The Duke of Cambridge in Waverley

Faultless, stayed next door at Tilford Wood Lodge We had an evening meal on arrival friday evening that was on point so we returned in the morning for breakfast that was absolutely perfect so we re-booked our breakfast for Sunday morning as well Overall, delightful, quality food & service. 10% off for Tilford Wood Lodgers

Our first visit,eight of us met up for Sunday Lunch, the majority of the party opted for the Sunday Roast, this turned out to be a bit of a letdown. Although the portions were acceptable, the quantity of meat was less than impressive, only one thin slice of meat, this was a bit of a disappointment, as was seen by the expression on the faces of the party. Veg tasted smokey food quality aside, there was quite a wait for the staff to clear the main course dishes from the table. Consequently, there was a delay in dessert. To cap it all, we were asked to vacate the table as they were expecting another party. Not our problem, I fear. Overpriced

Sunday in November 2024 - We knew it would be busy as we couldn't get a table until 14.45. It was heaving. When I went to sit down at my place, I noticed the table hadn't been cleaned very well. I pointed this out and someone hurriedly wiped a cloth over most of the spillage, probably gravy. Later, when I picked up my napkin, it had stuck to the table on another dirty spot. For these reasons, I was going to rate 3 stars but the food was very good so I rated 4 stars. A previous comment included a pic of one slice of roast beef. My wife ordered that and her food portion was ample, as were everyone's - no complaints there. The servers were polite and friendly but at times we had a long wait. This was especially true of our puddings so I asked for the bill when they were brought over. We were four adults and one 3-year-old and our lunch took 2 and 3/4 hours which is rather a long time, especially for a small child.

Great service from Evie, Lily and Maisie.

Really lovely lunch here, the service was impeccable and food and drinks yummy. I asked for a wine recommendation and the suggestion was perfect. Loved the children’s playground and the warm atmosphere. Will definitely come again - thank you xx

For a pub that has the brewery where their cask conditioned real ales are produced in the same location (literally 15 metres away), it was a little surprising that when we arrived on a relatively quiet lunchtime there was no real ale available 😞

We haven't dined at the Duke of Cambridge for a few years and thought we would treat ourselves but doubt we will be returning there in a hurry. It wasn't as nice as the pictures on their website suggest and nowhere near as comfortable as the pictures look, with the plush armchairs etc. They must be in the attic! The biggest disappointment was the service and spent most of the evening listening to the two waitresses talking loudly, singing and laughing. We're all for everyone being happy but they seemed to forget they were there! The food was ok but unfortunately the triple cooked chips weren't really cooked properly and certainly not worth the prices they charge.

After many previous visits where everything was ‘5 star worthy’, our last visit a couple of weeks back the food and service were merely average. I hindsight I wish I had asked to remove the ‘compulsory’ optional service change which made the meal 10% more expensive! Pay a decent wage and allow tips to be at the discretion of consumers rather than the default on the bill. May try again for the benefit of the doubt.

Good food , service and atmosphere , wine very expensive , beware .

Nice, friendly gastro pub, good quality food. Fairly quiet on our visit but a large garden area looks as though it would be nice in summer.

A Woke pub, locally within 1mile there are two better options than this one. Bell & Dragon, Barely Mow - both excellent & friendly environments., this is a pub in demise, its current course of policy, food & reviews are a downward trajectory. Only saved by the building & location. Better options very close by.and the staff near by are lovely, friendly & accommodating. If you are up for spending money - support the nice friendly non woke folk, they need you.

There are literally better pubs either side. Spend your money else where this pub is worried about the minority not the majority. Terrible policy considering they sell a licensed drug.

Nice big garden and place for kids in the back. Food was good in general. But advertised grilled tiger prawns and then the dish had one grilled tiger prawn atop a rice dish of all small not grilled not tiger prawns.

Lovely family friendly place, amazing outside space for the kids (dog friendly). Choice of full menu food and outside menu. Couldn’t ask for more, we will definitely be back!

