The Old House Inn in Tandridge

Stayed overnight at this restaurant with rooms. Room was spacious and comfortable and easy to get to as on ground level. A member of staff, Luke helped with our cases. The bar was nice, although drinks were quite pricey. The dinner was plentiful and tasty and we had a quiet table in The Snug area. It was a perfect end to a perfect trip to the UK.

Absolutely perfect! About 15 minute taxi from Gatwick airport and all the coziness, friendliness and English cottage atmosphere you could dream of. The rooms are immaculate and linens are so soft and luxurious. This place has so much charm I fell in love and would choose this over any airport hotel! Don’t think twice. The staff were all so kind and friendly. The food had amazing options and wonderful quality they didn’t fall short at all. Our breakfast was included with the cost of our room (8am-10am) and if you cannot make it for breakfast because of an early flight they offer a continental breakfast to go (you just have to ask the night before). Wonderful service! I wish I could’ve stayed longer and won’t hesitate to stay again when I’m flying out of Gatwick. The only note I could give is to have a small shoe mat at the door in the rooms in case It’s a bit wet outside and then it wouldn’t be slippery by the door. So minor!

The *BEST* gluten free burger I’ve EVER had … in 60+ countries. This was SOOO good. My husband had the pie (not gluten free) and RAVED about that too. What a gem of a place - just watch your head around the ancient beams overhead … great place !!

The food quality, staff friendliness and overall ambience was a very high standard. Well worth a visit. We used as a stop off enroute to Gatwick Airport.

Went for dinner here at the Old House as I'd heard good things about it. Sadly was disappointed with the size portion of the food compared to the prices that were charged. Food was tasty, but fries slightly under cooked for my liking, nice atmosphere but as a previous review has said they table was sticky, think it might be the varnish that's been applied.

We stayed close by and as this was virtually on the doorstep we ate here. There were some great menu choices as they had just changed their menu. I had a vegetarian option and the salad was tasty and flavoursome.

Visited The Old House at 8 o’clock on a Monday evening having booked a table online. We drove there as the restaurant is in a fairly rural area. When we arrived the car park at the front but there was ample parking to the rear. We were warmly welcomed and invited to have a drink at the bar, or to order drinks and head through to our table. The pub / restaurant is owned by the Butcombe Brewing Co and as we were unfamiliar with the beers on offer were offered tasters. I selected their lager which was very good. The restaurant was bright and cheerful with ample light for aging eyes to read the menu without having to utilise the torch on our phones. Once seated the current menus were brought and we settled for the haddock and chips. The menu is fairly restricted with limited choice of chicken and salads. Service was quick and the fish was cooked as it should be with excellent crisp batter. The tartare sauce was very good. Chips were chunky and crisp on the outside and soft and delicious on the inside. Portion sizes were reasonable and not as large as in other local restaurants Staff were friendly and attentive, checking that our meals were satisfactory and ensuring drinks were replenished when required. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which was very reasonably priced and would consider a return visit in the future. As the menu does change on a seasonal basis we will check what is current before we book. However what is on the menu is excellent and beautifully presented

I don’t generally give food reviews and I’ve been fortunate enough to eat in some of the country’s finest Michelin restaurants but this place. Wow. Every single time I’ve been it’s been epic. Beautiful historic building, extremely attentive staff and food that would put some 2A London restaurants to shame. Constantly changing menu but yesterday I had the venison faggots that we’re in and my god I want to eat that gravy for the rest of my life. Utterly incredible.

Fabulous stay. Excellent room, very large and well equipped, fantastic food, drinks and service. Could not recommend more highly

Stayed overnight prior to a flight from Gatwick. Staff were brilliant, very friendly and helpful. Evening meal was to a high standard and again great service. They even arranged an early breakfast for us.

