The Snooty Fox, Three Bridges

The best chips available to man or beast. I like to have mine with lashings of salt and vinegar, flying in the face of common misconceptions of the dangers of high sodium intake. Taff, your fried potato comestibles are ace, and your chips are pretty darn good too. Best washed down with a bottle of house white, ridiculously priced at �7.75. For the connoisseur, there is a selection of sauces available in easy-to-open ready packs, ranging from tomato, brown (mmm delish) to more esoteric varieties, such as salad cream and sauce tartare, very good with chips. Also, do NOT forget the heroic proportions and portions of the Mixed Grill, which has defeated many a trencherman. Taxi Rank opposite outside three bridges train station to ferry the inebriate.

The Snooty Fox, Three Bridges

Vast improvement since the smoking ban. Barmaids very friendly and overall excellent service. Probably too much footie for my liking, but this is a sports bar after all. Probably gets busy in the eves, but way after my bedtime. Hot cocoa and slippers brigade, me.
I rate the chips very highly. I could't finish the Mixed Grill!

The Red Lion, Snargate

I went into the Red Lion many moons ago and was completely smitten. I feel immensely sorry for those punters who do not "get it". I stop by a soulless chain pub in Crawley on my way home (but not very often) and see people who don't seem to be all that "involved" with the experience. Loud music blares, vacuous stares meet your gaze, huge TV screens surround you, you might as well be at home! Youngsters today have absolutely NO IDEA what it's like to go to a pub and chew the fat with complete strangers from different walks of life. It's all part of the rich fabric of life which used to be. Robots serving ale from machines...
