Hope and Bear

Description

Boasting not one, but two beer gardens, Hope and Bear is a pub in Reading known for its outdoorsy penchant and classic boozer charm. Dated innards and local ales also provide the backdrop to many a top notch afternoon in town. 

Lash on down to London Road and enjoy what has been claimed to be one of the best pubs in Reading. A, what they call, a 'trad' old haunt brimming with traditional nooks, classic awnings and vintage sass, Hope and Bear is nothing but pub and proud. Settle down in one of the cost chesterfield laden booths, or take to any one of their two renowned beer gardens for a little fun in the sun.

Good ol' fashioned pub grub is the peak of what Hope and Bear have to boast, as guests can enjoy everything from sustainably caught hake at £10.75, or a chocka pork and chorizo burger for a sprightly £10.75 with chips. Bringing Reading a top notch dose of tipples, guests can not only enjoy the whims of world renowned wines, there's a beloved selection of local ales and craft beers to tuck into too thanks to their Cask Marque accreditation.
