Now here's a thing. Despite the best efforts of the property developer owners a pub that has re-opened as a pub rather than a block of flats. There's still plenty of work to be done after a 21 month closure - the lead off the roof was the first thing to go - but the tenants have done remarkably well to get up and running in such a short time. Surrey Hills Shere Drop and London Pride are now both on and served in lined glasses.

Actually reopened on 31 October.
Visited tonight and they are still getting things together. No real ale but they are planning on having Pride and Surrey Hills Shere Drop soon. Hopefully will be rotating the beers.
Has certainly got potential, feels like a real pub and the people running it were really friendly and enthusiastic.
No rating from me until they get some real ale in.

This community pub is opening again on 31st November 2008. Cant wait to see what the new owners are like
|
The boards are down and the pub will be re-opening soon!!!
Can't wait for the opening party!!!
|
Confirmed. Pub is closed and boarded up. Another excellent community local bites the dust.
What a shame.
|
Apparently closing down on 23 January.

An excellent proper pub, with two bars and a snug.A real friendly local with friendly locals!! Harveys Sussex, and Seven Hills Shere Drop make this a gem of a place for a good ale.,and they put cheese ,bicuits,wallies and pickled onions on the bar Sundays!Thank Heavens that pubs like this still exist as a contrast to the ghastly soleless dross of themed pubs that pubcos continually refurbish

Friendly backstreet local. Chill out in the bar with the piano or join the banter in the busier public.
|
Now in the Good Beer Guide and Brakspears has made way for Surrey Hills Shere Drop. The Harveys is still exceptionally well kept.

A traditional community local in a quiet residential area with a rural feel. Three distinct drinking areas served off one long bar, lounge to the left popular with dog walkers, cyclists and the sunday lunchtime crowd, a small snug by the door and a public with pool,darts and Sky with the emphasis on football and horse racing. There is outside seating with particularly wobbly tables - beware spillages. Bar staff are friendly and welcoming. Ales are usually Harveys Sussex and Brakspears Bitter, both quite rare in this area and kept on top form. No food except filled rolls.
A very different establishment to the Cricketers, both have their strengths & weaknesses. This is definitely a pub, however, whereas the Cricketers isn't really sure whether it is a pub, a wine bar or a restaurant. 8/10

I have to disagree with the last comment! This pub is terrible, though it hasn't always been, its just gone down in recent years!
They have always ran out of the drink you would like be it beer, wine or spirit, the pub is dirty and smells of wet dog!
From the outside of the pub you could easily be fooled that is a decent place, but once you step inside you want to step straight back out, which is a shame as it has all the traditional features that you would like to see but its so run down & is in major need of a refurb!
The only nice thing I would have to say about this place was that it looks nice from the outside but as for the beer, the atmosphere the cleanleness etc etc etc it was a definate 0/10. There is a pub down the road from here called the Cricketers which has nice views, good beer and good food, and even an green for the kids to play, though you need to be careful of the swans etc on the pond! If I was visiting this area again I'd stay put at the cricketers and not venture up the road to the Jolly Coopers as it was very disappointing!

A local pub for local people...!
Despite it's awkward location and unfotunate look, the Coopers offers a clean but rustic alternative to the Cricketers 'Ember clone' on the same road - cheaper too! Small but with 2 distinct bars - one quiet and more traditional, the other with TV, pool, dartboard etc. A limited variety of beers, but that's not what this pub's really all about. Somewhere local to have a couple of an evening.
