A large post war public house with ample parking and a pleasant raised front terrace. Friendly staff and a good range of beers and lagers. We enjoyed a well kept pint or two, but did not eat here though the food looked good too. We will return to try it out one evening. | ||

I was the landlord at the Dukes Head from 1991 until 1995. When I took over the pub had a steady trade of local customers and thankfully we managed to improve numbers year on year... we had the most fantastic time running that pub and 99% of our customers were friendly and courteous. | ||

The Duke's Head hosted the Thursday evening Folk Club run by Tom Fagan, his wife and Helen during the '60s. I was resident MC/singer from abt 1966 to abt 1970 when the club closed. Joe Sullivan had also been the resident prior to that. Many great guest performers, lovely audiences and happy memories. | ||

Patrick Bain Terrible pub | ||
A terrible pub, the staff and landlord are atrocious and scummy. There's a young bloke in there that's mouthy and rude and caused a pub quiz master to leave due to impertinent behaviour. The atmosphere is poor, it's shabby, the food is bad and it's just a trashy pub. I would NOT advise anybody to go into the pub to experience a hellish, low-life time. The area is also notorious for attracting trouble-makers like other nearby pubs, although it's relatively near suburbia and some other pubs are OKAY, there's still that existence of the tradesmen-type of people that just make existing, pointless. | ||

occasional visit as real ale sold here. well sort of, as last few visits the condition wasnot so good. The courage ale tasted kind of soapy condition, however the temperature seemed about right, for me, not too cold. Had some smaller size brewery beers; some flat and some in good condition. Bring back the old days and someone who has an interest in serving real ales as I say it is down to the landlord and his interest in the trade. | ||

This pub resides in the middle of chobham high st on the outside it looks olde worlde on the inside much the same horse brasses ect .and a smattering of racists and jag drivers and other pompous im alright jack chobham types maybe they were extras and had escaped from howards way. i went in last week yeah i know i was late 10.30! wow! they had a jazz type band on they finished early only a few people there the one bar-staff was dismissed for the night.. so i had to deal with the miserable landlord/manager who spent the last 20 mins clearing up and rushing around like a blue assed fly i had only 1 pint ..on going for a 2nd at 10.50 was refused by the shaken head of resignation no answer was given so i slunk back home in the rain. some part of me dosnt care if 50 pubs a week are closing down anyway looking on the bright side they can all open up as take aways !!!! | ||

We attended a Rat Pack/Sinatra tribute night on Saturday 18th February which included a three course meal. Every table was full. Great Italian food washed down with a good selection of Italian wines. The superb singer, Ian Gallagher, came direct from his London West End show. It was a pleasant change to be able to listen to his quality music without getting our ears battered. The evening was so electric, that everybody was up dancing towards the end, (which had extended hours). Peter and Angela were the perfect hosts complimented by their helpful and knowledgeable staff. We and our four guests enjoyed a wonderful evening and cannot wait for the next one........ bring it on!!!!! | ||

Easiest the best meal in the Crawley area, fresh foods especially the fish, this pub cannot be beaten on value, choice, and well cooked food. I cannot praise this pub high enough, the hosts are so friendly and the whole place has a genuine friendly ambience. We were so impressed with our first visit, we visit every week, sometimes twice for a meal, and have never had a meal that has not been up to expectations. | ||

