Botley Hill Farmhouse in Tandridge

Warm and cosy. Great food. Had Sunday lunch here before, which was very tasty and not shy on the portions. This time we dined on a Saturday evening. Dishes included,to start, fishcakes,arancini and soup of the day. Mains, homemade burger, homemade pie, catch of the day, all with plenty of sides. Everyone throughly enjoyed what they ate, and again portions more than ample. Good selection of local drinks. Service was very polite and attentive. Will be dining here again and would recommend.

This was lovely! Our servers were excellent, especially the young lady who served us the majority of the time.

Sunday Roast is disappointing overpriced . Staff are very friendly, lovely surroundings

Been here three times recently, Caroline was our server on two occasions who was quite attentive, hence leaving a good tip even though service charge was already added to bill. We just visited again on Saturday 31 April 2022 and Ollie was our server…we left him a tip even though he wasn’t particularly attentive but hopefully he’ll remember to check guests have drinks, water etc. The atmosphere here is great and the food generally pretty good. I definitely recommend the fish cakes for starters…absolutely gorgeous and the salad it came with was super fresh and the salad dressing was really nice (and I’m not normally a salad person). My husband had the ribs which he said were lovely. Think the tables could do with a really good clean…ours was a little sticky. Update on 23 January 2023: original review was four stars but now changed to one star. Went to lunch there today with my husband, no heating so we had to eat lunch in the cold (and it’s a very cold day today)…I felt a couple of the radiators and they were stone cold. Mentioned it to the server and she said “well it IS a very old building”! Also lots of the diners had brought their dogs with them and the woman on the table next to us had two dogs which sat and stared at us throughout our main course while she talked loudly and non-stop to the person with her. Really awful dining experience and I doubt I will ever return.

I love going to this place but the chicken burger was very dried out this time unfortunately

Best Sunday Roast! The pork was amazing as was the gravy, veg & potatoes. Will definitely be back

A group of us cyclist,had hot drink. The staff are friendly. Great view to look across the countryside.

There was some mixup with our booking. They couldn't find us on the system, however, the staff went above and beyond to make sure we got a table. Great service and amazing food. Will definitely be back. Thank you

Great food, great atmosphere, service was great but just a shame it closed at 10pm

Sensational wedding venue. The staff are fantastic too.

Awesome location and ambience let down by level of service. The staff acted to be busier than the place actually was. It was difficult to get someone to take order and then it was a good 30 mins wait to get the food. Food was good though.

Good views especially during summer

Excellent food, great location, and friendly & helpful staff.

Great food, great staff and great views!

Nice old pub, out in the sticks of Surrey. Pretty good food, decent portions, fresh ingredients. Not half bad.

It’s really good, authentic country inn

We had a wonderful Sunday roast while sitting outside, enjoying the beautiful views of the fields. The food was not only delicious but also complemented by the friendly and attentive service. The menu offers a great variety of options, catering to all tastes, which makes it even more appealing. This place is quickly becoming one of our favorite spots

Love the place, and food is amazing

Stopped by today for Sunday lunch and could not have had a better experience. A friendly and helpful welcome, wonderful service throughout and the food was excellent. (Best Sunday Roast I've had In a very long time). Will definitely make a return visit soon and would highly recommend it to anyone else.

A very tasty Sunday roast. It was an extremely busy sunny afternoon with tables full inside and out, but the sevice and quality were still excellent.

We attended the evening event of a wedding so didn't really experience the food or the service, but the setting and facilities were top notch.

Magic restaurant inside the M25 😎👍🥂

One of the best pies I've had. The service is great and the pub is stunning.

I frequent here alot as its local and great food, service & atmosphere. In the past it's been up and down on the food quality front but in the recent couple of years it's been great!

Just popped in for one drink. A lovely atmosphere on a Saturday afternoon. Lovely view outside with a brilliant sunset on it's way. A bit windy so we came inside. Please sort out your toilets for the ladies!

Beautiful place. Good food and an outstanding service. Amazing views too

Brought my friend visiting from Sweden here for dinner on a Saturday! Food was really nice, I had lamb which was incredible and my friend had the vegetarian mushroom burger however she thought it was rather bland unfortunately! Service was good until we’d had our food, after that there was no one at our section to ask if we wanted dessert for a long time and when they did arrive it was almost like they were shocked we wanted dessert but we had it, it was lovely and then to the pay situation, they cleared the table after the dessert and then we waited for someone to come with the bill for 45 min before we managed to get someone’s attention so I’m pleased with the experience but I’m a bit disappointed with the attention after the food was given if that makes sense?

