Lets just be clear on this shall we, the first time we went to this pub we turned up unannounced and the staff kindly allowed us to use the overflow car park, however some skumbag flytipper had been in and dumped crap all over one corner of the car park. At the November meet a few members of SS turned up with brooms before the meet and tidied up as best they could (which I think says allot about the club). At the December meet we spoke to the new manager there (he had literally been there days) who said that the car park would be fully sorted for January as he would like SS to meet there on a monthly basys. I will be paying a visit on Saturday to make sure it is clear if not then I will deal with it.

Says a lot about an area when the pub gets fly tipped in
I personal don't like the pub
I have only been once what with fly tipping in the car park and 2 unsupervised kids playing on the pool table tells you about the sort of people who drink in it

Fair enough, that's your opinion. I quite like it and the new manager we met seemed a decent enough bloke who is sorting the place out. Needless to say if it hasn't improved it wont be our monthly meeting point for very long but I say we give the place a chance

The two kids playing pool whose parents were sitting on the table beside the pool table?...

Sorry to hear you don't like the pub - I admit its certainly not an ideal location for everyone in Surrey - but the staff have been welcoming every time we've been down there, the prices don't keep fluctuating every time someone orders a drink and the food there doesn't take 2 days to arrive so its an improvement over The Fairmile already.

As for the "quality" of the clientele I think you'll be lucky to find a pub anywhere that doesn't have kids in it on a Sunday lunchtime, but I've not sensed any issues in the months we've been there thus far and, as far as I know, neither has anyone else whose been there: hence why the same members have continued to come back every month.

As Guy says, if no improvement is shown or if we feel the place is unsuitable for any reason then we won't hesitate to move elsewhere.

Google maps says 4 miles, but i'd go straight up the M23 to Hooley (j7 instead of j8) and then its only 2.5 miles from where the motorway stops.

Yeah it's about 10 mins from J8, going the J7 way is quicker but there are some lovely lanes between J8 and the meet spot

With the price of trade waste disposal so high, it is a sorry fact that fly tipping is on the up and the people doing it are less bothered about where and how far they have to travel to do it, the company I work for clear 2-3 fly tips a day on a good day.

We've got 8 cars signed up on Surrey, plus whoever is coming from SES and whoever decides to come without signing up first!

Whats the food like?

I've looked at the menu and i'm always a bit sceptical when a pub can do burger & chips cheaper than MaccyD's!

Its not gourmet, but I've eaten there a couple of times and its pretty good pub grub.

Northy Doons went for the Big Philly burger last time and I got food envy (I only had a meagre bacon & cheese burger) so I'm going Big Philly tomorrow.

Guys, it was great to meet you all and put some faces to names.
A very nice selection of cars .
I saw Karting steve getting plenty of pics, looking forward to seeing them.

Sorry I couldn't stay longer, I see my two boys on a Sunday and was running rather late.

The pub seemed fine to me, especially as it was warm and had loads of big tv's with the footy on

Steve and Claire great stuff with the calendars.

Surrey scoobies big thanks for the mugs and pens guys

I thought it was a good meet too: great to see some new faces from Surrey and some old faces from SES.

Sure we'll be at the pub again, so I hope more SES folk decide to pop along in the future!

And yes, I agree with Steve PPP, great to see Jura's car out of a project thread and at a meet!

Yep, as tbtstt says its not exactly gourmet, but i'd rather spend a fiver on a burger & chips in there instead of maccyd's. Simple cheap pub grub.

Plus point was that our table had a private TV in the wall next to it so i could watch the second half of the manc derby
