Visited the pub/bar ?? on a Sunday afternoon.
Good range of beers.
Menu looked good
But, a smell coming from the kitchens of old cooking oil is not appealing.

The H&H has been under new managment for about 6 months. Repainted outside, and a good pub to be in.
Also the mens darts team are top of the Battersea div one league within two months.

The Botley Hill Farmhouse, Warlingham
Have been using the pub for about 10 years and find it a great place to relax and enjoy good beer & food.
The sunset on a summers evening is a must whilst sitting outside in the gardens.
Entertainment is good and varied,
Food is excellent.

Once again, my visit to the "Duke" has been a very enjoyable time.
The staff are very attentive and provide a very good service.
The music selection on Friday & Saturday nights is great and sets up a good party atmosphere.
The Bombardier is the best I have tasted, and is kept in first class condition.

Yes, it would be a sad day if Barry left this pub.
He has made this pub into the best all ages can come to and have a drink, bite to eat and a good time.
He has employed good staff how care for his customers. We need this to continue for the good of the community. Good work Barry.

I was amazed to find this hidden pub tucked down a quite side road in SW12.
The atmosphere in the bar is very pleasent, a wide and varied food menu and an excellent selection of beers & lagers.
The staff are alert,and knowledgeable of the products sold in this establishment.
I would say that this pub is a major credit to Youngs and the managment & staff should be praised. Furthermore this should be billed as " Balhams best kept secrect"

The Queens Head, Dorking
A very welcoming pub serving excellent ales.
The juke box is the main feature with the most amazing selections going back to 1952.
Food is of a very high standard with a specials board updated every Monday.
Finally the ESB is in absolute perfect conditon.
This pub maybe on the outskirt of the town but is worth a visit to this 1800's ex coaching inn.