Matilda1177 Shocking Treatmetn | ||
We booked all the hotel rooms at this venue in Feb 2011, the rooms were being refurbished at the time so once complete in May we payed our deposit for all the rooms. This booking was for the night before our wedding and the night of our wedding in a venue close by to the grasshopper inn. On the 2nd of November we received an email stating that our booking was being cancelled due to there now being a wedding held at the venue on one of the dates we had reserved. We called the venue straight away to ask what this email was about, surely we were thinking an error on their behalf. The 'Events Manager' informed us that the wedding booking was a priority compared to our booking so ours was now cancelled! We were also informed that the wedding was booked after we had paid our deposit. Not once during this conversation were we apologised to or offered alternative accommodation, as their terms & conditions state they must find us. We then emailed to ask what was going to happen in regard to this , with no response. We chased this orginal email, again with no response. We visited the venue to speak to the managers, before going we worked out that due to this cancellation not only would we have to find new accommodation for our wedding night but we would have to get additional wedding cars, pay more for our current car as it would have to travel further, and also print part of our wedding invite again as the brunch we were going to have the day after our wedding would now be at a different address. We met the manageress and was straight away met with a very defensive abrupt attitude. We where told that they had given us enough notification to find another venue and it wasnt their issue. When we argued that it was their issue and informed them of the extra costs and how upsetting this was they basically argued that we hadn't accepted any help they had offered ( not at one stage had an alternative accommodation been offered) and it wasn't their fault. We didn't receive an apology until we were getting back our deposit and still with a very rude attitude! After reading another review on this hotel we have noticed this isn't the first time this has happened and I doubt it will be the last... I would urge people not to book this venue as given what has happened to us, and to others, they would not hesitate in cancelling future bookings at the last minute, if it meant an extra pound in their back pocket ! We have never in our lifetimes been subject to such appalling customer service and by writing this hope others won't have to. | ||

I saw the sign outside the Fox & Hounds advertising coffee and sandwiches and decided to give it a try. I wished I hadn't - the sandwich was awful (plastic ham and branston pickle on spongy thick white bread). When I asked if they had a coffee machine the reply was no we've got a kettle. The mugs of coffee were hot, thick and dark but that's the best thing I can say about them. | ||

Matthew Not a warm welcome | ||
I can't say I had a warm welcome at the red lion, nor would I recommend it unless you enjoy being hassled for doing nothing more than keeping to yourself. The landlord took a dislike to me when I declined to buy a drink - I was with friends who were buying, and had explained that I was driving, which I thought was reasonable. Nevertheless, he demanded I buy something, and poured me a sparkling water which I had to pay for. A little annoyed, I decided to keep quiet, and sat browsing the net on my phone while my friends talked with the landlord. He then got on my case for not participating in the conversation and being absorbed in my phone. I told him I wasn't enjoying being hassled. He asked me if I had a problem with him, and I truthfully answered that I did. At this point he said well, you can leave then. I didn't need any more encouragement and walked out. I think his actions speak for themselves. | ||

Kim Shaw I totally agree!! | ||
We sat there for one hour waiting to order some food. When I went to order they said there was a flood in the kitchen and we had to wait for them to tell us when it was clear. I went and looked in the kitchen and there was no flood and the floor was dry, they were lying to us! they are liars !! The staff were very rude to me when i pointed out that they were not telling the truth and I do have several witnesses that have photographic evidence .Last time we were there the food was delayed for an hour and a half because the chef was unwell . If you cannot keep a business going then say so do not lie to us. I will noty be giving your business my custom in the future and will be recommending that all my family and friends consider to do the same. You are just a total waste of time annd space | ||

Kenny Brown Hopeless!! | ||
Things started badly when I tried to run a tab. I was given a lecture by the bar staff about people leaving without paying (this was after I had offered to have my card swiped at zero value) and told that I would have to leave my card behind the bar as this was company policy. i told the bloke it was my policy never to let the card out of my sight!. We all ordered 11 hour slow roasted belly of pork, one with sauteed potatoes however this was like asking to fly the space shuttle and was not possible for the chef. New potatoes were offered as a substitute.....then quickly withdrawn as they had run out. Mmmm, lets get this straight, running out of potatoes? a basic part of most meals??? Food arrived with miniscule portion of belly of pork, very fatty and tough. After 11 hours this should have been melting in the mouth. Plate was swimming in thin gravy and no green veg. All four of us left food on the plate. Also waitress cleared drinks glasses which were not finished with after the starter which we did not notice until too late. To sum up, if this is the best they can do they will be changing hands again very soon. A good evening with friends was spoiled by a truly awful meal We live locally and will not be back and would not recommend to anyone | ||

