| I am sad that after 18 months of new ownership, fewer positive things have emerged. After an initially positive start with a new landlord and some new staff, things seem to have slid. The toilets are plain disgusting, with a broken window having gone 2 years un-fixed and a smell that has to be experienced. I almost served myself this evening as Richard the landlord was too busy watching TV (and pissed) to help, and the bar girl (Kate?) was either doing something more interesting (looking in the mirror at her own reflection possibly) than serving the one waiting customer, or frankly could not be bothered. Food is no longer served in the evening. Light bulbs are out, dust is everywhere and the whole place has a feel of The Plough when it was at the end of its time. Very sad that a man so nice as Richard can let it go this way. It will never be a gastropub, but it has much more potential that this. onslowresident - 7 Sep 2008 21:58 |
| Good to hear it may be getting better here, warrants a more warm atmosphere, because it has potential. It is not quite in a rough area of Guildford, unlike the Weavers. TheSurreyPubMan - 9 Jul 2008 17:19 |
| Popped in recently and I did think it had improved. On a Saturday night, the atmosphere was relatively welcoming and service from the barman (who I suspect was the new landlord) was friendly. grecian - 28 Apr 2008 11:07 |
| I think best wishes to the new management are in order, it's 8-9 years since my last visit here and it was just about as bad as any licensed premises could be. If the new management succeed in getting rid of those foul mouthed, low-life, semi-retarded morons I encountered, they will do well. This area has what I called in the 'sixties' real people, doing real things who live in a real community. I am of course referring to good old 'Dennisville' ! No rating left as it's too long since my last visit but I will make a point of visiting in August. Biker - 14 Jul 2007 14:44 |
| Well, after more years than most people care to remember, Richard Spall has left the building. One can only hope that the new landlord - another Richard - can breath new life into the Astolat after 10+ years of surly, disinterested, abusive and charmless management by Richard Spall. onslowresident - 21 Apr 2007 14:00 |
