The Harrow - Chaldon, Caterham in Tandridge

Lovely pub with great ambience. Food is good, even though I found some of the roast lamb slightly chewy. They have a good menu with lots of choice including a set menu.

It's not cheap but the standard of food is very good and lovely atmosphere

Quiet drink with friends at lunchtime. Lovely pub, and great service. Love that there is more than one room to sit in. It’s very cosy.

Came here today for the first time , had a drink and food ! Quiet expensive but food was delicious! Staff are very accommodating, had a small issue but was quickly dealt with , and staff apologised straight away ! Will definitely come again

Whether we want to grab a quick bite or if we are celebrating, The Harrow has become our family's favourite place to go. The food is always excellent. We have never had a bad meal and the staff are just lovely. Highly recommend!!!

Excellent food clean and super friendly

Great for bringing dogs. More importantly though was the excellent level of food and service. They even had excellent vegan options for one of our friends.

Had a very nice meal at the Harrow. Good food, very good friendly service with staff who are well informed and very helpful and friendly.

I have used the Harrow a number of times over the years. The owners have changed in that time but standards have stayed high and it’s always a good experience. Good selection of food. I had the fish and chips which was substantial and well prepared…£20, which is perfectly reasonable for a restaurant. Good selection of decent wine. Staff are friendly and attentive. All in all a good experience…put it on your list.

Food was excellent and large portions! However once the pub got busy the service got slower and slower. This meant people arriving for tables booked later in the day were left waiting for people to finish meals. Due to this the bar became crowded and staff therefore struggled to get to tables. I saw one young waiter wandering around with roast dinners as couldn’t find where there were supposed to be. Also disappointing that some roasts became unavailable by 2pm - not really on when you know number of tables booked and it’s Sunday!

Amazing food, well presented and DANG SUCCULENT.

I took my Mum, daughter and baby for a belated Mother's Day lunch. We chose to sit at a table in the garden and our waitress was very patient as we selected which one (my Mum has mobility issues and also didn't want to sit directly in the sun so she tried a couple to see which one she liked best). Our waitress went out of her way to help make Mum comfortable. She also kindly offered to take photographs of us altogether. Her service was very efficient and the food delicious: fish n chips, prawn curry, caesar salad and chicken. The atmosphere was perfect - a calm, relaxing Friday lunch in the sunshine with friendly staff and excellent food. I have been before and will go again and recommend others to do the same! 😊

This is our regular pub. The food is superb (burgers in particular), the beer well-kept, the wine list solid, and the staff friendly and highly competent - please bring back the nachos

So impressed by the Harrow. Chosen to celebrate an important birthday, the food, service and warmth was amazing for a Tuesday evening! Thank you and we will definitely be back!

Another lovely evening at the Harrow. But a plea from the boys - PLEASE, PLEASE can you fix the gents loo as it’s always very wet on the floor by the right-hand urinals

Food not exceptional but 7 adults satisfied. Very typical pub. Good beer.

We had my uncles wake at the pub today , it could not have been better .super food and so helpful thank you to all the team John and steph

Beautiful historic pub on the Pilgrims Way trail. Definitely worth a stop for some local cider or beer. I ordered a pulled pork burger. The burger was a bit soggy (if the base of the buns were toasted it might have been better). The sauce could have been spicy. The service however compensated. The young waiter was very kind and served me on the terrace even though the terrace is usually self service.

Had the hummus with pitta bread, always have this it’s lovely. I would give 5 stars if it wasn’t so expensive

We had our first late lunch in the sun today!! The pub was super busy (Sunday) but the service was still outstanding and the food was excellent! I had a chicken Ceasar salad and my husband had a chicken burger. Both dishes were delish, fresh tender chicken breast, well seasoned, just perfect! The best salad I had in long time! See you soon for more food!

A lovely country pub with a good menu, great food and a friendly atmosphere.

Great country pub with lovely gardens and surrounding walks. We love coming here. Thank you.

We love coming here. We came this time for a family special birthday. Food as always was great and the service very personable.

