A nice pub to have a drink in. It feels a bit seventies (in a good way) upon entering with a three-sided bar centrally situated, lots of copper-shaded ambience at the front bar giving way to a more normal style at the back, where the pool table is to be found (directly in the way of the toilets, so I bet a bit of aggro has started a few times as a result of one too many people filing past). They don't need a pool table here, it should be junked.

Talking of aggro, I popped back in for a beer the other day after an absence of a year or so as I heard the AG may not have long left if developers get their way. I've always had a soft spot for the pub itself and it'd be a shame to see it go.Unfortunately five minutes after we'd sat down a fight broke out (it was only 6pm!). Not a great advert really. There seems to be a local nutcase element in Englefield Green who get barred from one pub and travel over to the next - they currently seem to be residing here. Otherwise, boasted two ales (Hogsback's Hair of the Hog and Fuller's London Pride) in average condition.

This place could really be something with the right landlord (and customers)
