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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

The only reason for this review is with the hope that the manager will read and act on my review to help improve his offering or stop serving food .called in to this pub last night for dinner , very disappointing , we each had different menus to start with ,we both chose the pie ! When it eventually came My pastry was raw , the filling tasted suspect ,and tough ,couldn’t eat it .the vegetables were nice .staff were lovely although bewildered .bill and Lynne

A bit of a disaster. They appear to be short in staff according to the signs near the garden. This is not usually a problem if handled well. But on this occasion in resulted in orders from several tables being mixed up in the kitchen. We saw the waiter return to the kitchen with incorrect dishes. Also long waiting times for good for the same reasons. The food was not bad eventually and the garden is nice. But there needs to be someone in charge that can handle the organisation much better.

Quiet local pub on the weekday evening our group visited with great access to the Surrey hills. Large seating areas inside and out. Large private car park although access to the overspill area at the very back of the pub seemed a bit narrow. Some good local Ales available and despite the short staffing levels the pub still managed to serve us Chips after 21.00 hrs and they were lovely. Our large group felt we were well looked after and made to feel welcome.

I went here with my husband and kids around 2pm on Sunday and I have never been more disgusted with the quality of my food that was served. The waiters were fantastic but the main problem was the chef here. Our food came extremely late AND I look back into the kitchen and see the chef coughing into peoples food. We have a virus going around and my family and I are worried sick. I hope to see this chef fired seeing as this is a death threat.

I went to this pub on Saturday afternoon with my husband. I had an awful, mortifying experience. Although the waiters were incredible, i could hear the chef screaming angrily the entire time i was there, and as i looked into the the back i saw him coughing and contaminating food. I ordered a burger and it came completely raw and it tasted like plastic, with a stale bun and the cheese was rubbery. I also ordered chips that had no flavor and were simply disgusting. This is by far the most mortifying food experience i’ve ever had and the chef needs to be held accountable for this horrendous situation. It took an hour for my food to arrive and it took them 30 minutes to give me my check after i asked. The whole restaurant had an awful hostile vibe to it and there were many drunk man sitting at the bar. This restaurant will not be seeing me again, and i will be spreading the word of this dumpster fire.

Ordered a plain rice with mushrooms and salad. The curry was very watery and poorly prepared. There was a handful of salad leafs, and, the price for this dish for a note, was £12.95. Strangely enough, but there is no service at all either if you are planning to sit outside. Pepper and salt were missing on each table, when one of the staff members has been asked to bring one they said ‘ok’ and never showed up. 2/5

We liked the atmosphere, the staff was helpful and friendly. Great location close to Box Hill. We didn't like the food however. The menu itself was a little confused, with pretty much two separate menus, bar food versus sunday food, each with its own starters/main/desserts. Food service was slower than average. Sausage and mash was okay, though I found the vegetables under-seasonned. The burger we didn't like at all. Patty was compact and dry, lettuce and bun were tired. Fries quite floury. We also tried the apple pie. We found the crust tasting somewhat undercooked, the filling unevenly heated and tasting fairly odd. We wouldn't come back for food, but otherwise good pub for a pint. A piece of advice I'd have is to reduce the menu list considerably and focus on doing less, but with greater quality.

The location and food was lovely. The staff should work out their logistics. It wasn't that busy and there was quite a few staff but they were struggling to keep up. Saw a lot of people waiting to pay when they were running late to catch the train. Although I understood why one of the chefs had to come out to address a wrong order, but I don't like seeing them being rude and aggressive in front of customers.

If you want a nice meal after a long, beautiful walk - walk a little further to another pub. Fish and chips were good, but apple pie was really disappointing. A drunk man came round to all the tables breathing in our faces (even touched my food leaning over us) and overall, just making everyone feel uncomfortable. He was showing us inappropriate pictures when all we wanted to do is enjoy a nice afternoon. I'd say it was just bad luck, but the staff could have politely asked him to leave (he was doing the rounds for 20-30 mins). After he left they spoke to some people saying he won't be let back in, but let's be honest, something could have been done sooner.

Agree with other reviews that the staff was really friendly and helpful. The food however was awful. The mashed potatoes and Hollandaise sauce that came with the oven grilled salmon was awful - the mash was old and the sauce was non eatable. The steak was well done although it was requested to be rare. The vegetables were overcooked and the hamburgers were dry and stale. The promised skinny fries did not materialise either. It was such a shame as the location and the staff really deserves something better.
