Crown & Pepper in Tandridge

Total Disappointment!!!! We have eaten at Caterham a number of times and always been satisfied. But today, We were served the worst Chili Paneer we have ever had. It was so vinegary and so firm. It was as if it was microwaved. We highlighted this to the manager and was told the recipe had changed. The food isn’t consistent at all. Definitely will not be going there or ordering any takeaways either. Not acceptable as it was not taken off the bill, considering how much you are paying. Don’t waste your money

Do not eat In this Pub it’s Absolutely awful And Don’t Try to Complain Because They Will Not Listen All he said was there food was fantastic Please don’t Try It?????

It was very busy, they need more than one staff serving as that was a lot for her, part from understaffed, the food was amazing me and my mate ethan had and the portion where great and good deal if your going to the miller center and staff where friendly

Great food and customer service. Me and my mate enjoyed the food and drinks!

Really disappointed. I have been wanting to try this place as have heard good reviews from word of mouth. Unfortunatly I have no idea what the hype was about. First impressions were great. Atmosphere was lovely and relaxing, it was lunchtime and was very quite. Lovely friendly service and the lady seating us went above and beyond helping and making sure we felt comfortable and can't fault her for a moment. However unfortunately great service isn't enough to make up for the food. We order a mixture but mainly chinese dishes. It went downhill the second the prawn crackers came out they were stale. Food came out quickly which was nice but a bit too quick. Chow mein was dry stale and almost seemed days old and just heated slightly. Flavours were either too bland or too seasoned meaning it wasn't enjoyable. Meat wasn't very good qaulity. Beef was chewy and tastes reheated and chicken was soft squishy and very strange texture none of us felt comfortable eating it. Rice was cold with a strange taste. Spring rolls were lovely and crispy on the outside but the inside was mushy and flavourless. Nearly £100 for 2 people and really it's was only just edible. Won't be returning.

Great experience will be here again next week. Food, vibes and location is top tier.

Wow wow wow and wow. The food was delicious, the noodles, the rice, the black bean sauce…. Everything was so tasty. And shoutout to Damian, he is a legend!

Amazing service from Damian at the bar and a wonderful chef who had superb control of flavours across the Chinese menu available here. If you can’t come in, do make sure you order for collection or delivery for a taste of real happiness haha

Food was poor quality and so expensive! Food seemed microwaved and tasted greasy won’t be ordering from then again

The BBQ ribs even though baby ones had loads of meat on them which was excellent. The chicken fried rice was very tasty, lots of chicken, not to salty, very enjoyable. Nice delivery drivery. Great service

Hot fresh correct order and early

Always delicious generous portions

love the Chinese food at Crown & Pepper !

Went in for a quick drink, found an empty table, not reserved and not set with cutlery for dinner. After 10 minutes the most rude, unprofessional, obnoxious man I have ever had the misfortune to deal with came over and in a very load and aggressive voice said "You need to move, you cant just come in here and sit down move now" My wife then tried to respond but he just talked over her refusing to listen. He then said he needed the table as it was in the restaurant (there is no indication the pub has any segregation for dining) but there were plenty of tables at the from of the pub. I agreed to move if he found us a table elsewhere. WE got up to follow him to the front but he went back behind the bar and ignored us. WE then started to speak to one of the waiting staff who agreed to help but he then returned and instructed her to go and deal with something else without even acknowledging us or the fact he had interrupted the conversation. We will never use this venue again and will share with everyone we know and can reach out to how unbelievably poor our experience was and I cannot believe such a rude and unpleasant individual can be working in hospitality! If your in Caterham do yourself a favour walk part the Crown and Pepper and into the William Garland instead

A very nice meal as usual. Would certainly use again.

We had a great time today for a group of 10 of us for both drinks and dinner.Food was great and service top notch. We meet up every month for a catch up and drinks, but glad we booked a meal as well as great value for what we got.. Thanks to all the team..

We always order from here, food is very good and delivery is either on time or early!

