The Curious Pig in the Parlour in Tandridge

We visited the Curious Pig for dinner on a Monday evening when we had friends visiting from Scotland as it is one of our favourite local restaurants and has a menu which caters for all tastes.We booked online which was very straightforward. On arrival the car park was moderately busy and we had no trouble finding a space.We were warmly welcomed and shown through to our table. As is the norm there was sanitiser available at the entrance and the staff were wearing masks. The restaurant was busy and probably about two thirds of the tables were occupied. As always the interior was bright and welcoming.Menus were brought and our drinks order taken once we were seated. Drinks were served promptly and we settled down to peruse the menu. When our order was being taken it became apparent that a large part of the menu was unavailable, no mussels due to having run out and no pizzas as pizza chef on day off. The non-availability of the mussels caused a major issue for one of our party who is pescatarian but the staff were very helpful and they were able to find something to their taste.I ordered the sausage roll starter and the cod and chips for mains, while the remainder ordered their own personal preferences from the available dishes.Starters were served within a timeframe that allowed for them to be cooked and were excellent. Mains followed immediately our starters were cleared and were beautifully presented and very obviously freshly cooked. The fish was coated in a light crispy batter and was absolutely enormous and cooked to perfection. It rates as one of the largest portions I have been served in a restaurant. Chips were excellent and the tartare sauce had just the right amount of bite.Throughout staff were superb, making sure drinks were topped up, meal was to our satisfaction and bringing additional portions of the various condiments that accompanied our choices.We thoroughly enjoyed our meal and our guests were very envious that we have such a great restaurant in the village. Will we visit again? Of course but not on a Monday or without checking that the full menu is available so that tastebuds are not disappointed.I have not downrated my review despite the issues with the availability of items on the menu as the helpful staff and excellence of the fare ensured we had a very pleasant meal

We stayed overnight at this Marston's inn before a flight from Gatwick. The plus points were good staff - the Deputy Manager was really on the ball, a nice breakfast and good value for the location. That said it all felt a bit frayed at the edges and my rump steak supper was pretty ropey. The room was reasonably well appointed but very small and had a rather stale smell to it. Obviously a flagship inn with a massive food and beverage turnover but needs a bit of tlc.

food was nice, staff were polite, waitresses were friendly and always smiling and attentive, lovely inside and well spaced tables. welcoming.

Really nice country pub , if you need airport parking its ideal , Our room was really clean , stayed for evening meal food is really good , nice breakfast staff are really friendly . Thank you

Called in early evening for a main course and drink . Fish and chips and the house burger . Burger was fine but the battered fish was clearly well over cooked , and not at all enjoyable . What chef would plate up a meal that is clearly far from palatable ? Anyone knows what a good well cooked meal looks like ! To their credit , they removed the fish meal from the bill . The thing is that with so many venues to choose from , why would we go back to somewhere that has so little regard for delivering a quality offering .

I would love to give a higher rating as this is a very local pub to us and the garden is nice, but unfortunately the last two visits have been fairly shambolic. First visit we were met at the entrance with a very agitated manager who told us they were very busy and didn’t have any tables (although pub was nearly empty and we only wanted a drink), we eventually got ‘allowed’ in after making it clear we were only after a quick drink (we weren’t asked if we were eating or just drinking). There was an argument about the food between another customer and the same manager within ear shot of us during our visit and didn’t sound very professional at all.Our second visit, one of the two ales was off and no pizzas available (reason we came). We left and ate elsewhere.In summary, lots of potential to be a nice pub but doesn’t seem well run and food/drink offerings patchy. Won’t be rushing back.

We popped in for a meal after visiting Hever castle. Lovely meals all round and the service was excellent. I would definitely recommend.

I've been to the Pig in the evenings several times - before the lock downs. Since then I've visited it three times for lunch - in the garden.The food at the Curious Pig was extremely good each time and sevice friendly and efficient. The environment felt extremely safe and pleasant.We'll be going again.

We all had the pizzas which were excellent, what we didn't know was that they were 2 for 1. It didn't mention this on the menu we were offered, and nor did the staff mention it, so it was a nice bonus to see the discount on our bill.The deserts were rather disappointing and unseasonal, I would expect fresh berries with the eaton mess, not "poached" ones. The other choices were a bit generic and uninspiring.I would definitely return for the pizzas though.

Great service, great atmosphere! Georgia was very friendly and welcoming! Lovely food! Especially the steaks and burgers!

