This is one of the best pubs around! Popped in here on Bank Hoilday Monday (May 2nd) Just after the Royal Wedding, Their was a beer festival on offer which was a Royal Wedding Themed. 9 Real Ales on the Main Bar then 11 on offer on the Beer Festival Bar. So 20 in total for a decent choice. Royal IPA by Ascot Ales was the beer of the Festival in my mind. Excallant live band on offer. Its hard to find a pub like this anywhere around here. Lined Pint glasses are excallant, these are lined Pint, Half and Third.
Their a Large Beer Garden to be found, Also Tankards, BBQ, Regular Live Bands, Bar Snacks, Car Park and a Great Atmosphere which makes everyone Welcome.
On the bar is Addlestone Cider plus 9 changing ales plus Bottled Youngs Light Ale, Newcastle Brown Ale and Magners.
I shall be returning to this pub as it is excallant, and I will be back for the Beer Festival that is planned for August Bank Hoilday 2011!!!

Its re-opned as a pub/thai restautant, doesnt seem to be anyone their! Looks very in need of a refurblishment! and tidy up on the outside, just dosent look advertiseing at all! I think it just needs to be shut for a year, then a decent owner take over and revamp the whole look inside and outside, its just need to be manged and given its definition, so people can tell and know whats its suppose to be. Is its restuatant? Pub? Hotel? is it Open/Closed? is it a bar? what is it? their never a car their, or anyone walking about!
29 Aug 2009 11:00
Its now a Napalese restuartant with only staff in it, just dosent seen to have any customers their? Hope it gose back to a pub and stays like that a pub their is much needed!
29 Aug 2009 10:56
This was a shame it shut, a decent and safe to be in! three real ales avaialbe from the Camberley Based Brewery Ascot Ales.
It still stands, and shut, all the pub signs and everything is up, its just a lodgeing place i here to the place on the other side on the A30? Not sure who owns it or what they are doing with it!
29 Aug 2009 10:51
The whole building has been removed and knocked down, its going to used for the development for the new Atruim Shops!
29 Aug 2009 10:49
This closed down and empty pub is now a Charity Shop, noticed all the work being carried out, i was hopeing it would be a pub, but it isnt! A Shame, why did it close?
29 Aug 2009 10:47
Its small and experince for drinks, no real ales, outdoor seating area, its not like other pubs in camberley which are a lot better, is a quite pub, proberley casue of where it is in camberley. good food, a decent live music, i.e bands and djs!
29 Aug 2009 10:46
Not a bad pub at all, is small, high prices for drinks, theirs no real ales. the food is good. outside seating area, a good live music! Closed on Mondays, but otherwise open all day everyday!
29 Aug 2009 10:44
My first choice of pub in Camberley, their is so much chocie of real ale, bottled beer, real cider, and forgein beers. drinks are well kept and at a decent price too. All real ales are �1.80 a pint and ruddles is �1 a pint.
10 Real Ales on offer, 5 are a Guest Ales. These come from all round the conutry and are different every time. I havent seen the same all on more than once as a gusses ale.
forgein beers inculde leffe which is my fav, eldinger, hoegarden, storfam, and lots more. their beligem, french, swiss, dutch, german, and even japnesse and chinse lagers!
2 large tv's showing Sky Sports News & Sky News, a short walk to the train station - when comeing out of the pub its the first thing you can see, its that short a walk you can do a rolly polly to it,
An all round excallant pub!!!!!!!!!!!! 10/10!!!!!!
29 Aug 2009 10:42
Its not to bad in here, i thought it would be a lot worse looking from the outide, no real ale!
29 Aug 2009 10:35
This is the only time i have ever been to a Yates pub, I see them in town centres and walk straight past. After entering with friends for a night out, it was confirmed why to aviod a place like this!
The Reasons are as follows;
No Real Ales
Rough People
Sticky Floor, like they dont want you to leave
Hot and Stuff
Poor Food, procced stuff
High Prices
Rude Staff
Crowded
Long queueing
Lagers only - the massed projuiced ones - fosters carling stella that sort of rubbish
18-21 age group who want to get drunk, they drink 2 pints and one shot and then they are hammered, fighting and swearing.
People who work here and drink look so young that they should be at school, and in the evening should be tucked up in bed by 8.30pm, work experince type
Why do girls of 18 yrs old chavy ones, instist on taking their babys with them into this horrible drive of a pub chain?
The only good thing about yates it that, the chavy lager drinks of 18-21, drink here and not in a smart real ale establishment, where people have respect!
29 Aug 2009 10:34
The pub is a little rough around the edges, its slipt into three areas, a farely large establishment. three real ales for choice. Pride, IPA and Breakspear, somethimes their is a Guest Ale. Has good deals on food and drinks!
29 Aug 2009 10:27
This pub offers three, really decent real ales, London Pride, Hogs Back (Usuallyu TEA, but sometimes changes to other hogs ales) and a Guest Ale. Pedigree at moment. A large pub with plenty on offer. Sky Sports, Dart Board, a freindly pub with a good atmosphere in the town centre of camberley, also a short walk from teh train station!
29 Aug 2009 10:25
This pub is excallant the mangers came in here back in May/June 2009, with real ale in mind. 4 real ales are on offer, 2 to 3 are from the Camberely Based Brewery Ascot Ales, Bombardier is a permnate one, sometimes their is a Guest Ale from other different breweryies from around the country.

