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.

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

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!'

'Large Pubco eatery on the A24 north of Worthing, good menu and beer selection but pricey for what it is. We had a light lunch here about a month ago and it was nice but not worth what I paid for it. Tourists, better value to be had elsewhere.'

Worthing Pubs : The Lamb Inn pub in Worthing
'Update time. It's changed hands again and what a 'mixed-bag' we have now !! The food is superb, the beer okay and some of the customers....well...how can I put this....unusual!! My only advice, keep the garden tidy and clear of glasses as they have a good children's play area. Tourists, no real facilities for smokers but worth a visit (at least once anyway).'

Worthing Pubs : The Broadwater pub in Worthing
'Possibly the best sports bar in the area, food and ale are well kept, cooked and served at reasonable prices. They also have a good mix of age groups. Tourists, not my first choice as it can get noisy when big matches are on but it's a decent place.'

Report

Binsted Pubs : The Black Horse pub in Binsted near Arundel
'One of the very finest pub / restaurants in the Arundel area and very competitively priced by comparison. This pub has some of the finest views over a golfcourse and woodland anywhere to be found locally. Couple this with a lovely garden and a conservatory dining area makes this pub something slightly special. Their menu is wide and changed regularly, beers are superb. Tourists, signposted off the A27 west of Arundel.'

Goring-By-Sea Pubs : Highdown Hotel pub in Goring-By-Sea near Worthing

Goring-By-Sea Pubs : The Bull Inn pub in Goring-By-Sea near Worthing
'I would love to write a review about this pub but it's been chock-a-block full for their special lunch deals on the two occasions we've stopped there. Their parking facilities are a bit limited for the amount of trade they do.'
Report

Worthing Pubs : The Smugglers Return pub in Worthing
'Located on a busy crossroads on the edge of a small industrial estate with limited parking facilities. It's clean and tidy, serves good ale and does most other things well but...it has got one or two of those idiosyncratic types of customer !!.'

Report

Alfold Pubs : The Alford Barn Inn pub in Alfold near Cranleigh
'Not really a pub, more of a restaurant at the 'top-end of the trade. It's located on the A281 (southbound) in a large converted barn that must be literally hundreds of years old. Tourists, something quite special when you see the interior, genuine and original wood beams.'

'This pub closed about 4 years ago.'
Report

Horsham Pubs : The Green Dragon pub in Horsham
'I stopped here at lunchtime recently and had a superb bowl of real home-made mushroom soup. It's a vary old 1780ish Hall and Woodhouse pub that seems to specialise in high quality reasonably priced bar food during the day and all sorts of organised entertainment during the evenings. Tourists, it struck me as good all round value for money when compared to most everything else in the town centre and this pedestrianised precinct. Good tip, use the Park and Ride bus service at £1:50 for the day.'

Chichester Pubs : Black Horse pub in Chichester
'Small in size, big in quality and good parking. This pub is on the A286 south of Chichester and represents good all round value for money with their ales and (home-cooked) food. Tourists, it beats most in Chichester.'
Report

Weybridge Pubs : The Old Crown pub in Weybridge
'A very old three bar pub by the River Thames that serves top class ales and ordinary well cooked pub grub. Tourists, one of the best pubs along the Thames tow / footpath and not stupidly priced. NB it's best to park in nearby car-parks as traffic wardens in this town are about as tolerant as a rabid doberman !!'
Report

Glasson Dock Pubs : Dalton Arms pub in Glasson Dock near Lancaster
'I hope this pub is still in business, about 15 years ago I and a couple of friends had one of the finest sunday lunches to be found anywhere at that time. For those amongst us who happen to be pub food freaks like me, it was a 'flatcap' better described as a larger than normal Yorkshire Pudding that's made to fit the plate. Meat, veg and gravy are then arranged in the pudding. Absolute work of art. Tourists, I'm now out of date for this beautiful part of England, best to seek advice by messaging this sites Administrator (Dale)'
Report

Radstock Pubs : The Tuckers Grave Inn pub in Radstock
'This pub should be classified as a National Treasure, real olde worlde approach (including furniture), dangerous local cider and a local community that make a pub what it should be - plain good fun. The history of this place is interesting too, named after an old Landlord who reputedly hung himself. Tourists, as I remember, very limited public transport in this area but to miss a trip here is depriving you of something ! On my last visit, I was not driving and had a few too many of their ciders, I swear to this day I closed one eye and could still see double !'
Report

Cobham Pubs : The Fairmile Arms pub in Cobham
'Looks can be deceiving, this pub / restaurant and hotel is not all it appears when you see it from the road. It's located on what is the old London road (formally old A3) north of the town and sports a fantastically long frontage with an impressive yellow and black 1800s carriage in front of the building. It's also super safe for children as no child could reach the road before being brought down by Mum or Dad ! However, food is standard 'ping-fling-and-bring at Surrey prices. Tourists, bar snack dishes are however very good and it's worth having your camera to hand. '

Chichester Pubs : The Star and Garter pub in Chichester

Littlehampton Pubs : The General Henry pub in Littlehampton
'Fully up and running now under the new management of Gareth and Lisa. Good sound no nonsense pub-grub menu at highly competitive prices and excellent ales. Entertainment is far more than just music - all sorts of high tech interactive games. Tourists, 0.5 mile inland from the main commercialised areas of Littlehampton and a lot cheaper. Smokers, shielded from the wind on a patio with canopies.'

Rudgwick Pubs : The Mucky Duck Inn pub in Rudgwick near Billingshurst
'The correct address of this pub is The Mucky Duck Inn, Tismans Common Nr Bucks Green, West Sussez RH12 3BW Tel 01403 822300 or www mucky-duck-inn.co.uk A seriously good real ale pub with good food and luxury ensuite accommodation. It's a bit of a time warp in many ways, huge open log fire, wood beams and a cat named Eric sound asleep in front of it. Tourists, about 1.5 miles off the A281. NB best to contact them first if it's accommodation you're after as this is the Surrey / Sussex border area and prices can be similar to noughts on the end of your telephone number !!'
