed in January 2014, and demolished 2 years later.

Historic Interest

The Globe used to cater for tradesmen and the labouring class, and it did not have any accommodation for persons or horses. The land, all 168 foot of it, was sold to John Edwards and John Cox. It did not become licensed until 1861, and the first mine host was an H. Lee, followed in 1864 by George Clarke. It was sold in 1876 for the sum of £1433. 6s 8d to Simonds Brewery of Reading. But in those days The Globe was a little closer to the town centre; on the land now occupied by the Jehovah’s Witness Kingdom Hall. It moved to the site in 1938. It has changed name more than once. On the 13th May 1981 it was The Sportsman, on the 19th July 1983 it became Bridgers, and on the 20th December 1996 it became The Dolphin, until this closed in 2009. It was lastly a restaurant. (Ken Clarke’s book ‘Time Gentlemen Please’)
