The Royal Court Tavern, Sloane Square
Bar staff were rude and dismissive, was charged �3.50 for a half of (flat) lemonade and a cup of tea (no milk - only UHT). Freezing cold. Empty, yet smoky, somehow.
Never, ever, ever go to this pub.

The Duke of Cambridge, New Malden
It's going to become a Drive Through Doughnut emporium. It opens on May 5th, so you can buy a bucketload while you consider who to vote for.

I went here recently for the first time in years. I felt the life-force ebbing from my veins. I shan't visit again, until the Korean food festival...

I was shocked at the crappiness of the food, ridiculously expensive and you don't get a lot for your money. Also, �2.60 for a pint of lemonade is taking the piss.

Wonderful old dive of a club, and has a top indie/soul night on in the back room every month ('how does it feel to be loved?'), which is incongruous but works.

Was full of confused locals who didn't really understand the awful new tables and chairs. I didn't fully understand them either.
They did have Jack Frost on tap, though, and the staff were friendly. Just a shame it's so bland inside.

The quiz needs to be sorted out, I quite agree, it's a bit cack these days. Yes, the pub is far, far too smoky. Still love it, though.

Great pub, particularly upstairs, which no-one seems to know about. Though, echoing the previous comment, they probably will now.
Me & my other half got our arses kicked at pool by a couple of non-husters last Saturday. The four pint rule doesn't seem to work for me any more.
Oh, and the jukebox is a bit knackered, and hardly ever bothers to play what you lovingly suggest it plays. Avoid.

Has anyone heard the Woodies adverts on Radio Jackie? "Step into another world", indeed. I never thought they'd actually advertise the place. They must be in trouble. I hope it survives, though, because the new landlord/lady is/are very nice, and the staff are now actually friendly, which is a shocking change, one I'm still coming to terms with. Woodies has reclaimed its mantle as best pub in New Malden.

The Defector's Weld, Shepherds Bush
Bowl of chips for �18? Crikey, you've been had mate.
This pub is quite nice. Full of bbc people, you get the occasional braying twonk but is still a nicer atmosphere than most other places in the blighted Bush.
