The Haycutter in Tandridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

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!

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.

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!

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.

1st visit and will 100% be going back Great service Wonderful food Brilliant friendly atmosphere

Service was fabulous, particularly Izzy who treated my inlaws beautifully and was very helpful with their dietary needs.

Nice place and friendly staff. Food wise it is good. I had fish and chips and little bit more resting would have drained the oil but apart from that it is tasty and nicely cooked chunky chips!

If in the past you have enjoyed the Haycutters battered cod chips and peas you may be disappointed should you order in the future. The portion of cod has been reduced by a third, likewise the plate, much smaller, which gives the impression its still the same size meal. The price is the same but customers comments confirm my review

Lovely large pub, surrounded by country. Nice outside space (although was a little too cold for us to enjoy, but in summer, will be great). Plentiful parking. Games available Seperate kids menu and lovely food options. Service was attentive and buzzy atmosphere

Excellent meal as always Love the variety on the menu and the food is always well cooked and presented. Great service and atmosphere. We now live in the US and whenever we come to the UK we always come to the Haycutter - we love it!

Consistently good food and service.

Really good good food and drink can't fault it at all

Lovely sunny Monday lunch meeting. Super smiley service from little Izzy and a gorgeous steak sarnie - smashed it!

Wonderfully attentive and prompt staff – thank you for a very pleasant first visit and I will definitely repeat the very satisfying experience. We didnt have any food hence the lack of grading.

Slightly pricey for a big family but lovely and spacious with a large outdoor sitting space and delicious food.

What a good team, popped in at lunch and everyone was very welcoming. We sat at the larger fire place and the two girls covering that area were at our service straight away for anything.. Food... 👍 Thanks All.

A belated review for the Haycutter on 23/3/24. An excellent evening organised by my husband and sons for a very special birthday. The team accommodated 18 of us which I know is above there usual number. The front of house team was led by Laura and they all went over and above to make it a special night. The kitchen led by Shane produced and outstanding meal. Apologies to other guests who kindly put up with our exuberant guest sharing the birthday singing, thank you. All in all a night I will never forget, thank you to the whole team. Well done Chris for your brilliant team, do look after and keep them!

Really nice place, food good, staff very friendly, will come back again definitely

Very nice pub, but the food is below average.

We paid a visit here on our classic scooters one Saturday, made feel welcome, great beer garden and choice of real ales, lagers. Staff very busy but still service with a smile

Delighted we found The Haycutter! We had a wonderful meal and loved the place. We will be back!

10/10. The menu is varied and you’re spoilt for choice. Can’t beat the Sunday roast dinners.

Excellent service, a wonderful relaxed evening out with friends. No where better to go in the area

A lovely pub with great staff. Can get busy.

We have been here a few times and been ok. The last time and our visit today was awful. Service very slow, no one brings you a menu.we ordered drinks from the bar and called a waitress over to order food. Staff not interested in doing their job. Food poor. Such a shame for a beautiful pub and surroundings. Large car park a bonus. We won't be going back.

Great meal as always! Always enjoy the Haycutter.

Never went there, drove past during heavy rain! Going home!!

Eat here last night food good service bad. Didn't like eating with dogs in room and dog kept barking

Love the gluten free options! Fish and chips are the best in the country!

Fantastic traditional English country pub. Popped-in for lunch.Food was lovely, in particular the steak sandwich.

Food was good, good service, quick, friendly staff

Lovely food and good service. Dog friendly too

Great place to eat for my mother in laws birthday. Great place to eat and great outdoor space for children to run about.

Great location great atmosphere

Another great Sunday lunch at the Haycutter. A welcoming roaring fire on a cold January day is just what we needed . Excellent roasts, pie and fish filled us all up that there was no room for pudding! So, will definitely be returning to sample more yummy food soon. Well done everybody at the Haycutter 😁😁😁

Excellent food and service,can get very busy,can get a bit noisy when full,great experience overall.

Just a beautiful pub with fabulous food and ambience. Outstanding. Would love to return sometime. Beautiful place.

I had booked lunch for my family and our puppy. I’d been clear in my booking that I would have appreciated being seated in a quiet place due to having the puppy and enabling him to settle. When we arrived at the pub we were met with a rude member of staff who was stood behind the bar. He showed me my table which was in the middle of the busy bar. I explained that I had let them know about my request, only to receive quite a stern response. What’s most baffling is that they had free tables away from the bar, lots of them - but he wasn’t warm or forthcoming in giving us one. The waiter who served us was equally as rude. On a positive the food was ok, but I’m not inclined to pay £250+ for 6 people only to be spoken to rudely and feel reprimanded.

Popped in for a drink lovely lively atmosphere mixed families enjoying themselves

Alicia, our waitress was so helpful.

