| I cannot believe I am reading this last comment. After all these months and on the verge of revisiting this pub after some time, since Dougie and Jayne left and various others had tried to revive it, I am now hearing it's back to square one, again. Never particularly enamoured by D and J but at least they tried but all the regulars I knew including that interesting character from the Knole estate, all left and we stopped going as well and moved on to pastures new. This is such a shame. I often drive past the pub about 1-30pm but the once full car park is usually quite empty. HHGTTG - 18 May 2012 09:29 |
| Called back in here recently for the first time since October and what a disappointment it was. It seems the friendly & helpful people who had the pub back then have moved on - not sure why but don't get the impression they wanted to - to new pastures. Seems the 'new' people are previous tenants so all of the hard work done could so easily be undone as the pub used to be one to miss. The real ales still seem to be there, but when we ordered food we were given cheap A4 menu's with a handwritten front page! We ordered the food anyway only to be told by a very scruffy landlord they couldn't take a card payment because their phone line had been cut off when the previous tenants left....good planning this. We drank up and left and are unlikely to return anytime soon! meland - 10 May 2012 12:54 |
| After being away from the area for a couple of years decided to call back into the Padwell arms as i had heard it had new owners and what pleasant surprise, the bar staff greeted me with a nice welcome and a smile. The decor looks brighter and cleaner than the last time i called in some two years ago. the new menu looked very nice and the food i saw coming out of the kitchen looked and smelt very good indeed will be bringing my friends back to have a meal. Had a couple of pints of bitter which tasted and looked very good also have lots of new guest beers on a regular basis, the new owners certainly seem to know what they are doing both food and beers in good order and you cannot say that about some pubs in the area. caskraider - 19 Jan 2012 23:21 |
| Why is the phrase "an axe to grind" so prevalent on this website? Are there any other worn out phrases from 1971 that I should know about in order to fit in guys? Christ, I already swig copious amounts of flowery 'real' ale to suit my rather narrow-minded palate and bleat on ad nauesum about it to any other bearded old sap who'll listen. I have that box ticked.. Any more? benton - 2 Jan 2012 20:46 |
| Mr Alegobbler, I actually had a phone call from another regular to advise that you are persisting with this tirade. As I am nearing retirement I have a lot of time for pub lunches. This just HAPPENS TO BE MY LOCAL. AS YOU WILL SEE I HAVE REVIEWED MANY LOCAL PUBS. I have no particular axe to grind, unlike your good self who only has time to pour scorn and vitriol on this fine establishment and yet not comment on any others. It strikes me that it is you that has the personal interest. When I have a complaint I tell the Lanlord.....as I did at the Kentish Rifleman. If you don't like this place and you are entitled to your opinion I can suggest you try the (Golding ) Hop or the Old House , they are amongst my favorites and may be more to your liking. The Bell at Kemsing is also an excellent pub.The food at the George and Dragon Chipstead ( call it what you like) is excellent too. Try to find one you like rather than moan endlessly about those you do not, sorry the one pub that you do not. Enjoy your Beer Sessionmaster - 15 Dec 2011 16:32 |
