Guildford Pubs : The Royal Oak pub in Guildford
'If you're visiting the castle or their beautiful gardens, this is best value for money in the immediate vicinity. From a personal point of view, not quite my style but it's one of the better pubs in Guildford town center. Tourists, easily accessed from the top of the High Street or the multi story car park next door.'

Clapham Pubs : Coach & Horses pub in Clapham near Worthing
'Built in about 1710 as a coaching inn on what is now the A27, this pub is located on the west bound carriageway between the A24 (1 mile) and the A280 (2 miles). In terms of the bar, they appear to set the very highest of standards. On the food side, I can only describe it as full restaurant standard at prices just a little above traditional pub grub. As for their staff, totally professional in all respects. For any cynics that may think I have a personal interest in this pub, no I'm just an ordinary customer who respects the hard work done by others to achieve something considerably better than the norm.'
Report

Worthing Pubs : The North Star pub in Worthing
'An older pub that's been fully modernised by Ember Inns, excellent (ordinary) pub-grub, wide and varying range of beers, easy parking and a decent garden. At present it's run by a bright young Scot named Grant. To the tourist, located on the 2032 west of Worthing, one of the few decent pubs in the area.'
Report

Alfold Pubs : The Three Compasses pub in Alfold near Cranleigh

Kirdford Pubs : Foresters Arms pub in Kirdford near Billingshurst

Report

Goring-By-Sea Pubs : The Sussex Yeomans pub in Goring-By-Sea near Worthing
'This pub is located on the 2032 2 miles west of Worthing. It's not bad, just too many 'eurofiz' lagers and a severe lack of real ale. On the food side of things, it may be 'fling & bring' but it's well cooked, presented superbly and very competitively priced - cheap.'

East Molesey Pubs : The Poyntz Arms pub in East Molesey

It's run by a proper landlady (Glad, who stands no nonsense from anyone) with her husband (Terry) and ably assisted by their daughter Anita.

Guildford Pubs : The Kings Head pub in Guildford

Shackleford Pubs : The Cyder House Inn pub in Shackleford near Godalming

Witley Pubs : The Star Inn pub in Witley near Godalming

Blackwater Pubs : Crown & Cushion pub in Blackwater near Camberley

It's not really a 'locals' pub due to its location but for those looking for something different to the normal banal 'clag' in this area, you won't be disappointed. On the plus side, nice garden, a medieval banqueting hall (carvery), no foul mouthed yobs or half-wits give this place something genuinely different.'

Tarring Pubs : The Vine Inn pub in Tarring near Worthing
'Located in Tarring village, ideal for the tourist who is looking for something away from the usual 'pap-on-tap-and-plate' at fair prices. The garden area is fully enclosed with easy access to its own (clean) toilets thus saving the trouble of hauling children into the pub. What I particularly like about this pub's garden is the gas heater over a large table. Food & ale, all good and served by competent staff. ps parking is almost opposite the pub, but... try and remember when you are leaving - it's a One Way street!!'

West Molesey Pubs : The Surveyor pub in West Molesey

Walton-On-Thames Pubs : The Weir pub in Walton-On-Thames
'Located beside the Thames about 3 miles west (up-river) of Kingstone Bridge, overpriced, slow service but the setting is fabulous. On the plus side, I've never had a poor pint there and it was only a short bike ride down the riverside path from Molesey. My only real complaint, foul mouthed oafs messing about on the waters edge in summer and screeching kids running riot everywhere. Tourists, not the worst but better further inland (Weybridge) so keep walking or riding for another mile. My apologies to previous reviewer, I judge and write 'as seen''

Ford Pubs : The White Hart Inn pub in Ford near Chippenham

Ash Vale Pubs : The Swan pub in Ash Vale near Aldershot

Chiddingfold Pubs : The Crown Inn pub in Chiddingfold near Godalming

It's overpriced even by Surrey standards but to be fair, they have got a good chef and the staff appear to be better than average but always seem to be under pressure when things get busy. From a purely personal point of view of the custom base, just a bit on the 'stuffy' side for my liking.'

Littlehampton Pubs : Arun View Inn pub in Littlehampton

Worthing Pubs : The Cricketers pub in Worthing
'Good solid friendly locals pub with a variety of activities. I'm not sure if they've started doing food again but the beers are kept in superb condition at reasonable prices. Tourists, parking anywhere in Broadwater is not easy, catch 1.5 mile bus ride out of Worthing for this one as this village was here long before Worthing and has some interesting history.'

