First impressions from the outside are really off putting. The front carpark is partially blocked by an old estate car and the back carpark almost full of scrap delapidated vehicles of all types. There are fridge and washing machine and kegs scattered about the grounds as well. This may have something to do with storm damage that’s mentioned but it should be cleared away completely not left to walk past on way to restaurant. Why the owners would want this as a reflection of their business beggars belief. Inside it’s supposed to be in the process of renovation but from the front entrance onwards the decor is very tatty and once again sets a poor impresssion. The food is ok but as someone else has mentioned the green veg is a mishmash of sorts and left a pool of water at bottom of plate. It’s needs bringing up to date fast and the carpark cleared to become a venue that you would like to return to.

This is not a pub for a celebration meal. Mothers Day family lunch celebration was ruined in so many ways, it wd take me too long to give all the details. Whilst the staff were welcoming & trying very hard, it was just terrible in so many ways. Even though we were asked to pre order all of our food, thr first course took over 40 mins to arrive. There was 35mins between 1st & 2 course. The whole meal took 2hrs 45 mins & we are not slow eaters. There was a hair in my mushroom & olive pate. We ordered 2 GF meals for people with coeliac & they kept forgetting & bringing non GF bread & Yorkshire pudding. The sirloin steak was tough, the chips frozen & tasteless. Apple crumble was obviously out of a tin as the fruit was so sweet. Though the custard & crumble was nice. The veg with the roast was all over cooked, soggy roast potatoes, dried up carrots & a weird green mess of veg which included cabbage, beans,Brussels sprouts & asparagus all watery & mixed together. This place is very unloved & it shows. My advice -stay away.. and if the owners are ruse about our review, it is because they have no idea about how poor their service is. They looked really shocked when we told them on the day. But they did give us 10% off our bill, but that did not make up for a spiked day

The owners were very pleasant and even taxied us around a bit. The food is very good. Plenty of it and so much choice. We stayed 2 nights in Room 12. I must admit the surroundings around the rooms need to be tidied up. Old cars and lorries do not make for a nice view. The room was very clean though, which after all is the most important. We could not fault the staff and food.

The Open Mike evening was an incredible informal evening of talented musicians and quality restaurant menu. It was fun all the way! Thank you. Also, we shared a wonderful 80th birthday celebration where we had a complete section to ourselves. The caring attention, quality food, great service, excellent value enabled us to enjoy our own music and sharing of memories…even the family pet was allowed to stay! Highly recommend. Barbara Clark

When I’m with my dad this is one of our favourite pubs for lunch. Always a lovely welcome and we love the home cooking instead of standard defrosted microwaved fare in other pubs. Today dad had ham hock hash followed by a vegan knickerbocker glory and I had the vegan pie of the day, “chicken” which came with fabulous mashed potatoes and veggies and plenty of gravy. Everything was perfect.

A family business hit by the cover pandemic during which it received little financial support, but with their strong determination and character the owners Tracey and John will make the most of this restaurant's potential.Smiling faces, super service, excellent home cooking food at very reasonable prices is the strength on which they can build. When finances allow for the dining room to be redecorated and attractive fixtures installed, this restaurant will be a winner and highly recommended. I look forward to coming back. Good luck!

Last night 10 of us celebrated our friend's Birthday at this pub on Godstone Green. We go here regularly, as the hosts John and Tracey, and the food, are both excellent. Last night they surpassed themselves, my fish n chips were the best I’ve ever tasted and their steaks with crispy onions are divine. In these troubled times when pubs are trying to get back on their feet, it doesn’t hurt to give them a shout-out, especially when you get great service, food, and a calming atmosphere.