Fab roast dinners x 2 …… all items cooked to perfection

Great food and service-the roast dinner was excellent.

The Harrow is superb. Good food, great friendly service every time we come.

Absolutely applauded we had a reservation at 4:15 on Sunday. We were sat straight away which was the only positive. We ordered drinks and were then told they were already out of every roast option other than chicken which I find crazy considering it was prime dinner time. We sat down didn’t finish our drinks because there was no point. We then didn’t get an apology for the inconvenience. If they know they are busy they need to be prepared especially when they tell you that they are so busy. Unacceptable this was also our first time here as we live locally will definitely not be recommending to others.

New menu good service well done harrow great roast btw

Suitable seating allowed us to keep Bentley with us. So you definitely get the dog vote.

Had an absolutely delicious meal. Venison pie from the specials menu was the best pie I've had in years, and they had a really good selection of vegetarian and vegan options. Dessert was great too. Service was really friendly. Will definitely go again. Thanks!

My friend and I had a nice lunch today. We were for the set menu £25 for.main and dessert. We opted for fish and chips. Lively and hot, nice chips, big.portion. the dessert however, was gorgeous. My friend had choc brownie with hot choc sauce and I had the ice cream sundae. Big portions and beautifully presented. 😍 the staff are lovely very efficient friendly and welcoming. It was quiet for a Saturday aft but we enjoyed it. 😉 would love to go back for dessert and coffee. Thanks for taking care of us two.mad ladies 🚺 ❤️ 💕 😘 💖 ♥️ 🚺

Excellent food and good service in a lovely atmosphere

I had such a great time celebrating my birthday at The Harrow. A table for 23 people, the staff were extremely helpful and friendly. Food was delicious! Would recommend!

We visited this pub recently, and while the atmosphere was nice, the food didn’t quite live up to expectations. It was decent but nothing special. Given the high prices, we were expecting something more impressive. For the cost, we felt the quality just wasn’t good enough. A bit disappointing, considering the overall experience. On a positive note, the staff was friendly, nice, and attentive, which definitely added to the experience.

Fantastic chicken and Ham Hock pie . One of the best I’ve ever had 👍🏻

Great local pub serving delicious food, fairly priced for the quality. Friendly, attentive staff.

The food was tasty and freshly prepared. The staff were efficient, friendly and attentive. The atmosphere was pleasant but unfortunately marred by some young children who were very noisy and not kept in check by their parents. Not the Harrow’s fault at all, but they did spoil a Girls Chatty lunch. We will be back though!

Really lovely country pub, with a decent menu and lively staff.

Went for drink after walking dogs. Bustling but seats available.

A fun evening spent with friends a generous food offering and excellent service

Love the Harrow, and at the moment the food is good. Big portions!

I've been to the Harrow a few times and it never lets me down, the food is amazing and the staff are welcoming. Ace venue!

Monday evening ..booked a table in the bar as we have a small dog..3 adults...it was a bit squashed in the corner but adequate for an hour half ..food was nice ...freshly cooked ...waiter was polite and helpful.. we use this pub quite often and it is always nice atmosphere ..staff are always friendly.

Lovely atmosphere and though we were late in the evening we were warmly welcomed. Delicious, generous food. The service was attentive, swift but relaxed. Wonderful.

Friendly welcoming staff, excellent food and drinks 5*

Lovely country pub and food very good, *but* took an hour to be served after our prebooked time and my wife's roast was covered in gravy after we had made it specifically clear that she didn't want any. And there is a dreadful damp smell around the garden entrance caused by missing roof tiles, of which the staff seemed unaware

The archetypal local. The authentic pub experience. Kind of place you wouldn’t mind taking your parents. Or your mates. Truly one of my favourites.

Simply the best Sunday roast we have had out in YEARS. Wine list was good all very drinkable. Service was somewhat chaotic but could be due to Sunday Lunch rush. Will definitely be back, the rest of the menu looked good too so look forward to that!

