The Woodman, Carshalton

Having been a fairly regular visitor of this pub on and off for many years, myself and a group of friends decided that we should spend a night at the recently promoted Halloween nigt and also dress up to have a chance to win �100 prize for the best dressed - how I wish I had read other reviews before we decided this.

As per SarahLee's post, there is no prize for best dressed, although, this year they changed their excuse. Aparently, they do not decide on the night by a vote or similar, instead they were going to look at CCTV the next day and decide! How they could decide on the best dressed through a TV monitor the next day and also find the actual best dressed to present them the prize, I dont know. Its all just a con to get people through the doors.

Also, as mentioned in many of the other reviews, the landlady thinks she is the real life Peggy Mitchell. She loves confrontation and will only be polite to the regulars that prop up the bar, not what you want from a Landlord/lady.
