The Thatched Cottage, Farnborough

I heard a couple of rumours about the Thatch!
1. That Dean (the manager) had left. True?? Think that one is.
2. That they'd lost their Premises Licence recently?? Really don't know about this one - anybody fill me in?

Haven't been in there in a while as I moved away but I do go back to Farnborough to see friends and don't really want to arrange to meet people at a closed boozer!

The Endeavour, Chelmsford

Love this pub!! Often stop in on my way home from work for a swift Maldon Gold (or two!). My dad also goes in every now and then and says that the Green King IPA is always tip top!
When in Chelmsford - well worth a visit!

The Prince of Wales, Farnborough

Renfield,

Firstly, I didn't call you a miserable old w*nker! I think you'll find that I said IF you are then the staff will make you wait!!
Secondly, I've found the locals to be hospitable and IN THE MAIN let me get to the bar with just a polite 'Excuse me.' or 'Sorry.' or whatever works for you!
Thirdly, OF COURSE there are a***holes in the pub!! There are in EVERY pub I've ever walked into (which is a few!!)! Trust me, if ever I find a pub without an a***hole in it, then I'm buying the house next door (some might say to feel the a***hole compliment!) as it would be Utopia!
Fourthly, it's a small pub, people smoke therefore it'll get smokey! Until the fascist smoking laws (but that's another matter!) come in then that's just the way it is!
Fifthly, I am not a local so it really doesn't reflect the local attitude! Please, before you jump to conclusions, check your facts!
Finally, I DO so hope that I didn't make you wait TOO long!