This pub was really good at one piont, after the re-furb about a year or two ago when the preasant landlord took over, things look up, new beers, new menu, decent ideas. but i have to say things have gone down hill! The Beer if on, taste like vinegar, food and service is poor! The Landlord is a very aggressive and rude man indeed! OMG, he needs some help and lessons in politeness and manners, the pub is owned by greene king and with the servce i received, i think will be writing an email to them about his and the staff manner!

This pub is a truely poor pub! Everything about stands up for what a bad pub is!
Rude Staff
Crap Beer
Swearing Customers
Dirty Toliets
Expenesive
Bog Standered Beers
bad atmosphere
The regulars stare at you when you walk in
No Guest Ale
Unfreindly
A fowl Smell inside
Needs a re-furblishment
The positive comments on here are untrue, they are only written by the landlord
Would never ever pop in here for a poo, would never bring my over half here at all!
Event on yateley green like christmas lights turning on and the morris dancers, these events attract 300/400 people plus, they either go home or go to the pub across the road the white lion!
Do you the landlord have no shame but to bring this pub upto stracth with decent beers a guest ale(s), good food, and some decent customers, you only have regualars the same small bunch that keeps you a float! and you only just keeping going!
Please for the sake of everyone, go nuts re-do the whole pub, lower the price, cut out swearing, make it a great pub that it should be, that it once was a while ago! give it some charcter, the communtiy pub that everone wants to go to!
29 Jan 2009 10:13

3 Dec 2008 09:59

The Dog and Partridge, Yateley
I am mixed feeling about his pub, I can understand points of views from the people from below!
The pub is not as good as it used to be. Has had a tidy up with new tables & chairs, new carpet and smells slighty better then before, the smell is better properly cause of the smoking ban! Its not the Full Refurblishment we were promised and all those plans that were shown to customer sounded good but never carried out!
On the Real Ale front the Theakstons Mild is rather cold, Mild is mild in tempeture and by name! The other two Bombardeir & Spitfire are average, sometimes good other times poor!
An average pub which could be better but could be worse!

The Crown and Cushion, Blackwater
Has to be one of my Favouite Pubs in our area!! The Bishops Finger is the most delightful pint around, and the other two ales (Spitfire & Kents Best) are well kept as well!
12 Dec 2007 17:26
An odd pub this one, thier ales are not well kept and is more for a food and lager crowd, if your a ale fan then best to go to the next pub along!
12 Dec 2007 17:24
I popped in on the bus for a few ales, On the advise and hearing that the pub is a good with an excallant Real Ale. I was not disapointed! It is a great little pub. Good Location easy to get to by bus, I hop onto the Number 3 which I got on outside the pub! The Ale on offer is Bombardier and is delightful!
12 Dec 2007 17:22
Spennys Public House, Blackwater

This pub just needs a push in the right directions with a manager that can stay for a while! The brewery (greene king) should keep hold of a manger/landlord for more than six months! has so much to offer and could be so good! its not a bad pub or anything wrong with it just needs a push in the right dircetion and a bit more moviation!
12 Dec 2007 17:12

The White Lion, Yateley
This pub has gone under a huge refurblishement inside and out. Looks really nice and decent. 3 Real Ales avaialbe and now they have inculded a Guest ale. London Pride and 6X are their main Ales with a thirs being a Guest. At time of writing this, this was Batemans Victory Ale. A decent pub but its only down fall are the staff - This is because they lack a sense of urgentsey in serving, you will be stood for a while before your served and if their is a queue, rather than in most pubs staff would reconnise who is in order of waiting, the white lion dose not do this and jumps about picking people at random to serve. The staff arent quick at clear tables either.
This is a real shame, if the service of staff improved a great deal then this could be an excallant pub! Everything is in place but the staff!