Excellent food brilliant service, if we’re in the area will definitely go again

Sadly this place isn’t what it used to be. Saturday night and very quiet which was a surprise! Used to be overflowing. Not much choice on the menu, fixed price menu not available Saturday night, no steak frites, tiny portions and way too expensive. Had the crab cake and it wouldn’t have looked out of place as a starter. The waiter recommended adding chips as it was small, triple cooked chips with thyme and rosemary…. Don’t think so, more like thick cut shop bought that were quite greasy. Burgers were small, expensive and one little bit of lettuce, one little bit of tomato and a few chips… deserts weren’t much better but the apple and houseboy crumble was nice but again expensive! Sadly won’t be going again. 4 of us left disappointed and feeling out of pocket. Perhaps it’s better during the day when there’s more choice. Playground etc is great if you’ve got kids but sorry, won’t return after many years of frequenting this pub.

Nice beer garden plenty parking food was OK had steak bit tough thought a glass of wine at £9.90 was bit expensive staff were really nice not my sort of food on menu though

My son recommended this place to go to for our 35th wedding anniversary as our usual restaurant was shut. When we arrived we waited 10 minutes for someone to come out of the kitchen to show us to our table. No apologies. The restaurant was quite chilly so we ordered hot drinks. Starters arrived and I found a hair in my food . (Husband didn’t want to cause a fuss to the already disappointing start). Main course arrived and they hadn’t cleared the plates etc from the starter course. On the upside the food was good.

We’ve been here a few times before. Beautiful setting but let down by the portion side. £22.50 for roast beef, 2 very small slices of beef, 3 roast potatoes plus veg. Had better size portions elsewhere

Walking into The Duke of Cambridge, one is greeted with a lovely atmosphere - a charming ambience in a traditional old English pub. My cousins and I had a family get together and occupied a large table in the restaurant area. We all only ordered a main course (thank goodness) as the food was extremely disappointing. Without exception, all 10 of us were disappointed with the food. Risotto: rice undercooked. Fish & Chips: small, tasteless soggy portion, Trout: dry, Steak - virtually cold and tough... I could go on and on. The value for money is non-existent. The servers did their best and gratuities included for their efforts but if it were my decision, I would have sent the food back. Simply not good enough at £22 for a meagre fish and chips etc. etc. Reading previous complaints, I see the proprietors wrote: “Thank you for your rating! We look forward to hopefully seeing you again soon.” That would suggest they did not read it or they do not care! I strongly suggest you modfiy your pricing to reflect the quality and quantity of the food. With such establishments under pressure, only those offering fair value for money will survive. The ’Bel & Dragon’ just a couple of miles away is a far better option.

Just ordered a roast dinner. For £18.50 you get one piece of Meat. For this price I could of gone to marks and spencers and made my own. Absolutely shocking. The children portion was exactly the same size. Shame lovely pub wont be coming here again.

Wow...staff were so attentive and friendly..such a lovely greeting on walking in...Ordered the fish finger Sandwich...never had one before and wasn't sure what to expect...was not disappointed.. it was delicious...huge portion..will definitely be back again Thankyou x

Absolutely awful experience last Friday at the pub. Upon arrival 4 or 5 staff were standing behind the bar but not serving any of the people waiting. When I asked if we could sit outside one guy said yes, I’ll serve you, then halfway through ordering he decides to go on his break. When I ask where he’s gone, a girl very defensively says he deserves a break! Ridiculous. Instead of just looking after us, she continues to be difficult. Finally after taking our order we receive rude comments whilst walking away, like we were the ones being rude. Outrageous in hospitality. Then, when food arrives they’ve actually got my food order wrong. When I question it the server says I’ll go find out, but no one ever comes back to the garden to rectify or even just apologise. So sad when this place used to be amazing, and as a local resident they’ve lost my business for good. Do not waste your time here when so many other nice pubs locally!!!!

Great pub, staff were amazing. My son got stung in the mouth by a wasp. The staff were great at helping sort everything out. Thank you

We live locally and have been to this pub many times. Two years ago the food was fantastic, staff friendly etc. Service this summer has been a completely different experience. We sat in the garden as the pub has a good play area for children. Almost all of the tables were covered in glasses and dirty plates, this continued throughout our visit. The staff were surly teenagers who didn't even apologise when the wrong food was delivered but tather acted as if we had done something wrong. Food was very average and overpriced. Toilets were not clean. Overall a poor experience and that is three local families who won't be returning.

Bloody amazing. Food was gorgeous. There was 8 of us, 4 adults, 4 kids, and a dog. We visited on a Sunday. We had the roasts which were amazing. The free extra potatoes and yorkies was great. Kids food was great, and enough for them (ages 8-10). Waitresses were amazing, very helpful, polite and friendly. Pub itself had lovely outdoor space, great play space for kids. Great find for us and would definitely go back.

