please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
They have made an effort with the decking in the back garden, but the whole place still lacks any kind of atmosphere. Beers are served in the wrong branded glasses. I want it to succeed, but signs are not good

Went in for couple pints few days ago and first impression was rather dire place. Then I walked through to the patio, garden area. Was very impressed what they have done and would recommend it as very pleasant area to have outside drink this summer. Full marks for the effort they have put into it.
|
As lived in Egham for while thought would give the pub a try. Walked in and nobody serving - waited and waited but still nobody to serve me. Gradually got embarrassed as few people in pub seemed to be stairing at me. After another wait gave up and left. Perhaps I hit the pub at wrong time but sorry - you want the customer you gotta make the effort.
|
Slowly getting there - the huge back garden decking has been finished and there's now normally two ales on which are well-served.
I like the guy who runs this place - want him to succeed, think he may have over-extended himself early on but is making it back now.
|
I have attempted to visit this pub several times over last few months, but each time I attempt to go in I can see there are at the most only 4-5 customers. So I have never gone in. How this pub survives - goodness knows.

It used to be called the railway - it's crap now
|
chav local,no real ale because nobody could change the barrel,i ask you!plenty of alcopops of various colours.
|
Horrible interior but great food.
|
This place has had more guises than Carlos the Jakal in recent years, and it is currently trying to be a posh bar, all leather sofas and wood floors.
Only one ale on (Pride) which was OK, but there were only four other customers! Not good for 9 o clock on a weekday evening in term-time!
I think getting a disco down here on a Friday and Saturday could bring in the students and liven the stiffs up a bit, along with some offers. There's enough floorspace and bar space.
Until then it remains a dead bar with much unfulfilled potential.
|
Had lunch here.
The burger was excellent and the fishcakes superb.
interior still need some work and they are working on the service.
they have a guest beer now and are expanding thier collection of drafts.
has potential.

THIS PUB HAS BEEN KILLED BY ITS NEW OWNER, HARDLY EVER OPENS AT WEEKENDS, NO BAR STAFF, HAVE TO WAIT NEARLY AN HOUR TO GET YOUR LUNCH IF ITS BUSY, NEW OWNER HAS NOT GOT A CLUE ABOUT RUNNING A PUB, APPARENTLY HE IS A WAITER AT EDWINS, GOT BIG IDEAS FOR THE PUB BUT NO MONEY TO DO IT. I WILL NOT DRINK THERE AGAIN
|
Currently shut as there seems to have been some trouble there. Owners were considering turning it into a 'bistro' after the World Cup ... now it may be sooner than that.
|
Nice in the day nicely decorated but avoid saturday night at all costs as this is full of chavs and under 16s

Pretty cool decor in here - I like the mod inspired pictures, and the music is pretty good too. It's nothing spectacular in here, but it does the job.
|
Had a reputation as a bit of a rough-house a while ago, but has had a re-furb recently and seemed OK when I went in a few weeks back.
Has ale, but only London Pride if I remember correctly, so hardly inspiring.
Give it some time I guess.
|
Back in the early nineties had an evil reputation but now is a well-run but generic suburban pub. Clean, good for the footie, but don't expect anything new.
|
Is the pool table still there? I used to go in years ago purely for the pool and the old landlord used to get so pissed constantly that he simply forgot to order any beer. Cute little bowling alley out the back which was never open which seemed a shame. I may go in again one day to see if it's still really crap (comes with the territory) and should my findings suggest otherwise, I shall be glad to post a new message declaring such.
|
just went in for lunch, food was excellent, definitely best pub food in Egham, definitely going back!
|
Just been refurbished, big screen for the footie but now full of scruffy students, talking loudly and paying for stuff with cheques.
|
Great when I was at college for lunch time drinks. Not the place to be on the weekends though.
