Where do I start with the shocking meal I had last night here�.
The Queens Head in a shrewd marketing move changed their phone number so after ringing several wrong numbers across Google and almost giving up I eventually found the new company White Brassiere and booked. The table was supposed to be ready for 8:30 but upon arrival they had no record of us and I was made to feel this was my fault and we then ended up sitting down at 9:00.
The meal started badly, 6 people offered 4 small slices of bread with no side plates and butter swimming in water. I complained and was told abruptly "it�s complementary!" Wow thanks ever so much I thought as I used my menu as a plate.
The tables looked like they�d been dressed by WHSmith, brown parcel paper wrapped the tables with cheap napkins bound in string, no expense spared! Must have lot of change from the 100K make over
The menu was disappointing, so I hoped there would be some interesting specials, I was wrong there were 2! And one of those was on the main menu pretty much. So uninspired by this poor menu we all opted for there steak "Free range Cornish sirloin steak" to be precise 10oz for �19.
My partner who is 8 months pregnant asked for well done for obvious reasons, hers was delivered rare! It was sent back but came back again rare! I wanted rare, got medium and mine was half the sise of my friends and yet we all chose 10oz. To make matter worse the steak was like shoe leather tough gristly cheap! Although not for me. I sent mine back but out came medium shoe leather. Even the chips were bad hadn�t been fried long enough so were soggy
No home made sauces to go with the steak either, just a metal basket plonked on the table with small bottles of Heinz ketchup, Mustard etc I though I was in the Harvester for a moment
They did offer me another meal but I was fed up as this stage and complained about the whole evening to the manager. He didn�t charge us for the steak but really this was the least he could do. If they had been more apologetic and written off all or more of the bill I wouldn�t be writing this review. I overhead lots of people complaining so we weren�t alone.
Raymond Blanc said in a BBC1 interview this year 'there is more to life' than Michelin stars maybe he was referring to the new Queens Head as this place will never get near one.

Popped in here whilst on a pub crawl circa 2009. Whilst in the toilet I heard the sounds of buggery in the adjoining cubicle. I am a well traveled man but I�d rather such depravity was curtailed in public places.

The days of �Quid�s In� when you could merrily drink a pitcher for �4 or nuggets as pikey�s would call it whilst smoking a crack pipe have long gone. Now you could walk in this pub and feel like you were in any other young�s pub in the UK, not for its warmth and familiarity but for its common unimaginative interior design and clinical expensive service. 2nd best pub in Weybridge though after Sully�s

I'm afraid Isaac Newton and myself will stick to our guns on this one, something the Vic faithful will be familiar with. I lived in station rd as a boy so have seen its decay over 3 decades. Last time I was in a man dropped his trousers and defecated on the floor whilst simultaneously throwing up over the bar.

Chef's just opened the tin....
Very cheap food, but cooked very badly. A few pikey's hanging around, if your on benefit probably a good haunt I'd stay clear.
P.S the chef is hardly likely to be shelling fresh pea's if he cant even operate the microwave

Yes sky sports has gone, but please be aware BBC have a share of the F.A Cup which might be shown on a b&w 14" potable with no sound as long as it doesn't clash with Wasps Vs Sale again if that happens to be shown a free to air channel.

For many years it was a toss up where you were most likely to get attacked and mentally scared by some of the worst villains in surrey here of the prince regent, to be fair the regent did win but hats of to the Vic for a bloody good try

Like an old friend, The Crown fuses culture and a good old fashioned knees up together. With its silk drapes and wood beams The Crown oozes class and sophistication
I popped in there on the way to the Chertsey show once and by golly have gone there ever since.
I recommend a cap full of Old Nick before bedtime!
