The Onslow Arms, West Clandon

The pub remains closed. After a period of inactivity there is currently some building work going on. There is still no indication as to who has taken over the property.

The Jovial Sailor, Ripley

Just visited in the early afternoon. The pub had reopened after being closed for a week's makeover. We were greeted by an unsmiling and abrupt manger who asked in a loud voice if we were eating. We had planned on doing so but given his manner we decided not to. As there were only four customers in the pub I can't see the significance of whether we were eating or not.

The interior is a redecorated and smartened up version of the previous one. It seems unfortunate that Chef & Brewer did not use the time that the pub was closed for staff customer service training.

The Saddlers Arms, Ripley

A good country pub with friendly staff and reasonably priced freshly cooked food. Always a friendly welcome. Seats under cover outside for smokers. Dogs are welcome. Toilets could do with a makeover.
