Boileroom, Guildford


Description: This venue has recently been refurbished and extended. Most of the bare brickwork walls have been covered over and painted a deep blood red. The unused area where the small bar used to be, now has a white wall, onto which they can project various images and information about who's playing. The most visible change though, is the long-awaited removal of the two vertical steel girders from in front of the stage, which is now straight, rather than curved. All these alterations together with a smaller sound booth and an extension housing new toilets has increased the venue's capacity to 300.  
   The walls are decorated with posters advertising forthcoming events, as well as menus for the in-house noodle bar. There is also a plethora of posters plastered to the ceiling by the bar, highlighting past glories. Familiar names include The Martin Harley Band, The Parlotones, The Great Outdoors, and Subsource. These are illuminated by a string of fairy lights, left over from christmas.
   The stage now features improved LED lighting and speaker stacks. There is also a new removable security barrier to prevent persistent over-enthusiastic fans from climbing on stage. This was in heavy demand on a recent visit to see the Sex Pistols Experience, although I'm used to being in the thick of it at the front, and even with a small mostly friendly crowd, I can see a possible crush hazard. But rest assured cause if a fight ever did break out, all the pint glasses are almost indestructible plastic.
   This is a very versatile space that can be easily used for a multitude of different events simply by the addition or removal of tables and poofs (I'm sorry but I just can't find any other word to describe two-foot high square or cylindrical padded blocks) answers on a postcard please. There are also wooden benches fixed to the walls on the stage side of the room  The main bar remains much the same offering Carling, Gaymer's Cider, Grolsch, Guinness, Red Stripe, various bottled beers as well as Jagermeister and other spirits, fruity cocktails and wine by the glass.
   The Boileroom is also home to the Sizzling Wok, their speciality noodle bar offering a wide selection of curries, soups, rice and seafood dishes. There is also a smokng area/beer garden (roughly 40sqft) at the back, with a modern well-designed canopy and wooden benches. It can be accessed through an airlock, and only when the lights are green. But don't worry, it's not one of those where all the oxygen gets sucked out, so you can't breathe. I have enjoyed many a great night of live music here in the past five years since it opened, and look forward to a great deal more, now its even better.

Compasses Inn, Gomshall


filler
Description: Built in 1930 originally as a beer shop, this venue sit by the Tilling Bourne stream. It only has a small car park, compared to its size. The bar area has stained oak beams and lilac painted walls, and red floral-patterned carpet. There is an odd collection of lethal looking antique agricultural implements on display, as well as many of the beer-mats from days gone by. There are plenty of tables and chairs, though the circular one in the centre, designed for patrons to stand around, doesn't have enough clearance, for people to pass, when the bar is crowded. They serve a selection of real ales from the Surrey Hills Brewery. On the other side is a proper restaurant, with access from the bar or directly from the street. The free live music, has been running for the last 10 years and is on Friday nights. They also host a mini-festival Gomstock, usually held on the Sunday of the August bank holiday weekend.

Description: This large venue is set back off the main road, which makes it quiet for traffic noise but easy to miss. It has two separate bars, the larger of the two is already no-smoking, and has wooden railings around the raised seating area at the rear. There is no shortage of tables and chairs, including some high stools at the bar and a couple of padded benches. The ceiling is off-white painted wallpaper and the walls are a shade of teracotta. They are decorated with art prints. In one corner is one of those dispicable snack/nuts dispensing machines that are becoming more common in pubs. The smaller bar has a few tables, a dart board and a pool table. Beers on offer include Carling, Fosters, Kronenbourg, Stella Artois, Belhaven Best Smooth, Guinness, Guinness Extra Cold, and Strongbow Cider. Also real ales Greene King IPA / Abbot + Guest Ale.
