The Three Crowns, Wisborough Green

had lunch here with my wife and two small children this sunday gone. choice of two real ales on tap, courage directors and west sussex bitter. emphasis on eating, although the extremely long wait for food (50 mins) not really excusable. Very, very friendly landlady though - replaced our pints completely unprompted after about 15 mins as they weren't bright enough in her opinion. Food when it finally arrived very good - superb quality, pink roast beef which melted in the mouth, sourced locally apparently. Slightly annoying soft rock (whitesnake, tina turner) in the bar area and slow wait for food aside, this seemed a really nice, friendly pub and i would return if ever in the area again.

Balham Bowls Club, Balham

this is a really unique pub with a subsidised JCR vibe from years back, very pop the way it's left all the bowls paraphernalia in place.

two frustrations for me: one, the bitter (only one tap) has been off each time i've been, and the (admittedly tasty) 'supper club' price per head is way overpriced (�14 for a slice of chicken pie and veg when i went last).
