Visited 8th August 2010.
A little planning on Google Earth and a little typing into the TomTom and we have a plan. A trip out and three pubs close to each other, no problem. First, The Cap in Hand, followed by The Coronation Hall and finally The Kings Tun, what can go wrong? As it turns out neither I or Mr Tom had a clue as to where we were going and as we end up driving through Kingston trying to get Surbiton the plan, smoothly (cough!) changes and we're going in reverse order. No actual problem in that but it just emphasises how the A-team we are not. Anyway, we find a pub in what used to be The Empire. Not sure if this was an old cinema or theatre - maybe I should start reading more of the plaques and pictures in these 'spoons. We venture in and upstairs where we obtain a table number and place our orders. We opt for traditional faire with Mrs S going for the chicken burger and Pepsi and myself opting for the gourmet burger and Strongbow. It's not the best we've eaten, but not the worst either. How can there be so much variety in a standard menu? We decided not to stay to long as we had plans and wanted a quick look round Kingston as well. (Also not to sure about the yellow paint). And we're off...
