The pub is in Englefield Green, a 45 min bus ride from Slough on a First Beeline bus No.8. NOTE: the last bus back to Slough is approx 21.00.

Ales are sold in 2 glass sizes (½ pint and pint) which make trying the range and finding favourites easier.

2026 will be their fifth Beer Fest.

Again they will be offering three sessions across the two days for you to come along and taste the best beers and ciders they have found in the last year! If you've followed their socials you will know they have loved getting out there taste testing so you'll be sure to find many new beers you've not tried before and maybe some breweries you've never even heard of before!

The Hall is laid out with long trestle tables which ensures that whether you are coming along solo or as part of a large group you will be surrounded by fellow beer drinkers so a fun social session is guaranteed!

Hot freshly prepared food is available across all sessions,
