Cherry Tree Inn Copthorne in Tandridge

We had a fabulous lunch and Sumiya. Served us. She was fantastic and looked after us from start to finish. It’s not just the food that’s amazing, the staff are too!

One of the best meals and service I have had in a very long time. The service from start to finish was impeccable, and the food was out of this world This coupled with a great wine choice by our waitress made for a memorable evening. Thank you All

Amazing Sunday lunch! MASSIVE portions, excellent service and lovely pub. Vegetarian roast was absolutely fantastic. We will be back!

We've been to this place before but thought I'd give it a review this time. Lots to like about it, food was really good today, sadly no steaks on a Sunday but a proper roast dinner with all the trimmings, everything was top drawer. Good service, good atmosphere, nice selection of draught beers. The place was lovely and warm when we were there too. Yes it is a little on the steep side, but personally I don't mind paying a bit more if the food is good and this place is certainly in that bracket. Everyone was very happy with everything about the place. Refreshing indeed. The only downside is that the parking is a bit tight and there's not much of it and so at busy times you may end up down the road a fair way and it's no fun hiking back in the dark along that road.

We thoroughly enjoyed the ambience, delicious food and friendly staff. We will definitely come again. We would especially like to thank Kai and Iumiya for their welcoming and accommodating service.

We really love this restaurant and eat here regularly. However on this occasion we were very disappointed. We booked a table for six for lunch mid week. The food was delicious as usual but the service and long wait for food was poor. They were very short staffed and the waiter kept saying that they were not expecting so many people for lunch. There were only two waiters on duty. We had to find the waiter to take our orders, ask him to clear the table between courses ( in fact some dirty plates were still on the table when the coffee arrived) . We had to go and find the waiter to ask him to take our desert orders. He was on his phone in the empty bar area. We felt the waiter was new and needed more training. This experience was totally different from the efficient, friendly and professional service that is usually offered in the Cherry Tree. Hopefully this was a one off experience and the usual high standard will return.

Excellent food, great service and extremely well priced. We will certainly be using the Cherry Tree again. It really did show many local places up as the food was great.

We had a meal here on a Thursday evening. The food was AMAZING! Especially the rack of ribs. We would recommend. Service was also attentive. The only thing I’d say is the drinks menu is quite boring for non alcohol drinkers. Sometimes it’s nice to...

We decided to try the cherry tree for a Sunday lunch and couldn't believe what a great place we found. We were a party of 9 and had never eaten in there before but we were all really pleased we did. First of all its...

We were visiting family in Copthorne and wanted Sunday lunch. We had been turned away at The Copthorne Hotel as the Sunday lunch had been cancelled due to lack of bookings! But we turned up at The Cherry Tree and we’re given a very warm...

Visited here bank holiday Monday for lunch. Went to the bar to order more drinks including two lime & soda’s with ice. When brought back to the table they were lime with water, returned back to the bar but they were adamant we had ordered...

Visited The Cherry Tree, near Copthorne, for a Saturday night birthday dinner. Good menu with a wide range of meals for most tastes. Service pleasant. Smart, traditional style restaurant. Will visit again soon!

Had the most amazing meal which in some respects might be deemed simple food but boy was it tasty! Love the staff here who are very welcoming, accommodating and attentive. It was a very busy evening when we were there but nothing was too much...

2 adults, 1 toddler. We came at 9am for a breakfast on a Saturday morning. We were served promptly, coffees and drinks served quickly. The had a high chair for our son, they also gave him books to read. Breakfast came quickly and they even...

Crap service would not eat here again staff are friendly but food was horrible so because of that would not return

We went as a group of friends. As usual the service was really good. The girl that has been there the longest always smiling and patient, and knowledgeable. The food is usually good if not excellent.

Went there for the first time with company friends for a lunch. We ordered various dishes for staters, main, and desert. The starters were brought within 15-20 min and was delicious. The main followed thereafter. The ribs were massive !! There is plenty of space...

We visited the Cherry Tree on Saturday lunchtime and had a lovely lunch. We decided to book it on the Sunday for the roast, but wish we hadn't. Three of us had the roast beef, and one person had the roast lamb. The roast potatoes...

Spectacular attention from the staff, very detail oriented and focused. There is a friendly and casual atmosphere, my cherry burger was fantastic. A great choice for a Friday night.

We booked a table a week in advance. On arrival we waited nearly one hour for the table to be ready. We decided to have some nibbles in the bar while waiting and they took half an hour to arrive. When the nibbles arrived we...

The food here is excellent. The roast dinner is delicious! The garden is big and child friendly. A lovely atmosphere.

We visited The Cherry Tree last week for lunch. The food was very good, the service was also good and efficient. Would definitely visit again.

