Lovely meal, very welcoming staff. Able to eat being gluten free, dairy free AND vegetarian! Not just ‘eat’ but it was very tasty. Good prices. Were helpful putting a candle in my daughters’ pudding for her birthday. My free from pudding was gorgeous. Lovely generous helpings in the sundaes. Perfect for after a day in the theme park too before the journey home and skip the traffic.

Where to start well positives 1 star for friendly staff but there it ends. Went in for a family meal on a Thursday evening cue very drunk locals, copius swearing and tepid food. Now topped off with a Euro car parks parking fine - no obvious signage in car park, no obvious signage in the pub, no advice from bar staff. May be better at lunchtime but evenings for family I'd swerve. Oh and I'd walk unless you want a very expensive bite to eat.

All was good until we ordered the food. Not only did we have to wait over an hour because they forgot our order, the food that arrived was disgusting. A good place for a pint, but do yourself a favour and do not eat there.

Went for dinner before bingo where Karen is so good at putting this together every other Thursday and there was a birthday in which the bar staff made such an effort to make it more special. Food is really good. Lauren is so so good at her job and really makes a karaoke night more fun as she is so good at getting involved with not only loving her job but to give all customers her time and laughs with them all.

Would absolutely give it a no star. The main point of this place is to have drink and food. After an hour wait which it wasn’t busy either and only being served the kids meals, 10 minutes later questioned where the adult meals are, they had been forgotten. Gave up and had a refund on the adult meals.

Attended the Chessington Oak for a 60th birthday party also had great entertainment with the ub40 night on Saturday 3rd August 2024 - the staff were professional and pub was kept up to clean standards, the birthday girl had a fab night also. The buffet food was very good selection - Will be returning for day to day food and drinks on a normal day/evening😊

We celebrated a birthday there, and I must say, the service was truly exceptional. Despite the bustling atmosphere and the fact that one staff member (Val) was managing the floor alongside two new starters, he went above and beyond to ensure we had a wonderful experience. He frequently checked in on us, making sure we were enjoying ourselves and asking if we needed anything. The cocktails he crafted were nothing short of amazing, and his friendly banter kept us laughing throughout the evening. We left with smiles on our faces, grateful for such a memorable night.

I came in yesterday for a meal with 2 friends. Was told a wait time of 45 mins for food.. bit long but was happy to wait. I’d asked for 3 drinks & the bartender had to get the supervisor from delivering food to make the drinks. He whipped up 3 killer cocktails & appreciated our patience explaining as the bar staff are new… Food came out a bit later than 45 mins but we were offered a free side or drink for waiting.. instead we asked for a takeaway box as we had places to be after… good food, nice drinks but you could see this was service was a 1 man show & could do with an extra pair of hands. Nice vibe in the bar area / pool table where we sat.. will be back again.

I just flew back to the uk yesterday, popped in with my son for a bite to eat and a drink or two. There was one bar staff member young guy in his early 20s who actually knew what he was doing. I saw he had to be dragged back from serving tables because the other two bar staff members were swimming in orders and we wasn’t getting served I think he was a supervisor as he was all over the bar and flirt handling orders taking food to tables making sure everyone was served and got their food. My question is to management and owners why would you only have 1 person who actually knows what their doing in front of house? I presume a lack of care by the owners but service was good my son ordered a burger came out well.

Great if you want to take turns watching each other eat or pick 4 different meals because there wasn't much in stock. Followed by 2hr wait for food, the couple behind us were waiting 45mins for ice cream! On the upside, I learnt a few new swear words from the guy stomping around delivering food. The bar maid was nice and polite, and the other staff were friendly enough just a shame the other fella had the customer service skills of spitting cobra. Better off at beefeater

Food was absolutely fine but having a server swearing, in front of my kids ain't on. Young lad, early 20's. Wasn't our fault they were low on staff but to be swearing when delivering drinks to the table and at the bar is disgusting. We spent a lot of money, with 10 people dining and was shocked at the service. As we are staying around here for two days we came back the next day because the food was good, hoping it was just an off day, the same server was in a better mood, still not great but certainly better but the wait on food was over 1 1/2hrs!