Do not go to this pub! I just took my family for a New Years Day lunch and we arrived at 12:40. It was 12:55 before we were asked for our drinks order and another five minutes until we could order our food. The drinks arrived at 13:15 and the food didn't arrive until 13:45. Two of our five meals were the wrong meals and three meals were really cold when delivered (only one of which was the wrong meal). We did not send them back because it would have taken another 30 minutes to see them again. When I asked for sauces and condiments I was told 'bear with us as we have a lot of meals to deliver'. We never saw her again. Only one meal was hot and the right meal. They only had two waitresses to handle a nearly full lunchtime trade. In fact, if the food had been warm it probably would have been tasty - but we shall never know. The beer was good but we could not order another round or desserts because we didn't want to wait for another 20 to 30 minutes (and maybe get the wrong orders!). I give them a one rating only because they took money off the bill when I complained. A complete disaster. Avoid at all costs! | ||

Claret Jug A very enjoyable & pleasant pub. Quiet & excellent beers of offer which are is good order. Good Location just outside of Camberley Town Centre but close enough that if you want to walk into town for a nightclub you can do! There is also a Night Club next door called the Agincourt Court. Car Park, Juke Box, IT Box, Beer Garden, Takes Credit/debit Cards with Cash back which is useful. Location is great if you want to go for a Curry, Italian or Chinese as there are a few within a 2 minute walk so you can go for a meal then go to the pub of the other way round if you wish to. Plus they do meals at the Pub. It’s more of a bar than a pub. Lunch time & Evening are popular! I strongly recommend you visit their in the near future if you haven’t all ready done so! Serves Sprits, Wines, Beers, Lagers, Bitters, Soft Drinks, & Bottled Beers. Strongbow, Guinness, Carling, Stella, Fosters, Grosh, Carling C02, Beck’s Veria, John Smiths all on Draught with Many More. A Hand pump for Real Ale is being Considered and seeing weather demand is viable at presents & for the Future for customers but there is demand growing and likely to feature in the future soon. | ||

Well, where should I start? Myself and my family decided to hold our belated Christmas get together here...what a mistake! The starter was fine, if not slightly over priced. The main courses were an absolute disaster. After complaining about raw pork chops (it had taken over 2 hours to get to this point) on 3 different meals, I was told that it was now okto serve pork pink. Well sorry, but neither was this pink nor is it ok to serve raw pork. When I asked what the manager what he was going to do about it, he reluctantly agreed to take the cost opf just these three meals off of the bill. I was absolutely disgusted and would never go back there again. I've never been to a restaurant where so many people were complaining at one time. I honestly preferred it when it was full of bikers you stuck to the carpet! | ||

Took my mum, wife and daughter for lunch there today - took over an hour for main course to arrive and unforunatley the Roast Beef was almost inedible - complained when asked if everything was okay and was replaced by an edible subsitute but not what I would expect from a reasonable high priced establishment. | ||

Nick Expensive food very bad manager attitude | ||
I have been coming to this pub for years because admittantly the food here is really yummy (although expect to pay £50 per couple without stater and just 2 glasses of wine). However I had an experience here on New Years Eve which has ensured that I and my party of 6 will never return! We booked the Mill Tavern to get some yummy dinner on New Years eve. All our guests were Townies and so it took quite some convincing to get them to come to Haslemere where we live for New Year. However with the promise of good food they all succumbed. Anyway we reserved our table well in advance and all arrived in good spirits, dressed up for the New Year occasion. We entered the restaurant expectantly and waited for service...nothing happened for 10 minutes. Eventually I went to check whether our table was ready, only to return 20 minutes later to tell everyone that we were not going to be served. It transpired that the pub had failed to write down the correct time of our reservation (8.30pm) and were expecting us for 8pm. Consequently, despite this being the fault of the pub/restaurant, the chef did not want to be delayed from finishing work by having to make our meals. Thus we were all turned away on New Years eve, very disappointed, hungry and embarrased hosts to our foreign guests, with no where to go at such sort notice! Despite the pub being very good for food, I was very disappointed and saddened by the inflexibility and argumentative nature of the pub staff, despite the error being theirs! | ||

