Old Bell in Tandridge

Met friends for lunch. I selected a mini beef and Stilton wellington for a starter. Very pleasant but couldn’t really taste any Stilton. Had turkey main which was nice although the veg was over cooked and rather dried up. The pub itself is warm and welcoming and the staff were very helpful

We really enjoyed our grilled cheese sandwich and scampi and chips. Gillian was very friendly and attentive. We'll definitely be back.

Lovely food, lovely staff, I have to have gluten-free food because of celiac disease, but they were very attentive, and my gluten-free roast dinner & pudding was very nice. Thank you

We were served by Imogen this evening and she was lovely. Very attentive and welcoming. Our food was wonderful, my steak was cooked to perfection! The puddings were too good and should come with a warning - we’re all stuffed to the brim now. Thank you so much for a lovely evening.

Lovely meal, great atmosphere, not too busy or noisy so we could chat. Food was delicious and the service was really good, thanks to Imogen.

First time visit today to the Old Bell celebrating our 34th Wedding anniversary. Really pleased with the lovely food and service from Gillian.We had a lovely time and would visit again.Thank you so much.

Delicious food, great service, very comfortable ambiance and nice table linen.

Such a shame, but the new manager is the rudest man we had ever met. Decided to make up a new policy that children need to remain seated at all times, apparently because a group of elderly women on the other side of the dining room had decided children should not even be seen. To note: my child was walking around an empty area of the restaurant with me by his side, no where near the women's table, after he had finished eating and we were waiting for the rest of our party to finish, he wasn't being noisy or disruptive. If you have children just avoid you won't be welcome. Shame as we have had such excellent service in the past from Gillian so this really confused us as we have always felt so welcome normally.

6 adults and 2 toddlers. All were looked after brilliantly by Gillian. She is a fantastic advert for the service you get there. £250 bill was well worth it but unfortunately my budget didn't allow me to leave a tip. I will come again for a more modest meal and make that right. 😉

Good food, service by Gillian fantastic

Very nice roast for a reasonable price. Good sized pub with a nice atmosphere.

The Old Bell provided a very enjoyable setting for an early evening family meal. The service was attentative and welcoming, and the setting is excellent. Thanks to Gillian for looking after us.

Very tasty food, lovely service and friendly welcoming environment . Would definitely come again and highly recommend a visit.

It was quite busy so probably better book your Sunday lunch. Server Gillian was quite helpful and friendly. Food was good and portions were spot on; not too much not too little. The additional gravy boat was very welcomed.

Very friendly and helpful waitress (Gillian) great food and quick service. Been many times and always treated well. Especially my 91 year old relative

Lovely Sunday roast! Thanks to Billy and the rest of the team for the great service 👍

We had a group booking for lunch and were not disappointed. The food was delicious, ambiance was lovely and service was fantastic. Gillian looked after us exceptionally well. We’ll definitely be back :)

Beautiful pub really friendly on holiday week ago

Lovely pub, but need more usual tables and chairs in the bar, as most are tall tables and benches.

Sunday roast. Meat was tough and little flavour, served on cold plates !

We had a lovely meal out with friends, it's always a pleasure to see the lovely Gillian she is always very helpful and friendly, she makes our visit every time! A real credit to the team :)

Lovely pub with lovely staff and atmosphere. Was served by Gillian and it was a really nice experience visit. Will be back as this was our first time.

We had a great family meal here, superb serving team

A nice friendly staff in the pub and great atmosphere. Breakfast was nice and ok in value

What a beautiful pub 😍 cosy atmosphere with friendly staff. Gillian our host was very attentive and served us with a warm smile. Food was amazing, our teen enjoyed everything which is always a bonus 😀

Gillian, Jacob, and the team were all lovely. Food was excellent. A standout in an area with lots of choice

This occasion was a family gathering, so people travelled from all parts of the SEast. Our server was Gillian who, as always was polite, friendly and welcoming. However, when the meal finished the Manager was very off hand and rushed us out, because she was having a break and wanted to eat!! The Bell needs to train someone else to operate the till, so that the manager can have her break and customers are not rushed and hurried out! Up till then it was a very pleasant experience, but next time, we will find some where else for our gathering! There is plenty to choose from in Oxted. (Sorry Gillian)

Wondering Sunday roast with the family. Food was very flavoursome and good portion sizes. Gillian was lovely and very tentative.