I mean, where do I start ?! What a beautiful and cosy pub. The staff are great and I was greeted by the one and only Luke who is at the bar. Luke swiftly poured me a pint and I spoke to a friendly staff member who turns out to be the manager Lewes. Great food and such a picturesque spot. A must to visit… what are you waiting for!

Great pub, great food and staff very attentive. Highly recommend a visit to the Old House. Had the steak which was cooked perfectly. Will be coming back

Fantastic as always, Always the at the top of list of places to go & it just keeps on getting better & better The food, service & all round offer is the best in this area by far!

A birthday weekend away couldn't have been better. A beautiful old Inn, watch your head!! Great staff, friendly and professional and made our stay warm and welcoming. Food was delicious, we ate both evenings, you must try the biscoff mini donuts, and breakfast each morning which was also delicious and filling. The rooms were lovely and comfortable and our roll top bath was bliss..thanks Lewis for having us

Family meal to celebrate a birthday. The food was superb, with a mixture of Sunday roasts and fish. The beef was excellent, and puddings were wonderful.

The old house has become our new favourite local!!! The moment you walk in the door the staff are so welcoming and it’s such a nice atmosphere. The drinks selection is good and if you like an espresso martini order one and you won’t be disappointed!!! Went for a valentines meal last night and it was a great night from start to finish! Rhianna, Jess, Lewis, Tony and Luke really took care of us making it a wonderful experience. The food was the best I have had in the area I take my hat off to the chef, the friends I go with have different dietary needs and nothing was to much they all got amazing meals!!! Can’t wait to go back!!!

Sadly, I was here only for 1 night, but the room was very comfortable with lots of little extras to make the stay a little special. The Staff were very helpful and the service in the Restaurant was excellent and the food choices were varied , as I had to leave early a continental breakfast was delivered to my room in the evening before. Certainly I would be happy to go back.

Not a great meal sadly and service pretty poor too. Asked for a main as a starter and was charged full main meal price, may have been a main that was brought out but either way not what I asked for. The plant-based burgers had a pretty awful texture to them, may have been overcooked but also just a metal cup of chips, no side salad garnish - which in this day and age is a pretty basic formula. The battered fish two of our party had looked overcooked or cooked in dirty oil - very dark and dry. The gingerbread crème brûlée was very bland and once through to the crème filling was left very underwhelmed. Service was mixed, two blonde girls - one very welcoming and pleasant, the other gave the impression of our visit being a bit of a bother to her Friday night - another chap who served us was good. After serving our food the waitress just walked away without asking if we wanted any condiments, and by the time we managed to get some attention and the sauce on the table we had already finished half our meals. One hour after getting home had bad diarrhoea and a sore stomach in bed for the night - won’t be going again.

Food was awful really poorly presented, soup was dreadful and the chicken burger was probably the worst main course I have ever had

Dined here this Saturday just gone. Lovely food - even better service. Beautiful surroundings and relaxed atmosphere. Stayed in one of the out houses. Tastefully decorated, very clean, lovely bath tub- if I had to be picky, the green light on all night above our bed made our night a bit restless - i assume it's a fire exit thing which seems unnecessary considering how small and cosy the room is. Also the fan in the bathroom is incredibly noisy... but this is me being picky. Breakfast was fantastic - again service was top notch. What a fantastic team of staff the management have put together. A friendly and homely environment - lots of laughter and good vibes coming from the kitchen staff/waiters, who even let us sit away from the loud family at breakfast as i was feeling a little delicate (hungover) A great selection of books in restaurant and just so beautiful! What a building! Had to leave the staff a tip before leaving. Well done.... we will definitely be back!!! 🥰

I had the pleasure of dining at the Old House Inn on Tuesday, and it was an absolute culinary delight! The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the restaurant set the perfect stage for a memorable meal. The menu offered a wide range of delectable options, and From the appetizers to the dessert, every course was a burst of flavor and creativity. The chef's attention to detail and use of locally sourced ingredients made the dining experience truly exceptional. The attentive and knowledgeable staff added to the overall experience, providing excellent recommendations and ensuring that every aspect of the meal was perfect. While I didn't have the chance to enjoy the inn's fireplace, the Old House Inn's restaurant is a culinary gem that I would highly recommend to any food enthusiast. It's a perfect place to savor exquisite dishes on a pleasant day. I look forward to returning for another culinary adventure!