Had a roast dinner with a dessert. We had lamb and beef, both cooked to perfection, and the desserts were very good. Pub was very busy, but the staff were working tirelessly and were very attentive. Would recommend a visit.

All good, some nice things on the menu, very nice surroundings.... worth a visit

Disappointing! The batter on my fish suggested the oil hadn't been renewed for a long time. Pity, as there seemed to be more batter than fish. Service not great, even though I was charged for it. Location good, but vfm, service and food not! John

Great for kids. Bouncy castle in the beer garden. What's not to like?

Just arrived for a short break and popped in for a light lunch. Very pleasant pub, good food and really friendly service. Thumbs up!

Came in for Sunday lunch, ordered the pork chop and some nibbles to share with the family. The pork was cooked to perfection and would highly recommend the "bang bang slaw" for an exotic accompaniment to the meal. Excellent service, will be sure to return. Special thanks to Evie for accommodating our four legged friend 🦮

Came here for a sunday roast, best roast i have had at a pub in a long time. Staff were very attentive and made me feel very welcome. A special mention to Betty who ensured we had everything we needed during our visit. Will definitely come again!

So disappointing. We’ve been a number of times before and enjoyed it, but they have changed the menu and seem to have some new (untrained?) staff so this time it was very poor. First the food. It was difficult to find something on the menu to be excited about. Most of our table chose a burger to be safe but they were very small so most were left hungry. One of our party chose burrata and tomato salad but it arrived with a BBQ sauce on it. Most odd. It was inedible. Not only because of the sauce but because the ingredients were very poor quality. Second the service. It was very poor. The waiter bringing the wine didn’t seem to know how to open a (screw top!!) bottle, or pour a glass of wine. We had to ask for service several times. The restaurant was empty yet the bar was covered in dirty glasses. The staff were simply chatting behind the desk. There was no warmth to their welcome and no mention of specials or recommendations. We were just left to ourselves. Third the price. It was totally overpriced. We paid £177 for six and we had five mains and one starter (one dish each) plus one bottle of house wine. Fourth the result. We left early and went for pudding elsewhere!

Great pub and amazing food and service ,came today and had a range of small plates, all very tasty , very good value and great service

It is such a wonderful place to eat and drink. Staff are so friendly, plus dogs are allowed...👍

Never lets you down either a snack or meal clean service good food hot and if you are staying at Tillford Lodges10% off your bill.

Been going here for 14 years - food is awful, waiters stressed - go to the Barley Mow instead.

This pub is a real gem,called in after a walk for lunch ,great staff and good food

Lacking atmosphere, no welcome on arrival, one clueless but sweet waiter, one abrasive rude waitress, couldn’t have felt more unwelcome and quite frankly an inconvenience! A huge list of dishes that were not available. Started clearing the plates and asking for coffee orders while we were still eating. A big disappointment for what was meant to be a big birthday celebration. Never again - such a shame as it looks nice enough and in a lovely village.

Had fish and chips which went down a treat. Mat and Jess were also fantastic

Very slow service with our second course some of our party had finished the dessert before the others were server. Dined on the patio that had a roof but no sides. So when it rained some got wet. Do not think I would eat there again. Food slightly over cooked and dry and not very hot.

We went here for father's day. First time we went here and I don't think we would come back. We had to chase up for a high chair for my toddler. Food ordered got very messed up near the end and ended up cancelling drinks as we waited 45 mins. Waiting staff weren't using note pads and wrote the order on their hand. Some of the food wasn't great and seemed dry. And it says on the website that food stops services at 6 which is not true as we ran to the pub and ask, and they said they never heard of that.

Great GastroPub! Quick and friendly service, food was full of flavours and they have the best czech beer 🍺 well done! We will be back.

£20 for a small fish pie. LOOOL. Used to be very good but no more.

Very busy bank holiday. Food great, service outstanding.

