The Manor Inn, Godalming

This is a Beefeater Pub. For the location, on the River Wey, it should be a flagship pub but sadly it isn't. Service is abysmal, food inedible and the general ambiance poor. It gets busy because of its location, no other reason. Beefeater probably turns over a good profit so why would it worry. But this could be so much better. I am not in the entertainment business but I'd love to have a shot at managing this place, there is so much potential. The garden could be beautiful, as it is it is average. I went today and it could have done with a mow. Beefeater should recognise that they have a potential goldmine on their hands, sack the current management and staff and get a new crew in to realise the full potential of this eatery.

The Stepping Stones, Westhumble

Went in Saturday evening with dog and 3 teenage children. Sat in area of bar confined for dogs. Ordered drink and the rather terse Landlady said that "we" had a problem; children could only be in the pub if they sat in the restaurant, but dogs couldn't leave the bar area, where children weren't allowed. Absurd! "They" have the problem. There are loads of other pubs in the locality which welcome both, try the Running Horses less than a mile away. We took our money elsewhere!
