The Haycutter in Tandridge

Great venue for excellent cuisine and spacious grounds to enjoy the sun.

We've recommended your venue many times. Erica was particularly helpful this Sunday. A fine asset for your business.The food, as usual, was 'top notch'. Keep up the good work.Peter.

Great food,Beer and service. Looking forward to next visit.

Really delicious food and friendly staff, cosy atmosphere too. Went here for mother's day , very good Aperol spritz 😄

Mothering Sunday visit to this wonderful gastro pub. Food was exceptional and service 5 star. A most enjoyable afternoon with the family.

Nice place, with some gluten free and some dairy free options... but in combination there isn't anything available.

We have just spent a fantastic morning/afternoon at The Haycutter! We arrived this morning to a fabulous complimentary breakfast before heading off for a walk with the dogs. We then stayed on for an amazing Sunday lunch. The people, the staff,the welcome,the food and the atmosphere were outstanding. We drove 40 minutes to visit The Haycutter and it was totally worth it! We will definitely be back.

The Haycutter may be 45 minutes from where we live but it’s well worth the journey. Fantastic food, exceptional service, relaxed atmosphere and proactively dog friendly - all our family love it there! Hats off to Chris and his team for consistently delivering outstanding customer experiences.

Great country pub. Fantastic choice of 'game' dishes and a menu that offers something for everyone.

First time at the Haycutter very very nice Food , service , atmosphere very good. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely place, good food, great service, staff were amazing and so friendly but professional, would definitely recommend

Visited here on a busy Sunday after visiting Chartwell which i nearby. We had pre booked and arrived earlier than our booking but was still seated straight away. We was close to bar area which was busy but gave a nice atmosphere. We did wait a while to order and in the end I did have to ask someone to take it. Starters came promptly. Unfortunately my French onion soup was awful. Tasted of water absolutely no flavour. This was changed quickly and removed from the bill. All mains were thoroughly enjoyed. Meats all cooked lovely and a extra jug of gravy was supplied along with sauces. We had to ask for extra drinks and was only checked in on once or twice throughout whole meal. Staff although clearly busy all looked happy and was helpful if you asked them for something. Toilets all clean and so was tables and cutlery. We would definitely go back maybe one evening when it's less busy. Reasonably priced and great selection of beers and soft drinks.

Lovely pub with really delicious food Nice friendly staff

Lovely to find somewhere with atmosphere, warm and friendly staff. Well priced menu. The only thing negative was unfortunately the table flowers were definitely past their brightest!

First time visiting following a recommendation - lovely food with a good varied menu, quick service despite being so busy. We will definitely be returning

Incredible roast served in really good time for a large table of 9 - very impressive service and a lovely atmosphere, loved the big round table we were seated at and the fireplace nearby!

Lovely atmosphere and great food. Very good quality and a perfect place for nice dinners

This was starting to become a favourite for a pint or two. Sadly on our visit this evening the service was so poor. We stood at the bar for what seemed like an eternity only to watch the two bar staff just ignore us. No “sorry we will be with you in moment” or even a smile. We gave it a few more minutes but we thought it was just too rude as we watched one just start to clear glasses and disappear out the back. It wasn’t even busy. We were so annoyed we walked out without getting served and we decided to also cancel our Sunday lunch we had booked and decided to book elsewhere. Two stars because our other visits were better. But this is just a very quick way to loose your customers. A smile and be with you in a moment would have been all that would have saved it. Shame.

Fabulous pub, with great food and six cask ales when I went. Lovely inside and out, with plenty of space. Well worth a visit.

Came here for my uncles baby gender reveal and the food was amazing! Even though the drive was about 50 mins away me and my partner will defo be coming back!

My favourite pub. Love this place. Great atmosphere. Great food. Good service. Plus dogs are welcome. Great as I have one!!

Lovely attentive staff, fantastic food and a great setting. Definitely worth a visit. We will be booking again.

Best pub in Oxted and surrounding areas! Highly recommend

Food was so so good, and the atmosphere was really happy and relaxed. Portion sizes are big, quality is high, service staff are quick, friendly and reliable and overall the experience is brilliant

Real good ambiance. The fire reflecting off the ceiling, warm atmosphere, what more do you want?