Below average food, poor service. After reading reviews of this pub we had positive expectations. We had a meal as a family at this pub. We reserved a table for dinner in advance. We arrived and were pointed to our table. The pub was not particularly busy, there was no-one on the terrace or in the garden due to a recent downpour, and we were the only table seated in the barn. There were no menus on the table, after 15 mins of being sat at the table with no service we went to the bar to ask for menus and to check that the pub indeed offered table service, which they stated they did. After a further 20 mins of being sat at the table no server appeared. We ordered drinks and food at the bar. The food arrived and was average at best. We ordered more drinks when food was brought to the table, we had finished our meal and the drinks still had not arrived. There were servers coming in and out, clearing tables and seating other customers, not one checked in on our table, cleared our plates or offered drinks / dessert. We had to go to the bar to get our drinks order and order dessert. When dessert was brought to the table the plates from our main were still not cleared. The food was below average. Overall a disappointing experience.

It was our first and last time! My husband had to go look for a place to park our car because the one in the pub was completly full. When he told me that it took 10 minutes to get there until the pub, because he had to walk down the road. I told him we were leaving then. All this after having stepped over the dogs that were lying peacefully on the carpet with my 5-year-old daughter in my arms. It's okay for a pub to be pet friendly but apparently inside the pub they are the kings. I have never seen so many dogs per table. It was obvious that they were super busy so they didn't notice our absence. 10 minuts inside plus no parking space was enough for us.

Dog friendly, very welcoming staff, food good. Gents loos could do with a spruce up. Dog was a bit concerned that there had been a massacre under our table but we reassured her it was probably tomato ketchup!

Really lovely Sunday roast , excellent quality and friendly, efficient service with a smile. All round one of the very best Sunday lunches we’ve had

Really good service from happy staff. They were very short staffed, but coped incredibly well. Meal was very good, hot and tasty, and more than reasonably priced.

Enjoyed a (late) Sunday lunch with the family.

We went for dinner, but won't bother again, the food was terrible. Basic burger with no extras or salad delivered, everyone's burgers were burnt, hard and thin, in a dry bun. The roast chicken dinner was also poor, over flavoured stuffing, more stuffing than meat, served with overcooked hard dry roast potatoes, and all the veg was undercooked and hard. Atmosphere: small and noisy inside, dogs everywhere, rushed service, who didn't know what was on the menu. 2 stars given for location and outdoor area.

Food was very good, the crispy duck salad especially so. The service however was pretty awful. After half an hour of arriving my husband had to go to the bar to order our drinks. I think basically the waitress had forgotten about us or maybe just gone off duty.

Superb food today, excellent service we had the salmon & prawn fish cakes and the chicken burger

The food in itself was okay, but a dreadfully limited choice menu. We went for lunch at 1pm, not a particularly early time for lunch, you would think, but were given the 'brunch' menu with breakfast items and a choice of only 3 'regular' lunch choices having been told that the lunch menu is only available after 3pm. Ridiculous!!!

We have been here many times, and it has always been brillant! We booked a number of months in advance for a family of 8, on the 27 April 2024, to celebrate 2 birthdays. When we arrived, we were told our table would be late as the party on our table were running late, I asked where we should wait and was told in the play area outside, as we had two toddlers with us. As it was pouring down with rain, this was not really an option. We were then placed in a back room, that clearly was not for customers. Overall the food, service, cleanliness of the room we were in were absolutely awful! I did email the manager direct, prior to my review, but he did not even bother to acknowledge my email.... We will not be visiting this pub again!

Simply a must fabulous food with great service.....and the coffee is amazing.

Nice pub close to log cabin site bit pricey compared to other local pubs

We were staying at Tilford Lodge Retreat, so the pub is a short walk through the grounds. We had a very tasty dinner here one night and also discovered it is dog friendly. Our dog just lies under the table. We then decided to try their £22.95 - 3 course lunch one day. Things had been crossed off the mains, in fact things we had planned to order, so we decided to eat elsewhere as we wanted neither the steak not veggie offers. The following day we arrived at 12 for lunch, only to find our choices were again not available, it seems to be a delivery problem BUT the very obliging manager agreed that we could have substitutes ie, the fish and the pork dishes. Certainly can't say fairer than that. Our main courses were delicious and we both had onion soup to start, better than some we have had in France. The desserts were also delicious and huge! All in all we had one of the best meals we have had in a long while. Not just the food but the staff are very attentive without being overbearing. They were very busy but our food arrived in good time. I would certainly recommend this pub, a lovely indoor restaurant, a covered outside area and a really lovely garden.

