The Spring Tavern in Epsom and Ewell

Restaurant was very busy and although we had booked we had to ask if someone could seat us after standing waiting for over 10 minutes. Shared the camembert which was delicious & then had the lamb. I had 3 chunks of lamb rump so not overly generous especially when over half of it was fat & gristle so inedible. I left the pieces on my plate and did point this out to the Manager who just said that she couldn't do anything as I should have let her know earlier. An apology & an offer of a free drink, coffee or dessert would have gone a long way towards rectifying this. And would have ensured our future custom. My dog was not unhappy though and was the grateful recipient of the pieces of fat 🐕

2nd time my sister and I have had lunch here in the last couple of months and it was just as good this time round as last. Although we had the added benefit of Holly, the lovely, chatty, bubbly, helpful server today. Food was great. We both had the tempura prawn sandich and coffee afterwards was a very decent one. We'll be back again next month.

We stopped off for lunch and had a great experience, with good food, great service from the man serving us, and will definitely return.

Outstanding roast & exceptional service. We came for dinner on Easter Sunday and from start to finish the experience was fabulous. It exceeded our expectations of a pub restaurant. Very happy that this is our local! Ambience in the restaurant was very enjoyable. Classy decor, nicely spaced tables and clean throughout. From the initial welcome at the door through to paying our bill at the end of our dinner we were served by staff who were polite, helpful and welcoming. They struck the perfect balance of attentive but not intrusive. They also were knowledgeable about the menu and made I feel like more of a restaurant than a pub with dining. They are a credit to the place and are such an asset. We were also appreciative of the recommendation to order the duo of beef roast when we asked for a suggestion as the lamb had (unsurprisingly, as it must be good) run out. So, onto the food… Well, needless to say it was delicious, extremely generous in size and plated very nicely. The veg that accompanied the meat was divine and the bread sauce was the best I’ve had. The beef was top quality and was served exactly as we liked - perfect medium rare. We saw many other plates coming out to other tables of other things like burgers, fish and other roasts. Everything looked equally appetising. We shared a very good bottle of Trebbiano which was reasonably priced and very refreshing. Too full for coffee or desert and when we asked to take the leftover roast home that I was too full to finish, they happily obliged to bring me a takeaway box. I can’t wait to finish it for dinner tomorrow! Overall a definite hit and we will be coming again with friends and family.

Excellent service, generous portions , plenty of veg and all well cooked and presented. Lovely welcoming atmosphere and great service.

I really wanted to give this more stars as I have had good meals here in the past. The pub has a really nice ambience and we like to come here for a weekday lunch as we can hear each other talk. Today I visited with 5 friends and we all agreed that the food fell short on this occasion. My toasted sandwich was burnt black and was put in front of me with no apology. The accompanying fries were lukewarm. My friend’s battered fish was pale and flabby with no crispy batter and was clearly undercooked. The crispy duck and noodle salad had chewy slices of duck, no crispy bits, very few noodles and not enough dressing. We all felt that our food was disappointing Two others had the lamb rump which they said was good but overcooked. The service was excellent with lovely cheery girls in charge, but sadly our experience was let down by bad cooking.

A good menu with plenty of choice, food was well presented and served promptly, in particular the service was was excellent. 👍

My partner and I had lunch here on Sunday and it was really sensational food and the customer service was brilliant!

Amie and Harry where absolutely great. Amazing service and delicious cocktails, the seabass was so yummy! Will definitely come and visit again soon! Thank you

Had a lovely meal this evening with friends who we moving abroad. Oscar and Connor very attentive, nothing too much trouble, food amazing and mini Desert and cocktail Topped it off perfectly…..

We had another great family meal at the Spring, Megan, Jason, Harlie and Lucy did a fab job of looking after us all , food was great as always !

Fabulous atmosphere from the minute we walked, in our waiter Jason made us feel so welcome and was so attentive. Highly recommend 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟

We came on the Thursday of valentines. Food was amazing and service incredible. But the reason for the review was the attentiveness of the manager Jason. We were at our table checking our bill and doing some math and without prompt he came over and realised that the trigger button hadn’t been pushed. It saved us an additional £23 which was massive. I am so grateful that the guest experience is at the forefront of his mind. And the teams. Super super evening.

