I see from the stats page that just one pub is now unreviewed in the county after an admirable effort by Quinno 100% is on the cards. Top stuff mate, don't know what the last one is but bite your tongue, wear a hoody and get in and out quick. :notworthy::notworthy::notworthy:

Thank you! All part of the 100% Berks Pub Challenge I set myself in January :D
Funnily enough I did my final two last night - Bridge House (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/1451/) and Bird in Hand (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/83419/) , a rather nice pair to finish with, I thought (the reviews will go up in a couple of days for the official 100% stat!)
Was an interesting evening dodging fallen trees (we almost came a cropper in one heart-stopping moment, Gordon Kaye got a name-check afterwards) as we then drove down to Lambourn to visit the newly-refurbed Malt Shovel (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/70246/)
Potentially there is one more place to do which is currently not listed - a joint called Fishcraft in Eton that's just opened. It's a fish restaurant but apparently has a craft beer wall. So I'll pop in next Friday and see if it meets the required entry standards for a PuG listing...

Ta - we had that down as a stop-off in Eton to see what Paddy and the boys have done to the place :)

Perfect timing! Cheers for that, can't be any worse than the Blarney Stone incarnation!!!

Well done Quinno - finished with over a month to spare! (Cue someone adding half a dozen Frankie and Benny's outlet across the county!)
What's next year's challenge going to be? Northern Ireland is looking a bit patchy review-wise!

How many currently closed but not lost yet to still review if they ever reopen?
How many currently closed but not lost yet to still review if they ever reopen?
Based on research:
Red Lion (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/1865/)
The Crown Inn (http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/1819/)
http://www.pubsgalore.co.uk/pubs/1493
Are the only ones closed that look likely to re-open any time soon. But the Challenge expires on December 31st...

Well done Quinno,
A great feat to do all pubs in your home county,
I think your driver also deserves a medal for getting you to all of these pubs.

I certainly wouldn't have been able to do it without Desmond's chauffeuring and love of lemonade! He's a top companion.
