The Thames Court, Shepperton

we really like it here but its popularity is its downfall as its way too busy in the summer.
food is excellent and we havent had a bad meal there.
One point i really cant understand is why people queue to get to the bar! any decent bar person knows how to work a bar and serve in the correct so Isee nopoint in queueing out through the door to get served..anyone else notice this?
lovely during the summer when it is less popular

The Swan, Walton on Thames

I have given this pub a 5 which i think is fair, we came here a few times and had a great time, nice and clean, and a good atmosphere, HOWEVER went there this week and had an awful experience unfortunately.
With it being a nice evening we thought it would be good to sit and eat in the sun, we waited 40 mins for our food toarrive only to be told the order had gone missing and we would have to wait a further 15 mins.
25 or so mins later we went inside as it was now cooling off.upon querying our order again we were told it would be a further 15 minutes!
so the meal arrived an hour and a half after ordering, only for the burger to be well overdone (looked like it had been left under the grill waiting for the 2 portions of fish to catch up)my wifes platter was also lacking in dips as theyhad run out.
We left after telling the manager we would not be paying as it was a trully awful night...

shame because we have been saying how good it is there..TIP, go to the anglers excellent service always!
