chav central and the worst pint of guinness i ever had - hate pubs being turned into wine bars however in this case........

useed to avoid like the plague - new guv seems to have got rid of the trash
anyone go here in the mid 80s - when it was the vic with the alcoholic ex-boxer landlord?
3 Sep 2006 09:11
actually george drunk in the vic up the road not the flyer
22 Aug 2006 23:25
ok so the landlord doesnt have 'people skills' but the ozzy deputy girl with glasses is always friendly

nice old style pub near carnaby st - interesting decor including stuffed animals
once saw bobby gillepse from primal scream in there acting pretenious

if you remember the maff days have you seen pete doherty from chessington? no not the babyshambles one
shame it was bulldozed and the pub always had potential
massive claim to fame - bowie played the toby on the first date of his ziggy tour on 10 feb 72

its a harvester not the red lion which i fondly remember. needs atttention, ie beer garden could do with childrens facilities and the beer is watered down

the royal chav - i went in recently and thought i was at the zoo.
3 Aug 2006 22:37
my fav pub in surby aside from the vic with friendly bar staff / guvenor
3 Aug 2006 22:36
every time i go in he serves me san miguel whether i want it or not. considering i only go every month or less he either has a good memory or not many punters

went today for the first time in 10 years - where did the round bar go??
3 Aug 2006 22:31
i used to live in teddington and went to every pub at one stage or the other. nice beer garden but why did the land lady always look at me like i murdered her budgie?

The Slug and Lettuce, Kingston Upon Thames
I cant believe Roy is dead. No tribute in the Comet. Pah the times there are a changing.

Remember keep music live. Beer average but the music is the main pulling point.

The Flying Scotsman, Caledonian Road
Cabaret expert I meant. I think my eyes are going.

The Flying Scotsman, Caledonian Road
As something as a cabaret excellent not that impressed. The Queen Anne in Vauxhall is much more friendly. Beer was ok but the vibe meant I wouldnt stay for a 2nd pint.

The Robert Peel, Kingston Upon Thames
Battle of the bands? What about the cabret? What the Peel has been known for for 30 years. Beer average though.

The Spring Grove, Kingston Upon Thames
Gets my vote. Good cheap beer. Great beer garden & friendly staff. 9/10

Another pub - ditto the Berrylands & Vic in Surbiton - NOT ruined by a refurb. At last the breweries have got the message (after 20 years of messing so many up).
Aside from that beer reasonable.

There or the Marquis for lunch? Bit like asking Ant or Dec. There really needs to be a decent boozer in this neck of the woods.

The Marquis of Granby, Westminster
The pits - not the pub the customers. Full of no nothing Defraites.

RE the comment of 31 July - I was about to say that! fancy a pint? Seriously nice boozer with excellent bottled Youngs, ie Kew Brew, Waggle Dance, Champion. Nice bar staff in general & cheap. Also like the Berrylands not ponced up after the refurb - 9/10

One of my nearest pubs but not the warmest welcome - very much a locals - and the bar staff & customers show it. Excellent ESB though.
2 Aug 2006 21:34
I first started going in here in 1982 - indeed the first pub I got drunk in!
Moved back to the area last year & its a pub okay for a quite pint or 3.
The refurb is not bad either as they have kept most of the original features.

The Waggon and Horses, Surbiton
and the 'chunky' barmaid is an added bonus - remember attractive bar staff make people drink more