Hasn't changed. Cheaper than carpenters at Limpsfield so deer..

A great pub with good food and beer 🍻

Can honestly say this was the best Sunday roast we have had in a very long time. Beautifully cooked and lots of it. Everything on the plate tasted excellent.

I have just had my birthday meal here today and the roast dinner was amazing. Gillian who served us was very welcoming and a lovely waitress. The atmosphere was very lovely for a Sunday lunch. Will definitely return and highly recommend

Very nice menu and food. Good value.and very good service. Looked after by Gillian. Also some very good deals. We use the Old Bell regularly.

Visited at lunchtime with a friend on a Monday. We were surprised at how busy it was m, but after having had the food , we both thought it was excellent. Our waitress was very good & attentive too.xx

This was my second visit and I will be going there again I'm sure as my daughter and son-in-law have recently moved to Oxted. Welcoming, good food and very friendly and efficient serving staff.

Delicious food from the kitchen !!! Felt well looked after by our server Gill, will definitely be back for our next social event !! :)

Was served by a lovely lady called Gillian, service was really good and food was amazing, I believe the chefs name was Sophie on this day. Perfect portion sizes and came out in a timely manor. Would definitely return

Took my 90 yr old Mum out for dinner as she was staying with us for a few days. Food was lovely and all the staff were very attentive. Gillian, our waitress, went out of her way to make my Mum feel welcome.

Came for a lovely meal with the family, we were treated amazingly by Jacob and Gillian who were both sensational. When we come come back again soon we hope to be served again by them.

Lovely local pub and great staff all round! Speedy service and very welcoming can’t wait to visit again

We had dinner here as a group of 6. The children enjoyed their kids meals which were a good size. The food was nice and the service from Gillian was excellent, thank you

Served by Gillian who is always excellent. Friendly and helpful.

Good food, good time and pleasant staff

Had a lovely lunch here - good value, perfect portion sizes. Well taken care of by Gillian

A great place to unwind after a long drive through the countryside.

Lovely staff great food great time look forward to coming back another day

Lovely food and service from Gillian

Lovely pub and nice lunch here with our kids. Service was friendly and really nice with our little ones but got very busy near the end so a bit harder to pay when we were ready to head off. We arrived earlier as website says 9:30 opening on Friday but I think it didn’t actually open until 12 so it would be good to update hours! :)

This quaint pub, with beams, is worth visiting. We had an excellent lunch with good beer and the staff are so welcoming.

Great place, air conditioning too, food good value, good parking too

Excellent food and lovely staff. Very nice beer. Looked very quiet from the outside, but was busy. Large dining area. Family friendly.

Great spot to eat with family, our server Gillian was very kind making sure the little one had colouring paper. She was amazing

Really lovely pub. Stopped here on the way from Chessington. Food was lovely. Service great. Highly recommend and wouldn’t hesitate visiting

Visited for a dinner with family. Staff and food were amazing. Gillian our server was amazing. Made us feel very welcome.

Beautiful pub built in 1500s. Welcoming staff. We missed the breakfast brunch and were too early for lunch but they got us in anyway. Wonderful waitress. Definitely need to stop in!

We booked for lunch today , we had a lovely starter of garlic mushroom on sourdough bread. This itself was very nice, we then ordered the roast beef , quite possibly the worst roast dinner wev ever had in a pub, the beef was extremely thick cut , as thick as a steak! and very fatty and tastless the description of this roast did not match up to what we recieved, the potatoes were tastless but apparently cooked in goose fat and rosemary , the yorkshire pudding was like cutting into dust , completely empty! The veg was flavourless , so basically all we ate was the potato's even though they were devoid of any flavour , and the stuffing which was ok ish. Being typically British and not wanting to upset or make the waiting staff feel awkward when asked if everything was OK with our meal we said yeh its fine thank you. There was also no time between the starter and the main , we needed a little break, the staff however were very friendly and attentive but they need to up their game on the roast beef , can't comment on other meals offered but not a good food experience for us, hence we won't be returning any time soon .

Lovely atmospheric pub. Worth visiting.

Good, friendly pub with decent food. Much larger than it looks, with a decent sized car park for a hungry traveller to get to off the tedium of the M25! Oxted is worth a look too.

