The Stag on the River, Eashing

Popped in with a small group near the end of a long walk. Nice enough pub. Decent selection of local beers is always nice to see, such as Shere Drop and TEA. Agree with most posters, food is overpriced IMHO. Staff were friendly enough, and the landlord(?) did change my friends Shere Drop for him after commenting on being cloudy. A3 noise is a bit of a pain if outside, otherwise lovely setting. Interior nice in a distessed modern type of way. Oh, and dog friendly, if any space inside, or water bowls outside.

The Bulls Head, Chiswick

perfectly acceptable chef and brewer. As they go, food was fine, beer was fine, coffee was fine (driver!). The Cloud was working too. Obviously this pub scores because of it`s setting on Thames. To be fair the staff were very good, even allowing for the fact it was a fairly busy lunchtime. Tesco vouchers came in handy as well! A tip, 4x value for Chef & Brewer if redeeming Clubcard vouchers (�10 multiples).

The Royal Oak, Holmbury St Mary

was walking with some friends and our dogs yesterday in the area. was so disappointed with the service in The Parrot, Forest Green, decided to try this pub on way home. Smart move! Made very welcome. Service excellent. Locals friendly and chatty. Dogs were made a fuss of. Food was excellent value for money. All our drinks were good quality and fairly priced, Nice front garden to watch the world go by.And Sky sports to catch footie results etc... Will definitely use this pub again next time we are walking in the area. May even bring several more walkers with us. Well done The Royal Oak.
