| I love this pub!!!!! All the staff are friendly and helpful and always make an effort to talk to you. The food can vary depending on how busy they are, but the new burger menu is a definate winner. As with all ember inns they do not allow children in the bar...which may prove to be a problem for myself and husband in 6 months!! although I can always go and sit in the pretty beer garden! All in all a very pleasant visit. cariadjones - 21 Aug 2008 21:02 |
| We have been back here on several occasions since my last review, and although we have always enjoyed our visits I do have a couple of quibbles. The food is seriously variable. Sometimes we have enjoyed eating here immensely, but on several occasions the food has been of a much lower standard than we are used to. The other quibble is about cleanliness. The menus are always sticky and grubby which conveys an unpleasant first impression. My husband says the beer is consistently good, and they are a friendly bunch, which is more important to me than anything else. If they could only get the sticky menus and cooking under control we would be happier to recommend The Squirrel. As things stand we visit The Squirrel when it is just the two of us, but tend not to take guests there in case they are having one of their off days. LunchLadyDoris - 1 Jul 2008 18:21 |
| An improving and busy pub. Two observations. The Guest Ale pump is often turned round due to its popularity and is not replaced quickly enough. I end up having to drink the ubiquitious London Pride. Why not change the uninspiring Green King IPA for something more interesting? GazzaTheBeerMan - 6 Jun 2008 17:02 |
| Since the Swan got vandalised this is probably the last "safe" pub in Farnborough where you can have a few beers and a good laugh without either a) being murdered or b) getting kicked out for enjoying yourself. Under 14's are a no no except in the garden. Good policy in my mind. For you filthy smokers there's a very good shelter and it keeps most of the rain off. Beer wise they have a good reputation for real ales and the lagers are always cold, fizzy and wet. What more do you need? It's also pretty good value, £2.70 for a "premium" lager. The food can be variable to say the least but is usually good around lunchtime/early afternoon. Portion sizes are good, one look at the landlord will testify to that. Curry night on a Thursday is VERY popular, be prepared to wait ages at the bar to order. It does tend to arrive pretty quickly and comes with a nan the size of Wales. Unfortunately the gnomes at Ember Towers decided that the quiz should be on the same night so finding a seat can be difficult. Eating a curry standing up is tricky to say the least. All in all a pretty good pub. If you fancy a real laugh pop over to naughty corner (right hand side of the bar). makemineapint - 19 Apr 2008 16:44 |
| I have to take issue with the anonymous post below - I just didn't like the possible negative tone regarding "has a policy of not being family friendly". Personally, my partner and I (and I'll bet that we are not at all alone) often *prefer* to go to the Squirrel *because* they do not have facilities for under 14s. That means that they don't cater to *children.* Not *all* families have small children, you know. We are tired of going to "pubs" which cater far too much to the kiddies. Perhaps a new term, "kubs" could be invented to describe places where one can no longer go to enjoy a quiet pint, but instead, one must endure stereophonic toddler tantrums while the kid next to you repeatedly kicks the back of your chair. So Hurray for the Squirrel (and Ember Inns) for bucking the Kub trend! Their beers and ales are good too. Their food is alright (but not terrific). The staff is friendly and efficient enough and we've always been able to go and have a calm drink in a mellow atmosphere. gypsygrrl - 25 Mar 2008 16:11 |