A group of us had a very nice late Saturday lunch in April, after a longish walk. We were really impressed by the friendliness and how the pub accommodated in a relaxed manner our shifting group numbers between the date of booking and our arrival and also the fact that we were rather later than we expected. Gillian was really helpful, and she and the chef were very assiduous in making sure my coeliac intolerance was safely catered for. We had a lovely time. Thanks you all - very much recommended.

Today I was served by Val, Max and Chiara. Amazing service

5 of us were booked for a lunchtime meal. There was a food range of options and we thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The only slight issue was the undercooked squash in the vegatable meal, inside was fine outside to hard to eat. Drinks were good and the service excellent. Gillian was helpful and provided excellent service. Car parking is good, and we will come again

6 of us went for dinner which we really enjoyed. Food was very nice and portions were good size (pie was huge) and we all left full. Service was quick and friendly from Gillian. Only 1 negative was kids mains (Mac n cheese) were very small although dessert was great.

Lovely afternoon meal with the family and our baby. Gillian served us and she was a delight, couldn’t be more helpful especially when it came to the gluten free options available for myself. Very accommodating and helpful. Thank you!

Food was amazing😍 staff very friendly and helpful would highly recommend to any one in the area we all had 3 different meals and all was amazing

Lovely meal and great service by Gillian. Family group of six. Steak and ale pie lovely and fish and chips lovely - thanks so much

I had booked online and specified that one of the party was gluten free and vegetarian. Our lovely server, Gillian, brought a tablet to our table to provide the necessary information on the allergens in the menu, and the menu options that would be appropriate. She was attentive and professional throughout, patient and friendly. The food and drinks were enjoyed by the whole group. There is a good range of gluten-free and vegetarian options, including an extensive dessert list beyond ice creams and sorbets.

A last minute detour brought us to the Old Bell on a very rainy bank holiday Monday! The bar itself was very quiet but restaurant seemed busy. Staff clearly working very hard and our waitress was extremely warm but possibly it was the position of our table that made it a bit of a thoroughfare and as such we didn't get to take advantage of any nice views, we didn't feel particularly cosy etc. so we could have been anywhere really. Food was good quality and tasty, just lacking in atmosphere for us.

Lovely food as usual. Used free bottle of wine promotion voucher that had been emailed to my mum for her birthday. Thank you Gillian!

Had the burger and turkey roast dinner. Food was delicious! Really impressed. Also happily served by Gillian who very pleasant.

We enjoyed great food which was served quickly and our waitress was very friendly. There was a nice atmosphere which meant we had a very enjoyable evening

My husband and I enjoyed our lunch in this friendly beautiful pub. Service was very good and efficient. The food was delicious. The staff were great especially Gillian who served us. We will definitely visit again.

Great meal with friends one of our favourite venues for food. Nice to have Gillian serving us as usual. Will be back again soon!

Mooi interieur met een gezellige sfeer. Aardige en enthousiaste serveerders, wij werden bediend door Elillian. Het is lekker en het zijn geen belachelijk grote porties.

very good excellent service the food was great happy days peace and love will come back again maybe big up steak sandwich

Great village pub for a meal or drink . Good fiendly service and food Been quite a few times . Always enjoyed oue time there Gillian pleased with her friendly helpful service

The food was excellent. Real food cooked by a real chef. Real meat (not reconstituted). Wide choice. Look out for the national chain "Chef and Brewer" if they are all this good, this will change your attitude to eating out in the UK.

Great visit. Enjoyed it and will go back. Their menu is more extensive than Google's list below!

We went in for a roast dinner while out and about, the place itself is very run down and the seats are very tatty!, the food was quite nice but not much off it, we went for the mixed (3 meat) roast dinner, however they had run out of beef, so we were asked if we wanted to double up on the pork or turkey that was on offer, we both opted for the pork, but we're very underwhelmed when our meals arrived. We had 3 slices of meat on our plates! And small slices at that!, 2 x pork and 1 x turkey! The roast potatoes were tiny also. We both left still hungry. I don't think we will be rushing back I'm afraid.

Great pub. Went for a quick pint after work. Service was great. Will be back to try the food.

We didn’t get beyond the drinks due to cantankerous staff and the menu content which had no roasts. Left and ate a great meal nearby.

A great place for a bite to eat at lunchtime. Gillian who served us has always been so helpful and friendly. Highly recommend if you are in old Oxted at any time.

