The Hope, Carshalton

Why knock something that has obviously had so much hard work and effort put into it? The car parking situation makes perfect sense and it is quite simple. You park your car in the car park and upon entering the pub punch your number plate into the contraption on the bar. Thus avoiding said fine. I'm looking forward to my Sunday lunchtime drink this weekend. Why? Because it is a wonderful place to while away a few hours with some exceptionally kept and interesting beers, exceptional bar staff and fantastic atmosphere. I am yet to try The Trafalgar but I am very much looking forward to it.

Quite simply the most perfect pub. Fantastic and ever changing range of beers on draft and some absolute gems in the fridge. Food offerings are simple and very well priced but the focus quite rightly is on the beer. Faultless.

The Ship, Croydon

Awful. Quite possibly one of the worst Marstons pubs I have ever had the misfortune to enter and that is saying something. Hobgoblin on tap was vile, very doubtful the lines have ever been cleaned. Backed it to the barmaid who freely admitted the landlord "could not care less about the pub, isn't that bright and is running the pub into the ground." Further comments by some of the locals as to the state of the pub, its management and its dreadful beer guaranteed I won't be back.
