| First visit. Indifferent pint of the product pretending to be Youngs ordinary. Lovely garden but atmosphere somewaht spoiled by two women behind the bar loudly calling a TV celebrity scum and "women like her give us all a bad name...." southfields - 19 Sep 2009 11:16 |
| Well, don’t know about the music but we had a bad experience here. Proudly took my boyfriend’s parents for a sunny day out to what we thought was ‘the best pub in Dorking’ (as reviewed here) and many of the recent comments we experienced Walked in to find a stroppy, unhelpful, unprofessional women behind the bar, well I don’t know if this was the landlady described below or not, and frankly I don’t care as this will be our last visit When eventually (wasn’t even busy) the drinks were ‘slammed down’ in front of us and after noticing the scruffy interior, dead plants, unsafe chairs and dirty tables, we proceeded to the garden area, yes the view is great, but that’s no accolade to the landlords After sitting in the Garden we noticed the constant foul swearing from one particular local scruffy crowd and the staff do nothing, in fact condone this behaviour even with children in ear shot. The tables where filthy ashtrays piled high with dog-ends and filthy, umbrellas and rubbish just thrown around in the quote.. “best garden pub in Dorking” and the staff just lazily ignore it all Utter, utter laziness from the management and staff I politely made a comment to the person behind the bar and was told “if you don’t like it, go somewhere else”. When I stated that we would write to the brewery we were , (with expletives) ‘told where to go’, this in front of my new boyfriends mum and dad Utter disgrace to the pub industry, especially during a recession, this pub will not last long with these lot in situ!

| Spent a very agreeable Sunday afternoon listening to live music in the garden, apparently they run diffent groups/duos every Sunday throughout summer. Very talented duo playing well known favorites Lovely atmosphere and everyone seemed to be having a good time. Would definatley go again. thedork - 23 Jul 2009 15:51 |
| The below comments all seem a bit petty tbh, I consider this pub to be my local and the reason for this is that I find all the staff and patrons (and land lady) to be warm and friendly people, sure it won't be everyone's cup of tea and there is no law to say that you have to like everyone but this seems like a personal vendetta. The cleanliness is perfectly acceptable and this is an oldie world pub not some minimalist venue for sipping flashy cocktails and admiring each others personal grooming habits. In summary, a warm friendly pub with great garden and views. 2_chickens - 16 Jul 2009 19:00 |
| Clearly the poster 'Realopinion' is the ... LAZY, LOUD, CHARACTERLESS WIFE mentioned here who can’t even reply intelligently, attempting on several occasions below to sweep up the hideous women’s attempts at managing a ‘no brainer’ job, to run a pub!, not rocket science is it! igglepop - 4 Jul 2009 20:49 |
