There has been a pub on this site since the 1800s (when eels were fished in the nearby River Thames and brought to be sold in the pub), with the current building dating from 1916. Convenient for Caversham centre, it can get busy, but is surprisingly spacious inside. A heated rear patio garden offers level access to the pub. There's plenty of opportunity for a quiet drink or a big family meal, with an extensive Chef and Brewer menu available all day and specials on chalkboards.

Information for this venue is provided by the Reading & Mid-Berks Branch of CAMRA