Had the best New Year's Eve ✨️ Lovely staff, great disco excellent food, 👏 👍🏻

One of the most homeliest pubs - great roast, log fires and board games for the family! Dog friendly too.. a gem in Oxted!

We both find it's always a pleasure to go here & yesterday was no exception. The restaurant still had a lovely festive Christmassy atmosphere, excellent service, great menu choices & delicious food (the Chestnut Gnocchi, Fish & Venison were all fabulous). But, the icing on the cake was when my dessert arrived, decorated with a candle and the staff stood by our table & sang Happy Birthday to me!!

Excellent menu with a good choice, very nice food, good selection of drinks and Lovely staff, definitely recommend.

The food was well cooked and tasted delicious. The pub was exceptionally busy but the service still remained top dollar

We are local but avoid the Haycutter as the service is always sooo slow. But we thought we'd give them another try. The pub is gorgeous, especially at Christmas. Lovely atmosphere, food tasty. But honestly the service is poor. Despite being the first ones in at Opening, we were not greeted with a warm welcome. They took ages to take our orders. The food was prompt but coffee's took ages after our meal. I wouldn't rush back and would only recommend if you're not in a rush!

Excellent friendly service. Warm cost environment really nice staff

Lovely atmosphere and great food. A little pricey but it's near Oxted so what do you expect.

Sunday roast at the haycutter is always something to look forward to, especially at Xmas when the pub is fully decorated very tastefully. The log fires adding to the ambience to make it a lovely festive roast dinner. Very enjoyable.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had for ages. You always worry when coming later in day on Sunday, especially when as busy as they clearly were, but it was absolutely delicious. Highly recommend both the lamb roast & mixed roast!

Really lovely pub. The serving staff were outstanding; helpful, polite, professional, smiley! The food was absolutely delicious. We had venison and beouf bouginion, couldn’t fault it. We had three types of desert: triple chocolate , cheesecake, waffles - delicious

Had a great Xmas lunch here on Sunday. The food and service was top draw. My first time here will definitely be going back.

I was recommended this pub and we were not disappointed- actually exceeded our expectations. Beautiful setting lovely cosy feel and decor. Service was excellent and food impeccable. I had parsnip pear soup followed by beef bourginon. My husband had from the set menu fish cakes sirloin steak and sticky toffee pud.

Excellent experience staff helpful meal was to a good standard, beer is good what more can you say.

Lovely restaurant/pub Staff very attentive. 2 fires going. Maybe need a sweep out. Quite a strong smokey smell is the only downside I have The food was lovely, staff attentive and very accommodating. Allergens asked about and taken seriously. Thanks to the chefs for making a cracking set of meals for 6 adults ans 2 little ones.

What's not to love about this? 3 mates. 3 chairs. Roaring fire, lovely staff and great choice of beer! A day well spent!

I had a delightful Sunday lunch. The food was of exceptional quality and abundant. What truly distinguishes this establishment is its remarkable accommodation of gluten-free dietary preferences. One does not feel marginalized or inconvenienced in any way. I wholeheartedly recommend this establishment to individuals adhering to a gluten-free diet.

Eight of us came to eat lunch today for our annual family reunion. The roasts was generous in serving but not the the Tagliatelle. The portion was tiny that I actually enquired whether it was a child portion served to me. I am a very slow eater but I finished the meal before the other family member even had half of their food. The waitress said that it is therir usual portion across all of their restaurants (when she enquired about my query in the kitchen) . I would suggest to the restaurant to try the portion they serve as definitely it was not we enough and I'm a small person or it could be amistake was committed in the kitchen with the portion they prepared. The cost of the meal does not reflect the price sadly. I would be happy to pay gladly but it should at least meet basic expectations. I went home hungry & disappointed. Otherwise, service was good and the place looks great.

We had a family celebration for 4 birthdays here, and even though they were extremely busy, we still had good service and excellent food. It's a nicely decorated venue with a nice, family friendly vibe that includes dogs

Being local I tend to visit fairly often, not so much for food anymore. But atleast twice a month for drinks. Usually a great experience however on my last visit I was made to feel so uncomfortable by the staff. Never have I experienced such snobbery and rudeness. Dismissive attitude, whispering and glances between colleagues. Appalling behaviour from bar staff. We ended up finishing our drink outside and heading to the Red Barn to finish our night.