This is the 3rd pub in Godstone my friend and I have been. Unfortunately didn’t get off to the best start as I pulled in directly behind a lady in a large vehicle who then suddenly stopped mid way into the carpark, started reversing (evidently having not seen me waiting behind her) and then became angry and rude gesticulating at me as I sat there patiently trying to figure out what was happening. Slightly surprised to then discover she worked there! Was about to suggest going elsewhere to my friend but then ?Freddie came over and was very welcoming and friendly so decided to stay. Continuing on the positives, the small dining area was nice and clean. The beetroot and goats cheese tart was seriously good - beautifully presented, really delicious with a varied salad and full of flavour. The food alone would have got 5*. They were clearly gearing up for some live music in the main area which looked fun but we didn’t stay for that. The bill when it came was good value. We were surprised to see the service charge included without an indication of it being optional or discretionary. That said, we would have willingly paid more than 10% as the service we received once inside was perfect. After an upsetting first impression I was glad we stayed as we had a really nice meal. I just wished it had got off to a better start as made for a bit of an awkward atmosphere for me.

The presentation of the food, the huge portions, the passionate chef, the lovely staff (family run and very warm feel) ..makes this place, BRILLIANT! Plus the Veggie/vegan options are by far the best around.. hotdogs! Ice-cream sundaes! Vegan cheese board... There is no end to the wonders of their menu. You have to go and support! 🌱 Plus, they have a lovely cat around called Donut.. so you might even get a stroke! 🐾 I'm so glad to have found this place and I'm drooling looking at the pictures I have. Thank you !

And we were in for a genuinely delightful surprise, I hardly know where to start, lovely friendly welcome, delicious full English, OJ tea and toast.

Since lockdown started, we have had many meals from the Godstone inn, eaten as takeaways. Their roasts are consistently good, as are their vegetarian options. The fish and chips are also good with a large portion of well-cooked fish, a choice of mushy or garden peas and their own, fresh, tartare sauce These are excellent value at the special takeaway price.

During lockdown and continuing, we have been taking advantage of the superb food via their delivery service. The burgers are some of the best I’ve ever had!For our anniversary we didn’t fancy going out for a meal so ordered a couple of the most succulent burgers you will ever have. Absolutely delicious as always, but more importantly was the thoughtfulness and generosity of the staff who also brought a card, a bottle of bubbly and some chocolates. This act of kindness really made our day, and I can’t thank them enough. We are so lucky to have such a fantastic restaurant locally.

I stopped here for lunch with my parents and son on a trip to Godstone where my dad grew up.As soon as we arrived, we had such a warm welcome with excellent and attentive service (sorry but we didn't get the young guy's name) where nothing was too much trouble. We sat outside as the weather was lovely. The lunch was delicious with generous portions all round.We were able to leave our car in the car park whilst we looked around Godstone after lunch and upon returning, were met by the owners who again were so welcoming, asking us about our day. We will definitely return and choose to stay overnight to explore more of the village.

I booked a table for bank holiday Monday & every conceivable contact details were asked for & given. I was also advised that the Government Scheme wasn't being given on that day but we wanted to go there for their recommended fish & chips, so it didn't matter.My husband & I turned up to be told that they were shut & always were on Mondays. I explained my phonecall confirmation & was asked if we had travelled far, which is besides the point, & then blamed a temp for taking the booking.He didn't check to see if we had been booked into another day by mistake & was totally disinterested.I did email my concerns with the restaurant about taking bookings that that they can't fullfil but have not received an answer.It's such a shame but won't be going there again.

Living only 5 minutes walk from the inn/restaurant means it's nice and easy to go back to which will definitely be done. Had Sunday lunch today, plates piled high with piping hot portions of roast beef and plenty of veg, roast spuds, yorkshire puds etc, also an extra jug of gravy provided which we didn't ask for - nice touch. Only made one mistake, we both had a starter which meant neither of us fancied a dessert because we were too full, might have to skip the starter next time and try one. Smiling and attentive staff made it a very enjoyable lunchtime.

