Subway; Great Bookham in Mole Valley

What an excellent family friendly pub with fantastic food, it was the best roast I have had in years. Going anywhere with an autistic child can be hard but the staff couldn’t do enough for us and made such an effort to make us feel welcome and at ease. The food was not only of an excellent quality, the beef melted on your mouth but the portion size was very generous as well. It was so cheap for what you got and was one of the best value meals I have ever had for the quality and size.

Fantastic service, sadly my husband had some of the blue label in his wine which went un noticed until we mentioned it and I had a large bone in a small fillet of seabass. There was no apology, just a response from thr head chef of oh, that sometimes happens. This made me feel that we were there at their behest, not enjoying a relaxed Anniversary celebration as was intended. The waitress referred to my husband and I as guys which wasnt appreciated. Some incredibly odd food pairings of black garlic in a petit four and castel blue cheese and German sausage on a plate of Highland venison. It is the most beautiful building but I have enjoyed better tasting food in other locations. Sadly not for me, an8d I am classically trained in food cookery.

We come here for lunch to celebrate a birthday or anniversary. The ambience is always lovely and relaxed, service friendly and attentive (whilst not being overly so). Food is great and at the last visit, I had the Shallot Tart Tatin, followed by Beef Short Rib and a shared Apple Tart Tatin with Calvados Ice cream. The Shallot Tart Tatin is the star of the show for me - it was the second time I had it and it was just as fabulous the second time round.

Its the first time that i have eaten in The Parrot after years of brief visits during motorcycle rides or network events. I an excellent venue, a great menu and food. The vibe is perfect and very homely for a large pub. The staff could not do enough, just excellent. Book though - it is very busy on Sundays but it as well oiled machine, so wait times are fine.

Was told around 5:30pm that we would need to move as the space is reserved for 7pm, therefore we’d have to go at 6:30pm… ok, thats all good, no problem there. A few mins later another staff member comes up and tells us the exact same thing. Ok… thank you… we understand, (it wasn’t even 6pm yet). Bit strange, but oh well, at least they got their point across, I believe it’s because we unfortunately are of the female race, therefore they made sure to use their big scary male dominance, maybe implying a sexual need, maybe needing to relieve some anger, maybe just to feel big and strong, or maybe… just maybe, they just felt so sad that their physical appearance had been so utterly destroyed with their life choices. We will never know.
