| This place was pretty dire from what little I saw of it, and it has indeed now closed. The rumour I'd heard was that Sainsbury's had bought the site and are negotiating with the council to get a new supermarket built there, claiming that the town is in need of one. I would suggest quite the contrary - the fact that Dorking retains so many individual independent businesses is partly because a large supermarket chain hasn't moved in to kickstart the identikit shopping experience so many towns have now fallen to. But whatever happens, while I accept that it might've been a loss to those who regarded it as their local, the Malthouse will not be missed by many. TWG - 23 Dec 2008 12:51 |
| It was announced in the local paper that this pub would close in September as the lease has expired. Planning permission is being sought from the council for a large block of flats to be built on the site. wyndham - 17 Jul 2008 19:38 |
| Watched the football here one Sunday afternoon. Yes the pub is run down but it serves its purpose - beer and live sport. Barman was friendly. A refurbishment would much improve this place but I imagine all is on hold with the potential Sainsbury's development simon135 - 21 Jan 2007 20:41 |
| Although this pub does need a couple of touch ups, the food is definately on the up. The meals are huge and the prices are low. They have deals in food and drink all the time. At the moment it is only £2.20 for a DOUBLE shot of Vodka whereas in other pubs that is the price of a single. You can have two large meals, suchs as chicken tikka, kebabs, steak, scampi etc for £6! Thats a bargin. On various occasions there are special events where peeople (including staff) dress up. Recently there was a 911 night and a school disco night. The hours are getting later, the music is getting newer and the "naff people", as soomeone so nicely put it, are out. At the end of the day, if you want a good night out without spending too much money, the Malthouse is definately the place tp be. I gave it 8/10 due to the need for a referb. pinkkat69 - 21 Sep 2006 12:29 |
| Would agree it is annoying the pub shuts too early, needs to be later. Did not know the management had changed, thought there were a couple of new faces but hadn´t seen anyone I thought to be the Manager, would say they have actually turned it into a really dull place, having been drinking in there 10 years. It seems dingier that ever before, the food is rubbish by comparison to how it was, the music is the same (same DJ´s, actually they keep changing djs on Sat that can be really naff). It is THE place to watch sport, TOO MUCH SPORT!! A real turn off! The clientele are rougher than ever! There is never anything going on there, no events, no nothing. It was better years ago. Wouldn´t surprise me if that comment below was posted by someone who worked there! Typically pushing the cheap prices! What do cheap prices attract?? I´ll see you in Arty P´s! anonymous - 1 May 2006 14:24 |