Really bad meal.Bad front of house when turned up. No outside seating when we booked it. Wedding and told reduced menu. Should have cancelled all reservation if couldn’t cater to needs of other customers. Starters bad. Fish main returned.Staff rude when things not going their way. Refused us drink no reason at 10pm. Worst experience worst food and will never return!!!! Awful food. CrapService and unfortunately poor management fromThe outset!

We went to the curious Pig with two other couples-including my son who had just got engaged ! having travelled from Devon, and not seen any family for over a year.Lovely table, great staff, and should be wonderful food !The kitchen was really struggling with staff at the time we went, and some of our meals had to go back, and then reappear -we totally understand the difficulties being experienced by the Curious Pig, and were happy to wait, and when the food came to it was superb -we did not mind waiting, and the manager dealt with the situation in an exemplary manner !We would not hesitate to return, and it will be our restaurant of choice when we return in the AutumnPeople should be more understanding of just how awful and difficult it is for a business like this, and relax ! It is worth it ! well done Curious Pig, and hope the rest of the busy season is good for you !

Came here for an impromptu meal with my wife and wish we hadn’t. Ordered the burger which was dry and burnt. My wife the butternut squash curry which was bland and straight out of the microwave. Service was OK, overall feel not like it used to be. Not one for leaving negative reviews but really was such a disappointing meal and not worth the £80 we paid. Won’t be coming back..

We stayed at this lovely little hotel for one night and I’m sorry it wasn’t longer. The room was spotless and comfortable. The bar and restaurant were good value for money and breakfast really good.But what makes this place is the staff. They are a terrific young team. Nothing is too much trouble- they are friendly and kind.We’re definitely coming back.

The management don't seem to know what they are doing and are very rude. Went at 6:30 and they had closed the kitchen and had no snacks available. This place used to be better than anywhere in the area and now it seems to be the worst.

I can’t fault the staff! The service was brilliant. I had a slight complaint as my burger came out a little pink in the middle and I’m pregnant so was unable to eat it. I let the staff know and they were very apologetic and handled it so well. I got a fresh plate remade and well done. The Mac and cheese side was AMAZING!!! So although my meal wasn’t perfect at first I feel the service was amazing and I’ll still be a customer in the future.

My wife and I stayed for one night and from arrival on the Friday we had a tremendous time. All the staff were superb very helpful and attentive special mention goes to the you g lady that served us for are evening meal and also our breakfast. I believe she might be from Eastern Europe. She is a credit to the establishment. The food was superb and the room we stayed in was also great value for the money. One or two small things that need looked at. The fan in the bathroom doesn’t work and also the coffee maker in the room doesn’t have a long enough lead so that you can plug it in and use it on the table. We will definitely return and many thanks for a great nights stay.

visited with my friends for a drink on my birthday. the male managers attitude was frankly appalling made us feel very unwelcome. meanwhile the other bar staff were very nice and friendly and willing to make you feel welcome. he unfortunately ruined our experience, would not recommend the pub to anyone else from now on

We came here for some lunch and drinks, the food was lovely and the girl serving us was amazing, so helpful and accommodating, however, the person I assumed was manager was not friendly and extremely off putting to us and what it looked like, to the other customers also, a shame as is such a lovley place which seems to be dragged down by poor management, I will not be returning

Teenagers were both out for the evening, so we seized a last minute dinner date opportunity! Our first time eating here for a few years. Good sized meals, enjoyable and everything was hot. Waitress was friendly and accommodating. We will be back!

Went to have an evening meal with friends last Tuesday. We were well received by friendly, helpful staff. I asked for the British Cote De Boeuf (priced £31.95), medium, as did one of my friends. The rest went for the Fillet steak.Food arrived and I can honestly say it was the worst and most inedible steak I have ever had. Hardly able to cut with steak knife and impossible to chew - all of it. Was quite unable to 'dissect' any meat away from the gristle. Had to return it.Staff were very polite and exchanged it for a Fillet steak (which was OK'ed by the other friends as edible).Would have given a lower rating but gave 2 stars because staff were nice. Never going back again.

Visited with a group of friends for our first get together since the start of Covid. Food was good, service pretty efficient given how busy they were. Lots of lovely, comfortable outside/covered space. Covid friendly. I had a steak, which can be luck of the draw but mine was good - hardly any fat on it at all and cooked well. Failed to let a friend know they had run out of Yorkshire puddings which she was a little disappointed about when her roast arrived and service slowed a little towards the end but we were there 4 or so hours and they were closing so understandable. Only one option for dessert by the time we ordered but we went with it and it was DELICIOUS (honeycomb brownie) And it was a Sunday evening so not too shocked. Overall, I will be back and would recommend.

