The Parrot in Mole Valley

Thank you for excellent food, service and a warm welcome

We really enjoyed Easter Sunday lunch outside under the covering and a heater. Our table of 7 included a 4 year old boy, and two people who required gluten free. We only had mains but the food was very good, all served lovely and hot and extra gravy on request was also available. Thank you for the lovely service and fab atmosphere. It was nice sitting outside as it was a little less busy and we could all hear each other in conversation! Look forward to returning again soon! 🙌🏼

We visited today for the first time, and what a beautiful experience! Food was absolutely delicious 😋 and the presentation just adds that little bot extra. The venue is cool and quirky in style, with an outdoor sitting which has cover and heaters, as well as part with benches with no cover to enjoy the sunshine 😉 (once back on UK sky). Price was reasonable, we had a starter main dish and side dish with a glass of wine, which came up to approx £40. Service was great, very friendly and attentive, no waiting. The restaurant can get busy so best to book in advance, however it's plenty of room so should not think it would be an issue if you just walk in. Highly recommend 👌 thank you

Very inviting convivial atmosphere. Very spacious. ( I had visited around 15 years ago and the place has been extended very sympathetically) We all chose different roast menus and found the service excellent. Considering the number of people dining the wait for the food was very prompt. The only disappointment was the roast potatoes and yorkshire pudding. Very difficult to bite into and mainly crust that was of the teeth breaking quality. Desserts were perfect so don't miss out. Staff were attentive and very polite .

We have now had 4 meals at The Parrot and without exception every single one has been off the scale excellent. For the prices that you pay, you would be inclined to think that this was a mediocre restaurant, but without fail these guys knock it out of the park and you are left with a wonderful experience, fabulous food, brilliant service and sort of not wanting to go anywhere else for a meal! Treat yourselves, you will NOT be disappointed. They were lovely to our black labrador too :)

Blimey this place has grown. It’s cavernous at the back but beautiful dining room. I thought I was back on the Cunard Queen Victoria! We were a party of seven shown to a beautiful round table ideal for a family catch up. I thought the menu was superbly varied. Drinks served at lightning speed and food order taken soon after. Possibly 10 mins slightly longer than perfection but to no avail as a slow lunch. Terrific food quality. My mackerel fillet with trimming of flavours including ginger which I had not eaten for years. Everyone enjoyed the food quality. Tried a superb mussel.

Incredible place, with the best food, homegrown and locally sourced. Staff are amazing, never had to wait for service, you are noticed quickly when you want someone and they are proactive with thier help. Plenty of parking and a location to die for. You couldn't ask for much else

We went on a Sunday evening, only a few tables were occupied. Food was excellent but the service was very slow and we had to ask a few times for someone to take our order and then to pay at the end. Waitresses were standing around chatting. Not their usual standard.

Second visit in a week, and that says a lot—the food is tasty and the ambiance warm and welcoming. This time we chose to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine, which was lovely. Unfortunately, what brought the experience down this time was a mix-up with my meal. I ordered the goat's cheese, balsamic onion, and leek quiche from the small bites menu. By the time the food arrived, I was quite hungry and started eating right away. After a few bites, I realised I’d been served a ham and mushroom quiche instead. No staff came by to check on our food, so I just ate it. When someone finally came to clear the plates, I mentioned I’d been given the wrong dish. The staff member simply said, “Oh, you’ve been given the wrong menu,” which didn’t make much sense—my menu clearly said Saturday 12 April, the correct day. No apology was offered. I left feeling disappointed and a bit annoyed, as I didn’t get the meal I actually ordered or enjoy. So while the food is good, beware of unannounced substitutions and a lack of attentiveness from staff.

5 of us came for a Saturday lunch. The menu is very well designed (including starters and nibbles, and smaller portion deserts as options), a good range of choices, and all very tasty. A great venue too - what a fantastic pub! We'll certainly be back.

