| i remember this pub in the 70s,when it was run by a very old lady,sorry cant remember her name,and they won pub of the year,and had a beer tent on the common just over the road...she would sit at the end of the bar(i think it was the bar on the left hand side)and wag her finger if you would would be served or not...i also remember that a one time british boxer used to run the pub,and then went to the jolly gardeners in mitcham or it might have been his mother that run it....but who cares ..it was a well run pub when i used it. the good old days when youngs was youngs.no rating not been in for 40 years kevincarter - 25 Aug 2011 16:59 |
| A real disappointment of a Youngs pub. Been in 3 times and each time service was terrible- see below reviews. Beer was sub-standard and there was almost no atmosphere. Never been in Friday night but from reviews below I really don't want to. Then again I don't want to go back anyway. There is a much better traditional local round the corner! ralphholland - 25 Aug 2011 16:12 |
| We live very near to this pub and used to go in quite often, I don't think we'll be going there for a while after our recent visit. We went in on a Friday to the newer area of the pub, normally really like it in there, good atmosphere, pretty poor service but the atmosphere makes up for it. They had this guy in there on the microphone constantly going 'one two' 'one two' for about 30 minutes, the area was busy when we arrived but then this guy started playing really awful cheesy music. Which was on while the other music was playing at the bar, really it was awful cheese like charlies angels. Something which would work in a bad cheese club, not the pied bull!! Obviously everyone started leaving and squashing into the other side of the bar. Then this guy started singing, honestly it was awful, sounded like some old cabaret host who can't sing. Everyone left and he sung to no one. We were watching him from the other half of the bar while he continued for another hour until we left to sing to no one. Honestly, even the bar staff left the room. What an awful idea, we just didn't get it, do they pay this man to empty the pub!! We spoke with some other locals who said that this happens every Friday and the guys so awful he clears the pub. You'd think they'd stop the awful noise when everyone left, but no they let him carry on. We had to leave and scout around for a new local we found on our iphones, luckily found a really nice pub just round the corner we'd never been in before and count this as our new local.

| Havent been in for a long while as I was a bit sceptical about the place to be honest! The outside isnt the best (being right next to the A23) but its kept tidy and had some boards telling you about the offers and sports going on there. What a lovely place! Its so much tidier and cleaner and there was alsorts of people in - young couples, a whole family with kids and grandad alike and the 'Regulars Bar' was packed. 5 cask ales on - Youngs Bitter, Special, London Gold, COurage best and Banana Bread Beer, and my pint had to be a Youngs - absolutely superb. I shall certainly be back if this place keeps the beer to that quality and good to see a Youngs Pub with so many guest ales. There was food going out (to the big family) and although not huge, the menu had 'Pub Classics' with Fish & Chips, Burgers, Sausage & Mash, Pies etc. and plenty of offers on throughout the week. The bar staff were very friendly and attentive, even when it was fairly busy at one stage - its a huge bar - and certainly made me feel welcome. The smoking shelter out the back kept the rain off - its a huge wooden thing with heaters and lots of tables. Overall a great experience for a pub iv not been in for a long while - certainly on the up! Well recommended. oldmanyoung - 19 Feb 2011 20:13 |
| I had hoped that the poor service was down to the staff having an off day, unfortunately a friend, for whom this place is their local, confirmed that service is often farcical. On the night I went - 16/07/2010 - the kitchen ran out of burgers, then the oven stopped working, but my friend had to wait nearly 40 mins to be told why his order hadn't arrived. The ladies loo ran out of paper and despite being next to a late night supermarket, the staff said there was nothing they could do. And finally just trying to order a pint involved waiting at the bar for nearly 10 mins, being ignored by one member of staff, while there was no sign of the other two who had been floating around all evening. I certainly won't go back or recommend this place beer_watcher - 19 Jul 2010 21:42 |