Met family here 2 days after reopening. It was quite chilly outside but still good to be eating out! The pizza was really good as was my steak sandwich with chips. Looking forward to coming back and trying the pizza which they cook in a pizza oven. Service and presentation was very good.

We came without a booking, the manager on duty was really welcoming and managed to get us a table. We had a wheelchair with us and the pub was accessible by the side entrance and the front entrance. The food was amazing, even though it was raining, the outside seating was lovely and warm and covered. We had the best time. Thank you.

Really nice pub and I would definitely recommend. Plenty of parking and you will most likely need to drive to get here unless you live in Copthorne. I had accidentally booked for 2 instead of 4 and the team very kindly helped us out which we were very grateful for. Our waitress was the nicest person ever and was really helpful. Really nice outdoor area that was heated which was nice because it was quite chilly. The menu was a little disappointing and there wasn't much that took our fancy. The pizza was amazing though. Two of our meals out of 4 arrived at a good time, but the two other meals arrived about 10/15 minutes later than the first two. The staff were really apologetic about this though and kindly gave us a discount on our bill.Not sure what our waitresses name is, but she was amazing. Thank you for having us!

Having heard great things about this restaurant, I was looking forward to it. On the evening we dined outside it was chilly. Service was OK (but it took ages to get our bill); The portions of the mains and the desserts were smaller than the price would suggest. But the quality and taste of the four meals we had was exceptional. I can't wait to dine inside whilst dining outside on a long summer evening will be amazing. Book your table well ahead.

What a lovely dining experience outside, we sat under the pergola it was great with lights and very well heated.The staff were amazing, especially Sylvia our waitress she was extremely attentive and looked after us very well. The Manager Zoe was so accommodating and made our first night out out! great.The food was absolutely lovely with such a range of dishes to choose from.We will definitely be back… Very well done to Zoe and the Team.

This pub has really created a lovely dining experience outside, and really shown perseverance through the pandemic. Our group sat in the teepee tent, which was lovely with lights, heaters, and decorative vines up the sides of it. The service was excellent and we got our food and drinks very quickly. The pie was absolutely lovely and brownie amazing too, pizzas were great (as they always are!), keep up the great work guys ! :)

Great pub food. Sunday roasts are great sizes and extra sides can be added. Prepare your visit by booking ahead, especially Sunday lunch!

Food is ok, pizzas are better rated there than the normal menu... new outside area however is lovely for new pandemic conditions with heaters. Service was good whilst pub was still busy!

for the first time in 12 years my wife and i were able to celebrate our anniversary (now kids have grown up) away for the weekend, i was recommended the curious pig by a friend who had been previously. what an amazing set up !! beautiful people and surroundings.we checked into the parlour suite Saturday afternoon, which was so welcoming and luxurious. after a couple hours of real relaxation we ventured downstairs to the bar for a pre dinner drink again such relaxing surroundings, the staff were really welcoming and knowledgeable (the wife never knows what she fancies) and made the wife an off the menu cocktail which was amazing. dinner was a smashing success - great food and service all round, nothing could be faulted both Nathan and Eva were amazing with their hospitality.We were due to leave early Sunday but decided to stay longer and go for a long walk and then sample their Sunday roast, best decision ever as it really topped off our first weekend away perfectly. again service and food were faultlessin conclusion if your looking for a relaxing break away from London (or wherever) this place is perfect to unwind.we cant thank the staff enough for a great weekend

We have stayed a few times at this wonderful country pub, it's our go to place when we visit our son in Haywards Heath. We travel from Norwich, and our son doesn't have enough room for us to stay there. The staff are really nice and very welcoming so much so that they left my husband a present, when we were down there for his birthday.The food is wonderful, breakfast scrumptious and other meals good. All round, I would certainly recommend 'The Curious Pig' to anyone wanting to stay in this area, it's also not far from Gatwick.