Amazing place. Great staff and company we were with. The food especially the Crispy Beef salad was bloody amazing. Could eat that every day. Took a bit of time for drinks, even though it wasn’t really busy. But hey, no big deal. Great food, place and polite friendly staff done the trick. Thanks and a very warm thanks for the evening. Happy Christmas.

Service was quite slow but very busy, so ok.

Excellent service, very good mulled wine and food.

Really well managed, the food was served on time, and all was as expected. We chose the Christmas menu and were a party of 9, including 4 under 16's. Nice experience.....would happily return.

Living fairly local to this pub, we popped in for dinner to celebrate our daughter's birthday. We ordered our pre-dinner drinks, which took an unreasonable amount of time to receive and had to remind the waitress. My wife had the ox cheek pasta, which was not very appealing at all and a rather small serving. I had the pork belly, which really was just one pork cutlet and not pork belly at all. we raised this with the manager, however the chef challenged some of this, which as a customer is rather disappointing. I am all for supporting the local enterprises in this day and age, however we experienced very poor service and over priced food and will not be returning to this establishment.

Amazing find on our way back from Brighton. Excellent choice & well laid out Restaurant. Would recommend highly

The staff were wonderful. Friendly, polite and attentive. With three log fires the ambiance was warm and welcoming. I had the steak sandwich. Could have been easier to eat if the steak had been sliced more thinly into slender ribbons with the gristle removed. Otherwise a perfect visit. Many thanks.

Great food in a very comfortable setting.

Food delicious, tastefully presented. Decor also pretty. Staff helpful.

Excellent food and friendly service

Wonderful country pub with good food and good service. Dog friendly with cosy open fires.

Always packed out on weekends so I thought the food would be better, not as good as it was 2 years ago. £23 for a cod loin with seafood stew turned out to be mainly potatoes, I dont eat or like potatoes so a waste of money for a disappointing plate of food. My friend had the salmon with lentils and veg, looked nice but there were so many lentils she left most of them. Bulking out a dish with the cheapest ingredient seems to be the thing now days, typical of British pubs I suppose but charging as much as possible. Staff were friendly as always but seems to be better to order basic things like the steak Baguette or snack bits here. Best for drinks as super dog friendly and a nice place to hide from awful british weather.

Excellent food and service with special consideration for allergies.

Good all round. It was a beautiful day and we would have been able to sit outside if my niece had bothered to check the weather forecast and hadn't chosen a woolly winter two piece costume. Pub was great and can be unreservedly recommended!

Very nice food. Nice surrounding. Had a little wait for food but worth it . It's was busy Not changed.

Lovely place to eat. Great food and atmosphere. Extensive and varied menu. Visited Friday evening for an occasion meal with family. Had a really good time, and will be visiting again. Highlights for me were the crispy beef salad main, and the sticky toffee pudding desert which were delicious. All the deserts were enjoyed though. Why not 5 stars overall? Well, it was close, but the beef steak main lacked flavour, which was disappointing as it was very expensive. Also, the ox cheek pasta dish was very small, almost a child's portion. Service was friendly, but a little slow, maybe short of staff? Still highly recommend though.

Average pub food and atmosphere

Met with family and friends for my sons birthday. Great atmosphere and dog friendly.

Lovely pub with a great mixed selection of real ales and a super outdoor eating area. Monstrous sandwiches! Clearly the team care about their pub.

They invited me and I had a great time.

Stunning pub. Incredible food, and friendly kind staff. Will be back for sure. Thank you.

I had the fishcake, and they have changed the receipe has changed. No sauce was very dry.

The food was lovely. Service was a bit slow but the staff were friendly and helpful. Great atmosphere. ☺️

Great place, tasty food, reasonable menu, average Surrey gastropub prices; good service. We'll be back.

Great staff who are extremely professional.

A fantastic pub/restaurant with delicious food. We went on a Sunday and the roasts were great (shout out to the nut roast!), the desserts were also all very good, especially the apple sorbet and salted caramel waffle. I would also like to say a huge thank you to the staff - our little corgi had hurt her paw on a walk (got a nasty thrown stuck in it, poor thing) and after we got it out the staff were so sweet helping us clean her up and bringing her treats to distract her. We are so grateful for their kindness and help.

Very nice place, had the vegan burger at lunch on a Saturday. Food was great, staff all friendly!

Lovely restaurant with outdoor tables as well if the weather allows. Lods of free parking Food is really great And staff are friendly and helpful

Really lovely setting, food and staff. Service was slow glad we was not restricted on time. But staff we’re so lovely, polite and a joy to be around. Food was outstanding in taste - would certainly visit again.

Beautiful location and food and service good. Busy place.

Lovely place. Great food and service
