no one has asked 'why' the policy of not allowing service personnel to stay was in place, and why the company then apologised afterwards saying it was a 'mistake'

A lot of folk jumping in here with opinions when all the facts are not known.

This place is 2 miles from Arborfield. Almost ever pub within 3 miles used to ban squaddies apart from a couple of 'fighting pubs'. This is quite a different matter to the usual nonsense round there. Compare this with the 'Return of the Heroes' back from running about in China.....

Close but no cigar - Arborfield is about 3 miles from the centre of WokingHAM and not at all close to Woking !

I did my basic military and trade training in Arborfield from 1976 to 1977 and during that time I can only recall being banned from a few pubs - I think it was The Bush Hotel in Wokingham after an incident where somebody let off a CS gas tablet in the gents and a couple of pubs in Arborfield that had an unofficial ban to maintain a quiet atmosphere. Personally I never stopped using any of them ....

The second link in the first post says the hotel is in Wokingham, but then that link has got the name of the hotel wrong as well...oops!