Party of 6, from mixed households in a Tier 2 area so dined outside. We'd all been here before and were really looking forward to our visit - have had great meals in the past. Our latest visit is probably going to be our last for a while, I think, based on the experience we had.So arrival was fine, no problems, sat outside on a lovely, clean and heated patio area. Drinks orders were a bit messed up (had to chase one drink, another was delayed due to not being available) but eventually arrived.Food took a while and was served without cutlery. 5 minutes later we had cutlery and, because we were sat outside, luke-warm food. Shame that the cutlery didn't turn up first!I had steak, which was not at all to my liking (and I did speak up at the time) because it was (a) tiny and (b) very well done - I had requested medium. This was gratefully removed from my bill. Couple of other small problems with other dishes (the piece of fish my wife had was very chewy and the hispi cabbage side was very undercooked) but others in the group chose not to bring that up.Dessert orders taken promptly and arrived pretty quickly (with cutlery supplied beforehand!!), the banana sticky toffee pudding tasted more like bread pudding to me, and was, in my opinion, mediocre and not worth the money. My wife's hot drink arrived as we were getting ready to leave and was also removed from the bill.So all in all, I wonder if it's perhaps because we were sat outside that we were a bit forgotten about; every other time I've eaten here both the food and service has been brilliant. I am all in favour of a large amount of forbearance in these difficult times, but large groups of diners sat inside (of course from the same household!!!!) didn't seem to have any of the problems we did.This all sounds very negative but really it wasn't - the staff are very friendly, some of the food was really, really good (their chips are incredible and the mac and cheese side is a pot of heaven). So if you dine here, my personal suggestion would be - don't order steak, don't sit outside and give dessert a swerve.

Went to this place for the first time last Saturday, food was fantastic, staff very friendly and covid compliant. Made to feel very very welcome, the menu has a great range to choose from. I had steak and was totally blown away, my wife had the salad and we will be going back again. Highly recommend this place to anyone.

We ordered 3 rib eye steaks here tonight. What turned up was 1 rib eye & 2 pre cooked awful rump cuts. When I asked the waitress (who were great) to ask the kitchen what’s up, I was told that ‘they don’t cut the meat on site and that it’s pre cut’. Which didn’t answer my question as to why we had 2 different cuts of meat on the table. Couldn’t be bothered to confront the kitchen on how they’ve completely mugged us off on our steaks. Starters were great however. £30 for mystery chewy cuts - not so great.

Party of 4, been there before many times and enjoyed the meals but NEVER AGAIN. The meal my wife had Cottage Pie my wife had was a very small ramekin size with a small spoonful of meat in it and just a few small carrots and tiny jug of gravy. A friend had the Chicken, Ham Hock & Pea Pie. Again small ramekin size with approx 8 beans and a few small roast pots. No gravy and waitress could not understand why we asked for some, well it was on the menu! I had a Margarita Pizza which was scarce with toppings and I could have done better going to Tesco. My wife said she was still hungry when we left and in 40+ years I have never heard he say that. I would embarrassed if I had served that meal to guests at my house.I wrote to the restaurant when we got home. The reply was very dismissive of my issues and said size and quantity were dictated by 'head office'. The respondent didn't even have the courtesy to provide a name.An awful experience and not that uncommon having spoken to others. I will never cross their threshold again, there is much better value around and in these days when competition is fierce they will lose out.

One of my preferred pubs when in the area, this pub offers great fare and even better service. Look for their specials, as they have some really great deals. In the warmer months, dining in the back garden is a fantastic way to spend an evening with friends or family.

From start to finish, ably looked after by Nathan, excellent role model. Great service, tasty varied menu choices not seen elsewhere served very well. We drive up from the coast to visit The Curious Pig - so much more consistent than many establishments in our area. Thanks guys.

Good pub grub and friendly, informative staff. Excellent COVID rules and buzzing with people keeping their distance and wearing masks when they should. Looking forward to coming back.

Came here for a family lunch during the “Eat Out Help Out” scheme. We had a lovely lunch here. Really couldn’t fault anything. The staff are pleasant, the food was really well made and presented. Portions were great. They took good care of us despite the crowds. We’ll return.

lovely food, garden was beautifull, very big, lots of space with table service. we had Pizza, which was two for one.

Visited on a weekday night and it was busy. Can't fault the waiting staff - very good. I had the rib-eye steak medium rare and it was very thin,sinewy and chewy. Good job it had 50% off steaks as full price certainly wouldn't be worth it. Overall disappointing and average.

