The Jolly Farmer, Weybridge

I was a regular at the Jolly for many years, a real 'local' old country pub with a relaxed welcoming atmosphere, pretty and friendly bar staff and well kept ales. I made many friends there over the years with other local and would meet 2-3 times a week.
However, it was a sad day for me when Dave and Sue left. Although Dave could be an aquired taste, he and Sue knew how to run a good pub and to a high standard. All changed when Richard took over, he was a square peg in a round hole, and encouraged any old riff raff. He had no idea at all...beers were often off, he was intoxicated on a few occasions and often rowed with his partner in front of customers. Needless to say I, and most other regulars, went elsewhere
When we heard he had left, we ventured back and immediatly welcomed by Jim, clearly just the right person for the Jolly, anxious to please and open to customers needs and suggestions. I am sure he will do well...Good luck Jim
