Jacobs Ladder, Falmouth

This place has closed down now. Probably for the best because it was a shithole.

The Blue Anchor, Reigate

Glad I amuse you scooterroy. That's what CLOWNS are for, but at least some clowns know how to punctuate a sentence.

You don't have to go to this pub, you could just stay in at your parents place and drink bottles of Bombardier.

This place has gone downhill a lot in the past year, but it's still somehow one of the only decent pubs in Reigate. I'll just make sure I don't go in there when scooterroy is on the warpath, he might do me in.

The Blue Anchor, Reigate

This pub deserves a little bit more credit than others care to give it. They sponsor a local Rugby team, so it's nice to go there and see all the players on a Saturday evening after a game.

The beers are passable (I only ever drink Guinness and it's good here), never tried the food but like someone else said "who eats?". The beer garden is fantastic, especially when there's some cricket on as the garden overlooks the local cricket pitch.

Some attractive clientele puts this pub at the top of my list for Reigate pubs, but then again we're not exactly spoilt for choice... The Market Hotel, The White Hart and The Bull's Head are all either chavvy pubs or too smoky.

The Mint, Banstead

The pub has gone downhill since most of the staff have left. Mark was a top bloke, would always take the time to have a chat. The new manager seems to dislike employing young staff, which is a bit rubbish for my friends and I, as there's not many people to talk to while you're ordering.

Food is standard for a chain pub, the chicken pie is the tastiest thing on the menu. It's still the best pub in the banstead area. Not full of chavs like The Woolpack or The Wheatsheaf, which is always a bonus.

Beer garden is just a paved area out the back, but it's nice in the summer.

Standard selection of beers. Some real duff ones on tap (Carling, Carlsberg). London Pride is good, if a little warm. Guinness isn't too bad either.

And it's a non-smoking pub which is always a bonus.