Food wasn’t great. I love this restaurant. But the sweet and sour chicken was like jelly and handful of ribs terrible. Also korma was so spicy could not eat it

I hit the phone restaurant icon but it didn’t link to their number. I found this on the website. They never answered. Three times! I then drove to the restaurant to get my order. It took staff fifteen minutes to see me and discover what happened. Only to find t driver was out there delivering my food. Luckily I caught him at the front door. Food was tepid!

Devastating service today 19/11/2024 My son was scheduled in for an op tomorrow and I wanted him to have a great meal before fasting. I ordered through Uber. Crown and Pepper had the order waiting on the counter for ages and between themselves and Uber - couldn’t communicate and get the order picked up, cancelled or refunded for ages. No accountability from either. Had to cancel with such a disappointing outcome, poor service and lack of empathy. This is where compensation would’ve been a human thing to do. It’s just food at the end of day but it would’ve made my son’s evening. Thanks for nothing.

Great atmosphere. We went on Halloween. Great night and friendly people. Staff were good

Always great food delivered hot and on time. Great menu.

Wide selection - veg/meat & Indian/chinese - perfect for a broad range of tastes.

Excellent food and a really good variety.

Always so quick and the food is always amazing.

Good food, very quick delivery. The driver was an absolute legend, for some reason Just Eat messes up my address from time-to-time? But the driver remembered me and my address and rang to confirm, I was very grateful. Thanks!

As ever, excellent quality food, delivered on time with a smile! Thanks

I always enjoy the chinese food from here. Best bbq spare ribs from anywhere that I've had them. Generous amounts of meat/prawns in the dishes that we had. Driver even found the address okay though it isn't the easiest to find in the dark in a poorly lit road where houses have names rather than numbers, and was earlier than the estimated delivery time. Definitely worth the extra money.

I was absolutely starving and the food magically appeared at the door. Very tasty, and enjoyable, the BBQ ribs are good! Nice driver good service

This resturaunt has the best asian fusion menu in a sit-down resturaunt I have ever eaten. The range of choices, quality of preperation, and especially the signature 'Salt and Chilli' options blow any competition out of the water. Now i'll caveat this as we probably aren't the typical customers here. My family is all vegan, and we have an allergy sufferer in the group, so we are definitely what you'd call "Picky". We all have fairly unusual taste, and like things very very spicy (by british standards). We don't seat at the bar, which seems to be a really big draw, with large groups often in to watch the footy. If anything, for us the fact this place is a busy sports bar is a mark down for atmosphere. It is noisy, and the music can be loud. But when the food comes out? You will not be complaining.

I would normally give 10/10 for Crown and Pepper as the food is lovely and service really good. Unfortunately on this occasion we did not receive “something extra for ordering over £35” and the beef with mushrooms contained no mushrooms!!!!

This is the third time of ordering. My husband absolutely loves the food, but after trying 3 different things, it just leaves me underwhelmed sadly.

Delivered on time. Food hot and delicious.

Very disappointing with the meal which was delivered. The chicken tikka masala was absolutely inedible, spicy, and so salty that it made us feel nauseous. unfortunately this was the first time trying this place and will now also be the last.

I was very impressed with the driver, he rang me to clarify my address and arrived within 15 mins. The food was great, very happy with the service!

The food is amazing the staff very friendly and extremely efficient can not fault the waiting staff had a smile on the faces and were run of their feet , our only criticism is that we found out the waiting don't get paid any of the service charge , to the manager you need to rectif

Always delicious food. I always enjoy the bbq spare ribs. Very meaty and chunky compared to what is served in other places. Impressive to have full size prawns in the special fried rice too. Order was ready for collection right to the minute as well.

The food was very good. The delivery driver was a nice guy.

First time visiting here and great food friendly staff lovely atmosphere definitely coming back

Food was absolutely terrible yesterday. Use to like going to crown and pepper but this has put me off. Potions recieved on the takeaway were half containers and overcooked and dry. The food was recooked and horrible. Will not be going back.