This is a great spot for lunch. Highly recommended for food and drink. Lovely staff. I had the steak and ale pie chosen with mash potato, cannot beat this spot

Great and fast service from Gillian And great tasting food from the kitchen. Steak was cooked beautifully and chips were crisp and fluffy. Highly recommend The Old Bell to all my friends and family

Lots of dialogue I could go in to, but the bottom line is the staff are incredibly rude and the food is at best average. Save your money and give it a miss.

Great pub for drinks and dinner. Menu has so many options and vegan and veggie friendly. Gillian is always so lovely. Love it!

Lovely little pub, our server Gillian was so kind and friendly. Food was delicious, I would recommend the Steak and Ale pie, good amount of filling and perfectly cooked!

Roast was absolutely amazing…. BBQ chicken was enjoyed by my 13yr old son and Puddings were delicious. Highly recommend, we are definitely coming back for more.

Clearly not the right day to go to a chef & brewer as it was the day before a seasonal menu change… so basically half of the menu was ‘not available’. Would have been good to know this before hand as I would not have booked for our birthday lunch. When we did decide on what to have to say it was ‘ok’ is being kind. I could have done it better at home. The fish finger ciabatta wasn’t pleasant. The ciabatta was rock hard and the fish cooked to within an inch of its life. I had to take the batter off. The scampi seem to actually have no ‘scampi’ inside! It was comical. Someone needs to turn the fryer down. And I think we shared a portion of chips between us at best. Chef & brewer should not be dishing up food like this… thoroughly disappointing.

Gillian was lovely and the food was nice. Nice pub, nice atmosphere. Would recommend for lunch or dinner with good atmosphere for family’s.

Lovely pub, great food and a wonderful helpful host Gillian. Would definitely recommend if you're in the area and want an excellent meal.

We came here for breakfast as a family with 2 young children. The staff were friendly and accommodating, it was clean and the food was absolutely delicious. It was served quickly (but not too quickly) and portions were generous, even for the kids and their pancakes went down a storm.

Brought my mum for Mother’s Day and we both thoroughly enjoyed! Superb Sunday roast - good portion size and a very reasonable price! I roast sirloin of beef and my mum loved the slow roast beef on the bone. Unfortunately we were both too stuffed for desert! Exceptional, friendly service with a smile. Definitely worth a visit and highly recommend!

Lovely pub, very friendly and helpful staff. Great food and service , especially Gillian, who quickly got our bill and payment as we had to unexpectedly leave sooner than planned. Would highly recommend and we will visit again.

Lovely food, lovely Benny, with car parking and lovely staff members to help you choose what you want

Sunday Roast & Veggie option Me and my family were lucky enough to get a cancelled booking and I'm so pleased. We were served by Gillian and what a breath of fresh air. She made us feel.so welcome and gave us our space but was also attentive. All the staff were friendly regardless of them being super busy. I had the turkey roast was it the best I've had? Not really it was slices rather than a cooked turkey but it was no way a bad meal. I would score it 7.5/10. Good portions and I clearly found it tasty as everything was gone. I tried my mums veggie (mushroom) wellington and that was delicious. Now desert mmmmmmmm absolutely indulgent. I ordered the brownie as a chocolate fan and it was mind blowing. I highly recommend this place 👌 and will be returning just book in advance and the atmosphere was busy but calm setting. Please go and enjoy for yourself and while your there say hi to gillian from Sunny 🌞

Waitress Gillian was very helpful with menu choices to cope with one of our party following cancer of the tongue and where she has limited saliva. The light lunch of salmon with poached egg suited her well and my chicken ciabatta with bacon was very enjoyable. We were looked after by Gillian very well.

Fantastic Sunday roast at The Old Bell! Delicious food, cozy ambiance, and outstanding service. Highly recommend for a nice Sunday lunch!

We had a fabulous time and Jacob was an excellent server. The food was great, everyone really enjoyed the sunday roasts.

Thanks Lilya, your calamari was delicious the right about of chilli. The mushrooms & ciabatta were both wonderful! Unfortunately our Peach Bellini cocktails were not fantastic! Otherwise great time!

This pub is great for a casual lunch or a more substantial meal. The menu is extensive and varied and the staff are very professional and friendly. We were served by Gillian who was lovely. Very enjoyable meal and we will be back. We fancy...
