Carpenters Arms in Tandridge

Random pub visit! View was lovely, the staff lovely and good recommendation on the pork! I may have a new face roast… he had panda dunks on! Thanks my man ✌️

Amazing service, super friendly and helpful service! Sunday roast menu delish! Kids menu with good options and excellent portion size! Cozy atmosphere, nice garden area weather permitting…will come back yet again!

Great British Cuisine 👏👏👏 ❤️❤️❤️ Perfect place for a break and tasty good food, cosy atmosphere, u'll feel relaxed and u'll have a good time. ♥️♥️♥️ It is a bar with delicious meals, friendly staff, fast service, and reasonable prices. 👏👏👏 The best in the area!!!👏♥️👏♥️👏

First time visit and really enjoyed it. Food and wine excellent plus beautiful setting. Had black coconut icecream with dessert. Surprising but really scrummy

We went for lunch today, the food was good and the service was outstanding. The guy who served our table was so friendly and attentive - he made it for me, excellent hospitality :)

This was the best Sunday roast I have had for a long time. The beef was perfectly cooked, as were the vegetable. The service was friendly and professional and very efficient. We will definitely be going back here. A nice gesture was to give all the ladies a bunch of daffodils for Mother's Day! If you didn't want Roast, there were plenty of other options.

Best pie ever!!! Home made, hot, fresh veg, massive and gorgeous- no photos sorry- I ate it too quickly 😉

Stopped on the way passed and so glad we did. Lovely decor, nice beer and the food was amazing.... I mean amazing! Can't wait to go back, is tomorrow too soon!?

Lovely part of the world, great place for a post-walk drink. Didn't eat there, but the local beer is very good, despite the lack of choice. Pretty pub, loads of outdoor space, restaurant smells great and the served food looks very good. Will return.

Pricey for a pub, so the food had to be good. The £19 lasagne tasted like a ready meal unfortunately and was also very small.

Really lovely pub. Met friends here for dinner. The pub has a warm and welcoming atmosphere. The menu is varied and carers to food allergies (for which I am very grateful). Staff were very pleasant and got the mix of being attentive and not always hovering just right. And the food was really tasty. I had the salmon with a red pepper sauce which was delicious. Couldn't recommend this place enough.

Really enjoyed this place, good food and lovely surroundings. Excellent steak last night.

The owners seem to think they can turn a family friendly pub into the Fat Duck. Food decent but overpriced, £25 for a Sunday roast is madness. Style over substance.

Very nice pub. But why Titsey Brewery? Westerham is far superior product. Although nothing beats Harvey’s Best. Same happened at Limpsfield Golf Club. We’re forced to drink Titsey on tap and it’s unpleasant…

Good friendly attentive staff. Seemed well organised. Good menu choices too.

Had a wonderful evening (Burns night). Food was fantastic...catered very well for a vegetarian. Great food and service..and the atmosphere was brilliant.

A much enjoyed return visit to the Carpenters Arms for family Sunday lunch. A delicious meal - Roast beef with amazing Yorkshire puddings, tender Lamb Shanks, the best roast potatoes ever and a good selection of vegetables. The fish and chips one of us had was also declared very tasty. The service we received from Robert was top notch, he made our visit great fun and nothing was too much trouble for him. Judging by the fullness of the whole pub and restaurant, we aren't the only ones who enjoyed it. We will return as soon as we can, and thank you for hosting Ziggy - it seems dogs are happily welcomed too!

Excellent food Excellent service.

Great venue, brilliant food especially Sunday roasts, service excellent, value for money yes. We sat as a party of 12 and every meal was spot on.

Excellent food . Good service. Nice pub

Great service, food and lovely atmosphere.

Couldn’t resist the pork pie, great selection of beers as well.

the food was amazing, the waitresses were very nice and the chef was also amazing

Wonderful pub with amazing food and great beer.

Lovely looking pub with very nice staff and very hospitable as well.

Service was good - we had the head chef look after our table - so was the ideal person to ask about allergies etc! Food arrived promptly and was good. Would come back but would choose a different main (I had the sausages and mashed potato).

Nice place and food well presented but far too expensive. My fish and chips was utterly tasteless. Disappointing.

Three of us went here for lunch after a long walk. We received a friendly welcome. We had three different beers which were all excellent. Our meals were excellent, one had sea bass, two had pulled venison burger. The food was well presented and obviously cooked with considerable imagination and skill. The two ladies who looked after us were lovely and highly professional. We meet weekly at different pubs around Surrey and we all agreed this was right up there as one of the best pub lunches we’ve had. Although not cheap, you didn’t need to order any sides or extras (although there are plenty available) and actually we felt it was good value.

