Such a great bar. The staff are so lovely and chatty. The food was brilliant, proper hearty British food. It has a very cosy feel inside. My partner only popped in by chance and really happy we did.
We were told that the Sunday roasts here were sensational. I can confirm they are indeed sensational. Best pub in Surrey
This place would have got higher had it not been for the lack of understanding and compassion. We were doing a charity walk with a group of young people and this pub happened to be the half way point. It was very quiet and some of our group wanted to buy food and drink. But some had packed lunches. So we decided to sit in the garden. All but two of our group ordered some food and drink and we sat down to eat our picnics. It was at this point a member of staff came and told us that we couldn't eat our own food on the premises if we hadn't purchased anything (all but two people had). I asked if they'd make an exception as we were on a charity walk and the reply was a shrug and, "Still can't". I understand that it's a business but it would be nice if there was a bit of understanding and compassion for a group of teenagers who were giving up their time for a good cause. Credit where it's due though, I had some chips and they were delicious!
This pub is an absolutely gorgeous place, from service, to interiors. And the food was just beautiful! Typical local village pub, very cozy, lovely atmosphere. A lot of locals at the bar and dining section, very intimate. Children's roast was probably as big as adults, and may I say, best roast I've ever had!!!!
The menu was not that varied, but the food was nicely presented. We did not want to have a large meal and only had starters. The pate was nice and the chips were nice and chunky. The place is sufficiently spacious so that if people have children with them, there are other comfortable places to sit if the children are being noisy. The woman who brought us our food was diligent and did not ask loads of annoying questions. ***We attended this place again in June 2022. and it had a friendly atmosphere. The person behind the bar seemed a bit shy and was efficient in getting the drinks. It was also nice to see the lovely decorations for The Queen's Platinum Jubilee.***