Food was excellent and service was good. Would definitely go back in the future

The food was decent, and the atmosphere was inviting—cozy and lively, perfect for a relaxed day.The service was decent, though nothing remarkable. However, we were surprised when asked to leave a card on file or pay upfront. Having been to many pubs, this was a first for us( except Wetherspoon )Since we didn’t have a physical card, we had to pay upfront, which felt a bit out of place. Overall, it’s a nice spot with good food and a great vibe, but the payment policy was an unexpected inconvenience and felt awkward .

Extremely Disappointing Experience - Avoid at All Costs My partner and I visited this pub restaurant today, hoping for a pleasant lunch. Unfortunately, it turned out to be one of the worst dining experiences we’ve ever had. We started with a coffee and sparkling water, which were thankfully decent. However, the problems began when we ordered our starters and main dishes. We were required to pay in advance, which struck us as odd—why pay for something we haven’t even received yet? After a long 30-minute wait, our starters arrived, and they were, to put it mildly, terrible. The food was of poor quality, bordering on junk, and we couldn’t even finish it. But the real issue arose with the main course. We both ordered a lamb dish from the menu priced at £22 each lamb meal. What arrived was an Indian-style lamb dish—a fact that was not mentioned anywhere on the menu. Neither my partner nor I enjoy Indian cuisine, and we certainly didn’t expect to be served it without any warning. We called the manager over to address the issue. Instead of being helpful, she was dismissive, asking only, “Are you sure you don’t want this?” When we explained that we couldn’t eat the dish, she simply took our plates away without offering any solution or apology. No refund, no alternative meal, nothing. After waiting in vain for any sort of resolution, my partner had to go inside to speak with the manager again. The response was shocking—she was extremely rude and completely unconcerned about our dissatisfaction. Despite our polite explanation that the menu did not indicate the dish was Indian, the manager refused to do anything about it. She wouldn’t return our money, nor would she offer any alternative. Her attitude was dismissive, unprofessional, and downright insulting. How can a restaurant serve food without accurately describing it on the menu? How can they make customers pay before they’ve even seen their food? This place is an absolute disgrace, with terrible food, appalling customer service, and a manager who clearly does not care about her customers. I wouldn’t recommend this place to anyone. It’s a rubbish establishment with rubbish food and even worse service. Save your money and avoid this place—there are far better options out there!

Lovely spot, quality food for reasonable prices

Good food and drink. Service depends on which staff - but generally good

A local to the Caterham area and well worth the trip if you live further away. Atmosphere of tranquility and country pub/restaurant without being in the middle of nowhere. Quality food and welcoming service! On-site free parking. I would recommend booking in advance as I'm hoping that more of you will consider supporting The Harrow - Chaldon. I will revisit for another meal, and I don't often say that!

Had a family gathering at lunchtime on a Friday, and we were accommodated very well outside. It was the hottest day of the year but felt comfortable under shade. Enough car parking space too. A huge range of items on the menu, and despite an order that included a variety of food, the service was prompt and friendly, and the food was perfect. If I lived nearer this would be my go to place! Highly recommend it.

Stopped here for an evening bite to eat. I have been coming to this pub for over 40 years and not much has changed, which is a good thing. If anything, the food menu is better.

Only my second ever visit! Good beer & excellent food. 2 of us had the irresistible 'Harrow darkness my old friend' - possibly the best vegetarian meal I've ever had. Others had fish & chips, sea bream & chicken milanese. We ran out of room for dessert, sadly. Comfortable, relaxes atmosphere. Surprisingly quiet for a Friday night, but it was a dismal, wet evening. Thoroughly recommended.

I came here not expecting anything out of the ordinary but when my meal came I was thinking its served on a cheese board, I hope it was throughly cleaned. £24 for a grilled chicken burger and a pint of 1664. The burger was cooked but was dripping juices everywhere.. chips were OK but for the price I would have expected maybe some garnish and perhaps less juice. Not really impressed as came away still hungry... sorry guys but if you're going to charge top wack for a meal that isn't you're going to expect a tough review

Pleasant lunch with friends. Good selection of pub food with something for the veggies.