We had a cosy Friday afternoon late lunch as an early start to the weekend. We had an amazing cheese bacon burger, with homemade slaw and fries, followed by sticky toffee pudding, with toffee sauce and salted caramel ice cream. Decent wine list. We went for the Malbec Punto Alto 2022, Mendoza, Argentina to accompany our burgers

Arrived an hour earlier than our booking, & although very busy the staff were very accommodating, the food was absolutely superb, would definitely recommend

Great food and great service. We stopped in for an impromptu lunch after spending the morning walking in the area. Being a Saturday, we anticipated the pub would be crowded, so we called ahead first to make sure that we would be able to get a table for two and a dog. Staff were most helpful and accommodating and we were seated as soon as we arrived. The pub was indeed very busy but service was prompt and we did not have to wait too long for our food to arrive. We will definitely be making a visit again - perhaps during the week, when it's less busy.

Delightful venue and staff. Excellent menu with significant emphasis on gluten free options (v. rare !). Local ales of considerable quality. My game pie was the best pie I can recall EVER ! (and I eat a lot of pies !) The best sticky toffee pudding this side of Saturn. I can't believe I've lived so close and not been here for over forty years. Will be back much sooner.

Stumbled across this pub and restaurant by accident as it is slightly off the main road but we were so glad we did. Excellent food from the menu and very helpful and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Stopped in for lunch on the way past. Couldn't have been happier with our find, great food, friendly, helpful staff and good atmosphere on a Thursday lunchtime. Liked all the real plants and fresh flowers too.

Outstanding service. Such an incredible lunch for our large family group. Fantastic food and impeccable service from beginning to end . Thank you all so much!

The staff was lovely and very helpful, the food was excellent - exceeded our expectations! Everything was delicious and cooked with perfection - Tempura Prawns, House Burger and Fillet Of Salmon were spectacular! Best food we ever had and we know what we’re talking about as we’ve been to many restaurants in the UK and Europe. We can’t wait to come back to this amazing place and highly recommend it to everyone who wants to experience this beautiful place and taste the amazing food 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩

Fantastic food and great location

If you're gluten-free then this is the place for you. The chef has clearly made it a mission to provide really good GF food and has succeeded. Both mains and desserts can be GF and you wouldn't know the difference. There's even some GF beers from the local Westerham Brewery. On top of that, all the food is excellent, good portions, served by helpful and friendly staff. Can't fault the pub at all.

Great countryside pub with very, very good food menu. And great walks all around too. The Pork dinner was ammmmmazing. Would recommend.

Summary - Cosy gastropub Day / time - Sat eve Food - Ordered Italian bread and oil, and halloumi fries. Very nice. Noise - No music, ambient noise varied in conservatory area. Atmosphere - Cosy, very respectable. Decor - Clean and homely. Real candles. I liked it. Service - Good and prompt. Parking - We parked nearby, next to Limpsfield Common (nice walk) Price - We only got starters. Not too expensive, but expect gastro pub prices.

Fabulous local with a great community and lovely menu. Good for just a drink or a great dinner. Have had many memorable nights here

Always a delightful experience when visiting The Carpenters Arms! The staff are friendly, helpful and approachable. The selection of options on the menu is great. Would always recommend to anyone looking for a lovely atmosphere to visit this pub... will be back very soon I'm sure!

Stumbled across this amazing warm welcoming public house!

Excellent Sunday lunch sitting in the garden in the sun. Good quality food and drink and extremely efficient service.

I’ve been into this pub many times over the years as I walk my dog locally. Ever time I pop in for a quick refreshment after my walk I’m just shocked at the attitude of the staff. How does the manager get away with employing staff who have absolutely no customer service skills, not even a smile.. well probably as she has none of her own. She is rude and unfriendly and the same for her deputy I don’t think I’ve ever seen her smile once. A local pub should be inviting and welcoming. If I was the owner of this pub I’d quickly remove the management

Absolutely amazing! We had an incredible lunch at the Carpenters Arms. The staff were incredible and so helpful. One member of our group suffers from Coeliac and the team were really helpful and considerate in talking us through the menu and options available. The food was absolutely outstanding. Some of the best food I’ve ever eaten. So happy we found this pub. Will 100% be returning.

A great place to be on a sunny day , Excellent staff , Excellent food .

I have taken this route down through limpsfield on our way to tunbridge wells this past 2yrs and having seen the sign for this pub many times I finally peeled off the main road to go visit. Pleased we did as this was a great...

