Pubs with Fires Royal Oak Great Bookham

David drinking Hammer head beer not bad
Nice pub wasn't where I thought it was, sat right by the fire comfy seats with barrel tables and a piano in the corner. Had a secret door leading to.... Nice friendly pub local but friendly.
Publican sounded gay but was talking about his children was busy ordering dark beer even though he doesn't drink dark beer.
Was intrigued by sign over door that said STFD so asked a local at the bar. So here's the story an old local man who was a bit of a curmudgeon apparently would tell everyone going out to Shut The F***ing door so the landlord said to him if you say that again you are barred. Next day he bought the sign along and hung it above the door - that was twenty five years ago and whatever happened to him? good story though.
