| This place is really cool at the moment. The meals look like they would be nice. On the beer front, there is a massive range to choose from. The Pint of Erdinger I had came in a special glass, it was £3.55 however. TheSensiblePubReviewer - 29 Jun 2008 11:02 |

| As i have said before i do like this pub but the picture above does it alot of credit as it looks nothing like that now, not that i want to diss.goths but the outside decor.makes you feel the place could be full of out of work ones.Its a chocolate brown col.that is peeling and looks very tired the curtains (dirty red)are falling down all in all puts people off going in. Shame as the inside is good you can have a very chilled out time here. Beersupper - 20 Apr 2008 10:18 |
| Time waits for no one and I frantically dash pass this pub on route to work weekdays mornings when usually running late. However I finally made my first visit here last night (25 March) around 8.30ish with a lady friend. There is a prominent sign on the entrance door depicting that people wearing either baseball caps or tracksuit bottoms will not be allowed in. The place was not busy and we were served promptly at the bar. They did not sell Magners, so I opted for a bottle of Budweiser Budvar while my lady friend had half a pint of diet Coke. The drinks came to £4.80 so make what you want from that if anything about the prices of drinks in here! I found the décor fairly stylish and the cozy surroundings are aided by no main light but instead numerous dimly lit lamps covered with different coloured lampshades. I felt this helped to create a relaxing and even soporific atmosphere. There are plenty of comfy sofas and chairs akin to a restaurant layout, which made the place feel ideal for couples or groups eating out given food is also served (though we glanced at the menu on leaving and it seemed a wee bit expensive). I think there was background music, but it was being played so low that it hardly mattered. The sparse crowd in here appeared aged 23 and upwards as opposed to the Guildford College brigade found in either Bar Med/Time Nightclub on a Thursday night. There was a mixture of couples and the odd male/female group. On first impressions this is an excellent place to come for a “quiet” midweek drink. I imagine when the weather is warmer the numerous seating outside the pub is also handy, providing you can tolerate the incessant flow of traffic from the Woodbridge Road. Not sure if I would start here on a Friday/Saturday night though despite this boozer being close to where I live. A bit like the Lloyds bar in town, the layout of this place indirectly creates a cliquey environment when busy, which would make it difficult to search for H-File victims. In short, the Drummond is more a place to take my H-File victims rather than to search for them, lol! Searching_for_H_Files - 26 Mar 2008 14:46 |
