The Greyhound, Carshalton

Despite Gary's endorsement of the Greyhound and the way it operates, having been forced in there last Saturday I find it no different to what it was 6 moths ago - extortionately expensive - over �17 for two glasses of wine and a light and bitter. Courage light served with the Ordinary Bitter instead of Youngs, barmaid absent from the Swan for long periods and acted as if you had disturbed her from doing something else of much greater importance than serving customers beer. Seems incapable of smiling. Definitely needs to do better!

The Greyhound, Carshalton

Forced in by my better half to meet a couple of friends on Sunday - low and behold, Swan bar shut!

Ignored by staff in the other bar, but rescued after 5 mins by mine host. He works hard, but he's got a long way to go before I will voluntarily cross his threshold.

The Hope, Carshalton

Good pub struggling to get going again - good ale at reasonable prices. Reasonable food at sensible prices. Much work required on the physical side - garden expecially. But it's getting there; Susannah working hard to get it right. Now favoured by those Swan Bar regulars of many years standing who like decent beer, the lack of juke-box, TV etc.
