The Queen Victoria, Shalford

Disaster!

I went in today and saw the "refurb" - basically yet another boring grey themed chain pub now. The atmosphere has been ripped out and it looks like the interior of a McDonalds. A couple of stunned locals sitting there not knowing what to think - is it a pub, an expensive restaraunt of a Doctors surgery??

I mean white furtniture in a pub - what a joke!

Can't see Live Music happening anymore the interior just doesn't suit anymore

No doubt the menu ( when / if) it is back on will be £30 burgers.

A real shame.

Keep going to Wonersh, the Grantly still does the traditional pub thing

Pub, Chilworth

No great loss, this place lost it's soul years ago and we can do without another cloned gastro pub. Could have been arson by a patron waiting to get served :)

Why is the service in "modern" pubs so appalling, The Percy Arms set a benchmark for high prices and poor service, so few will miss it.

I truely hope a real publican takes it over and truns it back into a pub.

The Parrot Inn, Shalford

Prices a little steep but the second choice pub for locals. Pleasant beer garden surrounded by greenery. Tow path walk nearby with beautiful rural vistas. Best to drink in the garden to avoid the loud music. Pleasant country pub, bring the family.