Amazing place to come and dine, Whether your celebrating or just dining with your friends this is a place for all, Such friendly welcoming staff matched with a really great menu superbly cooked by there kitchen team it's the perfect balance!

Can’t thank this pub enough every time we ring they accommodate us as a family. The food is absolutely outstanding from every detail.. staff are so friendly and great with being such a big family so thank you to everybody at the old house

I love this place, the staff truly care and deliver an exceptional service which you just cannot fault The food is always so delicious!! Definitely do the best Sunday roast

What a cracker of a find! And we’ll worth loosing a few hours to, this place has so much character lovely and cosy and even a super little snug with a fire for a cheeky date night or a get together with friends you can even share a sharing board or a bottle of vino, if your not up for the extensive lunch or dinner menu. Talking of the menu’s, Jeeeez the food and the combination of flavour that have been created in the kitchen are dam good and definitely tickled my taste buds, making me want to come back for more! And I have!!! To the manager. The Team are worth their weight in gold, friendly polite and have time for you, and nothing is to much trouble, they are passionate about the food and the overall experience they are delivering, a credit to you!

The perfect place! Superb food/menu/drinks/service Couldn't fault a thing! Will be returning very soon

A really nice place. Great meal, great pint, lovely room, well appointed and very clean. Luke behind the bar was so welcoming and helpful. In fact, all the staff were great. We'll be back.

Myself and my family went along to the Country Festival on 8th September. The event was absolutely brilliant. The bands the decor, the staff were all excellent. We enjoyed all the classic and modern Country music and it was lovely to see a broad age range including children. That being said my only negative point I have to make is the pricing of their food and drink. The cheapest bottle of white wine available (pinto gregio) was £30 and the food which was American themed was over priced. £9.50 for a hot dog which was a frankfurter style sausage, so cheap. My niece said it was not even nice and left half of it. The beef burger was £10.50 and all it came with was melted cheese no lettice, tomatoes etc and I had the bbq pulled pork brisket bun which was absolutely delishious yet it was a bun and pork nothing else. They also advertised stone baked pizzas and icecream on their ad but they didn't have them which would of been ideal for the kids. These local events are brilliant and we enjoy and want to support local business but they do need to review their pricing as we don't feel it was good value for money.

Restaurant setting is very nice with helpful staff. However, the food was very average, 2 of our party had roast potatoes which were undercooked inside, these were sent back twice and in the end we had chips. Overall, just not great value for money. Pull your socks up, there a far better restaurants in the area

Visited here while on holiday in the area with family. It’s a beautiful place, lovely big gardens and an old world feel to the inside with exposed beams and low ceilings (beware if you’re tall, though there is some padding on them!). We all had...

Very average pub food at best, and overpriced. Lovely venue though. Friendly staff. Good drinks selection

Didn’t get to visit this restaurant as it has no online booking service. Phoned up and left voicemail, they never got back to me?

Been a few times - ups and downs depending on how busy the place is. Had to send beer back as it was off, the other beer wasn’t great either. Meal for 2, only main course 1 drink each and 1 pudding = £55 quid...

We enjoyed an impromptu Friday lunchtime meal here without needing to book. The pork rillettes starter was divine and I would return for that alone. Main courses were also excellent with good quantities of fish and meat in the dishes, all cooked perfectly including my...

We met friends for dinner at the old house inn and were not disappointed. The service was really friendly and we did not feel rushed at all, we ended up spending about 4 hours there in total! The food was very high quality in my...

