The Three Guineas

lovely looking pub great to sit while waiting for a train.
However they make up prices of the drinks so make sure you ask how much before ordering.
This has happened to me twice now.
First Rum and coke was £6.00 the second time was £8.50 so I had to say hold on it was £6 last time!
Exactly the same Rum and Coke. Then I had a Gin and Tonic I requested the cheapest Gin this was £8.27 !! My advice avoid they are dis honest about the prices

We ha dour works night out in the newly renovated cellar bar! The interior design is very stylish and chic, the service was not great to begin with as there was only 1 member of bar staff serving, this was quickly rectified with the addition of another member of staff. The bar staff were friendly and had a nice energy behind the bar.

Much better now it is refurbished. was looking a little grubby before.

Recently updated which was much needed. Nice selection of ales and good outside area to watch the world go by.

Far from trading on its location as the only pub in the middle of a massively expanded Reading station, the Three Guineas has upped its game to appeal to 21st century travellers. I recall when this was the rather grubby & overcrowded booking office for Reading station and the space has been transformed into a light and airy pub but with clear references to its Great Western Railway heritage, as befits Brunel's original station building. There's a decent range of beers and a good cider (Cornish Orchards) and the sandwiches I've tried were fresh, interestingly tasty and, crucially for a railway hub, served quickly. Next time you're stuck at Reading station due to a missed connection, why not turn the disappointment into an opportunity and check it out?
