Oh good.... slippery slope back to the way it was then. So does anyone know if it has been sold of just new management "yet again" been brought in..... not that I will ever step foot in the place again!!

Maybe its hours have changed again then (the board I saw said 4 till close weekdays 12 till close weekends...... or maybe whoever owns it doesnt know what to do with the place anymore!!!

Apparently this place has now reopened, 4-close week days and 12-close weekends.
However having bumped into one of the ex barstaff there, it would seem that none of the staff that were there have been offered their jobs back, none of them got any sort of compensation for the pub closing and them being out of a job, not even a weeks notice, all seems very underhand to me, so I shall be avoiding it!

this has become my "local" recently. Great pub, fab staff, good food, lovely garden to read the papers in on a sunny sunday, however the drinks are not cheap! Worth it though!

Nice enough pub, with ample outside space, but very expensive!

Sadly it would see that this pub has been closed. Sign on the door says "until further notice" so I dont know if it will reopen at some point..... shame all the hard work the Ex manager Kate put it has gone to waste!

I do not go here very often, (maybe once a month) and was very sad to hear that the latest manager has left, the standards seem to be slipping already, and the louts are on their way back in. Kate ( the ex manager, so Im told but dont quote me!!) was the best thing that ever happened to the Admiral IMO, I hope it does not go back to how it was.

The Swan Inn and Lodge, Claygate
This was my local for many years, and has always been a great pub. Busy when you want it to be, quiet when you dont! Beer festival was always a hit, as was the food.... the thai is to die for.
I miss the swan now having moved away!!

Great pub which serves a mean Addlestones cider, lovely garden in the summer, found the food a bit Hit and miss though- sometimes its amazing others just so so!

Currently my local..... nice little pub, with garden. Great live music every other Saturday night, which always sees the place packed.

A lovely local pub away from the high street. Fab new manager, and great bar staff (on the whole). Nice beer garden which has had some great BBQ's over the summer. Quiz night was fun the one time I went. Good selection of beers, ales, wines and spirits. All round nice friendly pub!
Oh and many might be pleased to find out, as I did on my last visit, that the bald mercedes bore has been barred!!!

The Plough, Byfleet
Hmmm I liked this pub, for the odd gin or two, but it seems there is a Landlord problem here. No management skills, if you don't like what someone is doing, take them to one side quietly, don't have a huge row in the pub for all to see. It would also seem that this is not an isolated event (reading reviews on other sites)...... sad that this lovely little pub is being let down.
