The Blenheim in Epsom and Ewell

We came here at the end of a dog walk and wanted to see what the new manager had done with the place, and we were pleasantly impressed. We had a chat with the new landlord, sorry we didn’t ask your name, and he’s really trying to turn this bar into what it should be, a place where all can come and drink and relax in their community. Wanna play darts, pool and watch football there’s a bar for that, wanna sit and drink with family or in nice surroundings on your own? There’s a bar for that. Please whatever you thought of the bar before come down and try it out now, they’re really making the effort to make sure they cater for all whilst removing some of the stigma of yesteryear, it can only do this if we all do our bit and keep them thriving.

2019: Needs levelling and building into a couple of nice houses. 1 star. 2024: changed hands a few times since and to be honest my original comment still stands but it's OK for a cheeky pint every now and then. Upgraded to 3 stars.

What a great night few drinks had a dance nice people nice bar staff

We had a private function on Saturday for my sisters hen and i couldn't fault a single thing! The staff were absolutely amazing, super friendly and even got involved! The venue was clean, tidy and spacious! Couldn't recommend The Blenheim enough! highly recommend!

Brilliantly run, fun staff, good food, great atmosphere

This place is great, they have been so welcoming to our football team and are so friendly. The food is amazing and the staff are great

Nice place to have a fantastic day night

Very friendly manager. They will be doing food soon . Nicely smartened up pub, and we'll be coming back when the food starts 😁

Stay away from this establishment. It’s not worth your money and peace. Very rude and obnoxious staff during my visit, felt rushed and not welcomed. Save yourself and go somewhere else where your custom is actually appreciated.

A member of staff behind the bar was quite happy for me and my friends to spend plenty of money in this establishment to begin with. Then she turned on us for no reason at all, made some of my friends to feel belittled and humiliated and we were told to get out. Avoid this place at all costs!

New ownership....again.... It's awful. Full of chavs, wife beaters, druggies, pervs, council estate vibes. My parter and I visited to see if it improved.(reviewed last year, if you scroll down). We went to have a drink and play pool and the table had about 6 quid on, being hogged by some rough guys. We asked to have a go and they basically said no. You had "stacey" out front, talking loud on the phone, talking about her benefits and shouting at her boyfriend that she can do what the F she wants!!! It was very unwelcoming and felt incredibly uncomfortable throughout our stay. The selection of drinks was poor and when asked for a simple common bottled beer, the server had no idea what it was.... Rough.

Okay pub. Doesn't sell food aside from it's Thursday pizza van every week. Pizza was okay but they don't make gluten free pizza which I find strange in this day and age. I just had to watch everyone else eat their pizza. Ended up trying a slice of my friend's as I was starving. Pub is newly refurbished with new landlord. Welcoming atmosphere. Some people were quite drunk and rowdy which put me off staying longer.

Popped in as we were looking for a dog friendly pub. Helpful and polite bar staff, great food and a selection of animals out back to show the kids. Will return again for sure.

Great and fun atmosphere with friendly staff. Have done the Drag Queen pub quiz and comedy night so far. Recommend for fun girls' night. Loved the Halloween special pudding too.

Local pub thats been reinvented much better now better beer and selection service is a bit slow

Fab LGBT friendly venue, fun staff and good value food and drinks. BUT….Pub Quiz was way too slow (over 3 hours!). Make it finish much earlier so we can get last train home…! Awesome Drag acts!

Very quiet. Good live musician though.

Nice pint of Tribute. Comfy outside seating

Was pleasantly surprised to find this pub, much improved. The staff are so friendly and the atmosphere was great. We went to see the band play and were not disappointed. 'Gavin and his Rock n Roll Band' were brilliant (drummer Dave stole the show). I will be back!

Okay food, music etc was way too loud though. Especially for its location as its quite inconsiderate and doesn't really think of its neighbours. Too loud to hold any kind of conversation too. Think this pub should focus on being a quiet pub as there are kids I saw that love in the house next door and opposite who probably don't sleep because of this pub

Had food and drinks and both were superb. Nice comfy seating and friendly staff. Will definetly be back soon.

Friendly staff we had a pizza and chunky chip and a burger was delicious. Quiet on the day we came in but we would go again.

