John O'Ds Review Of Tadworth

Location

The Green, Mill Road, KT20 7TE (Off A217) - 6 miles from Reigate. 

Pavilion

Following a fire a new pavillion was opened by Alf Gover in 1993. Very "Spic and Span" - Large bar, taking up most of the lounge area. Beers - John Smith's, Badger, IPA, Fosters and Youngs. 

Changing Room

Small......Noticeably smaller than the home team's! The team kitbag should be left outside! 

Showers 

Modern system in good working order.

Tea

Buffet style....Rolls, cheese, ham, quiche, pickles - very up-market!

Nearest Pub

There are two pubs within 20 yards of each other opposite the ground on the Dorking Road. 'The Blue Anchor' (where the team meets) and 'The Dukes Head' (where the chairman drinks on his own!) Both pubs are within walking distance of the ground. (see photo at left)

Odd spot 

Very long walk (100 yards) back to the pavillion if playing on outer strip. Seems even longer if you are out for nought!!!
