Stepping Stones in Mole Valley

Went on a Friday at 3pm after doing box hill hike. Had the burgers and they were far better than I expected. Fantastic service from the staff, decent value for money so close to a touristy place. Go for the burgers!!

Been here many times as the end goal of a local hike around Box Hill and Denbies. Not been disappointed. Meat pie and fish pie good. A reasonable choice of Ale, but a wider selection of low/No alcohol would be great.

Fantastic pub, super friendly staff and Vicky the assistant manager is brilliant, plus the cheesy chips are simply delicious.

Great pub with garden and amazing views. One of my all time faves for walking

Its a perfectly fine pub, but personally I would not go again for a family Sunday roast. I see it more of a couples quick pop in pub if that makes sense ! No offence to the lovely staff (most of them) , particularly one lady who seemed to be the manager/owner she was knowledgeable and knows great customer service. One waitress was a bit stroppy hence the reduction in stars.

Popped in yesterday hoping to get a meal unfortunately we left it a bit late. Fully booked. So we had a pint and sat in beer garden in the sunshine 🌞 the food looks lovely and smells fabulous. 😋 we will definitely book next time can't wait 😊

Small pub/restaurant on the way back from a hike before taking the train, very pleasant and cozy service and atmosphere, rather good food

Very nice lunch but service was varied.

We visited on a Monday evening and there was a great choice of good value meals. We went for the ham, egg and chips - a simple meal but delicious with thick slices of ham, perfectly cooked runny yolk eggs and crispy chunky chips. We also had the Cajun burger and skin on fries which again was well presented and excellent. There is a good choice of different dishes on the menu and service was friendly. Lovely desserts too! A lovely pub where you can sit in the bar area or the restaurant.

Nice but too expensive for food!

The food here is cooked to perfection and the staff were very friendly.

Got a little back garden, quality, and well cooked steak… good to stop by after the box hill hike before heading bk to London.

Had a late lunch do very quiet at the time. Good food and lovely location

The placename is wrong on Google. This pub is called "ep ing tones" !! Don't drink the Guinness.

Food was good. Have a nice sitting place in the back to enjoy the meal and relax.

We visited for lunch, after a Denbies wine tour nearby. A really lovely pub, tucked away off the main road. We were looked after by the lovely Steve, who made our afternoon even more enjoyable. We all had burgers which came with seriously good chips.

Met friends here for lunch. A damp Tuesday and very quiet. We were greeted by a smiling and friendly woman at the bar and chose our table. Our drinks arrived promptly and I chose the lamb ‘Madras style’ curry which turned out to be excellent and medium in strength. Fish pie, beef stroganoff and nut roast also proved to be good choices for our party and all arrived promptly. All in all an enjoyable time and one we’d be very happy to repeat

I don’t understand the negative reports. Our experience was excellent. We were a group of 14. We preordered and the service was first class as was the food . A big thankyou to Tina and her staff

£6.90 for a pint of stale moretti sitting in the car park. I mean garden. 😂

Came here for a stop on our walk. Good service, busy restaurant, but I struggle with £5.20 for a lemonade and some soda water. 3-stars mostly because the toilets in the men's bathroom were both completely unusable and in a state. Spacious garden though.

3/10 from me, It was a £10 roast. Extra for stuffing balls and cauliflower cheese, gravy barely visible, Staff were good though .

We were a large group and Tina and her team looked after us very well and were very accommodating. We were on the deck in the beer garden in the shade which was perfect as we had a number of babies and toddlers with us. The food was absolutely delicious too - particularly recommend the scampi. One member of the group also enjoyed their gluten free meal. Really lovely experience.

Really enjoyed my lunch at the stepping stones. The food came very quickly and was great 👍

Divine lamb shank, friendly staff and convivial environment

A very warm and friendly welcome made for a really enjoyable meal. We were offered either inside or outside seating, so with the warm evening sunshine covering the garden, it was an easy option. A very comprehensive menu with specials available made choosing a tough ask. After a little deliberating, we all plumped for burgers, 2 standard, and 2 special of the day. All 4 were really good. The 2 specials came with skin on fries while the standard burgers came with gourmet chips. A good selection of beers and ales to wash down our food, but the highlight was the vast selection of gins. Yes, we tried 4 different doubles, all coupled with a different tonic. Far too full to have a pudding, but, if we had, there were plenty of items to choose from. Overall, it is a really friendly environment, really wholesome food, great service, and a fine selection of drinks to wash it all down with. It's a shame we live such a long way away, but if we return to this area, we will pop and say hi with a view to enjoying a gin and a burger and hopefully the cheese board for pudding.