The Haycutter in Oxted is a benchmark for how to run a pub with a restaurant. Where other remote location pubs blame low customer numbers on the lack of footfall, the Haycutter thrives because of the effort they put into making it an exceptional destination. Every member if staff is friendly and helpful, where nothing seems to be too much trouble. The menu is varied enough and caters well for gluten free diets, and the food is plentiful, great quality and value. Since it's reopening in 2017 (and it's incredible selection of over 50 gins) we have been regular visitors and would highly recommend it.

Great family atmosphere. We had the perfect Sunday roast and the staff are so kind and attentive.

The Haycutter gets many things right but I often leave feeling stressed out, just like I did last Friday when dining with friends. The beer/wine/food choice was great and our meals were good (with one exception). We were shown to our table and given water but this person did not return with menus and there were no staff to ask. So I went to the bar, asked for menus and was told they would be taken to the table. I got our drinks from bar (as it's always quicker) and got back to find there were no menus, so went back to the bar to get them myself. We ordered starters and mains and when my fish stew arrived, it had 5 muscles and 4 prawns but no seabass or hake as per the menu. The waitress went to the kitchen leaving the plate with me but did not come back with any response until another member of staff presented me with a plate of plain fish/seafood for me to stir into the rest of the dish. It tasted fine but was an unbelievable way to deal with the issue. This is not uncommon and why we tend to come for drinks only. The biggest issue is always the service. There are always lots of staff around the bar but almost no-one paying any attention to the customers and table service is appalling. I don't blame the staff - they are often young, probably inexperienced and don't appear to get any proper training or supervision. I guess the pub is so busy the management don't care.

Just been here for the first time and what a lovely place very helpful staff excellent menu but advise booking a table as very popular

Great good, good service, all round lovely pub especially after a long cold walk with the dog!

As a family, we have visited the Haycutter regularly, since we moved to the area 2 years ago. We have always been happy overall with the service and quality of the food, but unfortunately our last 3 visits have made us decide never to return. The staff are friendly, helpful and the overall atmosphere is nice, but the quality of the food and raised prices have forced our hand. For example, £15 for a Pimms is crazy. Also, the food we were served last night was rubbish. One meal, the fish stew, had a worryingly strong acidic taste and mussels that even Bear Grills would think twice about eating. Overall presentation of the meals was on par with a dropped kebab on a Friday night. Overall, a shame to leave this negative review but the Haycutter needs to sort themselves out.

I popped in for a quick pint while on a walk. It's a free house, and had a great selection of real ales (about £5 per pint). I plumped for Shere Drop from the Surrey Hills Brewery, never having drunk it before. It was a lovely pint. Nice pub, great drinks selection, does food, spacious and a huge beer garden. It caters for families too.

Lovely spacious pub, friendly attentive staff. Visited again for Sunday lunch yesterday and it was even better.

Been about half a dozen times and the staff are always excellent. Food is great too.

A lovely evening. Excellent selection of drinks and meal choices. Excellent quality. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Hunters chicken was delicious!

Kids pasta was a bit meh (and they did try to accommodate so thats appreciated), but overall food, staff and atmosphere were great!

Very friendly pub restaurant was great service. Really good gluten free menu options. Food was delicious. And dog friendly too.

Sunday roast ,great can't fault this place , service a little slow, very busy. Well done !

