An unusually high 6/10 for me.
And behold! Another list: National Gastropubs!
8, I think.
Don't recall eating in any of them, mind you!
And one of them is this place - The Hand & Flowers
Like the Coach (same owner), there was an assumed tab and a “we’ll bring them over” from the bar staff. So we thought it was a bit pretentious but fair enough. So imagine our surprise to find on our receipt that we had been charged for the privilege! I put them right on that score quick enough but rather got the feeling that despite their claims to the contrary, this was occasional practice when they think they can get away with it.
That was in 2016, so maybe things have moved on a bit...I haven't felt the inclination to go back and find out.

Please to report that I've only been in 6,and only eaten in The Anchor & Hope.The others where beer has been consumed were The Baring,Guinea Grill,Dawnay Arms,Marksman and Dylans/Kings Arms.
The Rambling Pig ,Ewell seems to have expanded into the King William IV which was a drinking hole of choice in the village when I was young but that was a very long time ago now.