We revisited this local restaurant during “East out to help out” initiative. We made our table booking online using their website and this was easy and straight forward. Due to the popularity of the scheme we were only able to book for a dinner slot for 5:30pm. The restaurant has a large car park and with the reduced numbers being catered for space was not an issue.When we arrived the restaurant was already half full and despite having over 50% of the tables removed still managed to generate a good atmosphere. We were welcomed and shown to our table. In line with COVID measures the table was bare which did rather spoil the experience.Menus were brought and a drinks order taken. Drinks were served promptly on a tray and we were asked to take them to the table as part of the COVID measures. I did wonder how they got on the tray if staff were unable to handle the glasses.There is a good range of dishes on offer with something to suit most tastes.We ordered the chicken breast and steak for main courses. These arrived in the timescales expected for cooked to order. Again, dishes were served on a tray together with napkins and cutlery and we lifted them onto the table. Condiments were offered and brought in individual sachets. Both the chicken and the steak were cooked as ordered and were excellent. The thick cut chips accompanying the steak were perfection personified. Only minor blemish was that we were given cocktail napkins which are rather on the small side. When the mains were cleared we were offered the dessert menu and my wife decided to have the cheesecake. This was again served quickly with accompanying cutlery and fresh napkins.Throughout staff were attentive ensuring the meal was to our satisfaction and offering drinks refills when required. The restaurant was full by the time we left and despite the reduced numbers had a atmosphere close to the “old normal”.We had a very enjoyable meal and have booked a return visit with friends at the beginning of October. If you are in the vicinity then the Curious Pig is well worth a visit.

Came with for a friend for lunch last week and was really impressed. Paige served us and was really friendly and attentive throughout. Food from the kitchen was well presented and well cooked. A really nice pub and will definitely go again.

Lovely pub, brilliant food! Visiting from London and Alexia made it for us! Great service with a smiley face, she deserves a pay rise! Thank you 😁

Took my friend here on Sunday 30th August 2020 for lunch and everything was just perfect. Had the lamb roast and it was so yummy and good size portion, can’t fault it.Had a lovely friendly waitress too so would like it if you praised her for the service we received (1pm booking).Will look toward to my next visit.

Good steak, benefitted from eat out to help out where there was generously no cap at £10. The sides for the steak were missing tomatoes. Delicious halloumi fries. Parking was a nightmare as it was so busy. Service was good also.

We’ve eaten here so many times and always been really impressed however tonight was our first time back since lockdown... and I was disappointed. On arrival we weren’t asked to sanitise our hands (we did anyway) and the staff aren’t in any PPE!! No masks no visors no thing!! Shocking they have no care towards their staff or customers!! It then took 20 mins before anyone took our order. Unfortunately we were sat next to 2 locals who completely ruined our meal but talking loudly and swearing, we should of asked to move but by the time I realised they were a nuisance it was almost to late. On a positive food was great. No complaints about the food. Just didn’t like the staff so close to me without a visor/mask on. Won’t be rushing back sadly.

Family meal with old friends who had been here before and had bigged it up before we came and they were spot on.The Scotch egg starter was excellent and the pizzas, burgers and deserts that followed amazing. The waiter seemed a little inexperienced and made a couple of minor mistakes with ice in drinks etc but these were quickly put right and the food was served quickly and piping hot. Loved the quirky sink in the gents too, we will definitely return when in the area next.

Had a lovely dinner with my daughter. We both had pizza and it was really authentic. Great atmosphere too

Me and a friend came for lunch goodbye. What was concerning is they didn’t make any customers sanitise their hands upon arrival and no staff were wearing face masks to protect themselves or the customer. We’d ordered a chicken starter. After it was served we discovered it was complete raw. The young waitress was very polite and apologised about the food and took them away straight away and voided them off the bill. Later the manager came after we requested to speak to him and his lack of concern and attitude was worrying. There was no apology from him and no empathy. He said all food should be temperature checked and there’s not much else he could have done. Clearly food isn’t being checked there and that’s concerning. He said if we would like to carry on eating there then great f not he would cancel the order. We wasn’t asked if we’d like anything else or something as a gesture of good will he seemed to just shrug the matter off. The bill came and we’d still had to pay for all of our drinks and mains which is unbelievable. As we were leaving he was on his phone with his back to the door and once again no apology or even a goodbye.. Such a shame as we go there quite often and most certainly won’t be again.

Best best besttttt place !!! Love coming here, super friendly staff, especially Zoe, always has a smile on her face whenever we come ! Food is incredible! Definitely recommend !

Lovely lunch in the garden . Dog friendly. Lovely staff.Good offer 2 for 1 on pizza. Clean and plenty of space.

Good food and good service. It can be a little pricey, but the food is worth it. The atmosphere is really nice and cosy, perfect pub lunch!

First time here today, absolutely amazing place. Fantastic food, friendly staff, very Covid compliant in very nice surroundings. Will be be going back soon.

Staying at the Copthorne Hotel, we were looking for somewhere to have a nice pre-holiday meal and The Curious Pig didn’t disappoint. The staff were very friendly whilst doing their very best to work around the Covid restrictions. I had the fillet steak which really hit the spot, which was made all the better as we’d lucked in to this being half price Tuesday for all steak meals. Would definitely recommend and return before future holidays.

