    Booked a table for my wife for Mother's day, lovely looking pub in a nice part of Surrey, plenty of parking. On arrival staff were really friendly and welcoming, even though restaurant was busy, staff couldn't do enough for you and service was quick and efficient. All three courses came at a perfect time allowing us to digest between courses and chat. The food was excellent and we all thoroughly enjoyed our day, would definitely recommend.

    Great service and food. Quite noisy though but probably due to several large groups and where we were sat.
