An Ember Inns large open plan but multi spaced pub in modernish style, mix of chairs & tables set for dining plus a few sofas at low tables and tall poseing table with tall stools. There are plenty of screens and machines. Eight pulls on one counter face and five round the corner all serving beers from the larger regionals, Adnams, Brakspear, Brains, dispensed from unusual pumps with a tall swan neck. Functional rather than charming. Beer is fine and the pub is in 2016 GBG.

A nicely-furnished and well-run Ember Inn, with a fairly large concentration on food but a good range of ales also. Knocked through from original layout, so various different room areaa at odd levels, but all with a clean, modern feel. The only pub at that end of town, a good place to get away from 'the circuit' in the centre, except possibly when Woking FC at home.

An Ember Inn with various interconnected areas, the usual modern Ember interior which inevitably comes across as a hotel lounge feel. Some exposed brickwork, clear glass windows with curved leaded upper sections which may hint at a previous, perhaps more traditional lifetime. A couple of fireplaces were burning away and were welcome after spending a couple of hours getting cold at the football, the central bar had a range of handpumps facing on entering. Hobgoblin, Otter Bright, Doom Bar, Adnam's Broadside, York Brewery Centurion, Ringwood Best Bitter, something else from Adnam's plus a mild I also sadly failed to note. More pumps to the side, despite all being clipped, were apparently not on.
A bit of outdoor seating to the front facing a busy junction was only going to entice the hardiest of smokers on a cold night.
The beer range is decent, this is not a traditional pub by any standards but sadly it is probably the best this town has to offer in my experience having visited numerous times for football apart from the 'Spoons up nearer to the station.
