Abinger Hatch, Abinger Hammer


filler
Description: The fact that this venue is pretty much in the middle of nowhere is both a plus and a minus. On the positive it gives it a quiet and rural atmosphere, on the negative it can be hard to find and takes a while to get there. On the right hand side is a long L-shaped brick fronted bar, with a thick wooden top, still with the tree curves. The ceiling has stained oak beams and uprights and there are plenty of old-fashioned kitchen type tables and chairs. It has small windows with dark red curtains, which can make it dark inside, though this can be cosy too. The walls are decorated with art prints, maps, mirrors, and photos of bygone sporting heroes. The floors in the front part of the bar are bare boards, there is a step down on the corner to a flagstone area with a large real fireplace. On the other side is a large dining room, complete with fake gas fire, almost real climbing plants, high chairs for young diners, and a piano. Beers on offer include Fosters, Kronenbourg 1664, San Miquel, Strongbow, Guinness, London Pride, and a selection of Ringwood real ales.

Surrey Cricketers, Windlesham

Description: This large venue has a patio at the front, and a large car park at the side, and a large beer garden at the back. Inside there are plenty of tables and chairs, Unfortunately the immense size is carried inside too, all the furnature seems to be 20% bigger than necessary. This can be comforting in a chair, but the stools make you feel like Dennis Waterman in that Little Britain sketch. Don't get me wrong, they are well made, and pleasant to sit in, it just looks a little weird. The walls are decorated with blackboards showing special offers, and old posters, and art prints. The floors are bare boards, although probably very hygienic, can make the place more noisy. There are large windows on three sides which let in a great deal of natural light. All of this gives the venue a relaxing seaside feel. The long bar has upholstered stools. Beers on offer include London Pride, Spitfire, Greene King I.P.A, Carlsberg, Guinness, Carling and San Miguel, Strongbow cider and wine on tap. Live music is presently on alternate Wednesday nights. Other entertainment is provided by a large LCD TV. They also have a function room for hire. Sadly this venue no longer does live music.
