D'you know what, this pub should be nauseating. It's not really a pub, more of a wine bar come gastro-pub but frankly it's got a really welcoming charm. Not quite somewhere "where everybody knows your name" but certainly the place we go to most often in Surbiton. The lack of 30-somethings with kids in there is great. It serves decent lager, has a great wine list (popular and drinkable favourites, not pretentious pseudo-sommelier-selected crap) and the food, whilst a little pricey for the smaller dishes, is quick to arrive and genuinely tastey.

The staff are young and friendly and the music selection is top drawer. The only downside is that it can get a bit chilly inside in the winter and that a smoking crowd outside often means smoke creeps into the bar through the windows.

During the day it becomes a bit more coffee-bar like with good free 4MB/s broadband, papers and good snacks.

You might even spot the old famous face in there. A solid destination for mid-week drinks.

Agree with most of the points made. The food and wine has been good everytime I have been in, especially the burgers. The one thing that lets it down is the owner. He has a very condesending manner and to make things worse talks down to his staff like they are pieces of dirt in front of customers...??!! For me the staff are efficent and friendly, more so than the Rubicon up the road. If you pay a visit just try and avoid the owner serving you!!! Don't worry you'll know him when you see him!

I'd say that GB is aimed at the dining & drinking crowd so its more of a restaurant / bar than the other way around. Its packed with tables so there isn't much standing room which I think is a deliberate policy. It is also always kept very clean and tidy.

Food is fantastic and highly recommended, beer & wine is also of a high standard and priced accordingly. It has a wide selection of lagers and a small but very good choice of bitter. It is also a nice place to have a coffee and read the paper or make use of their wi-fi internet.

I would say this is a place for 25-45 year old London commuters - very much the kind of people you will find living in Surbiton's river roads. If this isn't your thing then head for the high st.
