This pub could be so good, if the beer was kept properly and it didn't have the usual assortment of dodgy-looking herberts grunting and swearing at the bar. Fuller's should be ashamed of themselves - I won't be going back!

Visited this place on Sunday afternoon after reading reasonable reviews, and have to say I won't be going back.

Atmosphere is non-existent, beer was poorly kept (both Pride and ESB). No sign of other Fullers staples. How they won 'best cellar 2009' escapes me.

Clientele was largely made up of mono-syllabic football watchers, and as a previous post mentions, there are 5 TVs in the bar. At least it means the Orcs don't need to move to see a screen.

The landlord looked like he'd just crawled out of bed, but the clincher was when the landlady dumped a basket full of washing in the bar then cleared off for a fag. That was the cue to leave.

If I had to give a one word statement, it would be 'avoid'.

Capable, rather basic little suburban pub, handily placed for the railway station,Fuller's London Pride was well kept (but is the cellar really the best in the South-East?? Wow!), Modest and unassuming place which accommodated visiting football fans graciously on my Saturday lunchtime visit.

A decent little pub, with good beer. Let down by the opening hours.

A Fuller’s pub – they had Seafarers, London pride and ESB on, but no sign of Discovery or Chiswick. The Seafarers was good, and at a decent price of £2.70 a pint. Sarnies priced less than £3 were also a good bet. The pub looks good from the outside, with numerous well-tended hanging baskets on show. The interior is also clean and comfortable; carpeted throughout, with normal tables and chairs, and some stools. There are no less than five small(ish) TVs spread around the walls of this one-room pub, but thankfully none were on during my weekday lunchtime visit. The walls are adorned, as you would expect, with plenty of railway memorabilia. The inevitable games and fruit machines were also present, but for some reason they weren’t imposing enough to detract from the quiet atmosphere of this decent little pub – probably because nobody was playing them and thus they were forced to remain silent. There’s also a small beer garden, being used by a handful of smokers during my visit.

Basically, it seems to be a decent, well-run little pub. I would be very happy to drop in for a pint if I find myself in Carshalton again.