We enjoyed our visit. large outside sitting area at the back. very pleasant in a sunny afternoon. food was good and came very quickly. good covid measures in place. you take your own cutlery after ordering. table spray, etc

Post lockdown visit, Bookings taken for inside but outside first come first served Excellent and large garden area Food and drink is service only, Good selection food Beer well kept and tasty

We have been to this restaurant a few times in recent years and have always enjoyed our experience however last night we decided to go and see what it was like being in a restaurant with the pandemic restrictions. Sadly I don’t think you would have known a pandemic was still going on. The waitresses got way to close to the table to take our order and to put the plates down. They touched the cutlery before putting it on the table (another restaurant placed it on a tray so we could retrieve ourselves). There was no one way system meaning that everyone was everywhere. Forgive me if i am wrong but I didn’t think the pubs should be booking at full capacity? It was full! Tables were all busy. Yes they had sanitiser on entry but that was it really.I even saw a waitress jokingly touch a customer at one point. I know this seems all very dramatic but we would like to have pubs stay open and avoid another lockdown. Sadly I don’t think we will be back anytime soon.The food was lovely and it was nice to be out again just a shame that they were a bit too relaxed.

I came in a few times for sunday tea and chat with best friend. One Friday after work decided to take my daughter for light snack and we tried the Pizza. Amazing AMAZING! thin layer full of amazing flavour!! Cannot remember all names [sorry chef! Tim, Ted or Ed ... I am so sorry chef i should have written your name, upss sorry] but the waitress, Zoe [I think!] Had the best attitude even overwhelming. This was just a few days before the shutdown due to COVID19 and just look like everyone was in there [comfort and reassurance in service and place I am sure]. Hope you guys open soon, because it means not only lockdown is over but life goes back to normal. See you guys soon!

Good lunch menu freshly cooked food Very reasonable Excellent service Drinks good selection Beers well kept Well worth a visit

One word is excellent!! Thanks to all the staff for making me and my friends feel welcomed after travelling down for the night from london. The food was superb too. The atmosphere is great with the open fire by the bar. Good selection of beers on tap, however I never knew it had rooms I would have booked one. Really looking forward to my second visit was has already been penciled into the diary.

Went here Monday for meal before Gatwick flight 6 different meals and only one issue, too many chips on one meal Food perfect and staff all very friendly

Was staying over night in a local hotel before a early morning flight at Gatwick. Was recommended this restaurant by a friend who had visited a number of times before and I wasn’t disappointed. From the scotch egg starter to the pie for main and finished with a beautifully rich chocolate brownie. Service was also great with it being quiet we were well looked after by the staff and a big shout out to Paige who was great and an asset to you. Would definitely return if we were in the area again. Thanks so much!

Went here for lunch today and was very impressed service was good friendly and attentive , food was lovely ... we started with the pork platter then had the smoked haddock would recommend both dishes I will definitely be returning

Had a lovely lunch here yesterday on the way back to the airport. The food was delicious and the staff were friendly. I had the venison scotch egg and the yoke was perfectly runny. My mum's starter with slow cooked pork/ham hock was amazing. I also had a lovely juicy bit of seabream with a really interesting seaweed garnish. The beer garden out the back looked lovely for when spring/summer arrives. Would definitely recommend.

I was very impressed. The food, drinks and ambience were excellent. I would definitely go again and recommend to my friends.

Great food and Fabulous service .i went on a Tuesday night this is the steak night with a half price steak

I am going to sound a bit like an advert now but i like everything about this place.The food is great, especially the steaks, the decor is great, the atmosphere is great, the staff are friendly. Everything is great.Booking for an evening is a must though.

I was dining on own as working in area. I decided to treat myself to Sunday roast. What a wrong choice. I arrived 15 mins early, so there was a scene with me arriving early couldn't find my booking. Eventually found, I was thrown on a table for 4, I needed and wanted a small table for me, just me. It was absolutely freezing, as sat by door, with people walking in and out to garden. I ordered roast beef, Yorkshire pud good, wine good. The roast was warm, not hot, garnishes fine. I was then joined on my table by another woman scoffing down a pizza and talking loudly in phone, using the other lay up knife to stir her drink, vile. My warm roast ( yes I ate it as was starving ) finally taken from me, there was no how was your meal, would you like another drink. 30 mins later, got desert menu, 15 mins later, got asked if I'd like a desert, answer no, I couldn't wait to reluctantly pay and get the hell out. The customer service is shocking, individual nice people, however as a single person wanting a lovely table for 1 Sunday lunch, the curious pig should be ashamed and sort it out. I meant to add, I hadn't even sat down and was told, no prawns, few lamb left, sirloin, and something else , I wondered if I was going to be tested at the end to see if I could remember what wasn't available !!! This place from the outside lifts your heart, you think oh looks lovely, you walk in, welcoming bar, then it goes rapidly downhill from there, such a disappointment, I will not recommended and never return. Phew !! Get a grip on customer service and more in-house training required to enable to deliver outstanding customer service, I may of been on my own but no excuse to be overlooked, to allow another person on my table, to be freezing and serve Luke warm food. Anyone would think I'm rather peeved !

