28 Feb 2026 (Hogan Sampling)
1st visit of Reading and its environs: Quiet for my early afternoon visit with no queue at the bar and so prompt friendly service from the barmaid. Whilst the local bitter from Renegade Brewery can be found in cask form, here it was served from a steel keg and so lending longer shelf life. The same ingredients went in as in its cask version. But just the one cask on as suits the club’s clientele. I was then able to sample it elsewhere in its true cask form.

About the Pangbourne Club

Website.

The pub is found in Pangbourne, Berkshire, RG8 7BS.

Open to non-members with a CAMRA card for up to 3 visits per year, the club housed in Rosewood Hall, Whitchurch Road, Pangbourne, has two bars, the main bar and a quieter, more traditional saloon bar. A function room has many uses from table tennis to community meetings and there is a separate snooker room. Two ales were available on a visit at the end of February 2026, its regular cask, Fuller's London Pride, and one guest which was Renegade Brewery’s Good Old Boy Best Bitter but here not in cask form. While also served as a cask beer, on this visit the Good Old Boy Best Bitter came from a steel keg and so lending longer shelf life. A half of the Good Old Boy Best Bitter was £1.80 so making it just £3.60 a pint. Renegade Brewery, as rebranded in 2022, was formerly known as West Berkshire Brewery, founded in 1995, and is an independent craft brewery located in the village of Yattendon in Berkshire, and just 6 miles south-west of Pangbourne. The club owns the freehold of its premises plus over an acre of surrounding land and the large adjoining public car park. The main club buildings are thought to be around 200 years old and are certainly documented back to the 1820s. The prominent tree at the front of the club building is a Lebanon Cedar and described in club minute books way back to 1900 as even then being a substantial tree. In that same year the club purchased its site and premises.
