c) no kids
d) pure passionate love of beer
e) respectful of clientele and of staff
f) a step into a more dignified age

The Minnow, Weybridge

OK look this is without doubt a yummy mummy establishment. However. I went there today and was blown away by the fact that despite the Doom tap being turned around, the chap on duty took it on himself to check if the cask was ready, pulled it through and poured a fabulous pint for me and my mate, as well as a reasonably priced soft drink, for a fraction of what it would have cost over the road at the cost "local" establishment. Love live professionalism.

Old Crown, Weybridge

OK. I have lived in Weybridge for 10 years. I have heard a lot about the Old Crown and I have been there a dozen times: 3 times for solo lunch, 3 times for solo drinks and the rest of the time in a party of people. Have to agree regrettably with previous reviewers who found it overpriced. Today I paid �2.75 for a bottle of Diet Coke. Please, readers, read that again. Also, it is very hard to get served at this "local pub". I have never had a problem at the Jolly Farmer or the Prince of Wales. I do feel that this landlord is somewhat up himself. I approached the bar from the restaurant side with a friend alongside. We were signally ignored by this prat and then he turned his back and started serving people on the other side of the bat with not a word. I spend a pretty penny on beer in Weybridge, sit, and none will come your way. Ever again. Despite the nice club sandwich I had here a year ago. That was your staff, not you. You utter utter utter mockery. Brian Ford would have crushed your skull with one hand. Never shall I darken your door.
