Friendly staff, but very slow service - seemed very short staffed - an hour for main and over an hour for ice cream. Main arrived cold and tasted microwaved.

Waiter came and picked up my partners empty plate and then proceeded to empty near by tables by placing large tray on our table and scrapped the food of the other plates and all the while I was still eating my lunch, this is unacceptable.

Disappointed, I went for a Sunday roast, and the meat is supposed to be the hero of the dish, but my meat was cut so paper thin it dissolved into the gravey. Then, losing our pudding having to give then the recipe as proof. When the "found it" the sticky toffee and custard was cold, and the toffee was like rubber. Not my best experience.

The bloke at the bar was chatty and friendly. The food was as you'd expect but the big shame was the manager. Whilst they wanted to be chatty, I did not think it was professional to scold staff in front of customers and was a little taken aback at a comment directed towards me. They couldn't even take us to our table and just gave a quick instruction.

Staying at the next door hotel on business. Excluding breakfast I’ve had 7 evening meals. The food is what you’d expect, good honest pub food, However every single meal has had a problem, bits missing, sometimes not arriving at all and once the wrong food. The latest meal was correct but arrived wrapped in cling film. Wrong table I guess. I’ll continue to use Monkey Puzzle but unlike some pubs I really don’t like the whole experience

What a miserable place... Smells like unchanged cooking oil like absolutely stank. It hit me as soon as I walked in and I regretted the dry clean only dress. The drinks selection is as basic as you can get but priced like it's premium. Their 'buffet' is a load of pre-cooked supermarket rubbish and only suitable for someone with the appetite of a gnat. Staff look like they are being held hostage and if anything slightly out of the ordinary happens they can't/won't do anything. Don't blame them - I'd give up too. Unless you're the guy who decides to randomly accuse people of stealing and try to ruin the party they've spent over £500 on. Not exactly wealthy people either, just a couple who have saved up to celebrate their anniversary with their young family. And their guests spent a chunk of money. Without which the place would have been deserted. I have the fun of visiting all the finalists for the Pub of the Year competition. This one has given me a great comparison as the worst I've ever been in.

Absolutely disgraceful, a “couldn’t care” staff. Ordered 4 meals for my wife and I and two granddaughters .my wife and I ordered gammon, one with egg and one with pineapple. The meals for us turned up as gammon steak with neither egg or pineapple after about 45 minutes. When I complained the server went away and returned about 20 minutes later with two plates each containing a slice of pineapple with a fried egg on top., still no sign of our granddaughters meals. When I complained to a member of staff I assume that the manager became involved where she accused me and my wife of upsetting the staff. Once again a case of people using the staff harassment statement to suppress any criticism of deplorable service. We left with our granddaughters in tears. What a brilliant advert for a very badly run restaurant. There were several other couples that were in a similar situation as we were.

We went on a sunny Sunday they seemed a bit short staffed so nobody was around to greet customers which for us wasn't an issue as we just asked at the bar but I did see a couple of times people waiting to be seated and one of the waiters effectively shouting across the restaurant for them to take a seat. Having said that the server we had was brilliant. Food was decent we had the roast carvery which was lovely

The mixed grill was excellent, but the mega burger was disappointing, far too small 😑 However I visited a Beefeater on Sunday that was a terrible experience, so I will never complain about Brewers Fayre in comparison, strange as they're both the same chain.

Main guy with the bad beard and glasses is a bully, nasty to the really pleasant worker in red, who was very helpful and speeding around to accommodate everyone, even getting my aunt gluten free bread and toasting it for her, and then offering us the same. I didn’t get his name as there was no tag but the guy was very polite. And the man on the door was far from, and nasty. Heard by customers unnecessarily berating staff that are performing better than him.

Awful experience… waited over 1.5hours for food and still didn’t get everything we ordered. Despite us being very patient and polite to the waiting staff, the manager was incredibly rude and very unprofessional towards us when we quite rightly raised our concerns. The staff were doing their best but are obviously being let down by poor leadership from their manager. I would strongly recommend avoiding this awful place!

For the last two Sundays, my family and my best friends family have eaten here. Both times they have been short staffed so food has taken longer than usual, but this didn't bother us as the kids had the play area outside. What did catch our eye though was an employee named Mark. Both evenings he had either stayed on longer than his shift to help out or come back after finishing work, he was so polite and helpful to everyone and even though he was quite clearly rushed off his feet, he always made sure he had a quick chat. He is honestly a great asset to the monkey puzzle. Alyshia (sorry if spelt wrong!) Was also amazing and very attentive to our children's needs and so easy to talk to! I think we've found our new eating place 😌 Keep up the good work guys!

First time going we arrived about 2pm for a food of some sort, we ordered steak salad which was fine also steak and chips ..chips were cold,and a double burger with chips and coleslaw,chips were cold coleslaw was hiding behind the burger bun, at least the burger was hot and tasty we wouldn't have minded if it was busy but it wasn't so no excuse for cold food ...we will go again to be fair and give it another go we use the beefeater in farnham all the time for breakfast but it's closing soon so we thought we would venture out

At first the staff were not clued up on intolerances. But once the manager came along she was very helpful and made changes to where we needed it. Atmosphere was very quiet for a Friday night. Even with an England football game on. Breakfast was ok. No signs out for intolerances. Small playground for kids which is always a bonus for families.

I was pleasantly surprised when stopping here for lunch today - the staff were attentive and prompt, the restaurant and facilities were clean and in good order, kids outside play area was a hit and reasonably priced for the area. Whilst they do not offer order from table there was clear signage about this and the queue at the bar moved swiftly. Will certainly be returning in the future.

I'd give this place a miss. Just had most of a meal at this eatery and won't be going again until they sort themselves out. Starter arrived in 10 minutes (Good) Mains arrived in approx 1 hour (Terrible) Didn't want to wait to get a desert so picked up one from local supermarket. To top it all the one main meal wasn't as hot as it should be and another appeared to be congealed having, I assume, been left under a heater whilst the rest was cooking.... They were obviously understaffed and I don't blame them. The management, if they exist, need to do their job and fix these problems. Other customers sat near me had a similar experience

Sadly none of this visit was positive. Sticky dirty tables. Trying to order food was a challenge as the staff member repeated wrong menu items back to me and talked over me, long wait for food, burnt burgers, cold chips, warm coleslaw flavourless coffee even with an extra shot of espresso. It was dead for a sunday lunchtime but still slow and poor in every way. We won't be going back.

The Peri is very good but the "Mild" is very Mild and the "Hot" is very Hot! Nothing in-between. They should do a proper "medium". Sometimes the fried chicken is a bit dry and dark where they are not changing the oil as often as they should. No idea why they use so much sellotape on the food packaging! It's difficult to get into the food! Chips portion has become smaller. Good burgers - would be great if they had fried egg available as an add-on for the burgers.

I ordered the following on 9th December 2024: Shredded duck chow mien (large), Singapore rice noodles (large), and crispy chilli beef. Apart from the unusually small portion sizes, the quality of the food was awful. Both the chow mien and Singapore rice noodles were soggy, very salty, and too much oily to the extent of dripping. For the crispy chilli beef, it definitely didn’t taste crispy. It was rather sugary. It tasted more like beef in maple syrup! I don’t normally rate foods but I take exception to overpriced, badly prepared food that also gave me stomach aches and diarrhoea. Never again. My advice? Stay clear!
