The Dukes Head, Leatherhead

Pub is dark and cramped, smells pretty bad and toilets are horrible. Choice of ale was worse than poor. Took ages to get served as no bar staff behind the bar, they were chatting to friends. Not very friendly either. Went for a pint of stella which wasn't badly priced, but tasted metallic/chemically??? Complained to a very rude member of bar staff, so left. On my way home my throat was burning up, after a few hours decided to see a doctor who said that my throat was inflamed in a way consistent with beer line cleaner !!! Have reported to mole valley council, but if you go here make sure you stick to bottles.

Excellent ale, fully deserving of it's position in the good beer guide. Very good value for money food, friendly staff, great atmosphere with staff taking to time to interact with regulars which is always nice. Certainly the best pub in this area by a long way. Toilets could do with a refurb, but if you're a real ale drinker, the choice and quality here is the superb. A massive improvement on what it was 6 months ago, which has to be credited to their new manager. Well worth a look