Stunning countryside pub, both imside and outside. I didn't rate the food cause I didn't try it but I'm sure it will be lovely as everything else was. Well worth a visit or more.

First visit here, was recommended from family. Didn't disappoint. Very prompt service without feeling rushed. Very friendly welcome and service with a smile. Delicious menu for what we had. Would now recommend and visit again when in the area! Thank you

Food was very good, bar service was great, table service was terrible. Atmosphere no existent.

I manage a local singer/songwriter who has performed here! Will was made very welcome, there's a family atmosphere here, and they support up and coming artists! What's not to like??

I ordered the duck leg . The worse meal I have ever had. The vegetables were just boiled tasteless,the potato was off,watery and yellow gone off,horrible.the duck leg was very dry and was served with a beef gravy,watery salty and tasless. The service was poor,the staff seemed unhappy . When the bill came,my husband asked about the service charge, the waiter said it was for the staff.We said my meal was bad and the waiter just said that's okay,it's fine.paying by card ..?,... As he had blantley ignored my desatisfaction with meal,I went on to say Sarcasticallyplease give my "Non"-compliments to the chef. This waiter just looked at me intimidatingly and said yes I'll pass it on.😡. Horrible, We will never go back there again.

We were a party of four for a weekday lunch and had a three-course meal. We had the soup and pâté starters, both excellent. This was followed by the lamb pie, salmon, burger and chicken mains: again, all excellent. No complaints from anyone and we’re quite a tough crowd. This wasn’t our first visit and won’t be the last. If you want lots of people sitting within arms reach of you this may not be for you, but if you prefer a more relaxed, spacious and peaceful atmosphere then it fits the bill during the week. The service was polite and efficient. We’ve returned at least twice since. No change. Still highly recommended. Incidentally, the menu changes monthly I believe so there’s always an excuse to return!

Really busy and bustling, but due to the eating area we were in, it still felt intimate and a bit private. I imagine the right hand side of the bar would've felt more open and louder, so we were pleased with where we sat.Food was lovely, always a risk when ordering pork belly that it's 80%fat and only 20% meat, but it was definitely 97% meat and was totally wonderful! My pescetarian/lacto-intolerant Teen was really happy with her nut roast and sorbet, maybe more dairy free main course choices could be offered as she'd have loved the fish pie if it had been available as dairy free.We were all really pleased with our chosen venue of The Parrot, having never visited before, will definitely be back! Even our dog was content!

Great lunch with the kids/grandkids. Always a treat and great food

Had a lovely family lunch here last Sunday. Food was exceptional! Service also.

If you want really nice good quality food, lovely staff, and warm cozy quiet atmosphere, go here.

Quite possibly the best best pub in Surrey. Great food and in my experience, outstanding customer service. Not to mention the stunning location and views which are one of the best you'll find at any pub. We often come here with the dog as there are plenty of beautiful walks all around.

Always great. Always the roast.

Not cheap, but quality and flavour is outstanding.

Been twice now, brilliant place absolutely recommend.

Staff not discreet about my food allergies. Didn’t like our choice not to use QR code. Food served tepid and not all meals together

Absolutely lovely all around. The food was super tasty and beautifully presented, the service was prompt and polite, and the atmosphere was cosy yet sophisticated. Can't fault it!

Great looking country pub with plenty of seating inside, and easy parking. A nice selection of ales, quick service and friendly. Definitely worth a visit We didn't have food

Very nice pub with excellent food

Me and my son went for an impromptu lunch at The Parrot on a Friday afternoon. We hadn’t booked but there was an available table for us and our two dogs. We shared crispy squid and chorizo to start and both dishes were prettily presented and super tasty. My son had an enormous fish and chips which he devoured and I enjoyed a gorgeous salmon and smoked haddock fishcake (again, beautifully presented on a pretty plate). We were extremely impressed with the quality of the food and the friendly service. There was a buzzy atmosphere and we had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. This was my second visit to The Parrot in the last couple of weeks and both occasions were a real success. We live nearby and are really lucky to have such a wonderful pub on our doorstep. Thank you to everyone at The Parrot.