Lovely place great service and lovely staff the chef Jennie did an amazing job and so did the waitress nev would high recommend and come back to

Lovely pub for lunch with friends. We sat on the terrace on a beautifully sunny day. The staff were very professional and friendly and the food was super. We all had a great time and enjoyed ourselves.

Cercando su TripAdvisor mi sono imbattuto in questo ristorante ed ho deciso di provarlo, non conoscendo la zona. Ritengo il...

cozy pub with a lovely decor, very welcoming service, simple menu, reasonably priced good food and drinks.

We had dinner at The Cherry Tree last night. The food was as good as always but the service was exceptional. I didn't get the name of the lady who was looking after the restuarant but she greeted us with a warm smile, was attentive...

We were provided a recommendation from our B&B host and she was spot on. Great selection on the menu, really nice English pub\Inn decor and good hearty food. Price was perhaps near the higher end but watch out for the Kali burger - bet you...

My wife and I visited The Cherry Tree a few days ago and I must say it is a lovely country pub but the food we had wasn’t that good, I had the ribs and to be honest they were quite tough I struggled to...

As there was 13 of us, some having expensive meals with wine whilst others a sandwich, we thought it only fair to pay individually. It wasn't until we'd all paid that we noticed a service charge of 15% had been added. A bit of a...

Lovely meal Nice restaurant Clean n tidy Not cheap but you get quality food Relaxing pub and not rushed Great parking

Had a table booked for 7.30pm and were quickly shown to our table. Took a while to get drinks ordered and then it seemed an unusual amount of time we had to wait to actually get them. We had to ask a waitress to take...

Booked a table for 3.30 At 3.40 told the waitress we had a table booked she went to find out and then ignored us as it was obvious there were no tables available ! They had also let a walk in sit down on a...

Gear themselves up for selling good steaks, although looked decent, completely dry and tasteless, and tried Sirloin and the rump, very bland and wouldn't go again but service was very good.

Having spent many hours travelling from the other side of the world we really needed a good breakfast before finishing the last step of the journey. Fortunately the Cherry Tree opens at 9am to serve what we needed. I was delighted to find a warm...

We chose The Cherry Tree for my Mother in Law’s 93rd birthday lunch as we could easily get her wheelchair from car to door, to table and to toilets (all things that have to be considered at that age!). From booking through to arrival the...

I have just returned home from having lunch at The Cherry Tree with my closest friends. The surroundings were very comfortable and we were warmly welcomed by the staff who dealt with our needs in a very efficient manner. There was a good menu choice...

Had lunch with 5 other ladies on Monday last week, food was excellent and we all enjoyed a variety of meals including fish cakes, haloumi, steak sandwich etc all were beautifully served. Our only criticism was that one of the ladies would have like a...

I'd heard that The Cherry Tree was an ideal place for the old "steak and a bottle of red" lunch format that we craved to celebrate a 50th birthday. Hard to find a great steak around this area for sure, unless you venture down the...

We visited this place for the first time. Located in Copthorne, as soon as you walk in you are greeted with smiles from all the staff. The place is ultra clean and the food menu extensive, catering for all tastes. We just had drinks, there...

Friday was busy but not over crowded Service was attentive We had mixture of lunch menu sandwiches which were very good and the beer was of very good quality well kept Well worth a visit

This was a trip down memory lane for hubby and his mate who frequented The Cherry in their misspent youth. Obviously The Cherry Tree has changed since its 'spit and sawdust' days. The menu celebrates meat and you can see the meat hanging before cooking....

Really good Sunday Lunch. Best we have come across in a good while. I had the lamb which was cooked perfectly. My husband had beef which was equally as good. Veg was delicious!! Service perfect. We will definitely return. Gets busy so def one to...

Again, same old comment, I'm a veggie, but can't really feel that I'm well catered for here, however the service and atmosphere cant be faulted.

Came here for a Sunday roast. Started with scallops with chorizo and a sweet corn salsa. This was nice, however the chorizo was rather burnt. Next was the roast, I had chicken, my other party had beef. As roasts go, it was very nice. The...

Really nice impromptu visit on a week night. Very welcoming staff and warm and cosy pub. Good menu choice and nice hearty pub food

We went as a group of girls for a pre Christmas get together at lunchtime. The food was great and the staff very good too. Lots of choice and a good choice of wine too. My only tiny criticism would be that the soup should...

Visited this pub a few weeks ago with a friend and his dogs as they advertise as dog friendly. Great reception and dogs happily sat in the lovely fireplace area whilst we had one of their breakfasts.No problems. Decided to visit again and isn't it...

