The Astolat is actually a very nice pub despite the low rating it's received here.

The unfortunate thing is, the pub is quite large but it's usually empty. Unfortunately for the owner he hasn't targetted the student market! Being so close the University of Surrey campus gives weight to the afore mentioned issue...

However, the pub is clean, tidy, has a darts board, a pool table, lots of TVs and the staff are all really friendly!

Recently the pub has loaned it's kitchen to an Indian Restaurant, which to be fair is a great plan (Curry AND beer!? hell yes!).

Had a decent refurb about 4 months ago. Much nicer place to spend time than it was, and there are usually 3 real ales on at any one time, which are kept well. Worth a return visit if you remember it as it was.

This is the definition of 'it's not a bad place' which also says it's not an entirely good place either. If you're in the area you can do a lot worse. The staff seem professional and there was a pool table if i remember correctly.

My only criticism is that I felt sick the following day. I blame it on the packet of crisps between the seventeenth and eighteenth pint.

Ok if in the area, standard beer range.

Has quite a few changing real ales on at the moment. Definitely worth a go every now and then when in this area of town. Does a pub quiz on both Thursday and Sunday night so an enjoyable place to go aslong as you dont mind the locals who can be noisy at times.
