The Famous Green Man, Ewell

What a surprise I've been abroad working for some time now and retuned home to finalise a contract so thought I'd do a tour of the village, started at the 8 Bells, bit disappointing, wheatsheaf quiet but nice old fashioned pub, Spring nice surroundings food poor, warm and slow, staff ? what staff waited ages, Star not like the old days, Greenman (it wasn't famous when I left) but what a surprise lovely staff, served by a very nice young lady and later by a big foreign chap both excellent, welcoming and friendly beer was good and I've used it for the food which was fresh and very nice, didn't mind waiting a bit as it was fresh and the beer was going down so well. It's taken me a while to do all this and find Beer in the evening but I will be a regular and take friends there as the staff and regulars are all very friendly. The guvnor introduced himself at the weekend as he'd seen me a couple of times which surprised me as it's so busy but he seems a nice chap and the regulars seem to hold him in pretty high regard.
My Pub and will stay that way till I'm off again.
