Park House bar on the University of Reading’s Whiteknights campus has been named in the Good Beer Guide 2026.

The Good Beer Guide is produced by the Campaign for Real Ale (CAMRA) and every year names which pubs it believes are the very best the UK has to offer.

The 2026 guide is the 53rd edition and includes 4,500 pubs, selected for their high standards and quality of real ales.

It is not the first time Park House has been included in the Good Beer Guide, having last appeared in 2022.

Fantastic

Matt Tebbit, Director of Dining Services at the University of Reading, said: “We pride ourselves in serving locally-sourced food and drink in Park House, which means every pint ordered there helps support the University’s reputation as a leader in environmental sustainability.

“Inclusion in the Good Beer Guide is tribute to the hard work of all our Dining colleagues. We welcome everyone from the local community and beyond to come and enjoy the fantastic setting we’ve created.”
