The Eight Bells, Putney Bridge

Only ever go when watching Man City at Fulham. Great away fans' pub. Usually packed but has loads of standing room outside. Plenty of extra staff on match days - though it is a small bar so it's still slow when it's jammed. Definately worth it if your going to the game as an away fan.

The Black Horse, Amberley

Was headed for the Sportsman following reviews on here - but came across The Black Horse first and needed a beer too badly!!

Just to balance things up a bit - I thought it was a good spot. Nice walled beer garden (no sweeping views but very nicely done). My pint was good. Food was pretty straightforward pub menu stuff - but in our case was well executed. My wife had a really good piece of cod - large, well cooked with cracking chips. I wanted a simple ham sandwich - thick hand cut ham on nice bread, couldn't have been better.

Only been once - but based on that, definately not one to avoid as might be inferred from previous postings.