We visited The Curious Pig on 20th December my sons 30th birthday. Obviously it was very busy being in the run up to Xmas but the staff were attentive.

Delicious lunch here today... it was the nicest fish and chips I’ve had in a long time. Lovely interior and really lovely staff.

Great place for a catch up with mates, good selection of beers and a wood fired pizza oven. Staff couldn't do enough to make us feel welcome. Will go back.

Went to eat on the half price steak night good value , service was not great that night ,but the food was delicious so that made up for service .good friendly place

Decent. We went for the first time to have dinner and everything was alright. We had to wait a little bit for the food to be served but was tasty and the portions were generous. We will visit again.

Have eaten here many times & they certainly do the best Pizza around. Other dishes are well worth a try especially the 2 for 1 steak on a Tuesday, great midweek value.

Friendly staff, tasty food, generous portions, good value and atmosphere. Took quite a time to serve us, even though we'd pre-ordered but all good once served. The dessert sharing platter was excellent and really good value and more than enough for two after the mains!

You can get all the trimmings for the roast cooked in a vegetarian-friendly manner. Just nothing to actually eat with it. When we queried this we were told well it’s “post Xmas” (?) and the chef “loves meat”. Yep. That’s straight onto the “terrible” side of the pub restaurant pile.

We visited recently, lovely country pub, very busy but the week before christmas to be expected.

We have been visiting this pub for a few years and it is great to see it develop such a lovely environment. Professional staff, well cooked food and comfortable environment.

Excellent food and service, nice decor and friendly staff. We were a largeish group and they catered for us well.

This was a family meal to celebrate a birthday and from the moment we walked in there was a welcoming ambiance about the place. We were shown to a long table in an alcove, which comfortably accommodated the nine of us. Between us we ordered a variety of different dishes, all of which proved nicely cooked and were enjoyed by all.

This is not my first time that I have dined in this restaurant. I understand that this establishment is run as a business and needs to make a profit! But I feel aggrieved when I was charged twice for the smallest portion of peppercorn sauce, I asked a very nice waitress for a little more sauce and consequently got charged twice. CHEAP. Already paid £7 for 4 carrots and a small portion of cabbage which I understand. I feel that this establishment runs on a penny wise pound foolish attitude.

We stayed here and booked into the adjacent rooms with full ensuite facilities which was ideal for our annual family get together. The restaurant and bar were extremely busy but we looked after by the staff and had our own alcove table so enjoyed the banter coming from the bar whilst having our own conversation. The food was good, the rooms very nice and staff absolutely excellent, so a big thank to Jason and all of the staff.

Visited here twice in about three weeks. The first time was my first visit, on a Friday night and you have to book to get a table. My partner and I arrived early and informed the host who said he would get us seated as soon as he could. So we had a drink at the bar, the host then sorted the best table in the place for us. We had a really enjoyable evening with really good food. The second visit was my birthday, I asked for a ‘good’ table when I booked, it wasn’t great, it was noisy and the restaurant was like a sauna. I was offered a free glass of Prosecco so that was nice. We had the same starters that we had previously (scallops, pork belly and bacon)and it looked different. Swamped in pea purée, less scallops than last time, so that was disappointing. The waiter did offer to get it changed for us, but we declined when he said what we had been served was normal. The mains were good though, I had the Pork Wellington and my partner had a pizza. No one came to check if the mains were ok, or if drinks needed refilling (they did). So we got the bill, paid and then left. We will probably go again as the food is quite nice, here’s hoping it gets more consistent.

