Parrot pub in Mole Valley

We’ve visited this pub a few times for drinks but this was our first time to eat. Outstanding in every respect. The staff(mostly young) give excellent, friendly efficient service. The food quality was at a high level and good value for money. A truly great dining experience. Our server Hayley deserves a special mention - she did a fine job.

We booked a table for lunch to celebrate my husband's birthday. We were having a family New Year break. The Parrot was very welcoming, comfy chairs by the fire. In the restaurant the food was good, the dining area was a little cool although that could just be we had left the warm bar. Great atmosphere, would recommend.

I have allergy to vinegar and alcohol and, despite giving the waitress a list of what I couldn’t eat and being precise about it being an allergy, my burger arrived with vinegar more vinegar and more vinegar in the form of gherkin, Cole slaw, and salad dressing. The food was sent back three times before it looked as if it was right. However, the kitchen staff presumably just took off the gherkins and didn’t replace the meat patty as I have been suffering for 3 days since. I won’t be going back.

Went here for a lunchtime drink and snack with friends. The food was fairly good (Chicken Skewers and cheesy chips) but rather expensive for what it was. However one friend had to wait an age for a sandwich and chips. To the extent that others had finished by the time we questioned. Was told that it was called and were looking for you??? Well it was with the other meals? Then informed "I'll just go and get it" a further 10 minutes?? Just wish people would admit they made a mistake and not lie!

Superb location, quaint, picturesque, rural, lovely lawn areas but ... - Food overpriced, although decent quality (tuna sandwich £7.50?) - 2 bar staff on duty (a very warm & sunny Bank Holiday Monday) distracted and not very efficient - dreadful garden furniture (rotted, broken and far too few outdoor tables) desperately in need of replacement