Visited for dinner as we were on holiday at the Tilford lodges about a 2 min walk away- which was perfect however we were slightly disappointed. My partner had the steak burger and I had the pot pie. The pot pie wasn’t really a pie as was cooked in a griddle looking dish with a bit of pastry slammed on the top. It was quite herby which I didn’t expect and not really my taste. The steak burger was cooked in some sort of sauce which wasn’t very nice and the burger wasn’t great. When it said steak burger we expected it to be more than your standard beef burger but it pretty much was a beef burger. Although the beef dripping chips were delicious! Outside was lovely they had the fire heaters which made it cosy. The staff were also good, and you could clearly see they were busy but still served us very quickly and made us welcome. When we first walked past to find the entrance, we heard dogs barking inside and the pub was packed. It instantly put me off as why do I want a nice dinner with my partner with dogs barking? Hence why we ended up sitting outside. We didn’t go back in the end.

Lovely welcome, service and food super. 4th time been here and 5th in the near future

Just had the crispy pork and my wife had the chicken burger. Probably one of the best meals we have ever eaten out. The menu is really good, there is something for everyone. I can't find fault with anything food is wow and the staff really helpful and friendly.

Amazing truly Home made food and great service.

I looked for a new place that does a decent roast; my wife and I chose this pub but faced severe service issues. While we could see that it was busy, we didn’t expect an hour's wait for our roasts. Our order got lost, leading me to intervene at the bar and ask where our food was. The meals arrived swiftly after, literally 60 seconds, a little too quick and were cold, indicating they’d likely been overlooked and potentially left on the pass for some time. Despite this, the chef deserves praise for the nicely flavoured food, near-perfect roast potatoes, and decent-sized carrots and parsnips, albeit cold (I'm sure it was hot when it was plated). Service suffered from a lack of direction and coordination, with staff appearing disorganised, lacking apparent teamwork and poor leadership, and communicating poorly, or not at all, as they ran around in their own little bubbles save for two girls who seemed to be working well together and working in a methodical manner and communicating very well. This was exacerbated by a blonde (sorry, I don't know names) staff member at the kitchen entrance adjusting her hair and jewellery, distracting another already busy colleague, all in direct view of at least four waiting customers, and getting in the way of the bar staff, kitchen staff, and restaurant staff as this seemed to be a main junction between the three. This oversight negatively affected our experience despite the efforts of some obviously hardworking staff members. The atmosphere was great, but the staff's stress could be felt, and was noticeable, no doubt from the busy period, with them often having to excuse themselves to customers as they rushed past, almost making me not want to ask anything in case I made things worse for them. The disorganisation and the food's delayed and cold arrival marred what could have been a delightful meal, leaving us with a disappointing impression. The search goes on for a nice place to have a roast.

Visited the DoC today on recommendation and fair to say will never go back. Greates by, well, nothing! No warm greeting at all. In fact I’d say, we were made to feel like an inconvenience. Took forever for the servers to take the order, food took so long we had to go and ask what was going on and finally when it did arrive -COLD! Cold food on Cold plates. During the meal little to not service, watched the servers trying to manage the rest of the restaraunt which wasn’t going well. Pricey for the level of overall quality. I’m all for supporting local but sadly won’t go back here.

A lovely looking pub with out door decking. There was a faint smell of damp carpets when we entered the dining room. I had the Confit Belly of English Pork, spring vegetable and white bean cassoulet, salsa verde. It looked really good. However there was only one small strip of belly of pork which was nearly all fat and the accompaniment in my view did not compliment the flavour of the pork. Pub has a nice ambience and the staff were very good and very pleasant. Reasonable value for money.

Ok so when the dish arrived, I was genuinely surprised by the presentation (in a good way)……quite unlike anything I have had before. I can quite honestly say that this was possibly the best Caesar salad that I have ever had. Absolutely delicious, and I have had quite a few. Do not hesitate to order this. Cannot wait to come back, great service too. 😊

Great value steak night but hats off for the Caesar salad which looked fabulous! Daring to be different and it was delicious

We are a rugby team on tour and had dinner at the pub and held our evening court proceedings there. The food was amazing, service good and staff couldn’t go enough for us. Amelie, Evie, Zach, Betty and Daisy were brilliant- thank you

