The Running Horse, Sunbury on Thames
In reference to Pedro101's comment, perhaps the barman doesn't remember the price of every individual drink they serve. Not unreasonable, it's people like you that make this industry a hard one to work in.

Why does it matter where the management is from?? Being English doesn't mean you automatically know how to keep good ale

I went in here yesterday for lunch after not having been in for about a year (no reason for not going, just decided to try some different places). Had a tuna and cucumber baguette which cost �2.95 and must have been about a foot long and came with a mountain of chips. Excellent value for money. Also had a side order of onion bhajis which were �1.50 for four giant bhajis and without a doubt the best onion bhajis I have ever tasted. They were fantastic. My boyfriend is a chef and said they were overcooked, but I thought they were superb.

I went in here on Monday having previously thought it looked very nice. The food coming out of the kitchen looked good so I ordered a duck salad for my lunch. Took one bite of it and very nearly threw up. It was without a doubt, the most revolting food I have ever eaten. I don't know what they had done to it, but I for one will never eat in there again

I don't understand why it says, "Food served all day" outside when they stop serving at 2.30pm

Went in here today because my fella wanted to see what it was like now. I wasn't going to have a drink but when I saw they do muffins I decided to stay for a muffin and a cup of tea. The muffin was delicious, heated up and only 50p. The staff were excellent, bringing our drinks over to the table and taking our payment from the table. We're intending to go back tomorrow for lunch because the new menu looked good too.

I went in here for lunch today and was delighted by my experience. I ordered a tea which was bought to the table by a lovely smart and friendly waiter and cae complete with a time to tell me when the tea was brewed!! I ordered a cheese and chutney sandwich (at the table) which was bought out within about 10 minutes. The lady behind the bar did say they had been unusually busy for a Monday, but it wasn't noticeable at about 3pm - the place was very tidy, food was excellent and the staff extremely friendly.

Went in here today for some lunch. Menu looked good so ordered a carbonara. Took forever to come out and when it did was only luke warm and overcooked, but strangely had a nice flavour!!
The staff were very friendly and pleasant.

I went in here today purely because it was the only place serving food at 4pm! Had an absolutely delicious sandwich and cup of tea! The bread was fresh and very thickly cut and the tuna was delicious!

It's not a very welcoming place. Doesn't seem to have much idea if it's trying to be pub or a bar. And the blonde girl behind the bar really needs to lose that attitude.

The Jubilee, Sunbury on Thames
I went in here today as my other half wanted to use the toilet, but we ended up staying for lunch and it was DELICIOUS. I had a wonderful, fresh ploughmans and my boyfriend had "chilli chips" which was a plate of chips with a side bowl of chilli and three pieces of garlic bread! We will definitely go back.

I went in here today for the first time and was very impressed. The food was excellent and the staff very friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be going back. (If I can find it again as I live in Sunbury and found this by mistake!!!)

I heard that this pub is run by new people so went in today to check it out and was very impressed. The lady behind the bar was very pleasant, unlike the previous person that was there. Had a very delicious ploughmans for a reasonable price. I will definitely be going back

I once went here and had a very bad meal so didn't go back for ages. Went for lunch last week and the food was fantastic. I recommend the mushroom stroganoff. And reasonable price for the quality of the food.

When I visited this pub for lunch I too was very disappointed with the cheese ploughmans. But this was nothing on the dessert I ordered.
I asked for the cheesecake that wwas served with cream (�3.50) but asked if instead of the cream I could have ice cream. I was charged for a portion of ice cream at �3.50 but only received 1 scoop. I think �7 for a cheesecake is a bit excessive. I for one will never eat there again

The Oaks, Ashford
I have started eating in here every Sunday night after work and it is something my boyfriend and I really look forward to!! I particularly enjoy their scampi (15 pieces) with chips for only �7.50.