Worst food. Also, brought the wrong orders, the waiter not knowing which was which. Guy at the table has an allergy to mushrooms wanted to check it wasn't in the roast before ordering, it arrives with mushrooms...

Food was hit and miss. Good vibes and nice beer garden though

Cozy pub with home like furniture, featured with local beer. The beer garden is pretty nice.

Got told off by landlady for chatting to staff member whilst he made my coffee! Coffee machine not working so had to have an instant, but not offered a refund on the other two coffees.

A very disappointing experience. The food was very average. The service was grumpy at best. We had the taste card app and they refused to accept our 2 4 1 voucher despite having previously used this. The T & C's confirming we should have been able to use it and we've never had a card from Taste that we could have shown. The pub might want to review their approach to customer service.

Lovely staff at the bar with a warm welcome but the food was shocking. Ordered the prawn cocktail & squid to start. Prawn cocktail was mediocre, the squid came with mostly shredded lettuce & I’m not kidding 5 small pieces of squid! The mains - a special of the day burger which came with blue cheese & mushrooms (the only decent bit) the brioche bun was burnt & the burger dryer than the desert, also had a beef stroganoff which lacked any flavour & looked like something exited from an unwell person. I did bring this to the staffs attention, (re taste as somethings taste better than they look though not the case here) who said they could only comp one of the meals but bearing in mind either of them had barely been touched, that was very disappointing. Had better food quality at a Wetherspoons & I don’t say that lightly.

Perfect after hike meal. It was raining all day, the staff welcoming and the food was amazing. We also had the apple pie. Best apple pie we have had in ages! If you going to Box Hill do not miss this pub!

Think the owners could try harder. The pub is well located and so will be popular but inside and out it is a little grubby and unloved. In our view...

Thank you, once again for a fantastic lunch. This place is a must go to.

Overall a poor experience with poor customer service. My partner and I ordered food and drinks on our phone. The food came and was well cooked and tasty but no sign of the drinks. I asked the waiter to please check on our drinks as we’d prefer to drink with our meal and he just said that’s how the bar gets and didn’t check up on our drinks for us. We ate our meal and then I went into the bar to ask about our drinks (nearly 45 minutes after we ordered them). We only ordered one diet coke and one J2O so not a long/complicated order by any means. The staff behind the bar were not nice at all. They spoke to the manager and implied that we’d already had our drinks because they’d marked the ticket complete. Ultimately the drinks were remade but I was made to feel like I was stealing extra drinks rather than just getting the drinks we had paid for. It was a shame and did really ruin the experience for us. It is worth noting the pub was not busy at all in which you can understand a delay or mistake like this easily. It was just the overall tone where I was made to feel like I’d done something wrong as opposed to them simply apologising for their mistake and making the drinks. The staff were not helpful and we will not be returning.

£15 for the chacuterie starter. Was served 8 salami slices and 2 olives. Nothing else, that was the complete dish.

Got a coffee with was tiny and a pint of soda water and was charged £7!

A lovely family lunch enjoyed on Tuesday. Food was delicious. It was my mother’s birthday and the staff were very friendly and also looked after our small dog with treats and even a small piece of chicken, that was very much appreciated, thank you. Definitely worth a visit

Happened on this wonderful pub on a walk through Dorking. We ordered the proper Sunday roast, both the chicken and beef. The chicken was so delicious and most. We sat outside and enjoyed the lovely birds.

Stopped here for a drink and then decided to order food. the meat was of awful quality. The burger was so dry we could not swallow it. There were no jalapenos to go with the chilli and tacos which were hnestly the worst i have had. There was no soap in the toilets. My daughter saw items on the bar that were out of date. Sorry but this pub is failing badly

Didn’t feel welcome. They couldn’t raise a smile if they tried. Gloomy atmosphere.

Not a place I would like to visit again,, We were served by mr grumpy himself. Just read other reviews. Made us feel so unwelcome. Tables outside were nasty and sticky. Not somewhere you would enjoy eating out.

