Not exactly packed. Where do the population of Woking usually flock to?

I wish I could visit Rosie o'gradys as I have become to know it in 1999. The best evening of my time in London was at Rosie when I met the most gorgeous man by the name of Markus from Northern Ireland. How I wish that I could re-visit the pub, and co-incidently I would see him there, if only I could have photo of him to keep.

Looks like the station has improved on what it was. Now even better beers available, including the amstel which tastes excellent. Also have a TV to amuse yourself while sitting around, Pool table upstairs as well. Good place to go if starting or ending a pub crawl in fact. Also situated close to the (Train Station)

A few days ago opened up again after a refit, looks miles better. Cosier, homier, probably the best-looking pub in central Woking right now.
Main changes aside from new furniture and fireplace (kept behind glass, this is Woking after all), first floor has reopened with its own bar, bigger menu & better cooking (steak & chips, bangers & mash, all-day brekkie all tried and tested) though bit pricey, new staff, karaoke and pool table moved upstairs, table footy ditched, downstairs gents sadly little improved.
Important stuff: new beers: Amstel. Possibly London Pride & Courage Best back regularly.
Good to see the manager turning around this place.
And my mate says to say the wallpaper is well retro.

This pub has got to have the worst, smelliest, filthiest, minging toilets in the whole of Woking.
Once you use them you will feel unclean for the rest of the day. Disgusting!
The beer is ok, the service is also ok. But it is difficult to get enthusiastic about anything else about this pub because the toilets really are that bad.
So if you just want a pint and a chat with the staff, then you may find it ok. But if you also want to use the toilets, forget it.

Just had a pint in The Station, and despite the lack of customers, bar snacks or Sky Sports....the dark haired bird (with maaaaasive bangers) is straight out of the top drawer!
Oh, and teh lager is pretty good as well...£2.15 a pint

Nice pub. Well, it used to be. The Drum and Bass nights were spot on, but now they have finished, theres not a lot left there. My experience of the staff (Dec 2005) are rude and arrogant and that was just the manager! This is a pub that does not care about its guests. The entertainment is slack and the price of drinks is a joke. Avoid this place like the plague. Opposite is Spoons for a cheaper pint, or down the road a bit the Rat and Parrot DJs are usually good.

It seems like this place has late opening hours which is quite handy. They do a nice pint of London Pride as well. Not sure why they show extreme sports on the tv. Most people going were pretty middled aged and not really interested in it! Important not to get 'the station' confused with the train station which is very close to it

the station is pretty laid back i guess. quite small but in a good way cos it adds to the atmosphere. this is where it beats r&p. staff are quick which is all you need really and the people who go there don't tend to be chavs.

It's pretty busy during the weekend, which is a deterrant, as it's such a small venue, but great if you claim your seating and the pool table before everyone starts crowding into the place. Theme nights are best around, and prices are average. but i've never actually seen a food menu displayed?!?!

This place is great nowadays. Loadsa stuff going on. pretty dead in the daytime even tho foods pretty good and they do 2 4 £6. Karaoke on a weds is the best night in town but theres also the best drum n bass Djs on thursdays, House n breakbeat n funky dance on fridays and a kicking R'n'B n hip-hop nite on saturdays. get down n check it out! P.S. the fittest and most 'up4it' barstaff in town!

A nice little place to go to when you can't decide where to drink. Even though owned by S&N/Spirits, its a damn lot better atmosphere than the Rat & Parrot offers. Staff are deffinatly the source of entertainment from the place. It's always doing different things, and has a top bar that can be hired for occasions, and won't cost you a bomb like some people charge, (ahem, Justin@Rat&Parrot!) So have a nose!
|
Messiest people i have ever seen I fukn loved it!
Staff are Great but tend to spend more time drinking than they do serving!

nice place. Not too big.., but they tie with the Rat and Parrot for the best looking barmaids. Good place to relax, chill, watch the sports, etc. Only thing I'd change was who ever was the chef last time I ate there.., coz urghhhh! But on a rating thing, i'd give the place an 8.5, and the barmaids a 10.0