Isabel Such a Welcoming Pub,you'll find it hard to leave! | ||
Our visit to the Duke Of Cambridge was really impressive. The food was tasty and satisfying, whilst the service was also prompt and our waiter seemed eager to please! We felt the pub's atmosphere was inviting because of its traditional feel with oak beams and a separate saloon bar. We plan to come back again with friends nearer Xmas, if not before! I'd imagine it's a lovely retreat in the winter season due to its idyllic setting. As you may guess, we Highly Recommend this pub to all! | ||

Allan Garside Don`t stay Here | ||
I had the misfortune to stay in the Brookwood Hotel Connaught Road. Brookwood Surrey I booked a double Room with Breakfast over the phone about 3 months ago. When i arrived at 11.00 am Last Saturday i was informed by a member of the Bar staff that i was too late for Breakfast, i said No Problems. as i had already eaten before my 200 mile journey Later on in the Evening i asked the Landlady what time Breakfast was on the Sunday morning, i was informed that they do NOT do Breakfasts or Cooking of any kind as they have no kitchen facilities!! i later discovered that they were NOT prepared to cook Breakfast just Because We were the only two guests in the hotel!! The Bedroom Facilities were just about satisfactory except for the fact that the Kettle leaked all over the place and in my opinion as an electrician was positively Dangerous. One could see the Floorboards through the carpet as there was no underlay, the curtains Fell down when Drawn. It will be a long time Before i venture anywhere near BrookWood in the future!! | ||

absolutely perfect pub with oldy worldy quirkeyness. great range of beers and nice and clean too. fantastic range of food, with things like shark and swordfish on the specials menu, makes it an all round good place to eat. plenty of places to sit on nice old oak tables and chairs. not the usual clinical theme some restuarants have. the only bad thing i could say is that the food can be a bit expensive, and on some dishes,and if your a big eater a bit small. | ||

I have visited this pub twice now in the past year and I can definately say that since being under new management it has unfortunately gone downhill. On my first visit there was a real feeling of being in a local community, however on my second visit there were very few people, despite it being a weekend lunchtime, and even fewer locals. I was also very disapointed with the food as they had seemed to have run out of most things. If this visit reflects the state of the current management then this pub is definately not worth a visit. | ||

Ros Rickets Lovely Setting, Angry Landlord! | ||
We visited Seven Stars in Leigh on Saturday 24th June at 6.30pm, having cycled from Reigate. It was a beautiful evening and we promptly sat ourselves down in the lovely beer garden, whilst browsing the menu. When ordering our food we were told they preferred us to sit under the covered area as they had a big party of 35 people in the restaurant and it would be too far for them to walk up the garden. My husband said that he would gladly come and collect the food once it was ready. Half an hour later, the landlord appeared with our food and his words were all the table have gone now in the covered area and I'am not very happy. He literally then threw the plates on the table. It's a wonder they didn't go on the floor. There were some friends who happened to be in the garden with us and they were absolutely astounded at his attitude. We were there a long time and quite frankly didn't feel like spending any more money on drinks as we had spent £40.00 on food, only to be spoken to like naughty little children who were not sitting in the right place!!! I really do not feel inclined to go back to the Seven Stars after this incident, which is a shame, because it is a lovely pub in a fantastic setting!! Very disappointed of Reigate. | ||

On returning to this public house for my thrid time this year, it never fails to remind me of fond memories of my childhood home. The photographs on the wall echo hoildays of the past with my own family, the food tastes of that that ate at my own table, the locals who sit in the lounge remind me of my own dear brothers. It is a pub that should must not be missed if you are visiting the area. | ||

I enjoyed a recent trip to this pub. I found it located in a stunning position looking out over the common and with an appealing facade. The interior was delightful with a large open plan living room and a darts board. I must say I found the bar rather small and noticed that the urinals emitted quite a smell! The landlord and land lady were a fine couple, hospitable and friendly...and prepared to feed me at no fee. Quite a surprise! I'll certainly return!!! | ||