Very friendly helpful bar staff, lovely rest stop after a days walking the north downs way

Sadly I can only agree with all the recent negative reviews. Average surroundings and food. The guy who waited at our table we nicknamed Mr Grumpy--draw your own conclusions.

Fab pub to visit after a walk around the surrounding area with car parking attached. Popular with cyclists, walkers and of course dog walkers. Very dog friendly where you can sit and eat with your dog 🐕 in the bar area (not in the restaurant, which is fine as the bar area is big and roomy. Nice choice of pub fayre and drinks. I highly recommend it.

currently sat here for > 1 hour and the food is yet to come, were not told it would take so long…would not recommend at all

Great pub and very friendly staff.

Booked a table for 4 after exploring Box Hill. Tasty Sunday Lunch with vegan options. Disappointed that there was an extra charge for horseradish sauce !

5.50 for cheesy chips which weren’t cooked through, similar for mains, and service generally seemed disorganised and a chore. Location really good and do accept people just off the muddy trails.

This is such a lovely pub just minutes away from Box Hill station. My sister and I ended our hike with their vegan tart and some tea. It was so filling and the portion sizes are massive for the price (which is just what you need after a long hike). They also have some lovely pastries which I would love to try next time. The pub does get quite busy after 5pm so I would recommend making a booking if you are planning on having dinner.

Great pub to have a pint in just before catching your train following a walk around Box Hill

The dining experience was decent overall, with the food meeting expectations. However, there seemed to be a shortage of staff, which impacted the service quality. Despite this, the manager made an effort to address any issues and ensure our needs were attended to, which was appreciated.

Had a drink in the Garden. The garden is overdue for revamp. There are some cheap tables and chairs. Not too welcoming. The pub interior was ok. I'm not sure I ever wanted to return unless the pub improves their image.

Really impressed with the serving staff...nicely cooked roasts on Sunday

Great atmosphere for a pub. Fun events on. Food always good.

I found this absolute masterpiece of a pub by off chance on my way to hike up the hills and straight after . I stopped by with my 6 month daughter to have a pint and was wowed by the cleanliness, out of the world customer service and friendly atmosphere. This pub is a GEM. 5.50 pints with the most loving atmosphere. They was the best hosts and made you really feel like a guest. They delivered my beers to my table, asked ( not intrusively if I needed anything and was so loving and helpful with my daughter. They understood she might need baby changing ext and was very quick to accommodate and even recommended. I ordered the steak and ale pie which was absolutely lovely. I was served by the upmost kindness and professionalism. I found this pub on an off chance and I will be a forever returning customer. The prices are absolutely phenomenal. 5.50 for a pint? I live in London normally a pints at least 6-9 quid. Top work guys in what I can only call an impeccable establishment. My time here was so blissful It felt like I found a new home

Visited the pub as years ago we came and was lovely , but unfortunately this time disappointing The guy who served us the pudding had cut his hand and had a rag wrapped around it while handing my plate , which itself wasn’t very clean, that was not very nice The cake we were offered was stale and apparently we were told was left over from the weekend , so sent it back Overall the food was expensive and not great The servers were ok but seeing a dirty apron and rag over a fresh cut put us off Such a shame as the pub has so much potential but is now so tired and outdated

Food was good Staff were helpful and friendly

Fell into this pub with muddy boots and a dog after a five hour walk. We felt totally welcomed and enjoyed a two hour rest on comfy sofas, refreshing beverages and delicious food. The dog felt happy with the generous supply of treats he was given. Thanks very much.

It was OK We went outside and although a nice garden, it needs some tlc

Dry hamburger, tasteless bun, not a good fries very expensive compare to the quality. But excellent service!

I had driven past this pub many times but never had the time to stop but today was the day and I’m so glad I did. My partner and I enjoyed a quiet lunch. He had the ham, egg & chips which was delicious. The best chips he’d had in a pub! I had the warm Nachos with beef chilli con carne, guacamole and tomato salsa. It was fantastic. All washed down with a London pride shandy for me and a lager & lime for Mr. We just had enough room for 2 scoops of caramel ice cream for him and a scoop of raspberry & mandarin sorbet for me. Perfect and all under £50! Highly recommend

Great Sunday roast with all the trimmings. I had the lamb. The beer selection (I’m a craft beer fan) is very limited. I had one of the local cask beers which was good, but I just wish there were more local options on the keg side and even in the fridges.

