Its not really somewhere to chat up girls. Its more of a place you'd take your girlfriend to, somewhere where you won't be swamped by idiots too. Better than Chameleon, RSVP, Yates etc

Always so quiet. You'd think they could do better with such a big pub but nothing compared to The Sovereigns down the road. Obviously its a bit of a way out from the Train Station.

Archee's Bar and Restaurant, Woking
Good venue for a drunk session. Everyone here seems to get drunk. Is it me or do people tend to drink faster when its just lager they sell. Its entertaining enough though. Music videos to laugh at.

Slightly run down but friendly enough pub/music venue. they have sentanta sports for those interested. the music venue is called the rock attic it looks a bit dopey in some ways. beer can be off a lot no real ale but some lager. 5/10

Slightly annoying staff ruined the day for this drinker.

Strange atmosphere on visit, will have to give it another try, but an awful lot of yongsters hanging around the doors.

Probably best pub in Guildford right now. Have no idea why it has become so empty these days.

So new Barlady and Barman take over at Kings Head. You are the lady in question DiscoBird, interesting how you should dismiss the other 3 most local pubs and put a good review of Kings Head. I'm with SurreyPubMan on this one.

Popped in during a free Afternoon. Tried the San Miguel on tap, it came to �3.30. Very quiet in the daytime it has to be said. I'd try other nearby pubs for a more entertaining atmosphere. Service was ok though.

Glad its been changed from a couple of years ago or so, I'll report back after visit.

landladytrades - Great name for trying to cover yourself up, don't you agree!
Obviously this means your the land lady at the Tradesman Arms and not just a customer as you have suggested, otherwise you'd of chosen a different name. I'm sure you do a good job working here LandLady - but if your in charge why not give the place a lick of paint and kick out the rough scoundrels.
Generally I don't like to Gastro pub idea, turning this place into a Gastro is the best chance you've got!
Not impressed on visit 1/10. :)

Meals look Gordon Ramsay like, full of ingredients and vegetarian free. Italian styled gastro bar, with a few good beers - including the well priced Bass.

The Cyder House Inn, Shackleford
Neat outdoor seating, decent beer. Good for a stop off pub on a walk/bike ride. Personally i'd of thought this place would specialise in Cider or Cyder, given the name.. Can not comment on staff or food, not been in for couple of years.

Surreypubman, you'll find the 0 review from everyone so far proves this is terrible.
8 Aug 2008 10:58
When you consider that a bottle of Becks cost around �3.50 I think, or more - I was a little drunk one evening... No wonder people get cheap beer from Supermarkets.
8 Aug 2008 10:54
Not been good for years, I doubt that has changed - the people who used to go to Yates probably come here now, unless they get cheap booze from Sainsburys.

Generates a strange area. Too big and thus quite empty, quite eerie, background music too loud at times.. Typical drinks range
27 Jul 2008 18:57
Has improved. Harveys Sussex bitter and London Pride are ales on.
27 Jul 2008 18:32
Not as good as has been made out. Staff can be slow, also a little over-popular.. could this be because its a food establishment too.. Some of the ales were off, try Enzo's or Wetherspoons for better beer.

The Crown and Anchor, Old Woking
I'm not a local, but I quite like it here. The friendly local atmosphere must be why its rated so highly as the beer range isnt that exciting. Pride and Youngs. Haven't tried the Thai food.
26 Jul 2008 08:33
Visited here once a few months ago. Lovely beer range with many fine ales and well situated across from the railway station.. Its always splendid to get one of those old fashioned beer mugs!
30 Jun 2008 14:51
I think it cost me �3.20 for a bottle of Corona. Bottled drinks are always more when they contain less, whats that all about? Anyway its ok, it feels like being in some down-town american bar in here... Maybe that is because its called Old Orleans..!
29 Jun 2008 11:03
This place is really cool at the moment. The meals look like they would be nice. On the beer front, there is a massive range to choose from. The Pint of Erdinger I had came in a special glass, it was �3.55 however.
29 Jun 2008 11:02
Nice people really making a good effort here. The food is home made and very nice. Quiet enough to actually relax too.
29 Jun 2008 11:01
Thought it looked like a post-office with a letterbox outside..! Most of this pub's customers are probably walkers of cyclists, if they don't like it they should not work there... Pathetic.
28 Jun 2008 11:39
Not my cup of tea, bar staff and management look down on you, disrespectful thing going on methinks.
27 Jun 2008 23:03
Hate the place! No ale, snobby people on the door. Sucks! 1/10 for being there.
27 Jun 2008 23:02
Good value, great ambience, relaxed pub with Surrey Hills and the food looks like it could be nice too! Will report if i eat here... 9/10 only downside was the toilets which suck!
27 Jun 2008 23:02
Nice scenic spot for a country pub. On the whole good service, good food, they put a lot of effort into the quality of the food with fairly bulky meals. It is pricey being the drawback. The main barlady was on top of things - a couple of the australian barmaids i think they were, did seem to be a bit lost and not quite doing a great job.
25 Jun 2008 10:31
Trainman - looks like this pub wasnt to your taste. Thats ashame but i'd recommend giving it a few more goes. This is a near little pub with some good beer. They do the 6X with is very tasty. It deserves recognition.

The Chicago Rock Cafe, Basingstoke
Nice visit in the early evening. I recommend this place before it gets crowded at least. A lot of the people seem to think it turns pretty crap late at night when things get out of control. I cannot disagree with them as have not visited for quite a while. I will however say this place has the potential to be good.
For now i'll have to rate it as a 5/10
21 Jun 2008 20:37
I like this pub. Superbly situtated by the station. Music venue if thats your kind of things. Otherwise can watch the music videos that are going on. The Ringwood beer is not really to my taste. However there are other good beers or ciders which can be chosen. 10/10 for my money.
21 Jun 2008 20:35
I don't recommend them selling alcohol at a suicide spot to be honest. so sadly a 0/10

The Red Lion Inn, Shoreham by Sea
Lovely location and of course great for beer. Hope they don't change the old fashioned appeal of this pub.
21 Jun 2008 11:13
Nice pub. Can be a long wait for food. But thats ok. Spacious both inside and outside and a car park as well.
21 Jun 2008 11:12
Too upmarket for my liking. Would not visit on a regular basis and food was over-priced for what it was. Nice taps in lavotories i'll admit.
21 Jun 2008 11:11
Good old locals pub, but fairly welcoming to others. Good for beer.
21 Jun 2008 11:10
Not a bad venue for a late night drink. Can get a little over-crowded mind you.
20 Jun 2008 19:21
Gets some pretty harsh reviews. I prefer it to how it used to be.

The Herbert Wells, Woking
Solid Spoons. Not exactly loads of guest Ales on, but a decent range overall nontheless.
