The Monkey Puzzle, Southwood

This place should be on foodinthevening instead of here as it has never since being converted from a farm ever fealt like a pub.

Originally it felt like an extension of the Dukes family front room with all thier friends drinking in it, everyone else were just an inconvenience.

Once they sold it for a couple of million it became nothing but a food place.

Never had and never will have a true pub atmosphere.

on a side note, if you fancy a cheap meal after work instead of cooking this could be the place for you.

The Hawley Arms, Farnborough

Does rather a nice kebab and burger from the van in the car park, not actually been in the pub itself since the late 80's due to fearing for my safety.

The Prince of Wales, Farnborough

This pub would get 10/10 if they considered lager drinkers too!!!

Lager is an awful choice typical of an "ale house" only offering wife beater and Heineken both at obscene prices.

Regulars are largely OK but some some of the "Ale drinkers" can be a bit anal.

Possibly has some of the best bar maids locally ;-) which is always a bonus when out for a pint.

Have yet to try the food