Waynne Murphy Quality Pub! | ||
We stopped overnight in Horley on our way back to South Africa, via Gatwick Airport, and our taxi driver highly recommended this pub for our evening meal. The Half Moon is undoubtedly one of those rural village pubs where everyone knows everyone. However it has a real cosmopolitan edge with two smart drinking areas and a first-class dining room. On entry to the pub you can either go up to a raised bar or turn right into a lovely extended bar area, which adjoins its attractive dining space. The Comfy leather sofas are an added plus. The proprietors have really maintained the pub's time-honoured pastoral charm by preserving its original characteristics, such as wooden ceiling beams and aged brickwork. In addition a nostalgic dip to its history has been incorporated through authentic photography, which illustrate Charlwood’s past and its residents in times gone by. It is this combination of old-world meets new that creates a warm and cosy atmosphere throughout. For me the Best thing about this Pub/Restaurant is that it is Not part of an over-duplicated chain, Instead we were offered good local produce and inspired recipes. This Charming village Pub/Restaurant deserves to be commended to others passing through! | ||

Booking is a must at the weekend if you want to eat, which you certainly should. Outwood's little known secret (well, outside of the area it's relatively unknown). Great bar staff and welcoming owners (Warwick and Jan) have done The Castle proudly over the years. Taking it from an unpopular, empty pub and turning it into THE pub of the area. Emphasis on great food, not the cheapest but worth the visit for the atmosphere alone - the food is a delightful bonus! Has a nice kids play area and a serene patio area with shelter and shade. | ||

i AM ASTO NISHED AT THE SERVICE WHICH MYSELF AND FRIEND RECEIVED TODAY. AFTER A LONG WALK WITH OUR DOGS IN HAPPY VALLEY WE DECIDED TO STOP AT THE FOX PUBLIC HOUSE FOR REFRESHMENT. WE KNEW WE COULD NOT TAKE THE DOGS IN THE PUB AND AS IT WAS SO NIICE AND SUNNY WANTED TO HAVE A SANDWICH AND COFFEE IN THE GARDENS. WE WERE TOLD THAT WE COULD NOT HAVE A SANDWICH IN THE GARDEN AS FOOD WAS NOT SERVED. WE EVEN SAID WE WOULD OULD ORDER AND TAKE IT OUT OURSELVES BUT THIS IS NOT ALLOWED DURING THE WINTER!!! WE THEN SAID WE WOULD JUST HAVE COFFEE AND ALSO TOLD THIS WAS NOT ALLOWED. HOWEVER, WE COULD HAVE ALCHOHOLIC DRINKS IN THE GARDEN DURING THE WINTER MONTHS!!! WE COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT WE WERE HEARING AND WE SAID THAT WE WOULD WAIT IN THE BAR UNTIL THE FOOD ARRIVED AND CARRY IT OUT OURSEVES. THIS IS ALSO NOT ALLOWED. WE DID NOT WANT ALCHOHOL SO WERE AT LAST ALLOWED TO ORDER TWO COFFEE'S AS LONG AS WE WAITED IN THE BAR FOR THEM TO ARRIVE. WE WERE TOLD THAT THERE WERE FACILITIES FOR DOGS OUTSIDE ie. DRINKING WATER - THIS WAS ALMOST EMPTY AND VERY DIRTY - NO THA\NK YOU. I WAS AT THE SAME VENUE LAST SUNDAY AND RECALL THAT PEOPLE WERE EATING A SUNDAY ROAST IN THE GARDENS AND FOR SOME REASON I COULD NOT HAVE A SANDWICH AND COFFEE ON A THURSDAY!!. DID THIS BAR PERSON GET PAID ON COMMISSION. WHAT A DISAPPOINTING END TO A BEAUTIFUL MORNING. I WIL;L CERTAINLY ADVISE MY FRIENDS OF THIS FAIRWEATHER HOSPITALITY. | ||

