Berkshire pub recognised as having some of the best beer in the country
Dave and Jason took over the Victoria in August 2016 and have heavily invested in the pub ever since to make it the success that is today . During the pandemic we invested everything that we had to renovate and upgrade the pub , utilising the time in which we were closed to fully redecorate and upgrade the furniture. We recently closed the pub for 5 days to renovate the wood floor and install a new carpet, also touching up the paintwork whilst we were shut . Dave has been in the pub game since age 17, and I fully recognise that in todays market you have to constantly innovate and upgrade, people come to the pub for the whole social experience, it has to be inviting . In 2022 we won the chronicles pub of the year, and in August 2023 we re-opened the foresters Arms on Brunswick street following extensive refurbishment, the pub had been closed for around 10 months . Both pubs are thriving at the heart of the community in which they serve. A few weeks ago we received the fantastic news from the local CAMRA branch that both of our pubs were to be included in this years Good beer guide - A nationwide publication which is the bible for true beer lovers, the only guide of its kind in which the pubs included have been voted for by local beer enthusiasts, its incredibly hard to get inclusion ! We are so proud of this achievement , now the hard work starts to get those beer lovers to vote to keep us in for the next edition . We are opening our third Reading pub in the next few months - but that is a closely guarded secret ...for now