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown we used the Godstone Inn take away service last night. Highly recommend. We ordered 3 fish & chips, 1 cheeseburger and fries and a meat delight pizza. The portion sizes + presentation equally decent. So fresh and super tasty! Delivery service was an added bonus. We’ll definitely be recommending to our local friends and ordering again. Take away menu has a varied selection of starters, mains to suit everyone, and the most popular type of desserts (TIP - main portions are really generous so might be worth noting as, unfortunately, we were all too full to order desserts this time around). The after dinner chocolate mints were a lovely touch with ‘stay healthy and safe’ written on the bag. Thanks so much to all the team. We will definitely be ordering again!

This family run restaurant offers a really good lunch menu alongside its a la carte. My wife and I both chose a whitebait starter which came with home-made tartare sauce. The coating was crisp and the whitebait cooked to perfection. The main courses did not disappoint. Portions were ample which meant we could not tackle to dessert menu.As far as the staff are concerned, they were attentive, efficient and charming.

Menu seemed to be aiming at gastropub, the biggest plus being a range of vegan food. Took the trouble to book, though they had lost the booking when we turned up. Both the lamb and the steak were unavailable. Food OK but nothing to write home about. Service on the slow side. Didn't feel inclined to bother with dessert or coffee. Surprised to see it virtually empty on a Saturday night, it was always packed under the previous owners. Not a disaster but not somewhere we would make an effort to go back to - the pub opposite would be more likely to get our custom.

We went to Godstone Inn for a friend’s birthday meal. The vegan menu was extensive (I think 7 starters, 7 mains, 6 desserts). I had cheese scone with portobello mushroom and tomatoes cooked on the vine as a starter; mushroom, ale and lentil pie with veg, cheesy mash and gravy main. The food was great and portions so large I couldn’t finish the main and skipped dessert! My partner had a vegan prawn cocktail and Thai green curry for main. Our first time there, but will definitely return.

I last visited the Coachhouse/Godstone Inn a few years ago. It’s now under new ownership and the interior has been somewhat modernized but still has a charm about it. The menu is more casual eating now - I can remember ordering Steak Diane cooked at your table and a sweet trolley coming round with traditional desserts. Whilst I missed those touches, the new staff were incredibly friendly ad nothing was too much trouble. The food was too a very good standard too and lots of vegan options.

My partner and I returned to the Coach House Restaurant at the Godstone Inn for her birthday having not visited this restaurant for around two years. Upon arrival we immediately noticed some change in the decorations and a completely revised menu including improved options for vegetarians and vegans. When we commented upon this we learned that a new family had bought this family-owned resturant approximately a year ago after it had been closed for a few months, and that they strongly believed in providing a wider menu for their customers.

A fun evening with friends took a strange turn. Instead of a vegan taster menu, we waited an hour for our food and we're given a lecture and shown a film on how we should become vegan to save the planet.

If I could rate this place a zero I would.this was booked as a meal for my 30th birthday for all the family to enjoy. We waited around in the front room for over an hour before we even got seated . Drinks took forever and starters were ordered before we even sat at our table. Starters were bland but the roast dinners were totally un edible. After sending them back, because everything was cold we were given bowls of raw veg that was burnt. The Yorkshire's looked and tasted like they had been eaten and spat back out. The manager then said she tried the veg herself and they tasted ok to her . I can only guess she has some sort of oral disfunction. Anyhow. After all complaining we were given a 10 percent discount ( how kind of them ) and still after expressing our feelings on how awful the meal was , the owner seemed to think that hiding away upstairs, and showing a total lack of professionalism and no sign of concern was the right thing to do, well that to me shows he's probably embarrassed. And so he should be . AVOID THS PLACE . Go for a mcdonalds instead

