| Now, hold on chaps. As much as I never thought I'd feel the need to espouse any positive opinions on the Blue Wanker bar the good views from the garden, recent visits suggest some changes have at last been made for the better. Local quaffers may know of the scandalous sudden departure of this pub's manager (it seems Punch who once owned it have sold it and the Red Cross to some finance company or other, who put this guy in to manage both houses), who to cut a long story short left the pubs high and dry with an uncertain future. I don't quite know who has come to the rescue, but it seems a new manager has been found who actually cares about decent beer, as suddenly we find a diverse range of 4 cask ales on the bar. I have received differing reports as to their quality, but my last visit found all in excellent nick - to a traditional ale lover Reigate is a desert these days, so to finally find a pub that offers more than just Pride, Ordinary and IPA is a real hit. Not sure whether the current incumbent is temporary, but the barmaid assured me that this was the way it would stay from now on. Don't get too excited otherwise; the place remains exactly the same. As the evening wears on more and more youngsters arrive who sadly overlook the new ales in favour of grossly over-priced lagers and alcopoos, the music (and the punters) gets louder, and the food remains decidedly average. I fear the changes at the pumps will be of no interest to the general under-age crowd that populate the pub of an evening mainly due to the beer garden. But hopefully a more mixed clientele will emerge once the word gets round. If you like an interesting selection of ales (£2.65 average price) then support the Anchor if you can (preferably at lunchtime or before 8PM). TWG - 8 May 2008 11:51 |
| Good view of Cricket in Summer,poor beer,no customers lunchtime weekdays,dead. jeffdaff - 20 Feb 2008 11:27 |
| This pub is a bit too modern, wooden floors, and a distinct lack of indoor tables. Plenty of outside room which is nice during the summer, especially when there is a cricket match going on. Food is modern and reasonable. People in the pub are reasonably young, although there a broad range of type, ranging from goth to townie. You get some older customers, usually very glamourous, but i think this pub is mainly a starter for a bigger night elsewhere. anonymous - 4 Oct 2007 11:00 |
| Reminds me of the Nelson Mandela bar at Uni - utter rubbish! Beer lousy, dreadful wine and I think I was served by a five year old?! Nice garden though but full of v.dodgy chavs in the Summer....unless you like tats and rings? VKBarney - 21 Mar 2007 19:18 |
| Glad I amuse you scooterroy. That's what CLOWNS are for, but at least some clowns know how to punctuate a sentence. You don't have to go to this pub, you could just stay in at your parents place and drink bottles of Bombardier. This place has gone downhill a lot in the past year, but it's still somehow one of the only decent pubs in Reigate. I'll just make sure I don't go in there when scooterroy is on the warpath, he might do me in. Ian_D - 20 Oct 2006 14:06 |
