Went to this pub about 3 Fridays ago with my hubbie, the bouncer wouldn't let my husband in because of his size (rugby player), as they said if he kicked off they couldn't control him. We have spent plenty of money on food and drink in this dive in the past, but never again!!!

chav bar run by an even chav manager

a REAL dive. Actually worse than Chameleon sometimes, and at least with Chameleon people have a little affection for it even though they know its shite. No-one cares about this place...and for a good reason.

Awful, awful, awful. Frozen food, raw food, rude staff, chemical beer. AVOID!

Stopped here for a 'don't want to go' pint ahead of a shitty industry shin-dig in Weybridge. A Foul pub, perfect for a man in a foul mood. Bloke behind the bar gave me change with a little round sticker on one of the pound coins, some kind of promotion no doubt.
'Oi, can I have my change without stickers please?', I demanded. So he peeled the sticker off and gave the same coin right back to me. Got to admit it, sometimes I can be a right stupid cunt. That aside, it's still a terrible pub.

Went in here today for some lunch. Menu looked good so ordered a carbonara. Took forever to come out and when it did was only luke warm and overcooked, but strangely had a nice flavour!!
The staff were very friendly and pleasant.

This pub is all geared up for evenings. Afternoons are lifeless.
The sound system and lighting should be the best in woking, but none of the scanners work, all have blown lamps. The sound system must have been set up by Elmer Fudd because it sounds absolutely awfull, really harsh. There are subs but you can't hear them let alone feel them. They need a good av engineer to give the whole system a service and EQ setup.
Drink special offers are no longer very special. Barstaff never smile. Food is absolutely terrible. I was there one lunchtime and 3 different tables sent food back! Toilets average, clean enough but vandaised.

Like most bars in Woking, this has gone downhill due to the 'hoodie generation'...avoid if you can
|
This pub has loads of potential!!! I hear that the management has is changing and the old manager from RSVP is taking over. This place will be good

This pub needs to review it's policies, they don't seem to care who they serve it's full of underage drinkers.

Oh my so shocked to see my kid sister's 15 year old mate off her face flirting with all and sundry. Need to do something to stop the underage drinking! The bar staff are okay if you like the no-brain big busted variety. Wont be going back.

Deserves the 3.1 rating! Jesus!
|
hellhole. avoid like the plague. just what is the point of the tv? agree with aleman in that respect. ok, ok, the point of the tv is to entice the mostly under-age clientelle into buying more alcopops. 2/10.
|
This Yates is ok. Its pretty quite on a thursday night compared to o'niells over the road however. Usual types of drinks, cant complain about it really. Though watching Yates TV can be a bit boring
|
HELL! This IS the pikey accumulation point of Woking. The food is rubbish, the beer is expensive, the furniure belongs (and has probably come from) McDonalds. The only thing thast makes it worthwhile is the floods of 17 yr old sluts and tarts that frequent there on the pull...avoid this place like the plague.
|
umm, some good looking ladies on the bar, and..., uhhhh.., well thats it actually!?

Not a great place, not that cheap and food really isn't great!Much better off going to wetherspoons for an early evening drink or chameleon for a late night out

Visited recently and have to say was very unimpressed with some shocking food. Although it was very cheap it was still overpriced and unappetising.
Not too bad a place in the evening if you are looking for a trendy-'ish' bar.

I came.., I saw,.., I left. What a waste of money. The place is a place that has some spirits and some pints. The staff know nothing about anything, and are basically just students looking to earn minimum wage!!! The atmosphere was dead, and so many young peeps there. I'm beginnning to think Woking was just narrowly missed by 3rd owrld debt!!!

wicked atomsphere and music

It's had its referb.., and is looking the dog's on the inside now. Haven't yet checked it out for the night life inside, but will give it a go next time I'm out in town. My mates say its improved, and it was v.busy on Sat nite, so maybe it's finally had the turn around its needed. But I'll add a more in depth view about it when i've actually been in there for an evening. Good Luck Yates!

Newly refurbished Yates -generating a booming business and night time trade since its re-open last week.
Lodge has been turned into a 21st Century Yates. Full of plasma screens showing footy,all the lastest music videos and "Yates Life".We have many booths for cosying and the favourite "PornStar" area (customers will know why we call it that when you see it!!!).
It now has a great atmosphere.We are packed to the rafters now.

Happily this place now has a new Manager. It's not Yates' idear to provide a Pool Table. I hear that its decor will be 're-done' in October. Good News.

I think that the doorman at yates are out of order and need improving on there costumer skill...
Andrea Horstmann - 1 Aug 2003 01:01 |
The doormen are FIT!!!

Loz has hit this nail on the head, and splintered the wood! Though the chain of Yates's is overall good, the Woking one is not great! noted to be the gay bar of Woking (by romour), and housing some of the uggliest birds in woking, (yes loz, the standard pikey variety), it's not somewhere you'd wanna be if you had a choice. If you wanna decent local yates's, go to guildford. (Hear Guildford's got a new barman starting in the next week or so, the guy from the Rat and Parrot in Woking that does all the flare and cocktails.. very good lookin' too girls!)
anonymous - 25 May 2003 03:41 |
i live in woking, and yates' is not the place to go, unless you are over 40. everyone goes to spoons instead, as its far cheaper!

The popularity of this pub benefits largely from Woking Council's laissez faire attitude to license extensions. By day the pub is a relaxing hang-out with good food and seating outside when it's sunny. By night it is full of totty, unfortunately your standard Woking pikey variety. If only the bouncers would keep out the mingers as well as the minors.
Loz - 14 Aug 2002 14:07 |
the 1 is leeds is excellent lots of totty & shots come in test tubes...fantastic!!
