The British Volunteer, Weybridge

Agree with As_Johnson. The locals at the bar do form a human shield.
One returning from the toilet rudely squeezed himself passed us obscuring our drinks being ordered without any acknowledgement or manners.
But nice enough pub. We are going to the Reggae evening on July 17th. We will let you know how good it was. Ale was in good nick, Youngs, Special, St Austell and one more (I think Bombardier). Fair bit of parking nearby.

YES! Finally, I can once again drink in my "local".
The pikeys have been sent packing. Chris the new manager wasn't around tonight, but his other half Jane was. She explained how the pub has been cleaned up.
We are thrilled that our pub can be frequented by normal people once again.

As for ale, the Courage Best was in good order (and only 3 quid a pint)
(they clean the pipes regularly) and I begged them to get something more exotic on which they will when the trade (read adults) start filtering back.
I will be pacing the high st with my cheeseboard letting everyone know that we have reclaimed our pub. I couldn't be happier.
