Straightforward Fullers local of the type I assume they will sell off now they are nothing but a pubco. An elongated L shaped interior by virtue of knock throughs and despite the generally decent decor it lacks anything quintessential. The left side serves as a quasi-public bar (darts here) with the right being tighter and more homely. Six pumps with two Fullers ales; a pretty drinkable Pride (best of the day), ESB plus a cider. A solid - if unexciting - local. 6.5
October 2006
Three Fullers handpulls (Pride, ESB and Chiswick) which were in good nick. Pub itself was a bit devoid of atmosphere, a bit sterile for my liking and was almost deserted compared to the Crown. I didn't really warm to it. Rated 5.5

A pleasant, clean and tidy Fuller's pub on the edge of town, nowadays one long room but evidence of a once three room plus snug layout if you look up at the ceiling beams and note the door locations. The bar is on the back wall in the middle of the pub, the floor here steps up slightly then back down away from the bar. A darts area is through an opening at one end where a few shields and a trophy sit on a shelf. At the opposite end the room returns on itself to what still appears as a snug although nowadays not separated by a door any more.
Seating is conventional at upholstered benches and small stools, there is also a curious window seat in the front bay opposite the bar where there is nowhere to put your glass; a collection of locals were sitting on bar stools engaging in banter with what I took to be the landlord while a customer's dog snoozed on the floor.
Décor includes a few framed B&W pictures, rugby players, old boys playing dominoes, pictures of the pub. Large Fullers and Worthington mirrors, occasional candles, windows are curtained. All very homely really. The TV had the racing showing with the volume up while a clutch of old boys watched, occasionally in animated fashion as a backed horse came home or ran near.
This is a proper old school pub, I liked it here, no frills but comfortable.
Pride, ESB (£4.10) plus Seafarers. No sign of food but it was mid-afternoon on a Saturday.

Close to the town's football and cricket grounds is The Coach and Horses, a cosy and comfortable smallish Fullers tied house in a residential area of Chertsey.
As you approach the pub, at the foot of St Ann's Hill, a sandwich board welcomes you with the message - "Claire would like to welcome you to The Coach and Horses". People, not just pub anoraks like me, do notice small things like this.
An attractive hanging tiled exterior leads into a pleasant, but somewhat unremarkable, traditional single bar pub with a number of nooks and crannies breaking up the floor space.
It advertises accommodation - £ 68 for a double room - but this is a pub with rooms, not a hotel. It is however noticeably cheaper than that nearby bistro / wine bar place - Windsors - that featured on the TV programme, The Hotel Inspector, several weeks ago.
On my recent Saturday afternoon visit, despite the warm welcome promise, the pub was very quiet. The London Pride - £ 3.20p - was reasonable. The pub is a CAMRA Good Beer Guide regular.
This is a comfortable, welcoming, seemingly well run pub in a town where options appear distinctly limited

Pleasant pub in a residential part of Chertsey with an outside drinking area on the way in to the pub. Inside the pub has been opened out but still retains secluded seating areas. Three Fullers ales were available on our visit. if in the Chertsey area. Worth visiting even with the 10 minute walk from the railway station.
