Great experience just before the pub closing for the refurbishment. I cannot wait to see how is looks when back open. The staff are amazing, service and food always on point. Can't recommend enough.

Absolutely awful food. Ordered a sandwich with Humus & grilled vegetables on focaccia bread. I would have been terribly embarrassed to serve this supposedly food to my customers, The bread was thick & hard, hardly any humus & vegetable at all in it. I am killing myself still today for not complaining on the day. And I paid £12.50 for that. Do not recommend and will never go back. Rating is a big 0.

Great food and a lovely atmosphere. Nice place to take kids for an early dinner. Slightly hit and miss service. Friendly and helpful but didn't write the order for a table if six down and then had to keep coming back to check the order. Ended up bringing the wrong dessert and took 15 mins to bring a bottle of wine.

Great pub with a very nice atmosphere and a really nice menu. We were a large group, about 30 and the food (had the chilli squid and slow cooked pork belly, did not try the deserts) and drinks were fantastic (I had a couple of Aperol spritzers). Cannot fault it. Our 2nd time there. Apologies to the management, my previous review was for the nearby Epsom Downs Racecourse!

We went in for lunch on a Tuesday afternoon. The service was poor, one very extremely grumpy young girl. My friend and her daughter had finished there meal before myself and my two children had even received ours. Was ordered at the same time so I don't know why ours was so delayed especially as it wasnt very busy in there. When it did finally arrive my 5 year old daughters pizza was dry and very little topping and my steak sandwich was burnt. Parts of the bread were black and all very hard to chew. Really disappointing!

Unfortunately when we booked online we booked the pub instead of restaurant for 5pm, we arrived at 16.45 and our table was right at the busy bar. I asked, as it was early and restaurant was empty whether we could sit in restaurant as we had booked the pub by mistake. This request was reciwved with a short note by the manager as she had no availability! She did move us to a quieter part of the pub when I asked. When we left at circa 18.30 restaurant was still half empty, so from a service angle could have easily moved us into restaurant with no hassle to themselves Food itself was ok nothing special, my pie was not steaming hot and the sea food pasta was also not really hot and the chorizo was burnt. Burgers were fine

We dropped in here for a quick lunch with our 3 grand daughters (4, 6 and 9) in tow, we initially sat outside as it was very busy inside (bank Holiday Monday), however the clouds came over and it turned chilly and started to rain, so we ushered the kids inside and struggled to find somewhere for the girls to sit down and warm up. We had already ordered food while we were outside so we were committed to stay. We eventually found a small settee with a low table with enough room for the girls to squeeze in. Then our food arrives!, I managed to find a chair for my wife and a member of staff found me a chair. It was a bit of a squeeze but we finally managed to tuck in. The staff were great, the kids meals were very expensive for what they received and overcooked, the kids burger was particularly disappointing, it was more like a "tiny meatball" lost in a bun!. The adults meals were very nice, but minimal and again very expensive. The place itself seems very popular as it was packed tight, and a bit overwhelming for our grand daughters, so as soon as we finished we left. In summary it was a very expensive "quick lunch" costing almost £90 for 3x small children and 2 x adults. The kids drinks were way over priced at £2.25 each for a very small carton ,so not even a glass to wash up.

The service was very good. The food was below average- I asked for my fillet steak medium and it came out rare. My husband had some tender-stem broccoli which was inedible as it’s tasted/smelt like fire lighter- he also ordered the chocolate crème brûlée- it didn’t taste of chocolate and the sugar top was not caramelised so was raw sugar on top.

Had the roasted vegetable ciabatta, couldn’t even do that well. A few onions and one slither of yellow pepper, on dry bread. Not enough filling and mostly onion. I’ve never had a good meal here. Also really poor vegetarian choices, they are now all vegan. They used to do more thoughtful veggie options like their amazing cheese soufflé with hazelnuts, now it’s dry bread and onions. Vegan burger is also dry and horrible. Total waste of money.

Leaving 5 stars because of my excellent experience with the food previously but just left after having dinner and my usual dish pork belly (which I have almost every week) was as solid as a brick. Potatoes dry and not ‘dauphinoise’, the usual melt in your mouth square crackling was the thinnest strip of cracking I’ve ever seen. Real shame as it’s my favourite dish in any PCP. Will of course return but not sure why this dish didn’t hit the mark like always this evening.

The food here was very good. I had the Pan-Fried Scallops for starter and the Sea Bass Fillets for main. Forgot to take any pictures, but it was presented well and we didn't wait long for it. They didn't have our first choice of red wine, but we managed to find a suitable alternative. Service was friendly but little slow at then end of the evening (the staff were just busy, certainly not stood around chatting). There was a strange drain smell by the front door which wasn't the ideal start, but it wasn't present in the restaurant thankfully. Will definitely visit again, good food & service at a reasonable price.

A mio parere è un ristorante caratteristico se si vuole assaggiare qualcosa di turco particolare che non sia solo il kebab. La definirei nel complesso un'esperienza positiva e mi sento di consigliarlo a chi si trova in zona ed abbia voglia di una serata all'insegna di sapori medio-orientali. Anche il prezzo è stato soddisfacente in quanto abbiamo speso in media meno di 35 euro a testa.