This was our first visit (although our friends had been before) and we were impressed with the level of friendly service and attention to detail. The pub is clean, bright and attractively presented, with both cosy and more spacious indoor areas to relax in, with plenty of outside seating as well. In particular, the family room is a great idea. Our food was very good - we had the roasts - but I have one quibble with this: please put more roast potatoes on the plate! Just three very small potatoes wasn't enough for us. On the other hand, the meat serving was so generous, we had to ask for doggie bags! We loved meeting Fenton, the friendly rescue fox, and the many ducks in the back garden. The pub runs regular fun events, and we especially enjoyed listening and singing along to the lovely female solo singer who entertained us all so well. I noted from another reviewer that they didn't like the loud (piped) music. Neither did we, on our arrival (it's a pet hate of mine), but a polite request to the staff to turn it down soon sorted that one out. We will definitely be back and have already recommended it to local friends.

Nice seating out front. Spacey inside. Good size covered smoking area out back, but could do with sprucing up a bit. The Fox kept in the garden was an interesting touch. Good staff. Good overall

Great pub with lovely staff and lots of entertainment. Loads of seating areas inside and out.Lovely ambience.

Best loaded nachos I have ever eaten the pulled pork was to die for , great selection of drinks the owner and he’s staff know what there doing especially great on a sunny day we’ll worth a visit 💪🏼

Awesome sauce pub. Welcoming and friendly. Staff n landlord are ok too

Visited sat bank holiday weekend , been meaning to come here for a while , great service and great team running the place , menu was good and great wiv my daughter wiv biscuit decorating and colouring pages , food was really good too. Will be back again.. manager/owner was brilliant

We especially enjoyed the drag quiz with Simon

The Mother’s Day meal was lovely. Thank you for the warm welcome and delicious food. The children loved looking at the lizard in the tank. We will definitely be back!

Really lovely pub & restaurant. Staff/Owners are exceptionally kind and helpful, excellent experience, food was great and looking forward to coming back!

Have know this pub for years and let's say wasn't a nice place to go to back in the day, but we went for a lovely family meal and was amazed at the change it was was lovely ambience, the food was amazing and Simon was the perfect host. Would definitely recommend a family meal here . Fantastic job Simon and your team 👏 👍

Loved the place. Was working round the corner, popped in for lunch and a beer. Great service and amazing food, highly recommend.

Amazing owners and great food! Would never to anywhere else again!

This pub is under new management, which was much needed. The atmosphere is great, nice friendly staff, good food at reasonable prices. A must vist for food if your in Epsom. They have loads of events on, drag quiz, open mic nights, libe music and bottomless brunches to name but a few along with amazing sunday roasts. We'll worth a visit.

Had my birthday and retirement party there was very very nice and would recommend for a function

Wonderful staff and service. Lovely owners, Great food and drinks prices. Came here with a small group of friends for the drag quiz and it was great fun... (We won! 🥳) An absolute breath of fresh air being able to feel safe and relaxed in a friendly environment! We will be back ! 5 Stars!*****

Wonderful staff and service. Lovely owners. Yummy food and drinks at fantastic prices. Came here with a small group of friends for the drag quiz and it was great fun... (We won! 🥳) An absolute breath of fresh air being able to feel safe and relaxed in a friendly environment! We will definitely be back very soon! ❤️ Thank you We will be back ! 5 Stars!*****

Ok. Bit pricey, 80s music, bit out-of-the-way but does open-mic nights which is great.

This pub is a hidden gem, really nice inside and out, and the staff and management are super attentive and friendly. Lots going on on Fridays and Saturdays with live music etc. Support your local pubs, thank you for effort team.

Good food. Welcoming. Quiz nights with twist and live music every Friday...yay

Great boozer, awesome staff and the food is top notch!

We recently had my husband’s 40th party at the pub and I couldn’t be happier that I chose the Blenheim. Nothing was a problem for Simon and his team! They were absolutely amazing- polite, friendly, professional and super helpful. They really helped make the party a success! And the food was delicious and very generous portions. Thanks so much again.

We only popped in for a couple of drinks on the off chance this evening and the atmosphere was great the welcome was brilliant and staff top notch. Will be definitely going there again

Pleasant pub for a nice quiet pint. Staff were friendly and nice. A pity a few beers weren't on tap on my visit.

Lovely pub, really friendly staff and fabulous food, this place should be busier. The three small dishes for £15 are actually enormous - and delicious!

We need to support our local pubs or they will disappear. We are lucky to have this great pub at the end of the road and with its friendly staff and fabulous food, it’s all a good local should be.

