The Noahs Ark Inn, Lurgashall

I recently went back to this pub after a considerable absence and I must say I was very pleasantly surprised. The landlord seems to have found a happy balance (which was not there when I last visited) between a village pub and a good quality restaurant. Lots of locals drinking in the bar and lots of non-locals eating in the other rooms (and thereby providing the profits to enable the locals to keep on drinking). Good beer, good laugh, excellent food. This one is back on my list.

The William Bray , Shere Guildford Surrey

My first visit to this pub a few evenings ago. Excellent meal - all 3 courses were brilliant. The beer was OK (Surrey Hills brewery) but really this is a top-notch food venue and I wouldn't recommend going for a booze-up.

The Noahs Ark Inn, Lurgashall

I used to be a regular here (see 13 July 2008 comment) until it changed from a village pub to a "Volvo and Audi destination". Last Thursday, being out for a stroll in the lovely Sussex countryside, I arrived at Lurgashall at about 3.10 pm and noticed a sign outside bearing the magic words "Open all day" and the lights were on in the bar. Thinking to let bygones be bygones, I decided to call in for a couple of pints. Unfortunately the barman had other ideas - "Sorry mate we're just closing". "But you've got a sign outside saying open all day". "Oh yes - that ended last week - forgot to take it down".
Never, never again!
The barman was however kind enough to offer me a lift to the Hollist Arms in Lodsworth - a proper pub, open all day.