Great gastro pub. Service is always quick. Wedding venue as well hence the quality food offering. Well priced for what you get as always generous portions

Outstanding service, lovely pub with beautiful garden, good food, huge portions.

A cute olde worlde public house with a great garden, tea room, barns and superb views over green farmlands.

What a beautiful setting for a drink/meal. It was lovely weather mind & the sunset was spectacular! We went for a drink which turned into a meal but was close to Closing the kitchen. The friendly staff accommodated us & we sat outside & had a beautifully cooked steak whilst taking in the lowering sun. It’s easy access for wheelchairs, large car park & there’s a very good sized garden for children to play in. They also allow dogs on leads. Would highly recommend this pub.

What an amazing venue 😍, if you're looking for a venue with view this is the place xxx. Amazing

Very disappointing first visit to Botley Hill. After the third attempt to get a pint of beer that didn't have a lot of sediment in the bottom we gave up and went home. Under no circumstances would we ever consider going here for a drink again and caution other drinkers to pay close attention to their pints and consider visiting a more reliable venue.

Delicious and the staff always helpful, we had a very nice tuna toastie, dessert cafe, and hot drinks - fabulous!

Great place to grab a bite to eat. Very tasty, great service, and stunning views. I'll most definitely come back here

Lovely Saturday evening meal. All the food was delicious. Tasty local beer. Fast friendly service

Smashing experience ! We cycle through this every other week and always wanted to go in for some food and drink. Location - Can't get any better than the view of the valleys. Seating - Nice indoor and outdoor seating available. Staff/Family - Top class service. Food - Quality and well cooked. Price - As much as you will find from an independent pub doing more with local produce. Parking - Ample of space for cars, motor bikes , bicycles etc.

Haven’t been here for a few years but went on Friday with family and had a really good meal. Son enjoyed his duck, daughter in law her risotto, my wife a kebab with ras el hanout and I had probably the best fish and chips I’ve had for a very very long time.. Generous portion, perfectly cooked and the lightest batter ever. Service was a little slow as they were very busy but very friendly and even when I was unhappy with the wine it was exchanged with no issue. Great customer service and we will be back.

Very busy for a Friday lunchtime but the service was excellent and the food was delicious

Always my top recommendation for anyone looking for a good local restaurant in the South Croydon area. Nothing to fault - great food, friendly staff, fair prices, easy booking system for reservations. Would recommend you visit during sunset time, or when its sunny, so you can enjoy a drink in their garden with beautiful views (+ sheep if you are lucky!). Very dog friendly too. Recommend the Caesar salad and Sunday roast.

Food was great and the view spectacular..will return

Lovely place for coffee and cake. Staff excellent as usual. Fantastic cake!

Had my sons wedding here, and they were great , the venue is amazing

We were a party of 9 celebrating a 50th birthday. Our server couldn’t have been more helpful, going above and beyond.

Great 16th century country pub. With great views

What a great little gem of a pub in woldingham area. A def must for beer garden lovers and those with kids. Sheep were great to see.

Had a great visit very quick service, good pub food

Lovely place for a pub meal, all the staff are very friendly, food is wonderful and there are gluten-free options.

Very historic venue, but as the plethora of signs say: "Mind your head"! Lovely location in a rural spot, yet close to Oxted, Limpsfield, Westerham, Caterham, Croydon & Warlingham. Plenty of car parking spaces, and if the weather is kind, some great outdoor seating. We had some pleasant meals here whilst celebrating a birthday in the family.

My friends and I visited at lunchtime. I would recommend you reserve a table, as it was busy around 2.30 pm.i had the House 8oz burger, chips, and slaw. Chips were chunky, and overall, it was very filling. My friend had a beautiful homemade pie which was packed with meat and sat on a bed of mashed potato and vegetables plus a little pot of gravy. Another ordered the lamb but unfortunately, it was quite fatty and chewy. Great options of deserts available too. The pub has plenty of seats outside, some with umbrellas and great views with sheep grazing just a stone throw away. I would definitely visit here again. Service was great!

unique place just outside Purley, but feels like 500 miles from the suburbs.

Just popped here for a quick drink it was lovley will head back for food sometime . The views are lush would recommend going on a sunny day to sit outside

Ordered the lamb rump and the wife ordered the caesar salad. The lamb was so tasty, so succulent and melted in my mouth. The caesar salad was also very tasty but the star of the show was def the lamb!

Botley Hill Farm House had been on our list for some time. We went for my mums birthday. It wasn't particularly busy when we went. Service was very slow, waitress was polite but a bit maybe awkward? Food was average. We left not amazed and wouldn't particularly return.