We have been here several times and always had a fantastic time and amazing food, sadly this time, it was extremely disappointing and will never be returning. Couldn't wait for our Sunday booking. We brought our 18 month old and 3 year old at 12.00 booking, sadly but unsurprisingly after an hour and a half, they didn't want to sit in their seats any more and no snacks would keep them still any longer! We took them in the family garden and then brought them in while we waited for our deserts. They wandered around happily, with me apologizing for getting in anyones way. All staff were kind and welcoming as you would expect for a family pub on a Sunday. I was then gobsmacked when the manager came past huffing and puffing rudely and dismissively asked me to "keep my children in their seats", he then walked off whilst I was in mid reply telling him sadly that was impossible! My 18 month old would not be kept in his seat again! The same manager with even more of an attitude this time told me, mum, to get my children "in their seats". I question whether he would talk to a man with the same disregard. We have always taken our well behaved children everywhere since small babies, Nobu, the Dorcester, Claridges, every pub in north London and most restaurants, we have always been welcomed and accommodated, I have never once been spoken to with such rudeness and attitude! Definitely not what we were expecting from a big family pub in the country! Another lady who saw how I was spoken to told me how it was completely unjustified it was and how well behaved my children were. Obviously, I was extremely unpset, and in complete shock, we then felt there was no choice but to cancel the deserts and asked for the bill from the same manager. The manager was unapologetic. My husband was very upset to hear how I was spoken to not once, but twice and thought it was unacceptable. Again, he was met with rudeness and was told not to come back, to which he understandably lost his temper! I would be really interested in talking to the ownership about our experience and if they think the way we were treated was acceptable, or like the management they considered children as an inconvenience and if they're not sitting down they're not welcome?

Great food and lovely atmosphere

Always a pleasant experience at the hay cutter, plenty of space and tables,plus a good size disabled toilet, always a must for me, the food and service is usually of a consistent high standard,I had a main of pork and leek sausages with mash, Savoy cabbage and an onion gravy! It was delicious with the sausages being of great quality. No dessert, but they are generally of a high standard. As long all a very nice place to eat.

Went for a family Sunday lunch and it was all really delicious! The staff were very busy but friendly and attentive. It can can a little noisy when it’s busy but most of us didn’t mind that. Would definitely recommend and hope to go back soon

Great atmosphere and food was very good. I would highly recommend . Service was also very good considering there was a very busy provider function on at the same time.

Impromptu Sunday lunch with the dog. We didn't have a roast, as we've never found better than our own. Lovely Gin of the week, and variety of starters. Service was friendly but slightly haphazard. Tables are well spaced and easy access to the bar. Thanks team

Came here with my son and daughter for catch-up lunch. The food was lovely but the service - they forgot about us and our drinks took ages to arrive apparently they were not on the system??? Anyway apart from that it was really nice , we sat outside understeer umbrella shade as it was very warm . Lovely place and gorgeous to sit outside .

It was the best time I had in a long time I couldn't ask for anything better food service and price was good. I would highly recommend.

Amazing as always, plus gluten free beer and oat milk! One of my favourite places to go in Surrey

Great pub, very friendly, fab food, decent price

We visited the Haycutter for the first time today - we are local and cannot understand why we have never found this gem before. Our conclusion was 'it was the best meal we have ever had' cooked to perfection and well looked after by the staff on what was a very hot day for them all - great time thankyou

Upmarket pub with lovely terraces and excellent bar selection. Very nice, happy, helpful and polite staff. Good sized car park. I'll go again soon.

The Haycutter is a pub/restaurant offering top food. The ingredients were fresh and of high quality.. I can recommend the Courgette salad and crispy chicken burger with katsu mayo and chips. It was cooked to perfection, good quality chicken! Presentation of both dishes 5 out of 5!

Drinks only today. Beautiful pub in a great location. Sat outside in the sun, chatting the day away with my beautiful wife. What more could you wish for ?

Food average. Very slow service, as always.

A disappointing lunch - stay away from the burger, McD does better than the Haycutter by a long margin in both taste and presentation - friendly attitude from staff but poor performance; had to ask twice for our drinks and twice for tea (and then again, ask for milk). Pretty basic stuff that should come quickly… it’s a lovely pub in a great location but not just up to the task on that day in August!

First time here & a very enjoyable lunch. Seating available outside but ate inside as full outside, which was fine. Beautifully furnished & decorated inside with ample, spacious seating. Nice that the tables are spread out & not on top of one another. Can easily accommodate large parties. Steak sandwich was very nice. Other meal was a vegetarian quiche with homemade potato salad & was also very tasty - quiche quite pricey though for what it was. Glass of rosé was on the warm side & needed to be chilled more. Staff attentive & friendly & service good considering quite busy. Will return!

