The Royal Swan, Blackwater

I missed the train to Reading last year so thought I'd neck a quick pint in the Royal Swan to pass the time.

Pretty run down, poor selection of ales and the trance-techno tunes were up to ear-bleeding levels. However, I did get chatted up by a prostitute, which was most amuzing.

The Kings Arms (Hungry Horse), Bagshot

I had the pleasure of visiting this interesting venue a couple of weeks back, purely because they were the only place in town that had the footy on.

Anyway, never again. Now considering it was only 1pm on a Sunday, I found it really quite disturbing that the pub was packed wall to wall with teenagers who all appeared to be completely off their heads.

Going on the amount of gurning, sweating and how everyone was talking at 100mph, not to mention the things I witnessed in the toilets, I'd say these kids weren't drunk, but instead under the influence of other things.

I tried to watch the football, but after a while the constant interruptions by gurning chavs with dinner-plate sized pupils got the better of me and I left before half-time.

All good if you like cheap larger and chemicals. Not good if you like real ale and a calm atmosphere.

The Old Ford, North Camp

Popped in there after missing our train to Guildford and we were pleasantly surprised by the friendly barman, great ales selection and warm welcoming atmosphere. Shame we had to meet people in Guildford otherwise we would have stayed there all night.
Worth missing a train for.