My daughter booked this for a family lunch. We had been twice before and enjoyed it. We were a party of 11, 7 adults, 4 children. She was told to arrive by noon, that being the only time available. We arrived and the place was practically empty. We were put in 2 booths next to the men's toilets. After a half hour wait, we got drinks and the food arrived in dribs and drabs between 1.15 and 1.30!! We did order starters and mains. A long wait with 2 young children and 2 really hungry older ones. The food was average to say the least. The starters were mixed up and some of the main courses were half cold and they did not arrive all at the same time. Some people had almost finished before other people got theirs. When the manager came to ask if everything had been 0K we said NO and he said he would enquire as to what had gone wrong in the kitchen. He did not return. I saw him chatting to a table who were obviously regulars. When my husband went to pay the bill and asked to speak to him, he eventually arrived and just said they'd been busy! He wasn't the least bit interested. We eventually left at 14.40, a long lunch. We got the impression that the kitchen was understaffed, as were the waiting staff. We will not return.

Popped in for lunch and despite being really busy they fitted us in without a reservation. We had the burger and our Son had the Margherita Pizza. The food was absolutely spectacular. Well cooked and amazing flavours. The staff were polite, happy and attentive despite being so busy. We didn't have to wait long for the food either. Really impressed and will come back.

I stayed for one night with a lady who has trouble walking. Zoe the receptionist was absolutely brilliant helping this lady get to her room and sorting a table for dinner near the reception. The meal was delicious and Amy, our waitress, was very attentive. In the morning Matt helped get us to the dining room for the delicious breakfast and when it was time to leave escorted her to the car. Well done everyone you were all fantastic.

If your looking for a relaxed atmosphere, good service, to enjoy a pleasant meal - go somewhere else! If you want screaming kids, slow service and staff that don't seem to care - this is the place for you!

This was our second trip to the Curious Pig as it's a good half way place for us to meet family landing at Gatwick. The food was great, healthy portions, hot and quality ingredients. The roast beef was excellent, cooked perfectly. Drinks selection is good with a range of ales, lagers and wine. The only thing that let it down was the patchy service. Not impolite or rude at all, just very slow, I had to get up myself 5 times to order drinks and get the table cleared. To be fair they were very busy but it just let it down a bit.

Another lovely visit to the Pig. They managed to fit us in even thought it was very busy. The menu was varied, lots to choose from including some good veggie options. The service was excellent, food delicious and bar service prompt. Well done May and your colleagues. We only wish we were down in the area more often as you would definitely become a regular for us,

Our family booked for Sunday afternoon after reading the fantastic trip advisor reviews. The children would normally chose off the children’s menu, but I encouraged them to have a roast dinner. They absolutely didn’t regret it. We all thoroughly enjoyed our beef & chicken roasts.

Really enjoyed our stay here for our wedding anniversary. Staff were really friendly and helpful especially Zoë who looked after us throughout, she’s a credit to the team.

Stopped off for a impromptu lunch. Had a fantastic haddock main course. Great service from Zoe who convinced be to try one of their puddings. Glad I did the lemon curd cheesecake was great

Came in this evening for a low key meal with friends. Our waitress, Kelly, greeted us with a warm welcome. She was friendly and helpful, answering all of our questions with a smile. The service was prompt, and pizzas were amazing (thanks for the recommendation Kelly!) We will definitely be visiting again

Went on Sunday to celebrate 2 family birthdays. Arancini and Camembert plus dough balls for starters. No flavour, bland. We left most of it. The roasts were the same. Cold in parts no flavour and didn’t look appealing on the eye. Bee told the waitress when she asked that the food wasn’t good but nothing was done about it. Service very slow but the manager really friendly. Had booked a team lunch there which I subsequently cancelled!

Feeling hungry on a family drive home we pulled in to the pub in the middle of nowhere staff on entrance couldn’t do enough we were seated and fed in a very responsible time we were introduced to a new winter menu and our waitress (May) said the pie was a one time experience!..... a beautiful pastry and succulent meat and cooked to perfection the kids loved there’s too! Plenty of board games which kept the kids occupied while I tried one of the local beers heated smoking area aswell which is always a bonus this time of year will be back again if I had one fault to the visit it’s that the hotel was fully booked and we couldn’t stay

Was recommended this pub by a friend so thought would try it out! Had Sunday dinner here with relatives that were staying at Gatwick Airport. A ten minute drive from the north terminal and we were here. A beautiful country pub with a great Sunday menu! They were so accommodating that they even swapped the cauliflower cheese for an extra Yorkshire pudding for a couple of members of the table. A lovely gesture I thought and it went down a treat. Also a perfect baked Camembert which went down a treat as a starter. We were too stuffed for desserts but absolutely thoroughly enjoyed our food!

Visited here on Tuesday 24th of September with my family , half price steaks - bonus !! The food was stunning - cote de boef and a fillet steak cooked to perfection ... lovely children’s menu and the best brownie I have ever tasted .
