Twyford has four public houses and in the past had several others. The Golden Cross is the liveliest of these, and is closest to the station. It can get very busy and noisy in the evenings. The Duke of Wellington specialises in televised sport and so can also be pretty lively on some nights. The Royal Oak is more peaceful, with comfortable seats and family friendly approach. The Waggon and Horses is friendly, multi-level and also serves food.
On the real ale front, the Golden Cross typically has 2 or 3 rotating ales, The Duke has 2 or 3 Brakspear/Hobgoblin beers, The Waggon has 2 or 3 rotating ales, and The Royal Oak has 3 beers - normally London Pride plus 2 locally produced beers. Remember to drink real ales and real ciders produced locally to reduce your food miles. Mass produced keg cider and lager can travel hundreds of miles prior to getting to the pub. If you're concerned about your carbon footprint, drink locally produced real ales.
