| I went to The Old Well for a meal with my husband not long after it reopened and really enjoyed the meal. I thought it had improved a great deal. However, I was disappointed it had not gone nonsmoking when the ban was just a few months away. I have decided not to go back there until it is nonsmoking and the smell has gone away. I live much nearer The Hen & Chicken and love the building but hate the smoke. This pub is empty most of the time and my neighbours have said they won't go there because of the smoke, especially as there are no extractor fans. I am sure that when these pubs have gone smoke-free, and redecorated local people will come flocking. The other advantage The Lintot has is that it's child friendly, although admittedly mostly because it is smoke-free. But of course, you do need pubs where it is a child-friendly zone sometimes. So I look forward to July 1st, when I will have a choice which pub I go to, and not be forced to go to the lintot only, which doesn't have the character.

Just saw this and I would have to agree with DNWs comments about what a great cross section of the community this pub is attracting. I visited one lunchtime midweek and observed a huge mix of people all enjoying the 'offer'. I am not going to enter into the 'smoking' arguement but would urge everyone reading this to check out all the pubs in Southwater and make up there own minds...I think you have a great selection to choose from and good luck to all!

| I Actutaly live in Horsham, but my parents live in Southwater , I have never been a fan of " Chain Pub / eating places " they do offer a very "safe " menu with very little variety , but and it has been said on here, the Linnott are offering what the people want , for me and my personal vote i use the old well ,they have a large garden - great for the kids - the Old Well has got to compete with the new pub - but i believe it can and should remain a "regulars" pub with its more cosy and warm enviroment and great variety of food Tony ps im a smoker ( for now) i never smoke indoors , im not keen on the smell of stale smoke

| Fantastic place The Lintot, been there twice already. First time I went there I was stuck for choice when seeing the menus. Made my choice and the food was great. Great costumer service too. 10 out 10 in my book.

| Agreed. The Lintot is great. Smoking pubs are stuck in the past and will have to change next week anyway. T.

its your menu (15/06/2007)
the Old Well has got to compete with the new pub - but i believe it can and should remain a "regulars" pub with its more cosy and warm enviroment and great variety of foodReally??!! Cosy and warm environment? It certainly didn't have that when it was the Cock Inn! If you were not one of the usual crowd who had their own tankard behind the bar then walking into that place was like a scene from a movie when the music would stop when a 'stranger' would walk in.
