Visited this pub this evening for dinner. Sharps Doom Bar was excellent. I had the car so could not taste the other beers but impressed they have Skinners Cornish Knocker and will be back to snaffle the other ales on pump.
Nice food as we had dinner too. The chef knows how to cook a steak.
Good relaxed atmosphere.

A proper traditional pub with a great selection of beer. 5 ales on pump. London Pride, Youngs, Sharps Doombar, Bombardier and Sharps cornish and tasted very well!

This is far best the local pub around Thames Ditton. Always nice staff, friendly locals and great atmosphere. Been going here for the last year or so and getting a bit worried its changed management as I havent seen the landlady for a little while and its been great since she took over. Anybody knows where shes gone to?!

Lovely warm welcoming local pub with very pleasant staff and customers. Great selection of ales,5 pumps on and tasted very well.
Free internet available so a good excuse to stop here for lunch and get some wrok done at the same time!
Doing live music on tuesdays,poker nights on wednesdays and quiz night on thursdays so it seems the management is doing a great deal to try to entertain everybody!

We visited this pub a couple of weeks ago. We often go on a Sunday with the kids for the roasts but thought we’d see what it was like during the week. It was a bit quieter than the weekend but gave the impression of a friendly locals pub. Everyone, staff and regulars, were very welcoming and recognised us from the weekend!
A great range of ales (or so my husband tells me), open fires, good menu with classic pub food. They have just started live acoustic music nights on a Tuesday so we’ll probably be checking that out soon.
I’m also being taken here for Mothers Day next week as we went last year and it was lovely. All the mums were given a glass of bubbly on arrival and a rose when they left.
The staff really look after us, especially the children who are well entertained with goody bags, as well as a pool table, a selection of board games and giant Jenga (which always keeps my husband amused!)
One of the few remaining traditional English pubs!

Recently moved to Esher and The Greyhound soon became our new local pub. We have been in quite a few times and staff are always very friendly and now recognise us as soon as we walk in.
Sunday lunch is fantastic and our children are always given a "surprise box" with some colouring papers,crayons,a small toy and a lollipop,great place to go for families with young children.
I have also been in in the evening with some friends and Im often offered to taste a different ale to the one I usually drink,its nice to see that there are still pubs who are actually thinking of the customers rather than just the profit.
Great staff and customers who always make you feel welcome,well worth a try!

Anyone remember the Welsh Landlord from the mid-90's? I think his name was Geoff (or Jeff). Nice guy, I wonder what happened to him.

First time back in this pub for two years and was pleasantly surprised with the welcoming staff and the nice atmosphere! The pub looks much cleaner than I remembered and although we had to wait about 30 minutes for food it was well worth it,plus we were told there was a wait as the pub was more or less packed.
Will definitely be back in the near future...the new owners seem to have done an amazing job!

Abbot, Harveys Sussex Best, Sharp's Cornish Coaster, Pride and Youngs Ordinary which are all regular beers. Had the Cornish Coaster and it was well served.
Games room to the left as you enter (darts & pool) and the pub extends back on the right to the restaurant area.
Gave the impression of a friendly locals pub.

Really nice, old fashioned pub. Good ales and a good laugh with the staff. Had sunday lunch the other week and it was very good. Apparently does great crab, but I took my own! Recommended

Nice location, pleasant enough, but ruined when a quiz night started which appeared to be just for regulars only (we weren't even asked, maybe we looked too clever!).
Could do worse, but can do much better if you root out Marneys down the road.

Very quiet on the Sunday evening when visited. Nice garden area at the back totally surrounded by trees and hedges - very secluded feel.
|
Large local and female-friendly pub with an easy-going atmosphere, all the best to it.

This pub is vastly improved now it's under new management. The food is really, really good, the people are friendly and it has a good atmosphere. My only gripe is that the hand dryer in the Ladies hasn't worked in all the years I've been going there.

Vast improvement following a lick of paint and new people in charge. Plenty of Real Ale and good food not forgetting a bar billiard table! A rarity these days. Good atmosphere.

Under new management (Good Luck, R&L) and has just been redecorated so should become a cracker of a pub once the drinkers & eaters arrive en masse. May it realise its potential.

Quitish Pub, used to occasionally go to the quiz night. It always seems to have people in, even on a quiet night.
