Old Wheatsheaf, Frimley Green

Visited with friends of ours on a Saturday evening and ate in the Restaurant area. 3rd time we've been now and must say food is delicious. Lovely staff. Will be coming more. Highly recommended!

Hedgehog Inn, Copthorne

Well it's very easy to criticise when things are less than perfect, because things are generally never perfect, and some of the previous comments on this Pub could've easily put me off yes. But I stuck with comments gained from another website which were more up to date, and took a chance. I'm glad I did, because although far from perfect, The Hedgehog was actually a very Good experience. The room was very nice and clean and everything worked. The pub itself made for a very pleasant rustic atmosphere (it felt good in there), and the food although not all things were available, was extremely well cooked and tasty. There were staffing Issues but they were being addressed at that time so I can see it hopefully getting better again. The Lady manageress who I think was german was very passionate about completing the turn around from over a year ago. It seems to me she has improved it a fair bit already. All in all a very good experience, some little things here and there might need adjusting, but I believe it's worth giving it a try. at the moment this pub sits in the 2.6 range on here which is clearly wrong after my experience. It deserves better and I wish it well as it is essentially a very nice building, with clean looked after rooms and very good food topped off with pleasant helpful staff.

The Maypole Inn, Hayling Island

A Sunny but Cool Saturday lunchtime right at the beginning of March and we had driven from our Surrey/hants Border Base to Hayling Island. Before a little visit to the Beach we stopped off at The Maypole Inn. Having done some prior homework, it seemed this pub with a 9+ rating had to be tried out. Well on the Food front it was Superb! I tried the option of 'Pie of the Day' which was Steak and Kidney and it proved the best Steak and Kid pie i'd ever had. Lovely Puff crispy pastry and enough filling to embarrass those who are used to 'Sparse air filled' competition! There was Kidney everywhere the fork wandered. It was served in portion form from it's 'Mothership' Pie, and Chips and Peas that accompanied it were delicious and cooked to perfection. My wife had the Scampi and Chips and this again proved excellent. Although we both had Guinness which was reliably ok, there were a few very good Bitters on and plenty of Lagers too. I would say a very nice Pub to probably have as your local too, as it seemed very good humoured and friendly. Give it a Try as the Food is worth the 9 alone! My Wife and I will be back for sure. Well Done The Maypole!
