About three or four years ago I spent six weeks in Walton-on-Thames and have been trying to acquire…read morea work visa so I could move there from Los Angeles. Not much of a demand for comedy writers/improv comics over there. I attended graduate school (MFA in Creative Writing) at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada and I experienced some anti-American sentiment there. Consequently, I expected the same in the UK. Never saw it. Quite to the contrary, I've never been treated so well. The British treated me better than my own family, which might not be saying much. One day while my British girlfriend (We've since split up) was at work I walked over the Old Manor Pub in Walton-on-Thames during the lunch hour. I expected either anti-American sentiment or at the very least, a cold shoulder. Again the locals and I had a great time drinking your superior British beer and exchanging anecdotes. I've never had so much fun with my clothes on! I would love to email the Old Manor Pub but can't find an email address anywhere. Does anyone know how I can email them? This is a pub you definitely want to spend time in. If only that British lady hadn't dumped me I would be spending my weekends there today instead of Hollywood. I love the UK. It's the closest I'll ever get to Heaven. Sincerely, Tom Neuhoff World Humour Hollywood, California

They've got some good beers here, from the local area too. As well as the relatively well known Summer Lightening there were a couple of tasty beers from the Surry Hills brewery (Greensand IPA and Ransmore). There is a big garden outside and the negatives are few. The tables are a bit tightly packed together and probably require a lot of customer rearrangement when busy. Toilets could do with improvement too.

Well-kept ale and a lovely beer garden, plus a heated outdoor tent area for smokers add to the appeal. They have been know to project Wii games on a 27 ft screen in the back garden in summer. Random fancy dress parties seem to occur for no reason. No hot food at the moment but they have a truly stunning selection of English cheeses.

After some wait we had ordered drinks and were content. We were told that they did not have the staff to take food orders , and could we order at the bar. So we did. We overheard the staff telling another customer that there would be a delay of an hour before they could get food, so they decided to leave. It took approximately 2 hours before any food arrived, and it came randomly as they seemed unprepared to serve our 2 tables, and some of us had almost finished our meals before the others had even been served. My steak was ordered rare and I got well done. There was no point complaining and asking for a replacement at that stage. Fortunately, as guests we were in a good mood, but we were still hungry and ate what we could in terms of the quality of the food. In the end, after discussion with the manager, the bill was adjusted, and we did not pay for the food. At some point , i recalled an episode of Fawlty Towers and it was as if the pub was re-enacting that show. It was sad that a pub with no beer, and poor staffing levels, had been our choice of venue for our family reunion , but sometimes it works out like that. But a Greene King pub should be doing a better job!

The quality of the meal was fantastic. I ordered their petit filet with their creamed corn, a combination of corn, a touch of cream, spinach, onion and bacon that I'll make at home having tried it this way here. They butcher their own meat every day, and the filet was very tender, cooked as desired. The overall menu has something for everyone, and meat lovers are very likely to enjoy the options. The restaurant itself was lively but not so loud that anyone was shouting... a very comfortable place to eat and enjoy company. It's also dog friendly. I'll try to make it back again on the next trip through Heathrow... thoroughly enjoyed the meal.
