please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Have recently returned to this pub after not going in for a couple of years. The experience has changed considerably since the last visits. First off - the beer is now drinkable and actually enjoyable. Of course, Sharps Doom Bar has made it onto the menu. The stuffs everywhere. However, Timoty Taylor is also there and a local brewery gets a look in on the third tap. All good on the times I've tried them.
As for the pub itself - changed hands a couple of times I think. There has been a revamp of the clientele also, moving many on I believe.
The big attraction for us - it is dog friendly. Keep them on a lead and take them in, under your control. A big difference to most other pubs here.
Sky TV offers the option to watch the big games of interest too. Will be returning soon!

Improving. This is just about my nearest pub. I've been in twice in the past six months and both times the beer has been excellent. I had the Twickenham Naked Ladies and the Gale Seafarers last night. Both very well kept, served in clean glasses. As we had the dog with us, had to sit outside in the garden. Nice touch - one of the staff offered and brought a bowl of water for him. Will certainly return and hope for a similar positive experience. It was not busy but the more positive reviews they get, the better.

Where do I start ? Well it's run by a couple of weirdos who spend there time playing with each other out the back rather than serving they are very aggressive arrogant people who has no I dear about customer service ! I made a comment about how discussing the toilets are and how dirty my glass was and he decided to grab my glass and smash it agains the wall and say if you don't like it then F off! Well that's polite I said and I was told I'm barred avoid like the plague you will have a better experience drinking your own piss on a park bench ! Thanks for the horrific level of customer service you have provided making me realise a park bench and a bottle of vodka would be a much better time ! Good luck using the toilets and drinking from there dirty glasses with out being sick and what ever u do don't complain about anything cause the lovely land lords will not listen

voiceofknaphill, You say you haven't been in for years yet posted a comment on 2nd Oct last year - Recounting old memories were you?
Everybody is happy if you don't come back and If you're so concerned about it being a drug den perhaps you should share that with the Police, they don't seem to have the same viewpoint! I personally think the new managers seem to be doing pretty well.
Try engaging brain before mouse-click

Barred, lol... What a nobber.
I haven't been in that shitehole in years and wouldn't go in the Fox and Flowerpot if I was paid to.
It's a drug den.

Another post by the stalker (or Firestarter) - And yes, you're still barred from here and the Robin!
|
Definitely a place to be avoided at all costs. Unless you are in to too loud music, punch ups or drugs.
|
If you want loud music so loud you can't hear yourself think you'll like this place. There are more ferocious dogs than punters in the bar, which isn't really surprising. Oh, yes, and the toilets stink

I've been going to the pub for quite some time now - I was very pleased with the service i was welcomed with. I enjoy all the live events and the small talk with all the other regulars. I really love the food as it tastes great whatever the meal. The landlady is very friendly and so are the rest of the staff your always remembered and your drink is always ready - i like it :D

Not really a 'pub'; if you're 17 and want to get hammered, or want to see Sky Sports and are not bothered about your surroundings, you might like this kind of place. Otherwise stay well clear, soulless, depressing, staff don't give a damn, filthy toilets, TV blasting out etc.

Having live music now. check out great band on the 24th April. Frayed Not

Quite a noisy place but possible to have a quiet drink as well. Will be doing Paintballing at the end of March. Think the London Pride may have improved, either that or I have no sense of taste!

Good point - does not seem to attract the chavs that are drawn towards the centre of Woking for their two pints of stella and punch up.
Bad point - Only ale on tap is London Pride and it tastes awful.
Othe features not listed here on the pub info are:
- Beer garden
- Fruit Machines
- Jukebox
- Pool Table
- Big Screen (2x Plasma 1x Projector)