This is a fun pub that is located near my house. It also lives up to my expectations in every way possible as well. Recommended particularly. You must also try the food on offer. Come here for a nice relaxing pub lunch at lunchtime one quiet weekday or a chilled back and cozy pub dinner. Choose from the supplied pub food menus or order up your favourite from last time. To accompany your whole meal, pick a recommended strong red or white wine. I give the place five out of five marks for effort. AmazIng service to boot. Kid friendly.

At this pub you won't just find booze and food but animals, a custom built arcade machine and drag quizzes. This is such a unique and quirky pub, not just the interior but the staff as well. A lovely, diverse group of people. The landlord, Simon is a treasure. He's always happy to talk and get involved with his customers. He is also the source of the great entertainment when he dresses up in drag and hosts the quiz every other Thursday. This is a LQBTQ+ friendly pub and no one is made to feel excluded regardless of any thing. I feel very safe/ comfortable sitting by myself, having a drink and maybe a bite to eat. This isn't one of those places you walk into and all the regulars turn to stare at you as you walk in. I think there is no other pub like this in Epsom.

Cannot fault the service. Amazing pub with great staff! The food was beautiful and the atmosphere is so lively. Would definitely visit again

I had my daughters first birthday party here and the staff were exceptional and venue is amazing for parties ! Simon and his team were so helpful and everyone that came had a fantastic time. Thank you !

Went out for a meal and some drinks, and what a great night live singer who was fantastic, staff were very helpful and friendly, and the new food menu was delicious, we even had some cocktails that had smoke coming from them. Great night and a great atmosphere.

Totally Obnoxious manager Monday 4 of us out for drinks and dinners Food ok but not brilliant Tuesday closed (fuel crisis apparently) Wednesday still 4 of us No food after 2 drinks 9 pm he chose to close the bar asking 15 customers to leave When I asked manager why ? Was told not to challenge his decision When we left he followed us outside and shouted up the street if your not happy put it on trip advisor and don’t come back Guess he’s not happy in his job and looking for his area manager to sack him ! Hint hint !! No one should use this place !

Pleasant outdoor and indoor area, nice staff. Good experience

My family visited today for some late lunch (kids aged 2 and 10). The staff were very friendly, and the food was lovely! Reasonably priced and huge portions. Kids loved looking at the owl enclosure in the back garden (owl was asleep but fun trying to quietly see it) and managed to have a sneek peek at the rabbits, ducks, chicken and dogs that are residents at the pub. Would definately recommend, we will be returning.

Very impressed with service and food

Our first visit to the Blenheim, a lovely local pub, nice atmosphere and great Liver and bacon cassarole in fact all the food was nice and the beers to.

Lovely atmosphere, staff were very friendly, service was excellent and the food was amazing, the chef gets 10/10. Took my family there and everyone enjoyed it. We will definitely be going back, hopefully very soon. Well done to everyone for a really enjoyable experience.

Wandered into Blenheim tonight for a couple of pints...service 5 star lovely friendly staff highly recommend

This place has really turned around. On a sunny day with lots of customers and various characters, the waitresses and the owner didn't put a foot wrong, food, nibbles, drinks and even more drinks arrived at the table without delay. Kudos. Great work

Very good for a casual meeting with friends and family. Prices are kept within limits. Keep your eyes open for daily special offers. Sometimes you can get local specialties that you can't find anywhere else nearby.

While the service was ok the food was really disappointing. Peri peri chicken very dry, crispy pork belly bites were not crispy at all - 70% fat. Whole rack of BBQ ribs were hard. The side salad were so old that we did not dare...

Very good food great service was good

Absolutely first brilliant experience. Jamie, Erin and Alex were top notch on service, no request was too much and the speed of service was excellent. Thank you for a great night! I will definitely be back!

Yummy and friendly staff. Pub is clean and mgmt are on top of their game. Best in area

Lovely service and food, highly recommended

Couldn't say anything more, called in for a beer late in the evening, nice easy table service from a pleasant staff..

Had a very tasty lunch - very good value and wonderfully friendly and welcoming . Nothing too much trouble

I visited the Blenheim yesterday with friends and I felt I had to write a review as the food and service were fantastic! We sat outside under a gazebo due to covid restrictions but it was great -warm and dry which was handy when the...

Well done to the new team at the Blenheim. Good service, outdoor area works well, friendly efficient staff, good prices and the burgers are great

We have been here around five times now. We now only visit as its so close to home. We wouldn't actively choose to go here for a night out, nor would bring a bunch of friends here. The drink prices are neither cheap or expensive....

