The North Star, Hook

We would highly recommend this pub. Comfortable seating, efficient and friendly service and a good range of quality beers. The food here is excellent with the cooking at a high standard. Best to avoid Tuesday evenings when it gets crowded with a very amateurly run quiz, unfortunately the lady who runs it is very pleasant but has not got a clue. Overall rating Top of the Pops.

We thought everything about this pub was grotty. Service terrible and rude, beer pretty ghastly, very smokey and a poor atmosphere and we did not feel welcome. Toilets and pub filthy. It is one to avoid at all costs and we would award it "Nil" points for everything.

St Marks Tavern, Surbiton

Mixed feeling about this pub. On the positive side staff friendly, they served really good value food and is good lunchtime. Changes face in the evenings when it can get rowdy. Our biggest criticism is the small space allocated to non smokers; under 10% of the seating and floor area which we found unacceptable, especially as this pub tends to have a smokey atmosphere.
