There's a great selection of tasty burgers on the menu, and they have a large selection of ales that are constantly changing. There's a lot of space, and when the weather is nice, a reasonable amount of space outside. There are also a stack of board games, but not all the pieces are always there, so it can making playing them a bit difficult. It's just one of those old style English pubs that is enjoyable to hang out with for the day and drink some ales. I can highly recommend them!

It's by no means a big place, but it made a big impression on me! First of all, the number one reason why I loved the Snug is the free refills on soda. Like many Americans, I love my Coke and I will drink it until I burst. I have become used to getting just one can or bottle here in the UK instead of constant refills throughout my entire visit. I felt like I was back in America! (I do realise that no refills are much healthier than drinking gallons of Coke in one sitting, but it's nice every once in awhile!) Aside from the refills, the food is awesome. My personal favourite is their eggs benedict (vegetarian of course), yet everything I've tried there is great. They also have a fun drink menu, including ice cream drinks which I'm always a sucker for. You can choose to sit inside at a table, in puffy chairs near the windows, or you can sit outside in the back garden for a bit of fresh air. Definitely a must!

Deep dark purple signage suggests money and a member's club feel and once you have stepped up the hefty steps, a doorman heaves open the door, a treasure lies within. Believe me you do need money to come in here but boy is it worth it. The place was packed with it being a Saturday after pay day after a long and somewhat alcoholically dry January. I had with me an egg that I had stolen from Pizza Express. Yes a hen's egg. I vowed to love, nurture and cherish this gift of life, insisting it would one day hatch. The egg was a talking point with friendly punters and sadly as I placed her on the bar to photograph her, she rolled off, smashing beneath my platforms. The manager quickly came to the floors aid and scooped up the mess, with me saying "who would bring an egg to a lovely place like this?" in his ear hole. Ahem. We got served quickly, even though the bar area is tiny and were produced with a fantastic passion fruit cocktail with a shot of expensive champagne. Later I had a shot of tequila and an 80's Pina Colada which I have to say was the best I'd ever had. Even after real ones in Cuba. Music was current, cool and loud and I managed to burst into the VIP section and get brought some drinks for myself and the other two darling Nicola's. Result. To finish off my fabulous members only kind of evening I used my light fingers again to acquire a lovely chalk board. This lives on my kitchen table.
