Called in on Friday afternoon. It was absolutely dead. Lovely little pub with loads of character. The bar staff were friendly enough whilst watching the snooker. Green King beers were well kept.

Not that bad. Deuchers and Hobgoblin on the pumps. Had the Deuchers. It was fine. Only had one and moved on.

Called in on a Friday afternoon to escape the Spring snow. Nice enough inside but definitely more of an eatery than a pub. Had to take the first pints back, and the Youngs ordinary that replaced them was nothing special. Friendly staff though.

Nice, quiet pub on a Friday afternoon. Brains SA was very pleasant.

Doesn't deserve such a low rating. A bit of an 'old man's' pub but that is in no way a bad thing. A load of local beers on the pumps. I can't remember the names, but the 3 I tasted were all in good condition. Would happily go back.

Went on a Sunday. Not awful. No ales but lots of lagers, including some decent imports. Big screens showing the footy, and some very cheap food which wasn't half bad.

Worth noting that it's £3 a pint from 4 until 7 on Monday-Thursday. And that the Tribute was very drinkable. Proper Job, Harveys and DoomBar were also on the taps.

Open again now. Westerham beers on the pumps. Good atmosphere, huge garden and very well kept beer.

Great little boozer. All the Wadsworth beers were on good form. Food was reasonable too.

Friendly little pub. Had a couple of pints of Ringwood on Saturday. Well kept. Very nice.

Not bad at all. Brewers Gold and Sambrooks beers on draft. Food was a nice selection of pies (served with mash, and mushy peas). Tasted good.Would happily go back.

Beautifully located pub. Well kept Fullers/Gales beers on the pumps. But it was �4.10 for a pint of HSB!!!

Abbott was very good. GK IPA and 1 guest also on the pumps. Didn't eat but the Sunday lunch looked great.

Royal Oak Inn, Staffhurst Wood
Eaten there half a dozen times. Never had a complaint. Drink there fairly regularly. Never had a bad pint.

Cracking little pub. The larkins was very well kept. As was the cotleigh golden seahawk. There was another cotleigh available and they had stowford press on draft and some other cider in bottles. Didn't eat, but the menu looked tasty enough.Irrelevant of the arguments below, well worth a visit .

5.9/10 is unfair. The Larkins was excellent, the surroudings are lovely and the bar staff were very helpful. I will certainly go back.

Called in on the weekend. Good service. Not too expensive. Had a lovely pint of Fullers Summer Ale. Didn't eat, but the place seems much better than 3/10.

The Rose and Crown, Limpley Stoke
Called in for lunch. Had a very nice burger and chips. Excellent service, and the Butcombe was on good form.

Booked the pub for a party (18 people), and it was a great success. The Westerham beers were on very fine form (especially the Bulldog). We also had some excellent red wines. The food was extremely tasty, and the staff were all wonderful. I can't compliment them enough.
Always worth a visit for the beer anyway.

Deserves better than it's rating. Was in the hotel opposite (�4.95 a Perroni), and escaped for a few beers. Tribute, Pride and Green King IPA on the pumps. Tribute was well kept. Seemed like a nice enough place.

Badger beers in good condition and a very helpful landlord. Well worth a visit.
5 Mar 2012 09:59
Re-opened. As good as ever. Doom Bar, Pride and Harveys all in good nick.
19 Dec 2011 14:52
Just re-opened. Harveys, Doom Bar and Thatcher's Gold still on the pumps.

The Carpenters Arms, Limpsfield Chart
Called in the other day. Friendly enough place. Westerham's British Bulldog was excellent. Stowford Press, likewise. Wish I hadn't been driving

Fullers always on good form, but certain bar staff will make you ask for a full pint.

The Kilvert's Hotel, Hay on Wye
Seems like a decent place, but they had a bit of a mare on Saturday. All draft lagers were off. No problem for me, but try telling your weak lager drinking mother that the only lagers available are bottles of Leffe and Budvar Dark! Butty Bach and Old Rosie Cider were excellent, but couldn't stay to eat due to lack of lager.

Pleasently surprsed given the other comments. Decent beer in good condition(Doom Bar & Bass), and the food was wasn't bad at all.
12 Apr 2011 10:42
Visited on the weekend. Great pub in a great location. Wonderful selection of ciders and Wye Valley Ales on good form. Will definitely not be driving when I go back.

In there on Friday with a mate. Good pint of Pride. Place was a lot quieter than it deserved to be. But that meant we had the pool table to ourselves for a couple of hours. Decent dart board there too.

Not at all cheap. Had a very ropey pint of Broadside, before settling for the Aspalls Cider. Food was good but expensive (About �11 for Bangers & Mash!). Worth more than 3 out of 10, but not that much more. Nice back garden, though.

The Prince of Wales Feathers, Warren Street
Very nice food. Excellent burger. Wasn't too slow. Lots of lagers and ales available. Tribute, Wandle and Doom Bar on draft. Doom Bar was very well kept. Deserves a much higher rating than 5.6/10

Harveys and London Pride on draft when I called in last weekend. Well kept beer. Nice, quiet pub
20 Jan 2011 15:52
The Shear Drop was well kept, but it should be for �3.60 a pint.

Been frequenting the Beehive for the last couple of weeks. Clean, friendly, plenty of space. And the food is very good value.

Looks like it's closing down. They were taking the pictures off the walls on Friday!

The Marquis of Granby, Westminster
Improving on me. It's just so cheap (for the Pride)

Lovely garden, friendly staff and excellent BBQ. Probably the best pub in Barnes.

The Only Running Footman, Mayfair
Appalling, (and expensive) beer. Awful service. Undercooked (but still expensive) food. A khazi.

Absolutely fantastic country pub. Great beer, great food, nice people.

The Dog House, Kennington
It was an afternoon and the place was dead. But the Sharpe's Atlantic and Tribute on the pumps were in excellent condition.
