About The Three Guineas
The Three Guineas stands right where Isambard Kingdom Brunel once welcomed railway passengers to Reading—we're actually in the original station entrance he designed, now transformed into a Grade II listed pub. Our ground floor bar buzzes with conversation from morning coffee through evening pints, while downstairs the Firefly Cellar Bar reveals something special: those Victorian brick arches Brunel's builders created have been carefully exposed, creating a dramatic vaulted space perfect for your private celebrations. We serve refined pub classics using fresh, seasonal ingredients—think perfectly battered fish with hand-cut chips or slow-braised beef paired with local vegetables. Our bar stocks proper cask ales alongside modern craft beers, and our kitchen team takes real pride in elevating traditional pub food. When the weather cooperates, Station Square becomes our extended dining room with plenty of outdoor seating where you can watch the world go by. The Firefly Cellar Bar has become our signature space for events. Those original brick arches create an atmosphere you won't find anywhere else in Reading—intimate enough for birthday dinners yet spacious enough for wedding receptions or corporate gatherings. We've added modern touches like free Wi-Fi throughout and air conditioning to keep everyone comfortable, but the Victorian character remains the star. Being right next to Reading railway station means your guests can easily find us, whether they're coming for a quick business lunch, an evening celebration, or hiring the cellar for their own event. We handle everything from casual group dinners upstairs to elaborate private parties below, with our team adapting the spaces to suit whatever you're planning.