Just come back from lunch at the Coach House. Table for 9 people, booked for 1pm. We were a party of 8 adults and one child. There was no children’s menu, but they said they would do a half portion instead. I booked by email and was sent the Christmas Festive menu. When we got to the restaurant, we were given the Sunday roast menu, and when we asked, we were told the Festive menu was not available on Sundays. There was no fish on the Sunday menu, but the chef offered to cook salmon. We sat in the lounge area and had a drink. No one came to show us to our table, so we went to the restaurant area ourselves. It then took ages for someone to take our drinks order, and for the drinks to arrive. We had to ask someone to take our food order. We all had a main course. That took a long time to arrive. The roast beef was very dry, but the rest of the meals were fine. We had to again ask for someone to take our order for desserts. One person ordered dessert, two ordered dessert and coffee, and three others ordered just coffee. The coffees eventually arrived. After We had finished them, we had to chase again for the desserts. Apparently the order had been misplaced. We complained. Then we asked twice for the bill. The desserts were removed from the bill. However, we were charged full price for the child half portion. When we complained about that, the server went to give a refund, but had no change in the till. By then we had been there for three hours 25 minutes, and had run out of patience, so we just said forget it, and left. We will not be returning. A real shame, as this was a pre-Christmas family meal, which ended up being a complete disaster. There were plenty of staff, and only 4 tables the whole time we were there. It just seemed the staff were inexperienced and had no proper direction or guidance.

I just live up the road from the restaurant and since it’s reopened I’ve been back twice, once on a weekday and once on Sunday just gone to celebrate a family birthday.

Excellent stay. Very friendly and approachable new owners. Have to say the food was superb especially the cooked breakfast. We had stayed here before and the previous owners only offered continental breakfast. The rooms offer very good value. The on site restaurant has a good selection of dishes to choose from and the service is excellent.

The Godstone Hotel (Coach House) restaurant reopened its doors last night. We had been visiting the restaurant for special occasions since we married 39 years ago and were disappointed when it closed, so to some extent we wanted to see if the food was as good as it had been all those years ago. John and Tracey (the new owners) have modernised the restaurant slightly but it has still retained it’s charm and is warm and welcoming. The hosts were very attentive - nothing was too much trouble - and the meal we had was delicious. We will definitely be returning. Well done.

Sadly this restaurant ceased trading in spring 2018. The hotel/accomodation side also closed. The younger generation of the family run business sold it, no doubt it will become flats!

During a meal with friends we complained that one of the two steaks ordered was tough. The owner tried the steak for himself, in front of us at the table, announcing it was fine. Essentially accusing us of exaggerating!! Unbelievable behaviour and aggressively argumentative, totally unnecessary. Spoilt the evening and will never revisit.

My wife and I were invited to join her aunt at her 90th Birthday dinner at this restaurant. There were about about 23 guests in all.

We have been irregular visitors to the Coach House for 25 years, but chose to have a nostalgic Valentine's Day lunch. The food, service and ambience was as good as the first time we visited all those years ago. Bravo the Coach House.

After landing at Gatwick and hiring a car, my wife and I were looking for somewhere to have a nice Sunday lunch. The coach house at Godstone delivered as we had a lovely Sunday lunch with good service and made our journey onwards feeling very fulfilled.

For the second year running, we went for dinner on Christmas Eve and it was as excellent as ever. Great welcome, great menu, great atmosphere in an intimate and 'screaming child'-free environment.

We've been visiting the Coach House on special occasions for several years and have never been disappointed. The food and service are always of the highest order, with a friendly welcome in peaceful (genuine) old-world surroundings. Unlike many restaurants, there's always enough on your plate to satisfy a healthy appetite, and if that's not enough, fill up on one of the spectacular desserts. The fixed-price menu is excellent, but consider spending just a little more (and really it is only a little) to sample the delights of 'a la carte'.

We had a family get together in our favourite local spot! We have had large celebrations, small celebrations and just out for a good meal at The Coach House. We have never been let down! Terrific value for money, I even queried the bill as it seemed too cheap! The set menu is good value, between us we had chicken, liver and pork after a variety of starters. Lime and basil ice cream much enjoyed! Desserts delicious. Couldn't fault welcome, service or pre meal drinks. Thank you to all staff.

