The Hand and Flowers, Maidenhead
Used to be much more "traditional" although still has a feeling for its past.If suits with mobiles means no kids or chav's then thats OK with me. Well run , good service , Beer and food. Best pub in town, don't spoilt it with any more trendy bits. Try and keep the character.

The Blackwood Arms, Littleworth Common
This used to be a great pub. Full of local characters , fantastic bar staff and packed out every weekend. Sadly somebody chased the locals away and turned it into a sort of Bistro thing. Not sure what it's trying to be but staff are very helpfull although food is average and expensive. Not such a good selection of real beers anymore but OK if you like Brakspears. Garden is a real plus and location is to die for which is much a threat as a bonus as the property must be worth an absolute fortune. A string of landlords have struggled to made a success of this pub which is a major worry as this could easily go the same way as the muched loved Beech Tree only just down the road. This pub and its staff deserve more success. I wish them well.

The Grey Horse, Sunbury on Thames
One of my favourite pubs of all time and holds fond memories. I used to drink here when I worked in Sunbury and it was great then . Tony and Ingrid were fantastic and its a pity they've movd on but nothing stands still and the new guy seems to be OK. Still has the atmosphere, beer and service of what a real pub should be. Made a point of dropping in every time I'm going that way. I wish more pubs were like this, please don't spoilt it.

The Red Lion, Shepperton
Used to live in Richmond Drive and knew this pub well in the 80's. Not as good as I remember but it was a long time ago. Service and beer OK but nothing to write home about.
Looks like money been spent recently so somebody is committed to making improvements. Has the potential of being a good watering hole.
