The Anchor, Wisley

Went here for a friends birthday evening last weekend, I was very disappointed in the menu (obviously thought of by some suit in head office) most of the food we ordered looked like frozen pre prepared rubbish, the friers needed cleaning as all the chips etc were manky. and I'm sorry but "confit duck" on a pub grub menu?? like the chefs through the back preparing it?? I don't think. Most of us left at least half of our meals. Pub lovely & in a beautifull setting. We go here for drinks quite often as we cycle there with the kids, but would never eat here again.

The Hand and Spear, Weybridge

Myself and 5 friends went here this afternoon for lunch,& a leisurly chat, What a spectacular pub! Last time I was here (about 15yrs ago) you could stick to the floor & it was just another grotty student pub. I didn't even recognise the inside, it was elegantly set, but not OTT, & as clean as a whistle. The hygine in most british eateries leaves a lot to be desired, so this was a refreshing change. Good menu, well priced, the only thing I'd change was the strange coating on the tuna steak (nicoise) it just didn't need it, not with salad!! drinks a bit on the pricey side, but the staff were warm & welcoming & the service was great. Well DEone!
