UPDATE
Re-opened after an extensive refurb.Same layout as before but nicely decorated and nicer new matching tables and chairs.Lots of stuffed warthogs heads on the wall and 2 massive moose heads behind the bar.Four handpumps with Magic rock-highwire,Celt Experience -native storm and Sambrookes -jugged hare(house beer)Mega expensive for 2 halves but I may have been overcharged as my mate Mick got charged the very expensive price rather than the mega.In-house brewery should be up and running soon.

Def a gastro pub - def gastro pub prices for the beer.3 beers are usually on and although never that busy the beer has always been in good condition but then i always check the drip trays to see what has been selling best.Large beer garden with concrete tables and benches which can be a bit cold for the old farmer giles.Well known for good food its better its a gastro than a Tesco.

To me this pub represents an interesting contrast between old and new. On the one hand they have retained a number of original early 20th Century features – original exterior tiling, bar back, curtained draught excluders round the doors, etc, and on the other they have introduced the modern minimalist features such as solid wood scrubbed tables, bare boards, hard wooden chairs, and distressed leather sofas and low tables. The picture is completed by the potted plants scattered round the sides struggling for life, and the enormous chalkboard displaying the wine list. So, essentially something of a gastro pub then, but with separate restaurant and drinking areas. I didn’t eat there so can’t comment on the food. As to the wall decor – nothing worth mentioning. The young lady who served me was very friendly, but I suspect that this pub will never be very welcoming for someone who, like me, likes the more traditional pub. But they did have three real ales on – Ruddle’s Best; Harvey’s Bitter; and Brakspear’s Bitter – plus two more handpumps not in use when I was in there. The Harvey’s was OK. This is not really my type of place (for some reason I never seem to really like pubs painted battleship gray), but OK if you like these sort of minimalist gastro pubs.

On my visit here the barman was cleaning when I walked in and it took him a couple of minutes to spot me, but when he did he rushed over and served me quickly with a please and thank you. Landlord, Marlow Rebellion Smuggler, Hoegarden, Heineken, Amstel, Staropramen, Guinness and Addlestone cider were all available and a pint of Amstel was £3.20.
The concrete beer garden out the back is a little different, but the place settings and large wine glasses set on most of the tables inside let the gastro cat out of the bag. It was never great here when it was known as The Penny Flyer, but I think this maybe a step too far in the other direction.

Couldn't really make up my mind on this one - the inside was quite open-plan and lacked atmosphere, though some of the older features of the traditional pub have been retained. This is basically trying to be a gastropub. The range of ale was decent but unimaginative (although it was served well enough). Quite enjoyed the concrete jungle beer garden - it's a bit different and was a nice place to sup my beer in the sunshine, so marks there.
I'd say it was worth stopping off for, but not necessarily going out of the way to visit.