After a lovely long walk over happy valley my friend and I decided it would be nice to stop off at the Fox for a sandwich, it was a glorious day so we wanted to eat in the garden (we had our dogs with us) on ordering we were told by the resident jobsworth bar person that we could not be served in the garden, we said no probs we would wait and take our sandwich outside, he replied no we can't do that either, pretty put out to say the least we ask the reason he said it wasn't his rules all to do with insurance we ordered coffees again we wern't allowed to have it served in the garden, we waited for it and took the coffee ourselves into the garden, we did pass on all what had been said to a waitress she looked at us as if we had lost it she didn't know of these rules, so for anyone out there wanting a sandwich at the Fox and wanting to eat it in the garden sorry it's not on, so I suggest you take your own pack lunch!!!!!!!! | ||

None Of Your Business Very poor | ||
As a party of six, we went to the Hunters Lodge for a meal. We were told that our drinks order would be brought to our table, but it took nearly twenty minutes to arrive - one drink was cloudy, another had to be returned because the glass was very visibly dirty. When we came to order food, items from the menu were unavailable, and the staff refused to accommodate children's portions, seemingly because they were more interested in being inflexible and officious than helpful. We walked out at this point and went elsewhere, of course. All this while the place wasn’t especially busy and looked fully staffed! I would advise people to give this place a wide berth, at least until they've got their staff sorted out. | ||

Traced ancestors (John & Mary Skilton - Innkeepers) back to owning a Duke's Head Inn, High St, Leatherhead. Is your establishment old enough to have existed on the site in 1851? Best regards, | ||

Could you please say Hi and give our best wishes to two of your local friends namely Dave Smith and Keith Wickham. Our warmest thanks and best wishes from Jim & Gail, Ajax, Ontario Canada | ||

Mr Webb Quality English PUB | ||
Loved this place, it was really nice. Great food, great atmosphere, and in a lovely setting. I can't wait until the Summer to visit their gardens and chill in the sun with a pint and one of their lovely meals. The price is good, it could be a bit cheaper, but then I guess you pay for quality. | ||

We came across this pub after a walk in the country. It has a warm and cosy atmosphere. It has a no-smoking section (hooray) and is baby friendly with excellent changing facilities. The food was not cheap but it was top quality. And the pudding was yummy! | ||

Jenny and Ron Agusta We Agree! | ||
Happened to come across this site and saw the comments from Thomas. We attended the Boxing Day Race meet at Kempton this year. Popped into the Grey Horse on the way past from the station. Apart from the fact it is a very small, scruffy pub the landlord was also very rude and clearly under the influence of his own products. It is a small scruffy, un friendly pub and definately one to miss. We ended up in the Jubilee just down the road...much better! | ||

Paul Cunningham A traditional pub | ||
A Haven for those who want a 'proper pub' instead of another made to look old chain-pub. Especially great if you like sewing machines, dried flowers nailed to the ceiling and pictures of Dianna. The beer is very good, Eric is a great Landlord and the food is homecooked and delicious. Mind you don't trip over Tiny the dog though! | ||

N Reynolds Customer always right? | ||
Visited the fox on the river, thames ditton, surrey, today for lunch........ have been there several times before, always been good food,nice friendly and efficient service; lovely view of river. The food today, even though we chose to have the Lighter meals, as we were going out for dinner tonight, and only coffee to drink. Firstly the coffee was cold and these were quickly changed with no charge for slightly hotter ones, however when the food server asked us whether the food was alright, we said no. What was wrong, he took it away, and promptly fetched the Manager, who did not apologise- just said as far as he was concerned it was all ok and fresh today. He suggested that we not come back again and gave us a partial refund as we had had the coffees and I had eaten all my chips (the hottest and most presentable of everything). I noticed that they are closing next week for two weeks for refurbishment; are they going to change the Manager/Landlord in the process, if this is his attitude? What happened to the old cliche 'the Customer is always right'. Needless to say we will not be going back in a hurry! Would it be possible to let me know what chain they belong to so that I can write to the appropriate person in complaint thank you Mr N. Reynolds. | ||