Staff were poorly trained and inattentive. Also, knowing there were three vegans coming, part of a party of five, I thought they would have made more effort. They kindly put on a vegan roast, which was nice but underwhelming. You wouldn't get away with that...

We had a lovely family celebration meal with the food and service both being very good. Unfortunately I do think that the dishes are a little over priced.

This is truly a lovely pub, with lots of character and you are made to feel very welcome. The food is very nice, but in my honest opinion this is a little overpriced in respect of both the food and wine. Would like to see...

Booked a meal for a 60th birthday celebration . Had a very cosy snug area for 11 of us. Could not fault the food or service. All had various starters and mains no complaints and no empty plates. Staff were attentive and polite. Booked 2...

Lovely pub with friendly services and good selection of beers and wines. Fish and chips are the best around.

Just checked out from the Old House and felt the need to leave a review immediately. We enjoyed a one night stay and a delicious meal in their restaurant. The menu was small with a nice balance of classic pub and fine dining dishes. The...

For a Saturday it wasn't busy & service was slow. Food was expensive & when arrived was very average.

really enjoyed our meal and wine, real warmth from the staff and chef checked everything was okay. Would definitely recommend

Enjoyed a very good meal and comfortable nights sleep at this hotel before an early flight out of Gatwick airport . Would recommend to anyone looking for accommodation before flight or for anyone exploring the area. Key things you want before an early flight are...

Good meal served by nice people. 6 of us ate after a walk ( not a good walk, Surrey need to sort out some awful stiles, but that’s another story…). Made to feel welcome, good food served piping hot. 3 had pie of the day,...

Went to one of Cirrus Inns for a meal, which albeit more expensive than many others for " pub" food, it was tasty. Their wine is ridiculously priced. A 250ml glass £12 30, desserts £8.50 We were given a voucher with 25% off for our...

We had the chateaubriand for a Sunday dinner and it was the best bit of beef we’ve had. We’ll worth the bit extra expense if you can. Service is exceptional as-well.

We stayed here overnight before driving down to Brighton with our two adult daughters. We had great rooms, very comfortable beds, great showers and everything you could need in the bathroom. Also good tea making facilities.

We came to the Old House for a quite bite to eat and a drink. Thank you to Luke and Louis. Very impressed how they dealt with our criticisms of the mac and cheese from the kids menu! We also visited the other day when...

We arranged our Christmas Eve special dinner here for our family (and dog). The staff are so friendly and welcoming. The food was excellent and nicely presented - the strawberry daquiri was spot-on! Will definitely return when back in the area,

Lewis and all the staff were friendly and helpful. Food and drink high standard. They let us have the table for as long as we needed.

Christmas dinner was amazing!!!! Chefs did an amazing job with the food from starter to desert ! Everything was amazing, service from Lewes, Jess, Sam, Miranda and Luke the barman was exceptional as always. If your looking for an everyday lunch or a special occasion...

Staying here for the week with work , rooms are nice food is amazing but the whole experience has been made great by Lewis , what a great guy and total asset to this place

As a group of nearly 20 business people we had arranged our Christmas lunch. We were really well looked after, and the food was superb. Overall our experience was excellent, a touch above your more 'everyday' restaurants, but without making you feel out of place....

Had a lovely meal here. Tasty homecooked food. Can recommend the pulled pork pie. Efficient , friendly and professional service from Jess. Good wine and nice staff and atmosphere

Sadly after visiting the old house numerous times, this visit has put me off a revisit with so many other local good eateries. Very limited menu on the day and some of the items from the menu listed with the roast were short until I’d...

We couldn’t fault the staff, however, the food wasn’t so good. It wasn’t particularly busy when we arrived, and we were seated quickly. The food came after a short wait; and it was very disappointing. The burger was burnt and the lamb very fatty. Desert...

Lovely pub/restaurant. Was disappointed this time round as not all of our meals were prepared using fresh ingredients! Frozen chunky chips - only 7 chips - at £5 was a rip off.

