Away fans' pubs
Hardly any pubs within walking distance of the ground, so drink in town and get a bus or taxi.
The Three Guineas
Station Approach (RG1 1LY), right at the station.
The Hope Tap (Wetherspoon)
Spoons at 99-105 Friar Street (RG1 1EP).
Wetherspoon: mainstream lagers plus several real ales
Oakford Social Club
53 Blagrave Street (RG1 1PZ).
Updated Sep 2026. Away-fan rules can change for big games, so check on the day.
Getting there
The ground is about 2.5 miles south of Reading town centre, and the walk isn't a pleasant one. The F1 match-day bus runs from Reading station to the stadium and back after the game.
Parking
Streets near the ground get busy on match days, so pre-book a space rather than hoping to find one.

Loads of pies to pick from, and they’re massive.