We've attended drag quiz twice and both times we've been serviced by Alex who has been amazing. Alex has regularly checked on us for top-up drinks and has been an overall amazing waitress. The drag night quizzes have been amazing and Alex has been so helpful and great at attending our table throughout the night! Book this place as soon as possible, the quizzes are fantastic with amazing waitresses!

I celebrated my birthday at the Blenheim this weekend and they were amazing! They gave us a lovely area in the back garden so we had space to spread out and all the staff were really friendly and attentive. The food is also delicious and everything is really well priced. Would recommend it to everyone. Thank you Blenheim team for making my day - you are the best!!

This in my personal opinion is the best local pub in the area, my favourite place in fact. The food is great and the atmosphere is always wonderful, not forgetting the selection of onsite animals and the regular Thursday night quizzes with special quiz nights...

Visited after the redecorations were complete and the pub reopened post lockdown, I've got to say love what they have done with the place, a lot more family friendly under new management, nice lighting and gazebo with outside heaters, great indoor facilities (for when the lockdown restrictions are lifted). Very spacious both inside and outside, and the staff are just great. Super helpful, very friendly and would recommend to everyone.

Fantastic Staff, Fantastic drinks menu and amazing Food. Simon was so attentive as were the rest of the staff. My new favourite pub in Epsom

Great venue . All the the staff are friendly and a great local pub. My food was superb . Wagu beef burger tasty. Just contact the put via the Facebook messenger to book a table.

Been to the quiz a few times. Its great fun, not too serious . The quiz master is brilliant and even better when he's in drag !!

The bar man was not xery nice when I went in as I went to go and sit down he said no no not that way . All he had to say is that that is all booked he was not very nice at all needs to do better. I will give 3 stars . But I have been in a few times before and the staff has been great.

Very friendly pub where the landlord seems to know everyone.

We are a family of 5, with 3 children of 14 m, 10 and 18 months. We had a fantastic time service was amazing, food was great quality and Value. Its a real family friendly venue. They also have lots of options food and drink...

Lovely interior, friendly staff and good food.

Lovely place to have fun in the night quiz and fantastic staff

Lovely atmosphere. Clean nice deco inside. Great customer service by the staff. Good food. Very different from the reputation I've been told before.

Great improvement on a local pub. Food not so good

After a rather chequered past. The Blenheim is thriving under new ownership. Our food was amazing. The beer was good and staff incredibly friendly. The pub is spotlessly clean with a wonderful community vibe. We were there for drag queen quiz night. Our friends and...

I was part of a baby shower party group and had a fabulous visit. The staff were attentive and the food were great. Couldn’t recommend more!

The Blenheim kindly hosted our friends baby shower and we had the most perfect Sunday afternoon. The place offers so much space for a private get together and we had plenty of room for games. The food was delicious and the staff were amazing, really friendly and attentive. Thank you so much!

Iv recently had the loveliest time for a friends baby shower. The staff couldn’t do enough for us , we had our own area and were so well looked after . Great covid process which made us feel safe and the food was unreal ....

It looks amazing I used to work there years ago but looks so good now

Much improved pub with very friendly staff. I have been a few times and enjoyed it, however, the last 2 times they have had no large bottles of prosecco, the pinot grigio and pinot grigio blush are pretty ropey, so not left with much choice of drink!

Pretty pub, well decorated inside n outside

Great quiz night Simon and his staff excelled themselves. Simon Also dressed up which was entertaining high boots and wig. He is such a character

Lovely food and friendly staff. What more can you ask for?

Nice pub for a few pints and a chin-wag. We've lived locally for nearly four years and it was always a bit of a dive. It seems the new management has cleared out the trouble. Hopefully other locals pop in and support it 👍🏻

Went with friends for Lunch. Only us for most of the time 12:30, but 3 or 4 others after a while. Not much atmosphere because it was mostly empty and its very large inside. Would be better maybe on a busy night. Service was prompt...

Terrible service after complaining about a meal after one bite. The plate was snatched away. There was no apology, or offering an alternative meal. Will not be going there again.

Just wanted to have something to eat, after asking twice for somebody to take our order and still ignored we left, but i didn't realise it really is a burger and chip pub menu...wouldnt go again...

fantastic ambience, great fun, good food and drink, friendly staff. Come and support your local pub.

I was a customer at the same time as the below negative reviews and they are writing out of spite; me and my family waited longer than them and we only waited 30 minutes as the place was quiet and a 2 hour wait is...
