Hamilton Hall
And quite a hall it is. Who would have thought that this majestic and well decorated room was in the artillery of the Wetherspoons group. Outside, next to the exit to the busiest station in London is room for bustling crowds to share a drink, while within, beyond the heavy set doors is a [...]

Pommeler’s Rest(wetherspoons)
This fairly small Wetherspoons is a sham and puts the notoriously high class area to shame on a level that its city Wetherspoon counterparts would be thoroughly ashamed of! To begin with the place is infested by loudmouth elderly fish market men with booming unfriendliness and filling up the space like blimps. The bar [...]

The Liberty Bounds (wetherspoons)
A Multi-entrance pub (yet all the doors are pretty much on the same side) with extravegant finishings on the skin of the pub but it has been dressed up, like most wetherspoons it is a twisty turny honeycomb of a layout with the bar set deep to the back of the pub [...]

The Crosse Keys (wetherspoons)
Infamous among the wetherspoons of the world, this is perhaps the most luxurious among them and its glamour is no secret. It is the prime pub spot for the cheap drinking city-goer, from the outside- hidden in the walls of the surrounding banks this has the literal look and feel of a [...]

The Back of Beyond(Wetherspoons)
This large Wetherspoons provides an array of doors as a front entrance to open out onto the less-than-clean streets of reading at night but in the winter provides safe shelter and warm couches by the window with a hearty ale. The layout of the venue is set into 3 basic columns of [...]

The Monks Retreat
Apparently a monk climbing up a bit of rope makes a pub good, I think not! The centre piece for this overcrowded, under-belly of the lower class Wetherspoons is host to some of the most grotty persons in the town of Reading. I can now see what the monk is scrambling away from; [...]

The Green Man(Wetherspoons)
Using the guide of other memorable websites I came here hunting down a pub by the name of the Green Man. Above ground however it is invisible and only accessible from a complex called “1 Poultry”. Obscure but once downstairs you quickly realise its your bog-standard airport Wetherspoons. Quite small bar for a [...]

Shakespeares Head (wetherspoons)
From outside on the bustling street the shakespeare’s head looks like something of a jewel in a bucket of sand, that is from the outside until you experience it within. Once through the old fashioned hotel-front off the london street; the place opens up like a badly designed aeroplane hanger, bustling with the [...]

Penderel Oak(Wetherspoons)
As luck would have it there is a Wetherspoons situated underneath a certain office block of much reported fame. Okay private comments aside this place is a well situated, well laid out pub with a platform sitting at the front of the venue leading back to a bar on the left and seating in [...]