Its the first time that i have eaten in The Parrot after years of brief visits during motorcycle rides or network events. I an excellent venue, a great menu and food. The vibe is perfect and very homely for a large pub. The staff could not do enough, just excellent. Book though - it is very busy on Sundays but it as well oiled machine, so wait times are fine.

Lovely and warm, the Lear jet of country pubs. Very welcoming and intimate atmosphere. Comfortable and easy to spend too much time in! Superb steak pie, mash and very fresh veg - one of the best plates of wholesome and hearty fine pub grub I have had in a long time. Dog friendly

I loved everything here. Good value too. Warm and friendly service , beautiful interior, inspired menu and food that didn’t disappoint. Best gastropub experience I’ve had for a long time.

What a spot for a traditional English pub - just off the village green and village cricket pitch! The atmosphere insdie this large and windy pub is excellent - log burning stoves and planety of dogs enjoying a pint with their owners. We had a large lunch, befitting of a family get together. The starters included pan roasted scallops and baked broccoli with Kimchi, and the Venison loin main, with black pudding crumb, was a delight. It wasn't cheap, £236 for 5 of us, including three courses each, a bottle of wine and a few beers, and service included. But it was a treat for us all to be together again in a traditional Southern English pub.

Fantastic meal today!!! We popped in with friends spur of the moment after being out the kids and the staff found us a table in the bar area even though they were busy and fully booked. The food was amazing and quick and the staff were extremely friendly. We all had a main and desert, a few drinks and it worked out at £50 per adult which we thought was reasonable. We will definitely be back soon.

I've always loved this place, but it has been transformed into an amazing place, and the food is just fantastic a dish for any palette with amazing attention to dietary needs.

Met some friends, played a few hands of cribbage, brought the dogs with us, had something to eat. What more do you need?

Excellent pub for lunch while driving around the Surrey Hills. Great selection of (well kept) real ales, special mention for the Pilcrow Pale from Dorking Brewery.

Dog friendly with heaps of space, delicious food but could really do with being more imaginative and expanding it's veggie/vegan options. Indoor fire was a lovely touch.

Went for a pre-christmas meal with my wife. Lovely table, great food, friendly staff and cheerful atmosphere. Would definitely recommend.

Really good find - lovely country pub/restaurant menu had some interesting choices, food was excellent and service really good.

Lovely warm and welcoming pub in pretty Forest Green. We went there to sing Christmas Carols and were welcomed by both the staff and the customers. Very generous cheese and cracker boards were provided for everyone as well as a delicious mulled wine and mince pie for the singers! A really lovely feeling of Christmas spirit. Thank you Parrot Inn and a very happy Christmas to you! 🎄🎅🎉💕

Had a fabulous meal with the family. Atmosphere was wonderful and all the staff were so patient, friendly and professional. We’re locals and it’s so nice to bring the rest of our family in here. It’s become a favourite around Christmas-time. Big shout out of gratitude to our amazing server Izzy. X

This is a gorgeous place, a large bar full of cosy corners, in a stunning setting, and with a large and very civilised dining room. There is a fire in the centre which we were seated beside. The pheasant, partridge and wild boar suet pudding starter was quite exceptional, beautiful flavours. I have venison hotpot for the main, again excellent. The Shiraz was excellent. And a special word on the service - all the young staff who looked after us were outstanding, so helpful, knowledgable and enthusiastic. Will be back soon. Thank you so much.

If you are looking for a great pub lunch, then this is a perfect choice. The menu has a wide selection of modern and classic British pub food but on a high level. I had a game suet pudding which was wonderful, and my friend had the fish and chips (which in pubs can be hit and miss) which was great. The location is nice and quite and perfect for walks.

Friendly and respectful service, very good food and nice size plates, the recommendations were amazing. I forgot to take the picture of the amazing started, but I got the picture of the Christmas dinner and the Alasca slice.

