The Lucky Rover — Restaurant in London

Great local with good atmosphere. A local gem if you want a fun time out at the weekend without going to Surbiton or Kingston. New owners took over a busy pub and are very friendly. Open until late it's for me the best pub in Chessington.Has a few big TVs and a jukebox.

A lot of the older negative reviews dont hold up as it's a differnt place now. A great secret beer garden, average prices, friendly staff.

Unwelcoming, rude and very slow service. Only locals are welcome here.

The bar staff completely ignored me and it took me 10 minutes to order a drink. Even the management just sat there staring at me as if to say to leave. They prioritised all the locals and waited until everyone was served before taking my order. There was also an infestation of bar flies. Not a problem, I got the message loud and clear. First and last time at this pub. North star down the road was a lot...
