> WELCOME TO THE MAIDENHEAD BEER FESTIVAL 2014!

Slough, Windsor & Maidenhead Branch of CAMRA welcomes you to the 2nd Beer Festival at Maidenhead United Football ground. I would like to say a big thank you to Peter Griffi n and his team for providing such a convenient town centre venue.

This festival is run by CAMRA volunteers who give up their valuable time to put this all together and I would like to thank them personally for helping us. They are fed and watered, with beer of course, so if you need any help in selecting your beers just ask one of the bar sta� . You might even persuade them to allow you to try a small sample, if there’s not a queue ten deep!

This year we have chosen a great selection of 80 interesting ales. Approx. 50% are from LocAle breweries, within a 30 mile radius of the festival, and the balance are from nationwide microbreweries. For cider and perry drinkers we have lined up a brilliant selection of 20 to choose from. In line with CAMRA policy all drinks are served in oversized lined glasses, so you get a FULL PINT. Soft drinks are available throughout the festival from our food vendors.

This year, we are very pleased to support Maidenhead based The Link Foundation as our Charity of the Festival. Working with local health and educational services, the charity provides much needed assistance to children and families in disadvantaged circumstances regardless of background, race or religion. We hope you will support them by visiting their stand at the fest, and help them raise loads of money for a very worthwhile cause.

The support of our sponsors, The Bear, Binghams Brewery, West Berks Brewery and Windsor & Eton Brewery is very much appreciated. Without their generous help it would not be possible to stage an event of this magnitude. CAMRA is a not for pro� t organisation but we hope to make a contribution to the Campaign Fund. The current campaign is to pursuade Government to regulate the PubCos so publicans get a fair deal.

There are many bene� ts as a CAMRA member which makes annual membership tremendous value at £23. You get £20 worth of money-o� real ale vouchers for J. D. Wetherspoon, a monthly newspaper (What’s Brewing), a quarterly magazine (Beer), plus a range of other discounts. Join today at the festival and we’ll buy you a pint!

Please vote for the beer/cider of the festival as it means a lot to the winning brewery/producer. If you enjoyed a particular tipple, why not take some home in our free 2pt or 4pt containers.

Finally, enjoy the ale, the entertainment and the food. Drink safely and a big thank you for supporting Maidenhead Beer Festival 2014... See you next year!

Cheers!

> LOST PUBS OF MAIDENHEAD

Kevin Phillips looks at the pubs in and around Maidenhead that have closed their doors since the year 2000 >I have chosen to concentrate on pubs lost since the year 2000 to keep this article at a manageable length. The millennium was not very long ago, but as with Windsor, there has been a disappointingly large number of local classics who have closed their doors since then.

Imagine arriving at Maidenhead Station on a nice sunny day in the year 2000 and walking down Queen Street towards the centre of Maidenhead. The thirsty traveller would see ahead the imposing edi� ce of the Jack of Both Sides. It had actually changed its name in the mid 90’s to the Tut ‘n’ Shive

but was still known to all as the Jack. The pub could have been entered just as easily from York Road, hence its original name and once inside, no matter from

which door, a choice of London Pride or Rebellion IPA would have awaited.

Sadly, after yet another change of name to the Bar Metro, in 2002 the pub closed its doors for the last time and re-opened as the Honeypot Bar, a lap dancing club with blacked out windows.

Travelling swiftly back in time to the more innocent days of the year 2000, our visitor may well have fancied a refreshing pint of Morland’s Bitter and walked on to the Cricketer’s Arms on Park Street. This was very much a local’s pub and there could very well have been a game of pool going on in the original bar which was built around 1900. The extension, built in the 1980’s was the main bar area and at week-ends, live music featured.

The pub continued to give good service to its often Irish clientele well into 2006 when it called time for the last time and was sold to the Maidenhead Heritage Centre to become its new home. The porcelain Morland artist � gure still remains on the outside of the building as does the pub sign indicating that heritage rather than beer is its new purpose. During research for this article, I actually popped in to check a few facts which brought back some pleasant memories of its earlier existence. At least it has found a worthwhile purpose in life which is more than can be said for the Jack.

Returning again to the year 2000 there would have been a couple of other pub options available to our visitor in Maidenhead Town Centre. The

but was still known to all as the Jack. The pub could have been

just as

Formerly the Stag



Swan Vaults on Market Street could have provided a pint (although not real ale as I recall) near to the shopping area as could the Crown on Bridge Street. Both are now closed with restaurants on their sites.

Moving on to the suburbs of Maidenhead, our visitor may well have ventured up the Cookham Road and fancied some refreshment in the North Town area. The Masters Arms on North Town Road would have been a good choice with Flowers Original and Ruddles Bitter on o� er in the large bar. The pub was called the Jolly Farmer until the 1980’s and had pool tables and occasional karaoke at week-ends. A short walk up the road would have led to a real local pub, the North Star which was named after the famous GWR steam engine depicted on its sign.

Sadly, both have now disappeared with the North Star demolished for housing while the Masters Arms has had its attractive brickwork painted white and is undergoing redevelopment.

In nearby Furze Platt another option for our traveller would have been the Golden Harp. In 2000 this was a thriving community local which dated from 1889 with an intact original stable and tap room. The Harp has closed and is now a Tesco Express, despite e� orts of the local active community association, the Furze Platt Action Group, supported by CAMRA.

Two other suburban community locals which have disappeared since 2000 are the Fir Cone in Norreys Drive and the Stag at Bray in Braywick. The former has been demolished for housing and the latter lives on as The Emperor of India, an Indian Restaurant.

As with Windsor, despite closures in the town centre, there is still a fair amount of choice of watering holes but in the suburban areas it is a di� erent story with choice in some parts severely limited. What you can be assured of however is that your local CAMRA branch will be there to help you � ght any threat to destroy your local.
