EVERYONE will have memories of spending a sunny afternoon in a pub garden or pawing over a pint while laughing with friends in their local.

Reading certainly has plenty of popular pubs - but which is best?

They are at the heart of our communities, they connect us with friends new and old, they can be a familiar comfort in turbulent times, and create some of our fondest memories - or some nights we don’t remember at all...

After a tough few years for the hospitality industry, the Chronicle is celebrating the town’s taverns and wants to know why your favourite should be crowned the winner.

Maybe it comes down to the staff, the atmosphere, the drinks selection, the slap-up meals or Sunday roast, or maybe its the ideal place to take you pooch or to watch a match.

It could be your loyal local just down the road or one further afield that’s so good you make an extra effort to pop in for a special occasion - let us know!

In the coming weeks, the Chronicle will publish the top 10 results as voted by our readers via https://bit.ly/3zlo4Wb or by scanning the QR code below.

The top 10 finalists will then be presented into the Chronicle along with a coupon for each one which must be cut out and sent in.

The pub which has the most coupons sent in will be declared the winner of our competition.

We can't wait to see your nominations come pouring in!
