The Ship, Woking

A nice little traditional local with low ceilings and beams, old furnishings and assorted bric-a-brac with a vaguely nautical theme. Shame about the damned fairy lights but at least it feels like a proper pub. Cask ales were a wonderfully retro Courage Best (which I would have drunk here 45 years ago, although lord knows where it comes from now), Abbot and a surprising Exeter Avocet. Good pub with a friendly landlady who is doing her best to keep it going.