Extremely disappointing visit on Saturday. Our table was for 3.30. The team had obviously had a busy lunch session and we were the space between lunch and dinner. A point implied to us by staff when asked if we had enjoyed our meal and received the reply the no we had not thanks to the inattentive staff. Firstly the food: both kids had the chicken burger that were fine. I had the chicken pot pie. The pie had an over powering herb taste and was very shallow in depth and very watery. Exceedingly disappointing. My wife had the salmon and prawn fish cake. Very tasty but for the price we did not expect a starter portion size. My tip if you choose to eat here, eat before you come as you will leave hungry. Being still hungry following our meal we chose the crumble with custard. The size of the custard was about the size of a sachet. Also there was the thinest ever crumble top. 1 out of 10 for dessert. Secondly the service: Seated for over 10 mins before asked if we would like a drink. We were not asked at any point during the service if we would like a second drink. Staff had to be prompted by going to the bar to ask for drinks and menus etc. I have been here several times before. To be honest this will be the last visit. Completely uninterested staff, food that is trying to be something it definitely is not and way too overpriced. We currently get to spend only 30 hours a week together as a family and this meal was an important chance for us to be together and catch up. Instead of being enjoyable we now only remember it for Completely the wrong reason. Sort your kitchen out, train and manage your staff. You have gone very far downhill.

We had a wonderful evening with our U13s rugby tour. The staff at the Duke of Cambridge were incredibly helpful and despite our large party number of 37 we all had a great meal. The staff were very understanding with our presentation and court session post dinner and so hospitable despite the unusual nature of the gathering. Thanks to all the staff; Evie, Zach, Betty, Amelie and Daisy in helping us in making our 2024 rugby tour a memorable occasion for our boys.

Popped in for a coffee whilst out on a hack, we were made very welcome and even the lovely chef bought some freshly peeled carrots out for the horses. What a great, friendly place.

Great food, lovely staff, lovely inside but brilliant contained outside area too! Highly recommend.

Lovely pub, with warm and friendly decor. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Food was ok, could have been a little hotter but otherwise good.

Afraid this pub has gone downhill. Not comparable to others in the chain. Both service & food was poor. Waiters didn’t know what they were doing & service was painfully slow. First caffe came out cold. Then the goats cheese, heritage tomato & olive salad came out with no olives and the waiter said the black bits were “olive dust”. Ordered the Apple crumble and the custard was look warm and the consistency of water.

We always visit when staying at the local lodges as food has always been good standard. We went for steak night and was really disappointed. There were two options offered and we orderded the upgraded flank fillet, which wasn't available, instead offered a rump. It was awful. Tastless, chewy and I'd be surprised if it weighed 5oz. A number of desserts weren't available. Staff were pleasant, but needed more training and support. We chased for drinks, the bill, service wasn't great. Don't think we will visit again.

Absolutely delicious roast on Easter Sunday served by friendly and helpful staff.

Wanting something a little bit different to Xmas roast I opted for the fish. The most disappointing Christmas meal ever: Monkfish thermidor, a very small portion containing very little fish and served with 5 tiny potatoes. Very poor indeed.

I visited for Mother's Day with my 17 year old son, for the four course meal. Every course was delicious - focaccia bread with a balsamic honey dip, I had the burrata with asparagus which was delicious. I loved the pea and mint risotto and my rhubarb dessert was both unusual and gorgeous. I could see that our waitress, Evie, and the other staff were incredibly busy. However, she was super helpful and friendly and gorgeous with our dog. I look forward to returning

It was very busy and our waitress Evie was fantastic, she was all on her own with bar and service and couldn’t have done better. Also the food was great! Well done

Another lovely lunch at The Duke. Highly recommend the Chicken Burger. Evie, not for the first time, served us and she was brilliant!

Just been for lunch (13:30 on 19.03.24) food was nice and so was the drink. The waitress was fantastic (sorry didn’t catch her name) she was on her own and still managed to be super attentive and give great service

We came here last night for Sunday Dinner, we had two of your haddock and chips and one of your roast chicken dinner, the food and service were both very good, the two girls were very attentive and friendly. They were very helpful when it came to navigating the wine list. We will definitely be back again.

Such a lovely pub with great atmosphere..the staff couldn't do enough for us..so friendly and attentive.... price were very good...I had fish and chips and such a plateful and delicious..my husband had the steak..which was cooked to perfection...thanks to you all we will definitely be back...😋😋

Excellent Sunday lunch with family. Atmosphere in the pub was amazing. So nice to see this pub buzzing. Our meals were outstanding, warm and nicely presented. Service was quick and efficient. Thank you for the great experience!