Just stopped for a cold pint on our walk through the countryside. Very nice spot the food that was coming out to other tables looked very good indeed and th3 staff were friendly.

Staff were brilliant. Only thing was screaming kids.

Wonderful pub lunch at the Carpenters. Wide selection of food any everything was super tasty. Very dog friendly which is brilliant

Great service and very nice food. Guinness was in decent order too. Nice vegan/vegetarian options. Highly recommended.

One off kents hidden gems situated in a small village in Oxted good parking in the car park or side off the road nice and bright inside good decor and great atmosphere staff friendly and helpful food fantastic lamb chops out of this world melt in your mouth good size beer garden About 2hrs and forty mins drive but we stayed at the b&b dkwm the road at Hurst Farm look it up you wont be disapointed we will be back

Lovely place found by happystance. Polit and courteous staff, nice facilities Good decor Food was amazing and a good choice of drinks. Will be visiting again

We stopped by for lunch in their huge garden and it was a fantastic experience - incredibly friendly and efficient service from all of the staff, really excellent food too, and in a lovely location. Really great country pub/

we chose the pub as the venue for my partners wake.The organisation was faultless, the food on the day amazing, as were the staff dealing with so many people.My partner was a chef and many people including myself commented that he would have so enjoyed...

Was recommended by my brother who visited last year. Food delicious, great location and extremely friendly and welcoming staff, especially Annabele who went out of her way to make sure our food order perfect.

Nice pub, friendly staff, but Surrey prices. Visited again, still nice staff, but even more expensive. £19 for pie and mash. So Knightsbridge prices. Friday lunchtime we were the only diners unsurprisingly. Must get hedge fund managers at weekend

Great gem found after been to Chartwell house

Great country pub with loads of parking, both indoor and outdoor seating. Extensive menu

Great food,will serve starters larger as a main .Lovely staff and not just doggie friendly but proper doggie kind 😋♥️

I really wanted to love this pub/restaurant and leave with a warm glow and a desire to return, for whilst the food served was good it was not mind boggling good for the overall cost of the meal: three starters and four main courses plus...

Visited the pub whilst out with two friends. It looks beautiful from the outside. There were three staff as we entered, none of them seemed interested in us being there. We asked if they served drinks as everywhere was laid up for lunch. We were...

This is a location .. pub that myself & family frequent on a regular basis over a number of years. Today the lunch that my wife and I order was far below the quality we expect in comparison to previous meals over the years and...

Lovely pub!! Massive outside garden + inside restaurant + outside dinner seating area. Fast service, high-quality food presented nicely and nice relaxed atmosphere. Only thing is it's quite pricey but we are post-pandemic.

Lovely pub. Great food and beer. Nice beer garden for these hot days. Lovely service today from Ben who provided great table table service for me and my friends. Lovely evening.

Charming pub with beautiful and maintained garden. Customer service was great. We were out hiking so had brought a picnic and only consumed drinks. We wished we hadn't already eaten as the atmosphere and food looked amazing.

Stopped on long walk in the woods and fields. Great for a lunch. Food good. Pricey but very good quality. Staff friendly. Oldy worldy.

Food nice but overpriced. Beautiful setting. Service on the day that we visited was awful. Rude, ignored me at the bar. I was the only person and there were 5 people behind the bar. No communication at all or smile. No checking if everything was OK with the food or if we needed sauces etc. Maybe we had an unlucky day

Really welcoming place. Excellent food. Range of Westerham beers. Lovely garden, no noise of traffic.

Great food, lovely staff, good location.

Very warm, friendly service from a lovely silver haired lady behind the bar. Perfect cappuccino thank you. We will come again. Dianne

Can only just remember it, so mustn't have been a memorable experience.

What a place! It's the dreamed oasis at the end of a nice long walk around Limpsfield Common. We set outside in the sunshine, but inside felt cozy and friendly too. It's a really quiet spot where to sit a fresh cold pint and maybe have a chat with the people at the bar, everybody looked very friendly.

Great food, nice atmosphere but Shirley is what makes this place! What an absolute legend! We were a party of 10 and she made our afternoon!

Very poor and slow service. Food & drinks are ok. Nice large garden.

Lovely Sunday lunch here with a large group of friends. Service & food was excellent and the pub was full even at 3pm so this provided a great atmosphere.

Quick service, friendly staff, and delicious roast options. I had the vegetarian butternut squash Wellington and my hubby loved the lamb roast. Definitely recommended, and it’s a minute away from natural green areas ideal to walk off the extra calories of the pudding (the crème brûlée was spectacular!) 😍

The food was really lovely and the service was spot on. Thanks.

