Different menu since we last visited and not nearly as nice a selection. The leek and potato soup was not great and very gloopy. Won’t be rushing back I’m afraid despite it being a lovely pub, nice ambience, with good service.

This is a real hidden jewel in Surrey. The place is tastefully decorated and feels warm and inviting. The menu is extensive enough to cover all preferences and the food is excellent-try the steak.Prices are reasonable.

Excellent service and beautiful surroundings however the food was a bit disappointing. I had a burger and it just wasn’t amazing. I love this venue though and will always go back. Maybe I’ll try something else next time.

I've marked it down slightly as there was a very poor choice of vegetarian dishes. Also, a mark down for the very expensive wines - nothing under £30 per bottle. Good food but one of the most expensive "pub" meals I have had for ages.

We will pass on your feedback to the team, In regards to our pricing we are competitively set by our company in comparison to local sites in the nearby area.
