Five Bells, Staines Upon Thames

I was in The 5 Bells july/august this year and I go into it every year when I go over as my son lives near the pub. I find it to be a very fine astablishment with very friendly bar staff and a friendly customer atmosphere. The food is very good and reasonably priced as is the drinks they serve. The beer is excellent and have a good range to choose from. The smoking areas are quite adiquate. Over all, a fantastic pub and would reccommend it to anyone

Bland but clean inside bar, leading to a separate non-smoking conservatory area which is rather smart. Darts available and food on offer is exotic (for Stanwell) and fairly cheap. Spacious beer garden is basic, but looks to be poised for a bit of development. Sadly only one handpull (Courage Best) in good nick but a bit cold. A fairly good little pub that looks to be going places and could be a well-worthwhile visit in a year or two's time, especially if the ale selection improves.