Lovely outside sitting area and on a sunny day great place to enjoy a pub lunch

To be honest… the food has always been good. The service too is on average good except over sunshine weekends and the atmosphere acceptable according to weather and sports… I regularly go midweek for a dinner and a Guinness after work. This evening being a Wednesday, I had an Amstel and was not going to eat but the decide to order a take away so as not to have to cook … ordered a fish cake and Caesar salad (no grilled chicken) to keep it quick and easy as I had 10 mins to place my order… so I made the deadline by 08:30!and time to spare . I received two small take away boxes. A fish cake and sauce in one acceptably. The other small box with my Caesar salad which is half the quantity of what would have been served had I eaten in the club. But however charged £ 20.00. When questioned the lady behind the bar…admitted that this was the same response she asked when handed the order……this is sad and surely an oversight that may cost you my patronage…. Pics are available and happy to share

Only popped in for a quick drink, but the setting was beautiful and the service very friendly

Excellent food but ver poor service

Nice food but expensive compared to other pubs in the region. £5.80 pint Tribute. Fish & Chips £19.50. Service was poor. Sat outside in the garden which was pleasant. The pub could do much more business if the serving staff could be trained to look around and see if customers wanted to order food or drinks. Food took 45mins to arrive. Service tip was optional. Nice pub but not my first choice to repeat experience.

We arrived for lunch without a reservation and although there were not tables inside available we were accommodated in the garden. The staff was very friendly and the food arrived quickly.

Food was freshly cooked and a good price. Have visited the pub a couple of times and always have a good welcome and a nice atmosphere

Very friendly and lovely staff. Good food and atmosphere. It was a bit sunny and we enjoyed the sun in the garden for a while too. Recommended!

What a lovely place. Food was great and they are so welcoming. Definitely be going back.

I had one of the best burgers ever, the food was brilliant, nice people. They also had gluten free so my sister was happy.

Hadn't been here in a few years, its been taken over by new licensee, staff were rude. A friend also went recently and wasn't happy with the food, the chef apparently came out and barred them 😂

Great pub, perfect service and good atmosphere.

Delicous food and a lovely location, right next to some woods with plenty of walking tracks, friendly staff as well.

Unusual management policy? Visit 04/12/23 My wife and I visited following a shopping visit nearby. My wife's Aunt age 90 accompanied us for lunch. Ordered drinks at the table. On delivery my wife asked for a child's menu for her Aunt - (reason) Medical condition + (at 90) can only eat a child's portion of food. The waitress politely declined our request stating management policy. Under 13 years old only can order from the child's menu. Ok - but under the circumstances. My principles set in. I politely declined all the menus. My wife's Aunt is very mobile and regularly visits many food establishments with her friends. In 3 years of having the condition the option to order from a children's menu has never been a problem. We enjoyed our drinks and respectfully paid the £16.45 drinks bill (instead of an estimated £80+ lunch bill). Consequently we moved on to Warlingham resulting without any problems ordering from a child's menu. Final bill £87. Two full paying adults and a child or in our case a 90 year old lady. I would be interested in an explanation from management of The Harrow. This policy can only conclude as a business negative. I feel the management should reconsider the policy going forward as certain situations require common sense. Christmas is a time for family gatherings up to possibly 10+ - including seniors who cannot eat an adult meal anymore. Child portions should be made available for paying customers who want to eat a small meal. Many established food restaurants offer small or large portion options added to the main menu list. This could be worth a consideration going forward. I thank you in advance on this matter.

Service great people great and very helpful. Will use again 👍

Beautiful County’s pub. Large parking area and a garden.

New licencee since my old review. Stayed only for a quick drink and chips Best chips locally. Will go back and get some photos to update

OMG! I didn't expect that! Food was amazing, good service and atmosphere cozy. Had a great lunch and we really enjoyed it! Great to seee such a variety of allergen free menu!Thanks team!

Last minute decision to have lunch out today. Really nice meal. Dog friendly bar area. Great value. Welcoming and friendly staff. Loved it. We will be back.

