Has a reputation as being rough, but seems spacious and quiet, actually, especially early afternoon. However they do a really rotten pint of Doom Bar - which can be sourish, but not like this. I came back a week later and was daft enough to try it again. Yuk.

The landlord here seems to have turned this pub around since my last visit. It's been in the Good Beer Guide for the past two years running. Two excellent local ales on the bar along with Courag Best and probably the largest range of lagers I've ever seen. I walked in during a Chelsea game on the big screen. The place was full and a bit loud but all in good humour.

Like League of Gentleman but with chav's and scroungers (obviously our taxes are going to a good cause!). Hugely overpriced drinks to top off a terrible night out!

Friendly regulars, friendly staff and a good selection of beers. Does not deserve a shady reputation nowadays...

Built as a guest house in 1936, then it became clear the A3 wasn't going to pass close by after all. This is an estate pub keeping a lot of its original features including separate rooms, one of which is currently being sympathetically refurbished. Beers were Tom Woods and Hopback Summer Lightning. Considering it's an estate pub it is very nice indeed and the landlord is friendly and knowledgeable.

My one acquaintance with this pub was a little strange. We bought a Guiness as nothing else palatable was on offer, when the door slammed open, someone rode into the bar on a mountain bike, rode up the stairs to the pool table area, round the tables, back down the stairs and out again. No-one else seemed to think this was unusual. We left shortly afterwards.

A poor pub but it's hard to see how it could improve without demolition, redesign & relocation - it has my sympathy.