We had dinner here last weekend as a large group (9 adults, 5 kids and a baby) after a day at Chessington World of Adventures. I appreciate that they were able to accommodate us on a Saturday night as nowhere else near the theme park was able to. The service was excellent - our server Jack was rushed off his feet attending to us and the chef Carlos did a good job keeping up with so many different dishes. Food was decent, standard family pub fare and hit the spot after a long day. I think everyone was happy.

The burger... oh my God... an hour wait in a deserted pub for a burnt bun charred and disgusting. Yet the chips stone cold. No check back. No one could care less. A table of 9 people adds 1 to 1.5 hour delay to a simple chicken burger. Told the guy it was burnt and hideous - but he laughed and walked off saying "yeah I'll let the chef know"!! Place is empty as can see in photos, imagine the delay if 2 or 3 tables turned up! No one checked if food was good, but even if complain are dismissive. Recommendation: Save your money, do not visit. Not worth it.

This is clearly a local pub serving food in a rather tired grey building with similarly tired decor. But see beyond that, and it is friendly and clean...and has really good food from a wide menu that will please all tastes. Plus the prices are very reasonable. Service was pleasant, but meal was slow to arrive. Perhaps it was the time of day midweek. There is a small car park for patrons. I will be going back.

I recently had the pleasure of being served by Suzan at a sizzling pub, and the experience was exceptional. From the moment we arrived, Suzan’s warm and friendly demeanor made us feel right at home. Suzen's service was prompt and efficient, ensuring our drinks were never empty and our food arrived hot and delicious. Her professionalism and genuine care for her customers truly stood out. She managed to create a welcoming atmosphere that made our visit memorable. Overall, Suzan is a fantastic asset to the pub. Her dedication to providing top-notch service and her positive attitude make her a standout in the hospitality industry. I highly recommend seeking out Suzen for an outstanding dining experience.

We met the new Manager Carlos who is so pleasant and friendly and advised us on what to eat. The food was amazing and cooked beautifully so much so, we told the chef of this who was also so friendly! They have introduced special events throughout the week that has never been done before which is nice to see. Overall, really happy that Carlos has made it great again and cannot wait to return!

Our family were staying at chessington and we needed some dinner and this is the only place that had availability. This soon be ame clear why. We waited at the bar for around 5 mins to let them know we had a reservation and to be shown to our table. We were then seated and ordered at the bar. Whilst waiting for our food it became aparrant it was bingo night ad a lady shouted "SHUTUP" "I WONT STARR TILL YOUR ALL QUIET". Very odd. We then waited a little under 90 mins for 2 basic meals and 2 sides. Unfortunately the pizza was a £1 Chicago town pizza. No one came to ask of our food was ok. We left rather quickly as I felt like I was in an episode of shamless

On the 27th of April 2024 in the evening we came to this pub to celebrate my wife’s birthday with a group of friends and family. We ordered cocktails called sex on the beach and the supervisor that day did not know how to do drinks at all and cocktails I think it’s appalling and when you tell them about it and email the pub they respond to you and it’s all complete lies from the pub side what they said and I have pictures to prove it. This is what you call sex on the beach cocktail and not even using cocktail glasses, this is how they make their money people but not using the right glasses

If you love the steamed-up windows of a traditional chippy on a cold evening, and a paper wrapper brimming with tasty chips, Cod upon Thames is for you. The staff are friendly and chatty, the fish is good, the chips are even better (or should that been even batter?), and it’s only the stark décor and brutalist interior that denies this little local treasure the full star rating. Maybe it's the oil, or the way they cut them, but the chips are plump and flavoursome. Burnished metal walls make it feel like you’re in a shipping container, and the counter is so high it’s only possible to glimpse the staff. But let’s focus on the food. It’s the usual mixture of bangers (some in batter), chicken, burgers and fish ‘n’ chips. Standard fish and chips is under seven quid, pies are £2.40, and you can get chip butties (£1.60), cheesy chips for £3 and standard chips – a good-sized portion – for £1.80. Extras include onion rings, mushy peas and baked beans, and Cod upon Thames also does pineapple fritters and curry sauce. Soft drinks are housed in a large fridge at the far end.
