The Happy Man
During the Victorian era, two residential buildings were transformed into a pub to cater to the workers involved in the construction of the nearby Royal Holloway College. Despite undergoing refurbishment, the pub has essentially retained its original charm, offering several cozy areas for patrons to enjoy. This establishment, once recognized as the local CAMRA Pub of the Year, has become a favorite spot for both students and locals. The pub offers a rotating selection of up to four ales, sourced both locally and nationally. Additionally, it occasionally hosts beer festivals on its heated and covered rear patio, providing a comfortable and enjoyable environment for its guests. The pub also offers a variety of games, including darts and quiz nights, adding to the overall entertainment. Food is typically available every day, ensuring that patrons can enjoy a meal along with their drinks. This pub, with its rich history and diverse offerings, continues to be a popular destination for both locals and students alike.
