The Anchor, Wisley

Had I read the reviews first, I wouldn�t have suggested elsewhere, but I have been invited here twice this week, for an evening meal on Tuesday and lunch on Friday.

I enjoyed the vegetarian lasagne, which came with salad and garlic bread. The Tanglefoot was fine and the service ok, but the location is really fantastic. Being as this stratch of the canal and Pyrford lock is on National Trust land, hopefully the character of the area won�t change too much.

The Anchor, Ripley

I've never been here before, so I might have been lucky to have thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours on Tuesday evening here, so I was surprised to see it rated at just 4.1 out of 10.

I loved the location next to the canal and the 'new looking' oak beam conservatory/extension, with huge glass panels was a great place to retreat to but, when it got colder.

Our meals were fine, as was the beer, the staff were attentive and those on the other side of the bar seemed friendly enough. In short, no complaints.

The Sir Humphrey Appleby, Whitehall

There is no such pub at this address, which is actually that of the Cabinet Office. And the name is that of a fictional character from the BBC TV series 'Yes Minister'.

... Clearly the Beer in the evening administrator has a sense of humour!
