The Surprise, Stockwell

As a group of regulars at the Surprise we were disturbed to read the comments of JohnBonser about our beloved Toffee. Indeed, as someone who seems to appreciate 'fine traditional unspoilt' pubs, we were a little confused about your attitude to pub dogs in general. There are very few pubs left in London where dogs are welcome, and what is more traditional than taking the dog for walkies to your favourite local. We have several regular canine friends at the Surprise and we love them all, even if they are sometimes a little boisterous. Toffee is now an old gentleman,and if indeed he is not here the next time you visit, you will find it a much saddened pub.