Nice spot but pricey, got charged £2.50 for two slices of extra bread.

First time at this place not sure yet but we'll go back

Wonderful place with stunning views

My wife had a pasta dish, but told me there was too much salt in it. I ordered a Chardonnay with lemonade and ice, but it tasted really bitter and horrible. I then ordered her a Rose and it tasted again horrible and bitter! Either the wines is too young or it's cheap wine. We are a bit disappointed tbh. My wife has eaten here before and no problems. Tonight it's very much the opposite. She'll only have soft drinks next time, quality of wines are no good.

Very old pub/restaurant set in beautiful country side. Food was OK typical, Sunday lunch. Staff were very friendly and helpful

I had lunch here by myself. George the waiter took very good care of me. I asked to sit by the window and accidentally took someone's table! I gifted them my starter of bread & oil! The staff are so friendly, the place is absolutely dreamy and sits with the most spectacular views. I had asparagus with poached egg and hollandaise sauce with a Parmesan crisp with sweet potato fries and garlic mayo.

Great dinner for my gfs 50th. Faultless

Nice lunch, real ale was at end of barrel. But staff noticed that anc changed it for another... well done good customer service 👏

Best Sunday Roast ever. Superbly presented and incredible tasty. Succulent meat and a real Yorkshire pudding. Great atmosphere and good service. Jack was especially welcoming and friendly. We been several times and thought it deserved a mention.

not a friendly place would not return, sat at a table just for a drink and got shouted at ! this is reserved but no reserve sign was on the table . Was going to check it out for my company party but unfortunately I will look elsewhere .

Always visit the tea room here when on a bike ride and the cakes are excellent.

What a lovely pub, staff couldn't do enough to help. Lunch was lovely,a homely atmosphere. Brilliant 👏

We must have caught them on a bad day. A group of us visited the coffee shop. One of the group ordered 3 snacks and drinks. Only part of the order arrived. Forty minutes later, we queried, and it had been forgotten. When the food did eventually arrive, the order was wrong. Coffee and hot cross bun over £6.

Fab roast. Delicious food. Could have eaten about 5 deserts off the menu!

Amazing atmosphere and fantastic food! Our first option to go in our happy days:)

Food was amasing! Super tastey! I will definitly come back for more! Lovley scenery

Great food but a little pricey.

Good service and atmosphere and the food was good too. I'll avoid the benches next time- they are uncomfortable!

Lovely cosy country pub. Coffee was tasty, Sunday breakfast looked good. Hope you go back for a proper meal

Fabulous place for our classic car meet

Sunday lunch at Botley Hill has become a bit of a treat for the family so it was doubly disappointing today to experience a significant drop in food quality and quantity! The Sunday beef Roast was £24 and all we got was a single small roast potato cut in two halves and two thin slices of beef! Not really an honest Sunday Roast! The chips that were served with fish and chips were not cooked well! Burnt on outside and hard on inside! Will not be rushing back! Don’t mind paying a high price but it has to be good value! I don’t like to be mocked!!

A lovely location over looking some Kent countryside the food is good and the customer service is friendly and welcoming

It's very rare for a restaurant to live up to its own web site and advertising but this one surpassed itself. The food would grace any restaurant anywhere perfectly cooked,flavoured and presented. The staff and service are simply perfect. The setting is amazing as is the old world cosy atmosphere,once you're inside you won't want to leave. All in all this is a rare gem.

Love meal, fill menu, great atmosphere.

It's so good, it's best to book. Easy parking, a warm welcome, excellent service and pets are also encouraged.

Good sized portions. Dog-friendly.

Service was good, Roast beef was a bit meh, gravy like syrup and rest of it was just lacking.

Excellent all round. Lovely mushroom risotto and chocolate brownie.

Gastro pub. High end of the market.

Fabulous meal, staff, and brilliant atmosphere. Highly recommend.

Such a cosy pub with excellent food. The service was friendly and quick too. Get the sausages and mash!

Great tea rooms, good coffee & cakes served by friendly staff.

Afternoon Tea in the tea rooms adjoined to the main building. Coffee - decent aroma and strength Tea - a fine brew We had three cakes between two of us - vanilla, raspberry & coconut and coffee & walnut cake. All homemade and very good nice. Staff - lovely !

We went there for a Christmas get together. The food is always good and it has a good atmosphere to the place. The staff are helpful but also fun.

