The Three Guineas, Reading

We had our work night out at the recently renovated cellar bar. The interior design is stylish and chic. Initially, the service was lacking as there was only one member of the bar staff serving, but this was quickly solved with the addition of another staff member. The bar staff were friendly and had a pleasant energy.

The restaurant is much improved after its renovation. It was starting to look a bit dirty before.

The restaurant has been recently renovated, which was much needed. They have a great variety of ales to choose from and a pleasant outdoor seating area to enjoy watching the world pass by.

Far from trading on its location as the only pub in the middle of a massively expanded Reading station, the Three Guineas has upped its game to appeal to century travellers. I recall when this was the rather grubby overcrowded booking office for Reading station and the space has been transformed into a light and airy pub but with clear references to its Great Western Railway heritage, as befits Brunel's original station building. There's a decent range of beers and a good cider (Cornish Orchards) and the sandwiches I've tried were fresh, interestingly tasty and, crucially for a railway hub, served quickly. Next time you're stuck at Reading station due to a missed connection, why not turn the disappointment into an opportunity and check it out?
