Jack Sparrow, Chertsey

Jack Sparrow is a basic L-shaped bar that I expect was once a shop of some sort. The front wooden floored bar has banquettes under the front windows that are faced by a serving counter that runs across the rear wall to the right. Up the left is a raised tile floored area with a pool table and some both seating. Sky Sports horse racing was muted on a couple of televisions and another was supplying background music via Gold Radio that comes with adverts. This is a community bar popular with older men who enjoy drinking mainstream lagers.

Named after a fictional pirate from a film franchise that used to be good but has long since gone the same way as Police Academy and Star Wars. Dead basic L shaped interior, bunged out in neon to hide the basic cheapness of the place. Pool table round the side. Chairs and tables set out like a school disco. Locals plenty lubricated but friendly enough. No cask, so a half of Guinness and a quick glance at the rugby. I guess it knows its customer base, and I am not one of them.

This pub is now called Jack Sparrow and is a wine bar. Couldn't see any real ale on.
