Cornerstone, Kingston Town, Kingston Upon Thames

Following a Covid closure and a facelift, this has lost its Hungry Horse branding and is very much a pub of two halves. The front and side areas are family dining, with the back room being a large dark-painted sports bar complete with darts, pool and shuffleboard; TV screens abound throughout. Just IPA and Abbot on handpump - condition adequate but not great. Apart from the sport, I can't see any particular reason to come in here rather the Spoons over the road.

A routine modern town pub, run by GK under the Hungry Horse brand. There is a central almost island bar with seating in front and to the rear where there are booths and a side area. Some high tables to the front of the bar. A recess in a front corner links through to the Rotunda entertainment complex, there is a rather forlorn looking pool table in this area which looked to be equipped with a single cue. Large TVs on the walls had the cricket World Cup on. It was quite busy in here with a mixture of daytime drinkers plus those dining from the brand's budget menu. Three handpumps with GKIPA, Abbot and one reversed with what looked like a London Glory clip. Featureless and functional.
