The Onslow Arms, West Clandon

THE ONSLOW ARMS IS TO CLOSE, on or around the 14th May 2010.

I didn�t know that the place was in administration for some time and on the verge of being boarded up!

Anyway, the good news is the new owner is purported to be Raymond Blanc who is to completely refurbish the entire establishment over the next 12 weeks with �no expense spared�, according to the barman. I was in the pub today and, frankly, it needs it!

I think we all agree that the place is in need of a major overhaul, but I hope baby does not disappear with the bathwater! There is a rumour that the pub will be very much secondary to the restaurant (even that some portions of the drinky bit may be claimed for the sitty down, eaty bit). My feeling/hope is that just the Rotisserie will become part of the enlarged kitchen and restaurant, leaving the pub relatively unscathed.
