Awful place. Exceptionally bad service and poorly kept beers. Quite how the manager of this establishment thinks he is an ideal candidate to work in the service industry is beyond me. He is quite possible the rudest ill tempered man to have set foot behind a bar. When not abusing customers who had the audacity to order a drink he is bullying his miserable looking staff to the point where punters felt the need to intervene. I was unfortunate to have witnessed him scream accusations of theft at one of the bar staff who promptly fled in tears. The man is a tyrant. His personality disorder is further illustrated on the paintings on the walls where various portraits of important historical figures (Henry VIII etc) have had their faces replaced with images of the manager. Quite scary really. I left after a few minutes having taken a sip of a rancid pint of bitter. I could not be bothered to complain about the dodgy pint as Stalin behind the bar would probably have tried to send me to the Gulag.
Avoid this place at all costs.

I was a regular at the Globe before it closed, so went along in anticipation now it has re-opened. It was unbelievably bad. I can’t believe the landlord has ever run as pub before; he appears to think that shouting at his staff, thumping the equipment and being rude to the customers is the way to go. We left after one drink, others left before they had even been served, as he was so rude to them. It wasn’t even Basil Fawlty funny, it was just plain nasty. And it wasn’t even a good pint. I can’t see The Globe lasting very long like this.

I didn't realise this was supposed to be a champagne bar, but it explains why the malevolent dwarf landlord was so angry at being asked for two glasses of lemonade that he slammed them down on the bar hard enough to spill one of them.

The Globe has now opened up as a self styled champagne bar. I wouldn't bother!! It used to be an alright pub but now its neither. CRAP.
|
The Globe has re-opened!

Rumour has it that the Globe has been purchased by a new owner and shall be opening again soon. Fingers crossed this once fine pub shall return to the scene.

A real shame - I spent an evening in here a few weeks ago with a mate who wanted to tuck into the French bar manageress. The staff were a good crowd, we went on with them afterwards to a late bar and it was a good night. A shame this is closing - seemed to be a successful pub, packed on the Thursday night we were in.

Now closed for good. One of the many pubs that are being sold off.

A good pub with pleasant atmosphere with the added bonus of Addlestones cider on tap but be warned......do not have the food as the standard is below par and very, very badly cooked and presented.

Standard Nicholson's pub. Beer's well kept, decent selection. Gets very busy in evenings and hard to get a seat.

Far too bright.

has great lounge chairs upstairs and that always seems to be fairly empty. Small but you can usually get a seat, even if it's not one of the leather lounges. Relaxed also
