Windsor and Eton brewery was founded in 2010 and their beers have won over 70 international, national, regional and local awards over 14 years. Most recently their Capital lager won the prize for best keg lager at the International Brewing Awards, the Oscars of the beer industry. The Windsor and Eton Brewery was awarded a total of 5 medals - 3 Golds, 1 silver and 1 bronze medals, more than any other brewery in the world.
We are fortunate to have such a good brewery on our doorsteps. With a taproom bar and restaurant open to all it is well worth a visit.

This has evolved to be a lovely, thriving local market.

It was a wonderful weekend last week and, despite the cooler weather, we love being here every Sunday. Our goal is to bring you the most wonderful produce from independent traders and small businesses.

Whether you’re on the search for a gorgeous gift, some fresh baked products or a little sweet treat, we have it all. Tomorrow is no exception and we have a full house of amazing stallholders. Bring the family and meet up with some friends and see what wonders you find on your journey around the market.

On the edge of Caversham and Emmer Green, there is a lovely old golf course, half of which has been converted into a family golf centre, offering disc golf, foot golf and a 9 hole par 3/4 course. It’s a great facility but its owners are threatening to close it. Please look it up and give some custom before it closes. And sign this petition. We need to keep leisure facilities!
