Opposite the station on the main rail line to London, this pub sits in a lovely village in the commuter belt of Berkshire. Tastily refurbished by new owners in the summer, it’s had great reviews for the quality, flavours and presentation of its food but the chef-owner wants to hand over to someone keen to maintain the standards and let him develop other aspects of the business. It’s a live out appointment with good transport links if not a local candidate. £30,000
