A good local tavern is a neighbourhood anchor, with regulars at the bar, a kitchen that does the classics well and staff who know their customers. Roasts and blue cod are the kind of dishes that tavern kitchens tend to be judged on, so ordering what other tables are eating is a good guide. Beers and ciders on tap taste freshest when the keg is turning over quickly, so ask what is popular. Busy evenings and weekends can be loud, so for a quieter meal, go earlier in the evening or on a weekday.
For a hearty, well-priced meal and a drink in Caversham, Mitchells Tavern is a friendly local choice.
