The Red Lion, Egham

It seems this pubs management needs serious appraisal of which way it intends to market. Either it wants to be a sports pub or offer top end pub catering. If catering is their priority then please employ staff not dressed in dirty jeans and t shirts serving food between screens showing various football games.
The high street desperately needs a good pub so please do not get it wrong.

At last the High street has got a decent pub back, after shambles of last management. Have visited only a few times since re-opening and overall impressed. Very friendly staff and good selection of beers and lagers.
My only complaint is the claustrophobic feeling because of low ceilings and rather cramped area away from bar.
Another feature of the pub, proudly announced, it would not be a sports pub - football would be shown but with no volume. Last week when I entered, football was being shown with full volume - I hope they have not reversed on that decision so soon.
Overall full compliments to the present management and will continue to support the pub and wish it all success.

The George, Staines

Against my better judgement I had a sunday roast last week.
This was without doubt the worst meal I have ever had in a pub or restaurant.
The lamb seemed to be rather fatty congealed lump of meat without taste and unable to cut. The rest of the meal was completely bland and without any taste whatsoever.
Apart from the food the pub was soulless, scruffy and terrible service.
No matter how low the prices may be, I will never visit this pub again.