They have what is now an extensive menu. I could have happily chosen ten items. The execution was fine rather than excellent, but quite nicely presented. Service was good and it is a nice warm atmosphere

If you have a mix heritage family do not attend this place!! This is the second time I have experience what can only be the describe as blatent racism which seems to a very common theme at the Botley Hill Farmhouse. My 6 year daughter was verbally abused and repeatedly shouted at on xmas day by a customer and her husband for watching a santa video on my phone whilst waiting for our Christmas Dinner!! My daughter was in floods of tears on Christmas day because of these ignorant, disgraceful,uneducated racist people. Grown adults have no right to shout, make racist comments nor make any physical contact with other peoples children but it seems like the Botley think this behaviour from their customers is acceptable. We are absolutely disgraced at the way this matter was dealt with and how despite seeing what was going on staff appeared to think this was acceptable. Racism has no place in society and your pub is not exempt. The attitudes in this place toward mixed heritage families is like something out of the 1800s. To top it off food was tasteless normally the food is okay here but not today. It was not worth anywhere near the price of £120 a head. Unless you want your family to be discriminated against by the local drunks and for staff to stand by and think this is okay avoid this place. In response to your response: Firstly we have always been fully aware these customers were friends of yours that was always very clear to us. I feel like it’s taken you a few days to try to “collaborate” a response and paint a very different picture that is far from the truth. Instead of contacting me to apologise for the horrific prejudice, aggressive and intimidatory behaviour myself and my family experienced at your “establishment” I feel you appear to be more interested in trying to cover up the truth, defend yours and indeed your “friends/customers” reputation and behaviour towards children and indeed adults– this is further concerning. No care has been shown about the upset caused to my children and my family on Christmas Day at your “establishment” this in itself speaks volumes. You say you have contacted everyone – I find this very interesting as you have not contacted myself nor any members of my family - I feel that this is further discrimination. Your “friends/ customers” were not seated at an adjourning table as I feel you conveniently appear to wrongly allege; they were sat in a separate room from us. Your friends/ customers approached our table from a table in another room on 4 separate occasions and engaged in unlawful behaviour towards both children and adults on Xmas day - you were fully aware of this as I informed you and asked for you to please move them away from my children and my family on a number of occasions as they kept repeatedly coming over to our table behaving in this horrific manner. Feel free to consult your legal advisors but as well as quoting the truth I am also entitled to freedom of opinion and expression unless of course you are further trying to discriminate against me and think for some reason that I am not? I will not be intimidated, threatened nor silenced by your “establishment.” Sadly it appears you are not prepared to be transparent nor accountable however if you do take something from this for the sake of other families, no matter their heritage, please do not allow anyone to treat people (especially young children) in this manner. I would never ever want any other family to experience the discrimination, profiling, aggression and intimidation that we did. When you seek your legal advice i feel it may be wise to also ask them to explain your obligations as a business under GDPR legislation and the rights of data subjects too. Please feel free to have your legal advisors contact me and I will pass them onto my Barrister

Always a pleasure coming here. Book in advance if you can as it's very popular and might be hard to turn up and get a table without a booking. The sunsets are to die for and we've always had good service.

A wonderful, characterful old farmhouse in the country with a spacious outdoor area, many small rooms and niches inside, tastefully decorated, an old wood stove underlines the ambience. A small menu that leaves nothing to be desired and you know that it is freshly prepared. Very attentive friendly staff. A wonderful stay that you would like to repeat.

Great farmhouse restaurant. Great portion size. Varied menu. Something for everyone. King prawn and chorizo starter just the right amount of chilli. Cooked just right Slow roast shin of beef tagliatelle. Beef was melt in mouth. Lovely. Very friendly relaxed service. Very low ceilings so mind your heads. Really nice setting. Plenty of parking.

We were driving past and decided to drop in for some tea and a bite to eat. Everything we tried was good and the staff was lovely too. Will be going back again soon.

A very lovely place for a coffee & cake. Awesome and friendly staff, big shout out to the ladies at the farmhouse. It's awesome how they have used an old barn and turned it into a small coffee and breakfast place. We got an almond croissant, coffee & tea.

Fantastic pub. Best food I have had in a very long time when eating out. I will certainly be back very soon. The pie of the day was delicious!

Cute little café outside the pub ,pretty spot to stop for coffee

Was here for a wedding .... Great place which absolutely is focused on great wedding service... loved it as did the Bride, Groom and their families. Gorgeous setting in the countryside

Staff were great, service attentive without being obtrusive.. Decor is wonderful. The food was lovely

So pleased we found this place on Google maps. Had lunch in the Sheep Shed which was cosy with a log burner in the corner. Delicious toasted sandwiches and coffee. Had to go to the outdoor space afterwards to see the beautiful views over the hills. Won’t take much persuading to come back and maybe try the pub next time.