We booked this restaurant for a family meal as this was central for us all to get to. There were 7 of us and we ordered from both the standard menu and the xmas menu. The food was excellent and well presented. The staff were...

Heard great things about here but certainly did not live up to it. Very small menu on Sunday and first choice was sold out. what they didn’t tell us was our second choice was also out - instead they went out and sourced more food....

Have known of this Pub for years but never really bothered to find out what it is like having had a complete makeover it really has a lovely atmosphere great ambience to make your evening special. The staff are very friendly and welcoming but most...

Lovely pub, great setting and surrounds. Comfortable and warm. Friendly staff. Had a lovely meal, took a while to come but cooked fresh. Would go back, good for small groups, not to noisy even when busy

A slightly better experience than our last visit. Waiting staff were attentive and welcoming. The Argentinian steak was heavily charred on the outside which gave the steak a burnt flavour.

What a huge burger here!!!!! This restaurant is 10minutes far from Gatwick Airport. They have local food and ale, live music on Friday. Look at the photos for tasting the burger, that is huge and quite good.

We enjoyed a light lunch there, sitting outside in the garden. Have taken friends and family there Food is good, well presented and tasty

What a shame this pub did not remain a pub offering food and has tried with a refurb to become a restaurant but failed miserably. The service is poor with waiting staff not being knowledgeable about the menu and the food is average at best...

I took some friends here as I'd had a very nice Sunday lunch a couple of weeks previously. We had a couple of drinks at the bar and the waitress serving was very helpful and offered to take some pics for us all. The meal...

After first visit a few weeks ago we recommended this restaurant to a friend who wanted to treat us to dinner. Throughly disappointed with the food. Friend had corn fed chicken which was served without chicken. When we told the waitress she then presented two...

My send off evening after a 40 year career could not have been better spent at the Cherry Tree. There was about 16 of us on a packed Tuesday evening and the food came out on time and waiting staff were brilliant! Thanks Cherry Tree,...

we came here with a friend for a catch up and a meal. I like the menu, it has a good choice. It was a quiet evening with only a few more tables taken up. Although only a few tables were taken up the waitress...

Second visit here and every bit as enjoyable as the first. We tended to stick with the Sunday roasts (chicken and beef) but look around and you’ll find a second menu board. Whilst the very pleasant staff were showing these to newcomers, it did mean...

I had been recommended the cherry tree by a work colleague as some to go for great food, and I wasn't disappointed. The food was excellent and our waitress Amy ensured that our visit was one that we intend to repeat again.

We had a very enjoyable seafood platter, which we shared, as a starter - good value. Friends had the fish and chips, which were good. Golden brown fish and ample chips. I had the pork schnitzel and it was over cooked - almost crisp.

Visited on a Saturday night. Lovely atmosphere, good beer, great wine, spectacular food. We were shown the meat before it was cooked, we got to choose the cut. We opted for the sharing steak which was cooked to perfection. Great service. Would highly reccomend for...

What a lovely restaurant with a nice atmosphere. We had the lamb roast which was without doubt the best I’ve ever had outside of our home. Probably the biggest portions we’ve had with lovely presentation that prove you can load a plate up without compromising...

Another good breakfast at the cherry tree. Friendly staff and lovely food. We had a veggie breakfast, a classic and two pancakes. We will return!

What a lovely meal. Fantastic food and the service was exceptional. My family thoroughly enjoyed our evening. Thank you.

The food and drinks were expensive. The food was ok. Service was not great - they do not give you menus instead pointing you to the blackboard. Not a great idea. We had to ask for water three times, and when it eventually came during...

Went for a family meal for my brothers birthday however we were very disappointed. The service was poor and the young girls who work there are miserable and incapable of offering any kind of friendly or personable service. I asked if they did old moot...

We were part of a large group of couples. Plenty of parking, not very busy so it wasn’t too loud. Food was good, good selection of drinks but expensive for what it was.

We thought we would have a drink on our way home and went in for the first time since the refurb. There were two barmaids behind the bar who had no idea what their job entails. They were so sour faced and totally unwelcoming. No...

Meat lovers but also something for those who do t eat meat. Nice vibe. Very pleasant staff. Food excellent. Interesting menu.

Was great now rubbish... service was a joke and food order wrong. Steak average at best and we ended up all eating at different stages of the evening as they cannot get orders right. Left without puddings as apparently it takes 20mins to dish up...

We ate here a couple of years ago to experience very overpriced food and poor service. Having heard that changes had been made we divided to give it another shot. The service was good and the place gives better value than on our last visit....

I didn’t think this pub could get any better until they started to serve breakfast, the best around, great choice and very reasonably priced. Look forward to coming back!