Between us we had the pork belly, beef stroganoff and fish and chips. Food was amazing, staff are lovely. Will return.

Just need to thank the stepping stones for a great service on Thursday night's

45 minute wait for a single portion of chips. Nudged staff 25mins in and they said that they’ll be with me in a couple of minutes. The outside area was a tip and needs a lot of tlc.

Nice pub with a lounge area and good place for rest after long walk

Nice vegetable soup.Dogs given bowl of water

Nice service but food was really not great and very pricey

Friendly staff provided good service. Liked it.

Very accomodating, thank you & good sandwiches.

We went to visit Boxhill, Surrey. We looked up for a place to eat near the train station then stepped into The Stepping Stone. I Would recommend the place.

After a 10k walk up to box till we enjoyed a great meal in this local pub. The place is lovely,very comfy and great decoration for Xmas. Services was good,just the staff who welcome us was a bit in a hurry to take our orders for food,but everything else was great. This is was minor. Other staff serve us also and all friendly and happy. We had a great food great desert and the pub has a great atmosphere in. Worth a visit.

27 friends and myself had a great Christmas meal, food and service were wonderful

A very sad pub with so much potential. Terrible food (we had a soggy pie that seemed to have been warmed up in microwave), overpriced stale beer, cafeteria vibe, "beer garden" basically a car park, and generally unfriendly staff with slow service. Oh and a 1 star food safety rating I subsequently found out. Some great pubs in Mickelham, or grab a beer straight from the brewery at Denbies (Surrey Hills Brewery) for those looking for alternatives.

Food amazing. Atmosphere cosy and warm on a winters day Service good A lovely country style pub. Highly recommend

A very cozy and inviting pub with lots of vegetarian options. Dog friendly and very close to the train station!

Really friendly and welcoming staff. Nice variety of beers and Ales. Cosy atmosphere too!

Lovely pub! Great food, close to Box Hill walk. Beautiful location. Recommend

Mums wake, food was lovely .plenty of tea and coffee. Very respectful

A very classic, old fashioned pub, with a fantastic roast and very friendly staff. Very dog friendly as well.

Visited this pub on the off chance, never been there before, it was so warm and cosy! My partner and I did not eat but the food looked amazing and we will be going back soon to try it out! Service was friendly and had a great atmosphere.

Fantastic place to end our 30k run. I felt very welcome with the dog. The food was delicious and service impressively fast. Will be back.

Fantastic pie and mash! Really delicious and *proper* steak and ale pie.

Came here for a jazz jam session. Throughly recommend the cosy atmosphere here

Cosy pub, nice staff and a great pint but I guess the chef was away as the food Saturday lunch time wasn't good!

We booked a birthday lunch. The staff were lovely and the food was great 😀

Great place to go after a walk on Box Hill

Bit expensive moretti and large sauvignon blanc £ 16.45

Nice enough but ferry prices. 11 quid for a glass of wine and they have the cheek to add another £1.20 for a dash and then ad 12.5% non negotiable to the bill total. Prob won't go back as i felt ripped off for what we had... i dan afford that much. You live and learn but that was just too much. No wonder the place was totally empty. Staff were nice and food OK... but its only a pub FFS not a restaurant.

Nice pub, very conveniently situated near the station. Just right for a rewarding couple of (very decent) pints after a walk on a Saturday afternoon. Sat in the garden. Clearly popular but plenty of space. Friendly bar staff too. Would go back.

Came to the Stepping Stones for a wake.

Lovely pub and very friendly. The garden space is small but well maintained. Toilets were clean. When we visited there were cakes on sale as well, but that might have been connected to the jubilee rather than a regular thing. Good range of drinks and snacks, didn't try the food so can't comment on that.

Nice pub near the train station

Nice little feature on the way up to the top of Box Hill. Great spot for picking wild garlic around May time!

This is a fantastic place and everyone is so naturally kind!

Very good place! The food was amazing and they also have smaller portions if you want, so I could finally have the small main AND the one of the best Apple pie with custard ever! The waitress was kind and friendly (not a fake friendly to have a tip as tip was included) so really no negative comment!! Well done and see you again 😉 ps: they had iced tea as well- this is something that I like but very difficult to find in pubs and restaurants.

A decent country pub, especially good after box Hill and the 3 Surrey Peak challange. A bit pricey and the beer selection could be a bit better. Very friendly staff though so swings and roundabouts!