Early, very polite and food was lovely. Definitely prefer again

We had a great dining experience at the crown and pepper in Caterham and the staff were very friendly and made the evening great would highly reccomend

Really good food and drinks and very fairly priced

Love this place,brilliant food and service,love the fact they have the sports on too

Excellent food, pleasant staff and friendly atmosphere. Great owner and great regulars. Highly recommend

it was completed as delivered but not actually delivered for another 10 minutes

Chicken Fried Rice was yum, not too salty with good amount of chicken and egg. The BBQ Chicken Nuggets were really naughty, so good, I wanted more, I should have ordered more! The food turned up nice and hot, I will definitely be ordering that again.

Always a great meal and very pleasant staff

Service great people helpful and friendly. Did not but definitely will

Sadly gone very done hill for food and general customer service was incredibly poor when a friend in the group had an allergy. Its a shame as we had many good experiences in the past but won’t be returning now - so many options in Caterham so best to go elsewhere

Lovley food great service would recomend

Pricey for what it was. Tikka masala was a bit salty, naan was middling.

our food was sub standard. the chicken was rubbery and the special fried rice was awful. It cost a small fortune and all in all was a disappointment 😠😠

Great place for either a bit of food or a cocktail the guys are fully equipped for any occasion.

Great food, the best Chicken Methi Curry, goes down well with one of their cocktails. Definitely worth a visit. I'll certainly be going back.

waiting for over an hour still no food

Great night out! Would definitely come back

First night out as a group of mums. Whole staff team were extremely friendly, couldn’t do more for us and food was brilliant. Really comfortable vibes for a nice evening out. Will definitely be back.

Lovely food, not too busy. Good bar. Very good service.

Food was okay. The service staff were nice. However, I asked if they could accomodate for a paneer tikka roll .. they said no. We asked for some butter for the Tandoori Roti.. and were refused. The reason was it was strict policy not to make any changes from the menu. A small adjustment like this could have been made, especially when they offer roti with butter. I think it's shame that this small request could not be accommodated. Just seemed a bit unnecessary.

Food is not at all good. The sauces are a nightmare. Not ever again.

Bit disappointed tonight. The duck was cold, the pancakes were rock hard like crisps. The onion Bharji’s were horrid, more like pakoras and very over cooked and tough. Barely any salad to go with the cold duck as well. It’s only a bit of cucumber and spring onion after all and at a cost of £15.45 a portion not impressed with it at all.

The food was not time at all. Especially the chicken tikka masala was really spicy and sour

I only popped in for a beer. Very nice.

I ordered from here off of deliveroo and it is probably some of the worst food I’ve ever had in my life. I ordered the tandoori prawns, vegetable biryani and fried okra. The only thing that was even remotely edible in this order were the prawns, other than that, everything else tasted awful. I can’t even describe how bad this food tasted, I literally felt nauseous after eating it and I literally could not finish it at all, It tasted sickly. They should be taken off of deliveroo

Always on time and great tasting

Fantastic food and service nice bar and lounge area have had takeaway and eaten multiple times with the restaurant and have not got a single bad word to say food is very tasty portions are good and I have never been left hungry, staff are always attentive and more than willing to help and always smiling. If you like Indian and you like Chinese or you just want a place to drink this is your place.

Great place to eat with the family. We had ages ranging from 6 to 73 and everything in between. Huge choice on the menu meant everyone found something they liked. The food was delicious, hot and portions were very generous. Friendly staff, good atmosphere and reasonable priced drinks. Will certainly be recommending to friends and hope to be visiting again soon.

Delicious food, but exactly an hour late so didn’t arrive until 9.45pm !

I haven't ordered from Crown and Pepper for a while, but like the fact they do a mix of cuisines and I really fancied a few bits. My order arrived 15 mins early and was piping hot. The delivery driver was a polite and friendly bloke. The food was tasty, I still have leftovers for lunch tomorrow!

Came to watch football dinner and drinks so looked after by shivanij everyone made us so welcome Great service friendly faces and fantastic service

Crispy beef wasn’t crispy enough but sauces were lovely

Went with a big gang for lunch... amazing place to watch matches and have good Indian food. I liked the service by staff who looked after us. Considering we had kids and adults, they did a good job of keeping all happy.

