Jolly Farmer, Staines Upon Thames

No ale on my most recent visit and no sign of it ever being available either. Still almost 100% male oriented (well, the three cutomers). It doesn't seem cared-for. Unclean ashtrays and crisp packets were scattered around yesterday, despite there only being a handful of people in there. The TV wasn't tuned in properly (now hard can that be? Who is going to watch the football at your pub when all you offer is a small screen telly with a crackly picture, while almost every other pub in Staines that shows sport now has widescreen HDTV and a sound system to match?). Pretty grubby place really, needs a good clean, new carpets and some kind of selling point. The sad fact is that it really could be quite good, with a bit of effort.
