Cracking atmosphere after a game but failed to supply a real ale for the guys who aren't afraid to taste what they drink. Whitbread seemed to be normal supplier.
I respect these type of venues who deal with regulars and an intense influx of game goers on match days and seem to deal with the binge drinker culture admirably either that or ride there luck a little being a pub who cater to supporters of the same team. Pretty barmaids beams at you in this heavy drinkers den.

The Green Man, Hemel Hempstead
The Pub that seems to have it all. 5-6 ales, cheap British menu, Friendly staff. Sports TV, Dartboard. Relaxed non-imposing atmosphere. Great for the lone beer hunter,

I will always love this Pub. It's away from the street so staggering after a skinful out into the road is close to impossible. To get to it come out of Holborn Tube and turn right and then first right or left then first left both pathways lead to the SHIP.
The beer is a fair standard and the last time I was there a selection of about three or four fine ales was available. I don't know about regulars. I've only been when meeting friends prior to an evening football game in North London (Not that team from Woolwich) and normally it's a quite happy atmosphereQuite a Victorian feel to the decor.. Guys in suits winding down, that kinda thing.
Not tried the food yet. I'm quite fussy so if I have to pay high prices for food I want organic, for a start. Otherwise I'd pop over to that Chicken place opposite the Princess Louise. I haven't experienced food poisoning yet ;-)

The Moon on the Square, Feltham
I like this Pub, as it's everything a wetherspoon pub should be but it seems more than that. There's a good atmosphere most all of the time that I put down to a mix of barstaff who take pride in their work and the locals who frequent the place. It's the local, when I'm in town, visiting. At least a choice of four "guest" ales makes it so much more appealing than other local alternatives.

The Pub offers the best range of Ales in the area. It's a shame most of the bar staff are too young to realise the benefits of ale.
The lads who work here are quite cheerful. Some of the girls are too. There were however a few not so bonnie lasses there that were positively ice-maidens and Ice n' beer don't mix. Teenage hormones, I'm guessing.
This is not a good pub by Wetherspoon standards AT ALL. It is however one of the best ale pubs in the area. The food's not so bad either. My advice, be prepared for a frosty bar service and you won't be dissapointed.

The King and Castle, Windsor
I like the pub and all it characteristics. A great view. Comfy seats. Good selection of beers. Before it was literally an upstairs/downstairs pub. Downstairs was white walled and the punter tended to be youts, presumably each carrying an id card in their wallet.
Now it's all dark woods and shiney gold which is perfect in the evening especially if you like your stouts and porters or ambers and Belgian beers or cokes and lagers.