Thank you to the team at the Parrot for looking after our large 20 person (7 children) group with such attentiveness and patience for the million trip hazards around our table. The pub was so beautifully decorated and felt really festive. The food was absolutely exquisite and you couldn't have been more helpful and accomodating. We will definitely be back!

Very nice pub with lovely staff and food was great

4.5/5! We have visited many times both as a couple and with friends. We had the Christmas menu this time and the food, particularly the halibut, was superb. The menu I thought was good value. The pub was warm and cosy. We were right by the central fire! My only slight niggle is that the staff although efficient are somewhat impersonal . Maybe because it was fairly busy.. That said , we think the place is great and look forward to returning. I am already planning a visit in February with friends celebrating birthdays - although hope to visit again before that. Thanks for a lovely meal.

Arrived for a late lunch . Given a very friendly welcome by the staff. Very charming country pub/restaurant. Plenty of choice from a well balanced menu. As the designated driver I always look for a good non-alcholic drink. I found a good one called Estrella Free Damm. £5.40 for a pint. We had fish and chips and steak and ale pie. The fish was in an excellenty crisp batter and the pie was in a meltingly luscious shortcrust pastry. Both meals were tongue blisteringly hot and totally delicious. By luck we timed our visit at sunset which capped off a very pleasant meal.

Outstanding pub. Great service, well trained staff and a kitchen team that are the best that I have encountered. Make a detour to visit this place you will not be disappointed.

Evening meal in this very nice pub. Staff were very welcoming and the food was excellent. The only negative was the bar service, a member of our party asked for a vodka and coke which arrived in what looked like a pint glass, after sending it back it returned in a half pint glass, finally a member of our party took it to the bar and had to explain to the apparently inexperienced bar staff exactly how it should be served. Similarly we received alcoholic beer as opposed to the non alcoholic that was ordered. Overall although the staff were very lovely they all seemed very inexperienced and there did not appear to be anyone directing things.

Great country pub with a few pre/post walks nearby. If you're coming for a Sunday roast, come hungry as they make sure you're well fed! Menu really caters for the vegetarian/vegans and gluten free as well, lots of thought has gone into the menu and providing alternatives

We had lunch with friends after a local walk on Saturday 2nd November. The food and service were both excellent, a lovely, cosy welcoming country pub. We have been here before and would return again! (We all had the pies - the steak and the cheese and potato, accompanying vegetables were perfectly cooked!)

Beautiful pub with poor food. I ordered the salmon and prawn laska curry, clearly I suspect a boil in the bag small portion dish that was tasteless and at £21 poor value.

The good was so so tasty, we really enjoyed our visit. The only critique I would give is that the fish cake portion was very small for a main. It seemed more of a starter and I was hungry after. They could buff this out more! I’d go back for sure though.

Excellent. First visit and will return

Just an all round nice place to go. The food is brill service is great and even good for just a pint

Fabulous food. Extremely well organised and professional during these difficult times.

Great country pub, excellent food and wine, and it's also very roomy! Excellent Sunday roast menu, and good service, yoo

Lovely pub with a great countryside atmosphere. It’s nice and cozy inside, with a charming low ceiling. The outside area is perfect for nice and sunny days. Good selection of beer and the steak sandwich is delicious. Highly recommended!

Great pub for dining. Excellent heated outdoor area.

Lovely country pub which has been hugely extended and renovated since I was last there, perfect spot to sit outside and while away the afternoon!

Great food overall, although I did find my fillet steak less tender than I expected.

We've been to The Parrot a few times now, food is usually ok, nothing spectacular, Sunday roast dinner is very good with the exception of the roast potatoes, they've been like little rocks, can't cut them, can't eat them, terrible! Not enough of that beautiful creamy mash. I find the menu a bit dull during the week and pricey but I like the little tokens you collect for money off, good idea. The staff are ok, could be a little more chatty, they didn't come to our table to check if everything was ok during our meal and they were quiet the night we went in. I find that when you arrive from the car park side, the 'wait to be seated' area should be closer to that door as there is no sign pointing you in the right direction for the restaurant, you just arrive at the bar. Overall it's a really lovely place for a meal but could do with some improvement in relation to menu & food.

