| The Blue Bell, Farnham |
 |
|
Well, not actually Farnham... The Blue Bell is actually in nearby Dockenfield, but why split hairs reader, when a venue is this good? Why would you do it, hm? High quality home cooking with no pretension, no bells and no whistles, off a rotating blackboard. A country pub with large array of beers, real ales and fine wines. I mean, what's not to lurve?
A copyrighted TGTG top tip dearest reader - with this little beaut, you can get 50% off selected wine at lunchtime - we don't need to tell you that you need to be over 18. Five. Zero. That's pretty good. Should you only be able to head during the evening, fret not - the food is delicious, the drink plentiful and the surroundings picturesque.

| You Must Be Stoking |
 |
|
Isn't it strange that a comedy evening with a quasi-ropey (the first and last time you'll see those two words hyphenated) pun as its name should play host to a fantastic array of comic talent? You Must Be Stoking is so-called due to the fact that The Stoke in Guildford host it, fact fans. What's that? Offers? 2 Pizzas for £10, friends.
Anyway, back to the comedy, and it's the turn of Paul Sinha to take to the stage on Wednesday 1st February - you may recognise him The Stand up Show, The Comedy Store and - brilliantly - being voted fourth off on The Weakest Link. Highly acclaimed, Paul will be sure to locate that funny bone.

| Clive Carroll at The West End Centre, Aldershot |
 |
|
Love the West End Centre, people, for they really do get some absolute gems to perform there. From top drawer comics on warm-up tours to brilliant kids shows, the old cliché of 'something for everyone' applies here. Clive Carroll, folks, is a musician, and quite a musician at that:
"Without exaggeration, Clive is quite probably the best acoustic fingerstyle guitarist in the world. His dad made him a banjo when he was still a toddler and he played and played, until eventually he had a first class degree in composition and guitar from London’s prestigious Trinity College! Since then this ebullient performer has toured the world with Tommy Emmanuel and John Renbourn, been invited by Madonna to play at her party and wowed crowds at every guitar festival going."
Bedroom six-stringers, be prepared to weep and curse and be mesmerised. Clive Carroll performs on Thursday 2nd February - click here for the info.

| Squisito, Horsell |
 |
|
Guess what it means? Well, if you are or you speak Italian, you'll know, but don't spoil it. Squisito is actually Italian for delicious, which is apt because the food at Squisito is, well... you know where we're going with this.
Boasting real Italian fare that you can take away - pizzas, pastas and lots more - Squisito also boasts pre-made, fresh meals that you can whack in the oven and claim to be yours. Awesome. What's even awesomer is that with your TGTG Offer Card you can get any 2 pastas and bottle of soft drink for £9.99. What's more, Squisito also do a whole bunch of in-house deals, including our personal favourite - £6.99 for any collected pizza. That's also awesome.
Click here to check out Squisito's menu, and get ready for some delicious, fresh Italian cuisine.
