Ye White Hart, Barnes

Yes, i agree with all the coments below. It is very strange, could be one of the best pubs anywhere, but instead is really just a bit.....rubbish.

The Sun Inn, Barnes

I've been going to the sun for a few years, and i have found that it has greatly improved under the new management.

It has rthe most fantastic range of draught beers, i love it. They must have nearly 20 beers on tap, and lots more bottles. The food is fine, quite reasonably priced i have found -the chips are not half bad.

They have a problem with underfilling pints, but otherwise, it's a classic barnes pub, and long may it continue.

The Castlenau, Barnes

It was ok when it was the porterhouse, as they offered semi-interesting beer, at least.

Now, as L'auberge (part of the massive pub chain -doesn't that fill you with confidence), it has a quasi-french theme. The service is pretty good, and the garden is very nice when it's warm. The beer is a bit ropey ( their ales are often sour and cloudy) and the food is extremely variable, and a little over-priced.

It should improve soon, as the large local chav clientele who come for the TV sports should be driven away by the smoking ban.