London (WC) Pubs : The Angel pub in London (WC)
'One of my old haunts when I worked nearby until a couple of years ago. Located 3 minutes from Tottenham Court tube station and next door to St Giles church. It's a typical Sam Smiths pub, clean, good value and no-nonsense food - all at very competitive prices. I'm told recently that ordinary bitter has just touched £2 a pint ! The pub itself is a bit of a labyrinth like building with all its bars and doors etc. and a 'courtyard' area but most interesting of all is the custom base!! This wonderful group of people consists of every known version of erudite, eccentric and interesting people that I've ever met - though I must add - most of them are civil servants, artists and a myriad of other fringe elements of society in general! Tourists, best value for money in this immediate area but don't expect anything fancy!'

Food is straightforward, no nonsense pub-grub that's been cooked properly, the ales are kept superbly, good parking, decent garden and sensibly priced.

This was followed by (arguably) one of the worst - Chris who seemed to unintentionally attract every idiot in the KT8 postcode area until recently when it was taken over again by what appears to be a real professional.

Guildford Pubs : Raymond Dean & Michael Ayling pub in Guildford

Tourists, just off the A29 (the Roman Stane Street section) and they do accommodation that is reputed to be very good.'

Cranleigh Pubs : Little Park Hatch pub in Cranleigh
'Possibly the best all round pub in Cranleigh, it has something for everyone. Well kept ales, good food and lots of it, big fire in winter and sensible prices. My only minor criticism, a garden full of noisy kids in summer (bah!!) Tourists, one of the few in this area that's reasonable value for money but....this is Surrey !'

Ewhurst Pubs : Bulls Head Hotel pub in Ewhurst near Cranleigh

Wormley Pubs : The Wood Pigeon pub in Wormley near Godalming
'It's about 39 years ago I first set foot in this pub and nothing has really changed - still a money loser! Many good couples have tried their best and to their credit, some have stayed longer than most. Three problems exist, some low-life customers, low indigenous population who also don't go to pubs and substantial rent increases. Tourists, not worth leaving the A285 for unless you're thinking of taking on a pub ! (I'm told it's closed at the moment)'

Blackpool Pubs : The Old England pub in Blackpool
'The full address is The Old England, 226 Red Bank Road, Bispham, Blackpool, Lancashire, FY2 0HJ 01253 591006 NB Bispham is a separate village to Blackpool. In 'another life' this was an old favourite for me when visiting relatives in Blackpool Road. As a pub, huge, loud, chock-a-block and great! (got the picture ?!) I'm told it's had its ups and downs with some 'chav-types' in recent years but it's on the road to recovery. Tourists, it's approximately a 3 mile tram ride from the town centre - get off at Bispham Stop and walk straight down Red Bank Road - you can't miss it!'
Report

Camberley Pubs : One Oak Toby Hotel pub in Camberley
'As said in previous review, it's a Toby in every sense. They have taken an old pub and modernised it beyond belief for those of us that remember the 'sixties' well !! Standards overall are high with an emphasis on food (carvery) and decent accommodation but ....a tad on the pricey side even by Surrey standards. Tourists, Ideal for overnight stops / long week-ends etc.etc. as the area has some superb facilities/events/ history and it's only 40 minutes to London.'
Report

Ash Vale Pubs : The George Inn pub in Ash Vale near Aldershot
'Closed about 3 years ago - soon after the Anglers Rest 200 meters along the road. Shame really as the last landlord was a nice old chap named Roy who made pipes in his spare time. Anyone researching background should contact me on this website as I was a regular for 2-3 years in both pubs.'

Angmering Pubs : The Woodman Arms pub in Angmering near Littlehampton
'Located on the east bound carriageway of the A27 with a slightly narrow access but good parking. This lovely old 16th century pub is now completely rebuilt and fully open again after a devastating fire and it still has a thatched roof ! The bar, superb range of ever changing well kept real ales. Food, restaurant standard, not over complicated and priced slightly above standard pub grub. Ambiance, tasteful decoration, quiet and professionally run. Tourists, well worth the stop but exercise caution when entering and leaving as this stretch of A27 is notorious for the wrong reasons! ! '

Bracklesham Bay Pubs : The Lively Lady pub in Bracklesham Bay near Chichester
'An interesting pub, looks more like a local health or dental centre ! However, it's near the beech, it caters well for children and it's reasonably priced. Tourists, if you keep going through Chichester (or off the A27) and straight on down the A286, you'll come to the Witterings and Bracklesham Bay.'
Report

Cranleigh Pubs : The Three Horseshoes pub in Cranleigh
'Located at the southern end of the largest village in Britain, very traditional old Surrey tile facade to the front and oversize bricks in other parts. If I'm honest, it's probably one of my favourite pubs in England for its traditional (quaint) approach and prices are about right for the area. Tourists, this pub is next door to an original Crimean Hospital which has some fantastic history. Tip; overnight accommodation in this immediate area is a bit pricey for what you get. Horsham and surrounding villages offer a better deal.'