Everything was great Good pub in the local area

Service was worth a special mention. Attentive, friendly but professional. Food came out in a timely manner, all at the same time and with correct personalised alterations that we had requested. Good job #TeamParrot

Traditional pub, great views and outdoor seating. Warm and inviting inside, cosy and with a good range of drinks on offer. The food is a daily menu and felt more gastro pub in quality but also very reasonably priced.

This a fabulous pub/resturant but like everything these days it's not cheap. However, great food, excellent beers and attentive staff gets my vote.

Exceptional dinner in a local pub - highly recommend! We had the tagliatelle with wild mushrooms & chicken breast. It was one of for best pub dinners I have had in recent months. Perfectly seasoned, delicious ingredients and creative execution of a simple bowl of pasta. Brilliant !

The pub is wonderful and full of atmosphere. Beautifully surrounded by gorgeous countryside, The food was delicious. The staff were very friendly, though I believe they were understaffed, as for a busy Sunday evening it took a while to catch their attention.

Enjoyed a family dinner at The Parrot and LOVED it! The food was fantastic with a super allergy-friendly menu. The back side of the menu has a QR code that takes you to a menu that can be filtered by allergen so that you can be assured your meal will be safe for your dietary restrictions. The fish and chips was outstanding. The piece of fish was thick and fresh with a shatteringly crispy fry on the exterior. The mushy peas were refreshing and a pleasant novelty from the perspective of a tourist! There were multiple cask ales on tap, so our party collectively tried them all. The Shere Drop was my personal favorite! And definitely save room for dessert! There are multiple sorbet options and even a vegan cheesecake.

100% recommend for a family lunch, dinner or any other excuse to eat delicious food in a great environment.

We had a lovely evening at The Parrot last week. The food was amazing, I had the pie and it was perfection! The staff were all lovely and the service was astounding! We just wished we lived closer!

Best pub I have ever visited. A must!

OK, nothing special but at least we got a beer

Cracking food. What lovely pub. The service was spot on and the menu had loads of great choices (especially for me as a veggie). Highly recommend.

The Parrot is a lovely place to pop for a drink or to dine with friends and family. Staff are friendly and the locals make one feel welcome too - cross banter and conversations - a pub I always enjoy going to. Food is great - the fish batter is fresh and light. In a long time, I can say I enjoyed mushy peas. There is mutual respect amongst all. Thank you.

The Chicken burger was amazing, I devoured my plate in minutes!! Great whiskey collection 😁 lovely friendly atmosphere 👌

Been to the Parrot before and always had a good experience. Popped in today for a spot of late lunch, didn’t appear to be too busy. Found a table outside and went in to order food. Greeted by lady at entrance to restaurant who explained they were just ‘too overwhelmed’ to be taking food orders?! Really?? Took our custom elsewhere where we were gratefully welcomed. Were your staff advised to tell customers this? Seems rather strange in this day and age when pubs are fighting for custom. Won’t be visiting the Parrot again.

Foods gone downhill, for the high prices I would expect better.

The food quality and menu doesn’t match the price, table service is generally good, the bar is popular though can be slow service or short staffed sometimes. There are better food options in the area

If you're a coeliac (or gluten intolerant) like me, you will think you've died and gone to heaven. Seriously. All coeliacs will know that feeling of only being able to eat two or three things off the menu, at The Parrot you can eat SO MUCH that you won't know where to start. Everything from pies to fishcakes, battered fish to crispy beef are gluten-free. The waitress said, if they could make something that tasted great and was suitable for all (e.g. the pastry for the pies) why not make it gluten free!? Genius. And much appreciated. There was also FreeDamm on draft (gluten- and alcohol-free beer that goes down a treat) - an added bonus. Beautiful, well-maintained and recently-extended/modernised venue in a picturesque location with service and food to make you smile. My new favourite. I will be back!