We went for a Sunday lunch for my mum's birthday and it was such a let down. It took 50 minutes just to received our drinks. The pub was busy, but we did see the waitresses milling about. I had to go up to the...

A lovely gastro pub with lots of indoor and outdoor seating. We particularly loved the plentiful gluten free options as we are all intolerant.

Nice, friendly pub in country site and good food

The pub was in a very quaint location, quiet but in a charming position opposite a green. My partner booked us a table for dinner. The menu seemed open to all tastes too. I had the pan fried hake which was beautifully cooked with decorative...

Excellent food and good service. Very friendly and lovely location.

Very disappointed with our visit to the Carpenters Arms. Food was cold when served, took at least one hour from order to be served, when I requested a particular condiments I was told they didn't have them, but when a member of my party asked the waiter he said they're in the garden. The same waitress then went to get them, I said to her not to bother but she went out and got it and just left it in the table almost to making a point that she was busy. No attempt to say she was mistaken or a smile. Have had good visits here but today staff were generally lacking in enthusiasm and for the expensive prices we paid it was an overall poor experience

Beautiful place to eat. Friendly staff and delicious food. The food was presented most beautifully, I ordered sea bass, mashed new potatoes, spinach and a poached egg. It tasted soo good and looked even better (I just wish I had taken a photo of it now. The service was very fast and the venue welcomes well behaved dogs. If the chef is reading this review you have done a fantastic job keep it up :)

Amazing food! Would definitely come again.

Lovely restaurant and food and friendly staff ...I loved my meal but did have food envy when I saw other meals

Our local pub, so we go often. The food never disappoints, they are always accommodating for kids, allergies and special requests. But they have really outdone themselves with the mothers day menu. The food was superb, and all who had roast said it was bar none the best they've had in a pub. Service was great too!

Really good food. We keep coming back and haven't been disappointed. Last night we had the local steak and also sea bass. We cleaned our plates! Atmosphere is nice, dog friendly and a great garden for summer. Lovely location for good walking, too.

We went here with my partners family after a really lovely dog walk and were excited to be in a cosy pub in the evening. We had booked an early dinner as we walked in the afternoon before it got dark. The staff were really...

We had lunch there today. The service was excellent, as was the food. Our waiter was helpful and polite. I had booked a table, told them of our difficulties and these were all acted on. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and will return 😊

The carpenters arms is a far larger pub than one would expect from its frontage. Opposite a large area part green and part heath you find no car park, but uninterrupted roadway with no double yellow lines. Sitting on the top of a hill there are many walks from here. The common society lists route and even provides maps, but the signposts are good. So you have found a good place to start a dog walk, a ramble, or cycle. Wear boots as this is mainly farm land and can be muddy in wet weather. The pub itself has a traditional bar, a small patio looking over the common, which is all very cute and rural. The ceiling is beamed and the walls have pictures of dogs, whippets I think or maybe greyhound. To the rear you enter a large and well lit restaurant. A large bear garden with seating. Nice volumes of food on a plate. Service on a Sunday, needs to be better, we left feeling a bit ignored. There was a long delay between starter and main. We had to ask to have the table cleared, find someone to reordér drinks and then the staff started blowing out candles and clearing around us at 6pm, but not clearing our table. A shame as we had heard such good things. Will give it a second go, but it's location and charm won't make up for poor service. Could easily be a 5 star, but wasn't

We visited today in a large group of 16. We booked in advance - food was hot and ready on time and was very tasty. Everyone was very pleased _ great food and service. Would definitely recommend 👍👍👍👍

Well kept ale. Decent food and service

It was a nice bright restaurant. Service was extremely efficient. Not the cheapest Sunday lunch but good choices and really nice food. Vegetarian Wellington was one of the best I've tasted. Really nice location. Wouldn't hesitate to go back.

Great meal as usual. Prices seem higher than before but at least my stake was very good. Welcoming to family and dogs too

Food was excellent but a bit pricey

A nice setting and I believe the food is excellent judging by the faces of those who enjoyed their meals. I went there for a coffee. Capuccino could be with more milk and far more fluffy. What is definitely missing is a choice of simple cakes that could go with coffee. We had a dessert which was way too much to complement a simple cup of coffee. But the surrounding is a breath taking. Easy parking, a lot of outdoor space and tracks to walk on, if you wish so.

Looking for a place to eat central to our family group hailing rom West and East Surrey and Essex, we chanced upon the Carpenters Arms - and we are very glad we did. Seven of us and Ziggy the Rhodesian Ridgeback enjoyed a lovely lunch...
