Decent Pub/Restaurant for family meal

[stevieb]

Are thre any family friendly pubs/restaurants that can be recomended for this saturday.

The group will have a few adults and 4 kids.

I want something that is what you would call good pub grub. Steak and Chips etc, not the fancy calamari, or fancy prepared potatoes.

CAn be anywhere within 20miles of Woking. dont mind travelling for some good food.

Oh it's in-between west Byfleet n wisely gardens leading on to a3...

Just looking at the reviews for that pub. It seems a bit mixed, at times it can be really good..

There are some nice pubs around but the food just seems a little to fussy for my liking.

And another. However, 20 miles you say? If you fancy a bit of a drive, the Golden Retriever in Easthampstead (read Bracknell) is very nice, and again, nicely located, great food and a nice park round the corner to go for a walk afterwards.

Jolly Farmer in Worplesdon is another nice one.

I went there 18 months ago for a Saturday night meal with a few people. The fish pie people ordered was cold, and mine wasn't much better. The whole operation was unprofessional. But again that was 18 months ago, owners/management/staff/cooks do change, just it was that rubbish I had not been tempted to go back.

But if it is better now.....

The Quays near Farnborough has a nice outdoor setting on the lake with kids play area and Heron on the Lake near Fleet is also ok if you want to do some walking or exploring afterwards. I've not been to the Star in Hook Heath for a while but it used to be pretty decent.

That was my memory of the place.

The Four Horse Shoes in Chobham was ok the other week. 3 adults and two kids ate for under £40. Not the last word in gastronomy but if you just want pie and a pint perfectly OK

The Swan in Ash Vale. I've eaten there many times and its always been good. Also eaten at one in Pirbright, not the one on the green but on the road that leads to Normandy. Not sure what its called but it was very good!

Great recommendation. Have had several good meals there and a good selection of ales too. Lovely garden next to the canal if the weather is nice.
