About me:

READING'S VERY OWN TARTED UP BOOZER...

We like to do things differently at the Oakford Social Club. Music is everything to us, which is why we put the best bands from across the country on our neon lit stage every week (check our programme!), and the most entertaining and off-centre DJs imaginable on Fridays and Saturdays.

The attention to detail doesn't stop there though. At the Oakford Social Club you'll find plenty of nooks and crannies to seek solace, while sipping on your Brother's Pear Cider, Frulli strawberry beer or a good old fashioned pint of bitter. If you need a breath of fresh air, our tree-lined patios are open year-round, with heaters and umbrellas helping you to adapt to the elements.

And let's not forget the food (The full menu can be found on our blog) which includes lgendary Square Pies and home-cooked Sunday roasts that your Mum would be proud of.

We can be found on 53 Blagrave Street, Reading... Just opposite the station... Call us on 01189 594267.

WELCOME TO THE OAKFORD SOCIAL CLUB!

That telly in the fireplace where you once showed black and white versions of old Warner Bros cartoons. Why don't you show silent films (Haxan by Benjamin Christensen would be ideal for Halloween) or subtitled foreign movies? It'll be nice to have a strawberry beer whilst watching Jacques Tati.
