The Fox and Hounds, Carshalton

Such a waste.
Under new ownership. Yes it needed doing up, but now has lost all character. Pub is bland, atmosphereless and characterless. Manager is an Irish fella who is so in love with his own hype it is boring. He can't be older than 40 and yet you would think that he knows everything there is to know about everything. Food is well presented but it is Kings Road prices. Pub is way too bright and it is very hard to feel relaxed in this place. Won't be hurrying back there as there are other pubs locally that have more to offer at the same extortionate prices. Even thought the old Fox and Hounds was grubby, at least it was welcoming and had character. Shame, but who cares.