I have to be honest, I was a bit worried as I had seen a few poor reviews for this pub/restaurant. I needn't have worried. I have no hesitation in saying that this was the best Sunday Roast my wife and I have had in a very long time. Food was cooked to perfection, portions were amazing and service was excellent.

A real little country pub everything was just perfect and it's dog friendly!

What a jem, just got back from a meal at the Harrow, and had to leave a review. The meal was fantastic. The special, a pheasant pie was amazing. Was informed it would be a slight wait as cooked to order but happy to sit and enjoy the drinks (nice bottle of red and the ale was spot on) Dog friendly, always a plus for us, but felt really bad at the end of the meal. There was no option to leave a tip on the card machine, and we only had minimal cash. Our server, a young chap, had been spot on and deserved more than we left. Will be back again for sure.

Exceptional food Pheasant pie was something special

Great food and service. A little chilly, most people kept their coats on

Just had a couple of beers outside really nice pub only stopping it getting a five was the bar person and friend talking about their periods

Thank you so much to the landlady Rachel manager Zoe and the excellent staff who looked after us so well for my husband's surprise party today. From booking to the event we received first class customer service. Lots of attention to detail and thoughtful personal service. The room was decorated beautifully and the food was excellent. A really lovely personal and caring experience. Thank you so much.

Really miserable as have had good experiences previously. How the ploughman’s lunch with soughdough. Why this bread not crusty French bread? Miserable bowl of chips for £5.50.. £16.50 for the ploughman’s and even more because we asked for extra bread. I’m surprised the bread didn’t crack a filling. Service and place generally miserable.. food grim and overpriced but isn’t it everywhere. I wonder if this pub or pubs in general will still be around in 5 to 10 years?

We visited just for drinks on a Wednesday evening, the place is welcoming and friendly, there is a large outdoor seating area so good for kids and dogs. I would visit again in the future for a meal.

Great food, good beer and lovely setting. What is not to like!

First off no Sunday roast, then we waited over an hour for the food, (the pub wasn’t busy at all) the lunch taste ok but there wasn’t much of it tbh, 3 of the thinnest slices of pork belly, 2 small potatoes cut in half and 4 green beans, nobody came over to see if everything was ok, then when we paid nobody thanked us and said goodbye! It’s a pub ! Do what you do best and serve a nice sized Sunday roast with trimmings. I will come back but if it hasn’t changed then I’ll never comeback.

Ridiculously slow service, had to wait for our main food for over an hour without even being offered drinks, we sat with empty glasses for the entire duration without even being told the food would take a long time. The pub was basically empty as well. Do not recommend.

Really enjoyed going there. A couple of minor problems sorted out cheerfully and quickly. We will definitely be back soon

Lovely local pub, great for all the family

Popped in for a quick drink and ended up staying for food. Mussels on the specials board .

Great personal, friendly service

Really great mid-market pub. Staff great, atmosphere and location - what you want from a “rural” local pub. Beer garden (some covered) ideal with woodland setting.

Stopped for lunch during a walk on the North Downs Way. Good choice of food and drinks and good quality too. Very good service.

We had a lovely evening , really enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere thank you 😊

Rachel and her team went above and beyond for our dietary requirements, and the food was amazing as always.

If I could give them 10 stars I would. We recently had to organise a Celebration of life for a close friend. At the time we spoke to several event space holders in the area. The Harrow were the ONLY ones who showed true empathy and care, whilst being exceptionally professional. On the day nothing was too much trouble from downloading our own Spotify playlists to arranging the pub how we liked it and throughout, every team member especially Zoe the manager and Zoe the team member showed genuine care. Rachel the owner was so invested in ensuring it went well that she left nothing to chance and was on hand all day to assist where needed. Her care and dedication shone through. The food was superb and everything went really well. Even now when I pop in for a drink, they remember me and also ask how we and our friends family are. I know this review sounds sycophantic but honestly they deserve it. We have also eaten and drunk here several times it was really well prepared and tasty. It is so nice to find a “local” with good people, great food and the best pint of Pride in the area.

Last visited 40 years ago when it was tiny. Still same set up but now much extended. Still a lovely pub tucked away.
