About 8 miles north-west of Reading are two villages which straddle the Thames and
the boundary between two counties. Goring, the larger of the two, is in Oxfordshire
whilst across the bridge is Streatley in Berkshire. An old friend lives in Goring and I
have been a regular visitor for nearly 40 years. There are some excellent pubs in the
area, including "The Miller of Mansfield" in Goring and the "Swan" in Streatley. Many
Thamesside pubs in the area have, in my opinion, been ruined by turning themselves
into pretentious restaurants, ruining their atmosphere and serving horrible lager
instead of a decent pint - but perhaps this is not the place to moan about that !!
Did you know;
that the "Swan" at Streatley was once owned by Danny LaRue.
George Michael has a house in Goring.
Spice girl Geri Halliwell used to live in Goring.
