"The best selection of draught beer in Surbiton"

The Saucy Kettle has the biggest selection on draught and in bottles.

You are right - the Saucy Kettle does have a larger selection. It is more mainstream, though, concentrating on American beers like Bud and Coors, as well as the usual Kronenbourg type stuff. Gordon Bennett has a few different brews - Paulaner, Edelweiss, T.E.A etc that may suit some people better.

I agree with the above comment. It is just a nice place to go for a relaxed evening. The best selection of draught beer in Surbiton, and a nice varied menu.

Maple Road is nicer than Victoria Road for drinking, but I wouldn't say it is one of only a few bars that is trouble free in Surbiton - I have never seen any real trouble in any of them apart from the ones by the station.

GB does not come without it's downsides. It is impossible to get a seat after about 6pm on a Thurs/Fri/Sat night, and some of their beers are dangerously close to the £4 per pint barrier. Drinking in Central London is cheaper than GB, but I am happy to pay the extra for the great food and atmosphere.

Friendly staff, fantastic food, convivial clientele. What more could you want? Set in a great location just away from the hoi polloi of the High Street, this is one of the few bars in the area where there is seldom, if ever, even a hint of trouble. Apart from the slightly dated decor, perhaps, it can't be faulted.
