The Wych Elm, Kingston Upon Thames

This has to be my favourite pub in Kingston, though I wouldn't recognize it from some of the comments here. As far as I know, Manny the landlord doesn't bet, maybe that was Pete with the geegees. As for indifferent beer and an arrogant landlord, I don't think I've ever read such old cobblers. The Wych Elm has the best pint of Pride I've tasted anywhere and Manny's a lovely bloke. Rude punters? You must have been there on a bad day. Any pub will have the odd herbert, it's best to avoid them. My advice to everyone is to get along there one evening, it's great on the last Saturday in the month as there's a jazz band. The beer's in top form thanks to Pete working the cellar, but do be warned that they close for a couple of hours in the afternoon on Monday to Friday for a quick siesta. Come and be made welcome at this great Fuller's house, you can't whack it in my humble opinion.
