The Berrylands, Berrylands, Surbiton

This large 1930's pub is one of the type found throughout the suburbs built to serve the expanding population. There are three main areas all with changing levels as the building steps down the slope. There seems to have been a recent refurbishment as everything looks shiny and new, but the result is that seating is either on a big stool at a high table, or at a low sofa with a low table. The bar runs through all three spaces, the room to the left has pool, and a few gaming machines, and the far right room was set for dining, although I reckon that would be a tad ambitious in a routine suburban location such as this. The frontage has a few benches outdoors. Some original features remain in addition to the seperate rooms, the art-deco ceiling is worthy of note. The centre room contains four handpumps, on my visit serving Hogs Back HBB, Ringwood Old Thumper, Youngs Bitter and Bombardier. The three pumps in the left room were unclipped so I suppose are unused currently. In short certainly worthy of a stop by for a pint, handy for Berrylands Station, but the abbreviation of the name to "The Berry" on the pub sign is a bit crappy to be honest.