Went for Sunday Lunch yesterday with friends. The food was excellent, as was the service. I had pork, which was beautifully cooked, plenty of vegetables, followed by profiteroles which were to die for. There were seven of us, and not one single complaint between us. The restaurant was packed, says it all really. I am looking forward to having my 70th birthday lunch at The Coach-House, with family and friends in a few weeks time.

We went on a Friday evening and had the two course set menu. There was a good choice of dishes but only one for vegetarians. The welcome and pre dinner drink was a lovely relaxing experience before being seated in the main restaurant. The service was impeccable and the food was perfectly cooked. I would rather come back here than to other restaurants (posh or not!) in the Reigate to Godstone area. A good place to have a special occasion or treat yourself to a nice meal.

Quality food and service but little choice if you are vegetarian. Certainly on the Sunday we visited. Excellent roast beef but very bland one choice vegetarian option. Clearly very popular for the majority. Should be more flexibility on the fixed price so that a starter may be substituted for a dessert.

A traditional restaurant. Polite, friendly attentive staff. Food was superb. My French onoin soup & my wifes prawn & salmon starters were terrific. The main courses - sea bream for me & steak & kidney pudding for my wife - were cooked to perfection. The steak & kidney pudding was huge & beat my wife. The cassata dessert I had was to die for & from the look on my wifes face the creme brulee was excellent. Thoroughly recommended.

Nina and I have lunched here before with friends, so it was an obvious midway between us choice to meet other friends.We like old fashioned - whether its service, ambience, or whatever. The Coach House at the Godstone Hotel has it in spades. A nice lounge to have an aperitif in as you look at the menus, proper linen, table settings, and service, great value food (at lunchtime when we went two courses for £15-95 each), and lovely old beams and graceful feel to the dining room.All four of us enjoyed our meal immensely, service was excellent, and from the number of similarly aged diners there, on a Tuesday lunchtime, very popular which is always a good sign.

Hadn't been here for a long while and wondered why on earth we'd left it so long. If you're looking for competitively-priced traditional, English food with a continental twist then this is it! We came for Sunday lunch and were impressed by both the quality of food and service. My wife had the lamb whilst I opted for roast beef with "all the trimmings". I was delighted to find that having requested it rare, not only was it served rare but the meat was very succulent and tender too. This was followed by desserts from the trolley which may sound a bit old fashioned but at least you get to view the fabulous array from which to make your choice. The restaurant is usually supervised by a French proprietor who clearly runs a tight ship with largely permanent continental staff who are highly professional and clearly enjoy working here. With so many alternatives in the area it's easy to take one's eye off the ball but this place is a real gem offering excellent value. Definitely worth returning to.

Lovely restaurant, we recommend it. Always a warm welcome (visited 4 times). Had a table of 11 the first time we went for my sisters birthday - they really make birthdays special. We have since celebrated my husband’s birthday in there and taken 2 groups of friends with us - everyone’s been impressed with their food, service and the live music. Owners and staff are always friendly and attentive. Between us we’ve tried a lot on the menu and it’s never disappointed. Husband thought the calves liver was good but would’ve preferred it a little pink. The only disappointing thing is that they shut at 10.

We've been twice this week, it's so lovely. The decor is beautiful, the service is great and the prices are very reasonable. There is also a huge selection to choose from on the menu. The Mr Whippy ice cream is one of the best I've ever had, I would definitely recommend!

Every kokoro I’ve been to gives your katsu curry separately, even with a mixed main. The Caterham manager demands that the sauce is drizzled into the main to save costs. People enjoy consistency, you don’t see McDonald’s packing their fries with the burger! Useless. Forget Caterham Kokoro, not worth the hassle.

I visited the Whyteleafe Park Pavilion on 14/11/22 with a couple of friends. Excellent hidden gem for good food and coffee. We had coffee, a bit of carrott cake and tried their Christmas panini - all of it was brilliant. Would thoroughly recommend as a place to visit for a coffee/cake/lunch, before walking round the park or heading up to the beautiful Riddlesdown Common.