Looks to be recently refurbished. The food and service were fine but I felt a little overpriced for what you got. Some interesting choices on the menu as well as some classic pub standards. I will return to give it a second go.

Love the Cherry Tree - it’s a really good gastro pub. Varied menu and everything we’ve tried in our various visits has been great. Particularly recommend the pancakes from the breakfast menu!! I’ve rated as a 4 due to the baby changing facilities - the...

They had a great band playing Wien we stopped in for the drink. I did not give 5* as I have not tried the food yet. Atmosphere is lovely, drinks are tasty and reasonable price. Would be great if they threw a couple of cocktails...

We wanted to meet friends for a celebratory breakfast two weeks ago on a Sunday morning and were unsure if the pub was open at 9 am which is when we wanted to meet. I called the pub over ten times on the telephone number...

Had my 40th birthday here and staff/manager/owner could not have been more helpful from the start. Spoke with owner about what I was looking for regarding food and he suggested a cheaper option. Allocated us the outside decking area which the staff offered to help...

I had driven past the Cherry Tree loads of times since it had been refurbished and today my wife and I decided to stop for Sunday lunch. Big mistake! On entry we were accosted by a sour faced girl who told us they do things...

Went here with three business colleagues. Food was good. We had soup, chicken wings and Caesar salad to start followed by lemon sole and steaks for mains. Deserts were ice cream and apple tarte tatin. All was good with no complaints. Restaurant was fairly full....

Came here for dinner as a family of four having visited a few years ago and having a bad experience. This time is was great!. I would recommend the prawn and crab linguine & the BBQ ribs which were very tasty! They also have an...

Food always good especially their Sunday roast and staff are helpful and friendly. We visited at lunchtime on Friday 13th and I had the Scallops and liver and bacon with bubble and squeak. My husband had the homemade soup and cherry burger - both meals...

Is my best choice when i'm in the area. Nice beers and wines, good steeks and gorgeus desserts. Staff is nice and help you on the menu choice. Really recomended

A lunch time visit with two friends. A busy lunch time with the restaurant at least 50% full. Only three front of house staff, of whom two looked to be about 18. They in turn spent a fair amount of time chatting between themselves. The...

Went for a lunch time meal with our neighbours. Couldn't fault food or service. I am vegetarian and was happy with the choice. One thing that really puzzles me though is the baby changing facilities. I was with my 15 month old granddaughter and used...

Visited here once a while ago, great atmosphere and lovely food. Would love to come again in the summer with my dogs in the garden.

Excellent good fiodcand service. The ribs are so big they have their own.special plate The California burger was two tasty quater pounders in one bun. Won't need to eat for a few days. Would highly recommend

My husband & friend ordered steak it was very salty my friend could not eat hers the waiter asked if she would like another one but it would take some time she said no & thought she would just get a fresh salad he returned...

Copthorne is a large village situated close to Gatwick airport and this restaurant is known for its steaks. The special this night was ribeye and it was lovely. The staff were smiling and friendly too.. We will return

Very nice feel to the cherry tree, staff are always friendly and informative if you like a steak this is the place to come,they have there very own butchery window where you can choose which air dried steak you want. Can get extremely busy Friday/Saturday...

We had Sunday lunch here for 18 of us to celebrate a big birthday. The service was very good and the food was also good. The portions sizes were ok but could have been more generous. I had the lamb which although tender, had quite...

Been here several times a good village pub but the noise was very loud that we had trouble talking to each other Sunday roast ok but a bit expensive there are better eating places nearby in our opinion and a pity they can’t put hot...

We eat here all the time, two or three times a month and have just noticed the cost of soft drinks. Our 13 year old had 2.5 pints of blackcurrant and soda and we were charged £10.50!!! That’s crazy. We’ll still eat at the Cherry...

Sunday lunch offered a choice of three roasts, all served with Yorkshire puddings and vegetables. The meat was tender but quite small portions but the Yorkshire puddings were huge, very thick and soggy. The vegetables were OK. But it was all served on cold plates...

Visited for Valentine’s Day last year and there were several items missing off the menu, and beer was flat. Visited again a couple of days ago and ordered a mixed grill with the steak as medium rare. Pretty much every item on the mixed grill...

We have been great supporters of The Cherry Tree and it’s sister pub The Dragon, both of which have the same menu. We therefore booked two dinners on following nights, one for family and one for friends. The first night, my wife’s birthday, was a...

Great night - all enjoyed our meals with no complaints - the lamb and the prawn linguini was very tasty and great New York cheesecake. Staff were very attentive even on a busy night .

Called without booking but got a table for two. Good friendly customer service if a little slow at times. Very sticky menu with food stains. Why don’t restauraunts laminate their menus? Good menu choice. We don’t like food served on slates food gets cold very...