Never been to this pub before. Saw some good reviews, so we thought that we would give it a try. Will definitely be coming back! Fantastic food and very friendly staff. Nothing was too much effort. I would definitely recommend the salmon and prawn fishcake. We look forward to returning and trying some of the other pubs that are linked to it.

Been here several times now for both an evening meal and a roast on a Sunday (which really lovely!). Lovely atmosphere inside, staff are always courteous and polite especially with our little one. Well worth a visit, really enjoyed the buttermilk chicken burger on my last visit.

Highly recommend this restaurant especially if staying at Tilford woods lodge retreat- lovely food and very good service

The staff were very courtious. The food was fantastic, very warm feeling on arrival. The outside area was fantastic, allowing the grandkids to enjoy the play area. All round fantastic experience. Our 2nd visit, but certainly not our last.

I haven’t given a one star review purely because the food was actually quite decent, but this had to be one of the worst experiences we’ve ever had in a restaurant. None of our dishes came at the same time, with a huge wait between each arrival, so none of us were eating lunch together. Everything took a ridiculous amount of time to arrive. And even when it did come, there were mistakes, which caused even more delays. I’m not normally one to leave a bad review because I know sometimes these things can’t be helped when it’s so busy etc, but the thing that bothered me most is that nobody even acknowledged or apologised for it or bothered to explain what was happening, until we brought it up ourselves. And the male manager on duty in particular did nothing to try and rectify the issues, even after we brought them up, which to me is really poor form and shows a total lack of care for the customer. One excuse (among many) was that the problems were caused by us moving inside (pinning the blame on us essentially). I’m sorry but all we did was ask to move to an inside table, long before our food arrived, which the manager himself arranged for us, so I don’t see how it could cause so much chaos. In the end we asked for a partial refund, which was given, but to be honest it was far too little, too late. We won’t be coming back. And judging by some of the recent reviews, we’re not the only ones.

We arrived in Tilford for 4 nights R&R on 11th March and visited the Duke of Cambridge on the first evening for dinner. The staff were welcoming and friendly. We ordered drinks and perused the menu, opting for ox cheek pie, pork belly and the Thai chilli pork. My mum and sister enjoyed theirs but my Thai chilli pork was so so salty, I tried to eat it and was hungry enough to but it was just awful and made me feel ill. We told the waitress of the issue when she came to clear the plates, she said she would report that back to the kitchen. We paid the bill in full as there was no recompense offered for the dreadful meal and headed back to our lodge, during the night I was sick as a result. We had intended to eat there all week but after this we went to a different pub down the road which was lovely.

Over priced and underwhelming food. I havent been to this pub for awhile and was extremely disappointed to find it had gone into decline. The place was cold they even provide blankets in the main part of the bar/restaurant, which we had to use to keep warm. The sandwiches we ordered were masquarading as club sandwices. The presentation of the sandwich was poor. It was served on a small wooden platter, totally impractical and it gave us the impression they were trying to 'tart it up' to justify the hefty price tag. My friends and I will not be visiting again and will certainly be telling friends of our experience. I am always fair on my reviews and this review represents my experience at this pub.

Went for a friends birthday after hearing leave reviews about the roast dinner. Arrived and was seated, before the nan says hello he said “you’ve got an hour girls” really?? £23 for a roast beef. 2 very thin slices of beef, 3 small roast potatoes, lots of limp green veg. My friend asked for a portion of cauliflower cheese. I wish I’d taken a photo when it arrived.. it was black, dried out in the tiniest ramekin with absolutely no cheese on it, that wasn’t burnt on anyway. She said can you change it and he very reluctantly did. It was £4.50 or something! Over £100 for 3 roast dinners and a kids meal. It’s a roast dinner. Not exactly hard. Service poor food poor. Won’t be back.

6-7 items was off the menu today due to fan problems, to be honest we was left with a chicken option which was a chicken breast chopped up with tarragon and mushrooms and a wedge of bread. We would not return back to this restaurant at all. Very poor and didn’t even get a discount for the distribution…. Hope you do better, but unfortunately we will not be returning.

A lovely country pub with good food, friendly staff and good local beers 👍

Stopped by on our way home and was happily surprised by fabulous food and a great Tilford pint.

Great food, service and atmosphere. Lovely little pub.

Was a great pub for food a few years ago, but my last visit was a bad experience where both the food and service were poor.

Excellent food, gastro rather than standard menu, and a wide range of drinks. There is a huge outdoor seating area and ample parking.
