The Weir Hotel, Walton on Thames

I am a tradionalist. I like a few ciggies with my beer. No smoking sections are a great idea, and especially around food, but for the aforementioned reasons I no longer go their. I guess this is the shape of things to come.

The Anglers, Walton on Thames

Lovely location, especially on a warm summer evening. It is terribly expensive though, so those not on a 6 figure salary are not going to be able to afford to get inebriated. My advice would be go there on your birthday when everyone else is getting the drinks in! Food average, service slow, but that is all common place these days.

The Hand and Spear, Weybridge

It has always been a student pub, it IS right next to Brooklands College after all! In the 90's they had some great bands play there Lush / Super Furry Animals / Catatonia etc. That was before the re-fit and change of owners. Being totally bored in the disaster that is "that" bar next to the station I popped in one evening for a drink. Wow, a rocking band on stage and a great atmosphere. If you are a 30 something who can't remember what it was like to be 18 then avoid. I however still love to see a live band and don't feel intimidated at all by sharing drinking space with "the kids".
