| The last poster describes this awful pub accurately; perhaps with the most potential, this pub is easily the worst on the A25 between Dorking and Guildford. It has an uncaring management - with no interest whatsoever, except dogs and cats. leftfield - 29 Sep 2008 12:51 |
| Have to agree with gutzeit. Went here last weekend having always driven past but never popped in and was very disappointed. The pub was dirty and unwelcoming. There was no-one behind the bar when we came in so a man in the corner (not sure if he was the landlord but didn't move an inch the whole time we were there!) yelled "FRANKIE" and a woman appeared after a couple of minutes. We ordered a pint & a dry white wine and tried to pay with a card but was told they only accept cards for orders of £10 or more - fair enough so we asked if we could leave the card behind the bar, which she was unwilling to do - luckily we had enough cash for the round - just! The wine was sweet - either that or it had been open for weeks as it didn't strike me as a wine drinkers pub! and my husband hated the beer. "Frankie" then came down the stairs with a greyhound who took up then entire sofa in an already small pub and then someone else appeared from upstairs with two cats!! That was enough for me - I was just waiting for Rolf Harris to appear!! These people seem to only care about their regulars and animals and clearly if your face doesn't fit you're not welcome!! Such a shame as it is in such an idyllic location and could have such potential blondecosmogirl - 29 Sep 2008 12:43 |
| i feel this once splendid pub, is now owned by a person that has bought it for himself, familly and dogs. Anything like the appearance of a customer, is a positive infringement. Even the dogs, spread out all over the floor, look highly put out, if you want to approach the bar, terrible shame. I think I will buy a pub, just for me! I don't think there is a rating mark for this pub. gutzeit - 1 Aug 2008 11:27 |
| Fairly compact lounge bar with a separate dining area. Had Youngs Ordinary and Black Sheep Bitter which was ok. Unremarkable but nothing bad about it. GuideDogSaint - 5 May 2008 19:07 |
| Well I think its OK. Looks better outside than in, too much space taken up with very expensive food - seven quid for a sandwich is a bit much even around here - but the refurbishment brigade have been low key so far. Badger related beers in good condition. There are lots of nice pubs to choose from around here, in some areas this would be a honeypot, just here I'm afraid not the best. nickdavies - 16 Dec 2006 18:38 |
