The Sugar Hut Village, Brentwood

Awful, overpriced - and a surprise that it was ever allowed!! That said, it's always packed so they obviously did their market research and correctly identified that what Brentwood lacked was an overpriced, dingy, O.T.T. venue with an over-complicated structure of "zones". Which I have to say is more of a reflection on the people of Brentwood (of whom I am one) than the SHV itself!! Shame on us. Bring back the White Hart.

The Lord Raglan, Wokingham

This is a nice little place! The food's good although occasionally a bit slow (a pain if you're on a lunch break) and the staff are nice, they went through a ropey patch but they seem to have a good bunch on board now. Yes it's a bit "trendy wine bar" but the wine is good and the loos are nice, and the quiz is good too. Plus they have no-smoking bits/days etc.

Thatched Cottage, Maidenhead

I went in this pub last night and you would think I had arrived from Mars the way everyone stared! I would not mind so much but by "everyone" I am including the bar staff. Not a welcoming feel at all, I left near enough straight away because I felt so uncomfortable.
