Pubs with Fires Plough Downside

David drinking Shere Drop but it wasn't good.

Nice pub we got a seat by the fire friendly pub and a lovely big fire. lots of nice seats outside by the river.

A man came and put logs on the fire he was wearing sunglasses inside? He apparently was the logs-man who delivered to the pub so of course it was in his interest to put a few more logs on the fire. He said he delivered 700 logs a week to the pub that is a lot of logs.

Pubs with Fires Swan Hotel Staines


This was the first pub we went to on our tour of Surrey pubs it was actually an hotel and was quite far away. We forgot the camera and took the picture on David's new Ipod Nano anyway we ended up taking a video by mistake so sure pic won't be much good.

David wasn't too impressed with this pub but it was very comfortable but unmemorable.

Pubs with Fires Old House at Home Dormansland

David drinking spitifre

No seats in pub so we sit outside very busy hops hanging everywhere it looks a bit like a tatty front room. There is an old map of Dorman's Park Estate on the wall.
David takes ages to get served but he says that the girl is very apologetic and is keeping her eye on who is next- its all because " Trevor's not here".
Great for people watching while I wait there is a group of men from Kingston Phoenix Cycling Club all different ages having lunch. one catches my eye he looks quite old but appears to be wearing a Super hero top blue with a big yellow star on the front. He has lots of thick dark curly hair like a cartoon hero- I think he is superman's Dad. One of his friends says "Why do so called friends keep sending you rubbish emails"- amen to that.
its quite cold outside so we drink up quickly and go.
