Good Beer Guide pub in Cheam.
There's some seating out the front, squeezed into a small patio area between pub and pavement. Entry is into a drinking area with a quiz machine, a flatscreen, and seating including a sofa. There are more tables beyond the bar, and right at the back is a dining room with tables ready-laid with cutlery. According to the 2011 Good Beer Guide there's a garden at the rear, and dogs are welcome.
Kake and James visited on a Tuesday evening in October 2010. Two real ales were available: Sharp's Doom Bar (£2.85/pint) and Greene King IPA. They also had Gaymers and Addlestones Cloudy cider. Service was friendly enough. Music was playing quietly, and a group of people were playing the quiz machine noisily. The lighting was notably bright.
As of October 2010, food is served noon-3pm Mon, noon-3pm and 6pm-9pm Tue-Fri, noon-9pm Sat, and noon-6pm Sun. As well as normal pub food (menu photos: 1, 2, 3), they also offer "hot rock" meals using the Black Rock Grill system — this is essentially tabletop grilling, a bit like Korean barbecue but on a portable grill with heat provided by superheated stone slabs photo of hot rock menu.
We only wanted a snack to keep us going until dinner, so we tried the potato skins (£4), stuffed with cheese and ham and served with a mixed salad. We'd been expecting them to come as wedges for sharing, but instead they were more like stuffed baked potatoes, consisting of two half-potatoes filled to the brim with stuffing and topped with dried herbs. They weren't bad, though; the ham was decent quality, they came with a generous quantity of sour cream on the side, and although the salad dressing was from a bottle the salad itself was quite interesting, with red onions and varicoloured peppers included.
According to a board seen outside in October 2010, quiz night is the last Thursday of the month, with a maximum of five people per team.
Accessibility: Two or three steps up to get in. Step-free to bar, seating area, and toilets once you're in. Not sure about access to the beer garden.