Great food, very helpful and friendly staff

Hard rice and fatty ingredients 👎

The food was late and arrived cold

The food was excellent, and great value for money. Will definitely be ordering from them again.

Ordered takeaway , was very poor , seems like everything had been reheated. Wouldn't order again .

I went with a friend and two babies for lunch. The chicken wrap was stale, dry and generally unpleasant. What was more unpleasant was the bald man who works behind the bar. A friend of mine forgot to pick up their child’s nappy bag and the man berated her, giving us filthy looks and shaking his head. It was completely unnecessary behaviour and not how you treat people, let alone paying customers! I will be formally complaining.

Food tasted pre cooked and reheated. But service was amazing!!

Great find . Lunch offer is excellent value and very filling . Lovely staff too. Photo of the wrap

Good timing for delivery, food came hot and was tasty.

Tasty Indo Chinese, 2nd time ordering from the Just Eat app! But definitely will go down for a visit.

Been here a few times for drinks . It's a big place with comfortable and spacious seating . Very clean restaurant and toilets . Been twice now for lunch . Fabulous deal . £15 for two . I totally recommend the paneer curry and the amazing paneer wrap it was so lovely with a fiery dip on the side . Staff here are lovely too

Visited February 10th for quick bite before night out. Ordered drinks at the bar and enquired about food, the guy who served us was very helpful and friendly, invited us to take a table and brought the drinks over. We ordered some Chinese bits off the excellent menu. Food was fantastic, the service was impeccable.. Would highly recommend this as a place to go, great atmosphere, brilliant all round.. 10 out of 10...

Always delicious, piping hot food delivered by friendly drivers. My favourite takeaway.

Food was excellent as always and delivered very quickly! Amazing service, highly recommended.

Had a great night catching up with friends.

Fast delivery, friendly driver and generous portions. Disappointed by food: chips soggy, tempura was the strangest I’ve ever eaten, soggy, everything stuck together and tasted the same. Chilli mushrooms, soggy and lack of flavour. And what for us what was always the crown of this establishment, the black bean sauce dishes, not quite the same quality as before. All in all an expensive takeaway for what you get.

Delicious food that arrived really hot and fresh, and great friendly delivery. Wish I could have tipped the delivery guy on the app.

Lovely delivery driver very polite and chatty! Managed to find us ok which normally I have to go and fine them!! Food was delicious will defo order again. Thank you

I live in oxted and ordered twice in one week, the food is full of flavour and is hot on arrival, sometimes I am sceptical about places that offer both Indian and Chinese but crown and pepper are the best, only thing I would like to see added to there menu would be a option of soups however there are plenty of other options

Food was excellent, we had mainly the Indo Chinese dishes. Portions are a good size. Service was good. Atmosphere a little more pub like than restaurant, so if there is a football match on can get a little noisy.

First time ordered. Shame about the £3 delivery charge, but I guess Purley out of range. Very happy with meal, great quality, lots of it. Singapore noodles far too spicy for me, but lovely, hubby loved them though. Will deffo order again.

Placed an order of chinese food for the first time from Crown & Pepper. By far the worst takeaway we've had. Half of the order was inedible and didn't taste fresh. Will not be ordering again.

Wasn’t usually quality. Chicken chow mien was very chewy, couldn’t eat it. Sweet and sour chicken and egg fried rice was good.

Service was super friendly. We didn’t eat but it smelt delicious so we’ll be back to try.

I love the Salt and Pepper King prawns. You get 8 big prawns, cooked in a light batter and tasty seasoning. The pub downstairs is laid out so there's lots of room for being with your friends.

Crispy Bhajya we’re not fresh but re fried and so hard and tasteless. Salt and pepper tofu is apparently vegan but serving staff initially said that we t can’t make it Vegan.! Drinks are watered down it seems. Have been to Crown of Mitcham with similar menu and excellent food there.

I still haven't got my food and it has been 2 hours since I ordered.