Fox on River Best pub in Surrey (for views) | ||
This is the place to chill on the terrace and watch the world go by. Enjoy the cheap food and the over-priced beer. Perfect in Summer or Winter. Say hello to Grumpy George the Landlord and head down to the river to feed the geese. Fabulous sunsets and views of Hampton Court palace in the distance. Arrive early on a Sunday as they Don't take bookings. | ||

This used to be a fantastic little pub, used by the local community and a hive of activity and good times. Recently taken over by a large organisation and spoilt very quickly. Will sadly never be the same. Always there for a friendly game of pool. | ||

Rob Norman Unfortunately poor | ||
A prime location on the Thames. Would be great for those summer evenings, and weekend afternoons. But the service is appaling, the beer poor and overpriced and the attitude of the staff leaves a lot to be desired. Pub has great potential however and will keep an eye out in case there is new management soon. | ||

Chris Nevard A stones throw from the Thames | ||
A stones throw from the Thames, not far from the busy Walton Bridge resides The Swan. This is one of the few Young's Brewery tied houses for miles, it is also one of the few pubs with a proper public bar. The whole place has a kind of faded elegance about it. Somehow I get the feeling that Young's and Co. forgot it with their last pub refurbishment round. I must say though, this is part of the place's charm. What it lacks in fresh paint is more than made up for by the excellent Young's ales and the enthusiastic staff who work at this former hotel. The public bar is a true one, more the kind of place that you would expect up north. The tatty vinyl chairs and settles are counteracted by a stunning stained glass window depicting quite fittingly, a swan. There are two other bars in this quite substantial building. The smaller drinking area next door to the public bar is like its neighbour, a place for drinkers. Through a couple of doors past the staircase is a larger completely separate bar, geared up more for families and meals. This bar is adjoined by a food servery serving good value wholesome meals and snacks. Out to the rear of the pub is a function room in another building, this almost looks like a pub in its own right called The Cygnet. This is at the top of a large beer garden which runs almost right down to the Thames. Young's Bitter- 3.7% Young's Special - 4.6% Young's Winter Warmer 5.0% Young's Seasonal Brews. Hours: 11-11, 12-3, 7-10.30 (Sunday). www.mashtun.com | ||

Chris Nevard The Old Crown is a very traditional old weather-bo | ||
The Old Crown is a very traditional old weather-boarded pub down near the river. This three bar pub has a strong local following with several of the regulars appearing to live here - well in the bar at least! This is understandable for the hosts are very accomodating and do their up most at making you feel welcome. The beer prices unfortunately are typical of Weybridge, however the real ales are kept to a very high standard indeed. The pub has a restaurant area where excellent home cooked food is served at lunchtime and evening. Our favourite spot is the public bar - this is a real drinkers area with planked ceilings and a long bar with stools. There is a third bar around the back - this area is usually reserved for the womens institute, sherry drinkers or something like that from our observations. | ||

Chris Nevard The Jolly farmer never fails to please. This villa | ||
The Jolly farmer never fails to please. This village pub is also one of the few Hop Back Brewery tied houses in existence. It is in fact our local and the only true pub in this part of Weybridge. This pub is used by all the community and is thus a warming haven from all the here today, gone tomorrow yuppie infested restaurants nearby. The Jolly Farmer occasionally hosts real ale festivals and summer barbeques - not to be missed on any account! Recent seasonal beers have included the likes of Cobnut Brown Ale, Fawkes Revenge (this one sold out far too quickly), Thai Grass (a beer with lemon grass) and Winter Lightning. A pack of pork scratching always goes down well with these beers - watch out for the pork scratching monster cat (Syd) and the famous Theo the Dog! The Jolly Farmer is a perfect example of a pub that proves that a major breweryized themed refit isn't needed every eighteen months to keep the punters coming in. What people want is a pub with soul, Dee the landlady does this with untiring skill - a gem of a pub! | ||