This is the best pub around. Exceptional staff and amazing food. Highly recommend for Sunday lunch or any other meal for that matter. Priced really well, too.

Lovely setting, very green and beautiful. Service was excellent, very attentive and courteous. Only reason for the 4 star on food was the roast potatoes were very hard, clearly very over cooked. Otherwise great, would recommend for sure!

Well run pub with good food and lovely garden. Will go again

Food was middle of the road. Lagers are limited...Guinness is watery. Patrons are rude and obnoxious. Staff were attentive, doing their best but all young girls....could have done with some experience behind the bar.

Food could have been hotter. Service started well. Mains took a very long time. I had to be very persistent to get a menu for deserts. Bright and airy atmosphere.

Lovely Pub, Great range of food and constantly changing menus. Very friendly and polite Staff. Good outdoor space, cosy atmosphere.

Exceptional experience. 10/10 in every aspect.parking, location, friendly staff, amazing food, excellent decor, brilliant entertainment and Best pub I have ever been to. Definitely a must!

A1 all round. Wonderful place, lovely atmosphere and service. Food and drink always excellent.

Really loved this gorgeous old pub. Sweet staff, nice food, gorgeous location. Will be returning soon!

You can tell they have spent some serious money here. Good pub with nice food. Revisited after a long walk. Very pretty flower beds lots of tables with space between them, so you don't feel crushed.

Lovely place to eat, very varied menu. Staff all young, and so friendly and helpful. A good place to eat, the gardens are very well maintained.

At these prices if the quality is not very good then the net result is poor. Quantity was average by today's standards (i.e. poor). Salad/lettuce was yellow and limp. It's just not ok. The taste was at best zero 'special'. For these prices, just not ok. With good quality ingredients this would have been ok. Just looked at some if the 5'*' reviews. Seems to be the fish and chips brigade, and most of its got nothing to do with food.

Great Pub, large car park, large selection of ales, good food and very pleasant staff, also large outdoor seating.

A return after a our last visit 2 summers previously. 4 of us stopped for an early lunch and sat outside in the gorgeous sun. Staff were very attentive and friendly. Having got there for when they opened on a Tuesday, we were surprised to see the tables fill up by 1pm. Very popular. Food was excellent and good value. Highly recommend.

Thought £19 for a glass of wine and a guinness was rather expensive.

Had a great evening for my wife's birthday food was superb waitress was great, one of our guests was gluten free/vegetarian and they made a menu especially for her. (lovely touch) We will definitely be back.

First time there, great service, great food and a lovely environment. Look forward to returning soon

DO NOT GO IF YOU WANT TO BE QUICK. We sat down at 6:45 and left at 9:30. We wanted a quick (ish) meal and we waited 30 mins for our drinks, 45 mins for our starters and a further 50 mins for our mains. By the point the mains arrived we had lost our appetite. The service also wasn’t particularly accommodating, barely apologised. The pub itself is a lovely pub and had a good atmosphere but not worth the food. Also considering it was £190 for the 5 of us. An absolutely shocker of the meal. Going to the Barley Mow every time from now on, will avoid the Haycutter going forward

We had a super time thank you Haycutter ! Could not fault anything ! Will be back for sure ! Highy recommend the Sunday roast 👌🏻

Gorgeous outdoor seating, but service is really slow at the moment and you wait around 30 mins for food to come out, which feels very slow compared to all the other pubs in the area.

Turned up without a booking and they found us a table for 3 even though they were extremely full and busy. Can’t fault the Haycutter.

Never disappoints. Particularly pretty garden in summer. Nice trip out with friends or couples.

I was a bit disappointed that my bread selection came with nothing and the main meals a little bit on the pricey side

This place was a hit for our family. They had great service. Friendly server. Food took a few minutes longer than typical because they were surprised by a busier night than expected but the server told us and apologized before I noticed which is a big win in my book. They even tried to make me a martini I like from the States. The fish and chips were the best I’ve had. They fried it perfectly. Phenomenal. My daughter loved her pasta, the swingset, and the tractor. They even have a dog menu here! Great place to visit.

Had a fantastic experience here. Couldn't fault any element of this pub, will definitely be returning. Great spot for a warm afternoon in the sun.