Great greeting, but downhill after that. It all took so long and we could have picked holes in 5 of the 7 dishes served. The disappointment was compounded when we were followed outside and told that we hadn't paid (Which of course we had) Too...

Had a business lunch here. Nice beer garden, good food, very relaxed. However two disappointing features : service was slow got impression they were short staffed and got our order wrong. I never received my starter that was pre-ordered.

We ate here back in the winter and really enjoyed our meal. This time we were very disappointed with our meal. The menu was more suited to the winter time than the summer. The slaw served with the burger was dry and limp red cabbage...

Lovely meal. Burger one of the best I;ve had. Great service and atmosphere. Would return and recommend to others

A really nice welcome when we arrived and shown to our table. Menu is not too large which is fine by us. My wife had the plaice and mussels and clams, 90% of the clams were empty and the mussels were very small certainly not...

We were recommended this pub when we were flying out of Gatwick airport. We were given a warm welcome and seated at a cosy table. The service was very good and all the staff were friendly and polite. Our meal was excellent and a great...

Menu is gastro pub grub but to a good standard. Market fish of the day was exceptional. Child friendly with good pub garden

Booked for a romantic sunday lunch date. Food was tasy and serverd hot with a hot plate (always a good sign). Service was friendly and efficient. Lovely location, charming pub with a classic english country feel.

Very quaint, atmospheric building. The menu is not overly extensive but has a great selection and food always delicious. Staff are always friendly.

The price of the food represents a much better restaurant experience. The food should be better quality, flavour and presentation . Very disappointing as it has a lovely setting

Starters were nice, main was disappointing, chicken was luke warm and had a lettuce leaf that was just tasteless with runny sauce. Side of chips were well undercooked. Service was excellent but chicken main and chips unfortunately let the place down. Chefs need to ensure...

Came here with friends on Sunday. Excellent service. I had Squid. Great flavour and melt in the mouth texture, could have been slightly larger portion. My main was Lamb shank which was devine. My husband had roast beef which agin was excellent only complaint was...

Such a fabulous restaurant. Divine food, friendly service and cosy atmosphere. Can not recommend high enough and will definitely be returning.

What a great little find. Booked a last minute roast here with my husband and will most certainly return. The place was so quaint and cute, we adored it. Outside area looks like it will be abs one in summer. Food was delicious. Not the...

We used to be regulars at The Old House many years ago when it was the best restaurant in the area. We have tried every reincarnation since then, some good and some not so good. It is now very good and our visit was faultless....

We were recommended The old house as somewhere to eat after seeing a matinee show at The Hawth in Crawley. We were a group of 5 and arrived at 5.30 to a warm welcome. We ate the Rotisserie Chicken, Belly of Pork, Beef and ale...

Excellent service, good food. It was the perfect place to meet with friends. We were not rushed and left feeling really relaxed, having enjoyed ourselves in a venue that clearly prides itself on good hospitality. The place was busy but this did not hamper service...

Fantastic food, service and ambience. Will definitely return - my friends were all impressed too! The setting was lovely and our waitress couldn't do enough. Just the right time between courses and nothing was too much bother.

Really good service and bar staff very friendly. Slightly disappointing as the food turn cold quickly due to the plates being cold

I had the pleasure of eating here recently and the whole experience was amazing. The food was lovely, the atmosphere was so comfortable and the staff are always polite and helpful. It is such a joy to eat here. Thank you.

We cannot fault this place. The food was was well presented and excellent taste. All the staff especially Andrew provided exemplary service throughout the meal. We would recommend 100%

Good menu, and very good food. The service very good, and helpful in arranging for our family group to enjoy our celebration.

Good food and good selection of food and drinks, very spacious garden, lovely atmosphere, terrible service.

Food is good but very expensive for what you get. Surrounding are lovely, except the amount of beach pebbles and gravel around everywhere makes walking on it difficult especially for wheelchairs
