| Lovely old style village pub, and as lazybeer says, a gem. Very traditional with three seperate small drinking areas, parlour style, with wooden floors, wooden settle/benches with cushioned seats. There is a garden to the rear, where beer festivals are occasionally held. The bar mantle and several walls are covered with beer mats from previously served ales, there are pictures of classic comedians, but card players may enjoy the picture "The Winning Hand" in the main room. I thoroughly enjoyed my short stay here, the landlord was very friendly, knowledgeable and interested in his beers and pleased to see my interest too, with tasters being offered both on arrival and when a new one was added. Normally four on but the guv stated today he is running at three due to the current hot weather as he needs the turnover to be quick enough to keep the beer in condition. No complaints with that honest assessment. This afternoon had, Hopback Summer Lightening (the regular), Wayland GBA, and Andwell King John. A Caledonian banana beer was being pulled through for later as the KJ was going. A fine example of an increasingly hard to find proper old pub, superb. Maldenman - 4 Jul 2009 19:06 |
| A little gem. A converted cottage with 2 front bars and 2 back rooms. Don't expect anything fancy, seating is basic benches and the walls are plain emulsioned walls with a few pictures. However both the pub and toilets are always very clean. It gets a good mix of locals and students and always feels welcoming. Service is also good (how many pubs now always thank you when you leave). A changing selection of exceptionally kept real ales, usually with something local. They also have a good selection of more usual lagers and wines and usually a real scrumpy. Food which varies from sandwiches to full meals is pretty basic but well cooked and very good value. And as an added bonus it has a dart board with 1980's style electronic score board. lazybeer - 17 May 2009 15:54 |
| Lived in Egham for few years and not visited pub - so decided to walk up the hill and pay a visit. This is a small and very welcoming pub with friendly staff and good beer. As previous posters stated, a good mix of regular customers and students. It seems a very simple formula to make a good pub - that is friendly welcoming staff, good beer, why cant other pubs in Egham follow. Will definately visit again. wanderin_star - 4 Apr 2009 22:30 |
| The Happy Man continues to impress, a nice mix of students and ale drinkers. Well worth the walk up the hill! Quinno - 12 Sep 2008 17:08 |
| Current North Surrey Camra Pub of The Year for 2008. An excellent gem of a pub. Landlord Dave has reinvented the art of real ale of the last few years here. The presentation of the award coincided with a tasting evening for the local Waylands brewery which this pub has also been supporting. aleheart - 24 Jun 2008 19:10 |