The best afternoon/evening for a lazy Sunday. Jason and the team were fabulous. Fantastic food and friendly welcoming staff

Came to lunch here with a few friends, had amazing service throughout our stay and the food was superb. Highly recommend the cocktails, especially when Amie is on the bar

We were here for an 80th birthday party (12 people) and the service and food were lovely! We were primarily served by Jason (also Harvie and Oscar). Thank you!

Had a lovely meal in very nice surroundings with a friend at The Spring. Staff are attentive and nothing too much trouble. Nice relaxed atmosphere and never rushed which I have to say is refreshing. Meg & Amie looked after us very well. Recommend a visit!

Excellent service from Meg and Harvie, the food was delicious and lovely drinks from the bar too. Thank you!

We had a wonderful meal at the Spring Tavern for Sunday roast. The staff were attentive and kind. Nothing was too much trouble for Harvie, Issy, Amie and Bradley. They even brought out extra vegetables for my 8 month old to nibble on during the meal and provided hot water for her milk bottle. The atmosphere was relaxed - exactly what I wanted for my birthday lunch. In my opinion, the roast (in particular the beef and pork) is the best you can get in the local area. All the food was absolutely delicious and there is a fab selection of drinks, non-alcoholic too. We couldn't have had a better experience at the Spring, so thank you to all the staff. We will be back again soon.

The staff were all very friendly, the food was fantastic and the overall service was faultless… 👍👍

After not eating here for over 18 months - in the same week I visited twice. Once midweek with a group and had a great afternoon/evening and we all loved our food, So I decided to return today and had a great Sunday Roast lunch, along with great, friendly service, it’s been over a year since I have been to our local pub/restaurant as previously it was really disappointing on a number of occasions but I will definitely be returning.

Wonderful food,the sauce on my lamb rump was delicious.Shout out to the chief Marian and the great serving staff ,Bradley and Amie.Great food

Served today by the excellent Amie and Bradley - very friendly and helpful couple plus great food and wines, Most enjoyable girls lunch, thank you

What a great pub! Very welcoming staff and great food. We had 3 courses of exceptional food plus two good bottles of wine and the bill was very reasonable indeed! Dog welcomed too. Georgia was lovely, very friendly and efficient too. Very happy that this is our local pub! Will be back!

I moved away from Ewell many years ago. Upon returning my son suggesting trying The Spring for late Sunday lunch. You can either book the restaurant or be served on the pub side, which we did. Cheese bites as a starter. What gorgeous food the roast was. Meat so tender and gravy to die for. The veggie side dishes are not in my photos but they were very generous too. I could not stop to talk. If ever I moved back to Ewell I would be here every Sunday. Wonderful.

Wowww What a Sunday lunch, my partner and I decided to try out the Spring Tavern, we normally go to its sister pub the Blue Anchor !!! Our visit today was inpeccable, from the moment we were greeted entering to the second we left. The customer service was suberv and as for the food, my wife and I both agree it was actually the best Sunday roast we have ever had, the meats were cooked to perfection, the potatoes were fluffy and so tasty and the accompanying vegetables were just right!!! Excellent all round guys, well done!!!! You've surpassed the Blue Anchor Special thanks to Amy and the tall ginger guy ( sorry didn't get hes name ) for their attentive and excellent service We shall return during the week Many thanks

Amazing team here, such a wonderful pub and great food. I dine here a lot and this pub/ restaurant never fails to impress.

We decided to try the Spring Tavern last night based on its excellent reviews on Trip Adviser and the fact that the Management actually reply to guest comments ,and were not disappointed . On entering the pub it was great to see that it was so busy and this created a wonderful atmosphere,first impression. We were met by Amy who showed us to our table and made sure that we had our drinks promptly Luke then took over to take our main course order and was very helpful in giving my Son in Law some great recommendations for a Vegan meal. Our food was served quickly and was very tasty. All in all a great night out ….thanks to Luke and the team

Always kind and welcoming staff, amazing food !! Come here a few times now and the spring tavern never fails to let us down.

Had a lovely meal this evening, we sat in the bar area had some starters and wine was a lovely atmosphere. We was served by Bradley on the bar, a nice welcoming Barman, nothing was too much for him…. We will def be back again soon…..

Excellent food, brilliant ambiance for a quiet night out escaping the kids. We love the quality and the friendly staff who go above and beyond.

Bradley looked after us with patience and just the right amount of attentiveness and care. The food was perfect. The rib eye steak and pork belly deserve a special mention. A lovely lunch had by all.

Outstanding food and great atmosphere. Jason, our host for the evening was so much fun and really made our evening!
