The Half Moon, Woking

A traditional-looking village pub on the former A3, opened out at some stage to leave a U-shaped arrangement of three seating / dining areas around the central counter. There is a limited amount of semi-traditional furniture which makes it look quite spartan inside, a feeling exacerbated the unusually high ceiling. A duplicated choice of London Pride and the more local Shere Drop from Surrey Hills (£6.00) from the two banks of four handpumps, with reversed Tribute clips also available.

As described by Moby, below, this is a fairly ordinary town pub that does B&B, not that busy when we visited. It claims to be a gastro pub, but all that seemed on offer was pizzas and Sunday roasts. The ales on were Old Speckled Hen and Surrey Hills Shere Drop, plus the fairly standard array of Fosters, Becks, Peroni, Stella and Strongbow. The TV screens were muted, there was little conversation and we didn’t feel inclined to make an evening of it here. I’d pop in again if passing.

A pub that could do with some money spending non it. Very basic.The Food was expensive and not great and the staff were not altogether welcoming. Maybe we caught it on a bad day but there was nothing about our visit that would encourage us to return here again.