Great food, very good service and a very helpful waitress

The fish was disappointing and the accompaniment overcooked. Amounts were minimal.

Friendly staff, lovely food, and the terrace is a lovely place to eat. Thank you.

Popped in for a Roast today. I am not a massive reviewer, but was only right for this lunch. We ordered 2 mixed roasts (Pork,Beef) which came out in great time, even with a full restaurant. Not only this, every aspect of the Roast was Exeptional and full of flavour. This in addition to the stellar attention of the waiting staff resulted in a great afternoon. The overall atmosphere makes this place a must visit. I would highly recommend.

We always have a lovely time at the parrot and have been coming for many years. We are so lucky to have it as our local pub and to have so many fond memories there.

Popped in for lunch during our house hunting expedition and it is a little gem. The light lunch we had was just the right size and I even had a cheeky elderflower cocktail 🤣

Wonderful Surrey Hills spot overlooking the Green. We had the linguine with prawns, clams and chorizo, halloumi chips and trout and watercress, absolutely delish as was the refreshing Pimms with all the garnishes. Perfect weather, wonderful setting, food and drink.

I had the Burger and chunky chips which was very nice my wife had 2 starters together a spicy prawn dish and a spicy beef one both delicious she said. Last summer I had for pudding a Pina Colada Sunday which was one of the best puds I’ve ever had so I ordered it again as it’s not on the winter menu when we’ve been again, I was so looking forward to it but was quite disappointed as the ingredients had changed. Far too much custard and barely if any coconut ice cream. I do hope the old recipe will be reinstated. It won’t stop us going again as the staff are lovley.

Wonderful gastro pub in a gorgeous quintessentially English village. Great food - the steak sandwich is a particular family favourite. Great service, beautiful setting. Lots of outdoor space - last year the back garden was a little bit impacted by wasps which was a bit annoying when eating but that is the only very minor criticism on an otherwise vibrant and appealing watering hole.

I have been coming to this pub over the past 20 years, today three of us had fish & chips, a pint and coffee each, the bill just short of 100 quid. This time I looked at the bill and noted the 12.5% service charge automatically added. I checked and could not find this mentioned anywhere on the menu. I am no fan of this practice! My thoughts are pay your staff a living wage, you charge enough! The cost of the drinks and food should be the headline price and no more (NOT Americanisms creeping in). I tip as a true gratuity when I want, and how much I want, depending on various criteria. The food was good but not exceptional for the price, the beer was too warm and not kept very well in my opinion. The service was also good by three separate servers. I would have been more than happy to add a good tip, but this service charge practice is insidious and negative to get it adjusted. A bad taste left after a good afternoon hence I will not be rushing back.

Stopped by to watch the football match. Friday evening, very quiet.

The Parrot in Forest Green is a hidden gem nestled in the depths of the Surrey Hills. This charming pub offers a delightful atmosphere that perfectly complements its beautiful surroundings. The food is simply outstanding, with a diverse menu that caters to all tastes and preferences. The dishes are well-prepared, flavorful, and presented with finesse. The cozy and inviting ambiance, coupled with friendly and attentive service, makes it an ideal spot for a relaxing meal or a casual drink. Whether you're a local or a visitor, The Parrot is a must-visit destination that promises a memorable experience.

Really beautiful pub with great indoor and outdoor seating - perfect for a lunch after a nice walk up Leith Hill

A lovely lunch in a wonderful place. Very pleasant staff and excellent menu. Thankyou

Superb. You get what you pay for. Excellent service, good food, great beers and friendly helpful staff.

Excellent Sunday Lunch for five of us. Can't say anything else, it was very good

Great staff amazing food great place and location

We had dinner at The Parrot on our recent trip to the UK. It had great atmosphere, our food was awesome and our waitress Darcey was just lovely!
