The Star in Tandridge - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We booked in advance for the football final. However the poor layout of the outside area allowed tables to be unable to see the screen blocked by their hideous decoration. But also the screen is really small like from 1970s might as well be black and white. The price of the drink is terrible two diet cokes and a pint of beer came to £17 and upon reflection they are not a suitable location to host any major event. Hopefully from this review that might make some improvement for the establishment to maintain customers.

Met friends for Sunday Lunch here, it was our 2nd visit here, but had to call them twice before, having booked on line initially, as no confirmation received & was not confident that person I spoke to had completed the booking correctly, in the end all was well but could easily have given up, this process & some staff’s telephone manner needs to be improved. Nice welcome on arrival & shown to table promptly, we all chose a roast as we were disappointed that previously enjoyed skewers were not on the menu. Food was plentiful & nicely presented with relevant sauces offered, the potatoes were a bit disappointing not very crispy but the meat very tasty. Desserts chosen were Crème Brûlée & Treacle Tart both enjoyable. Overall we enjoyed our 2nd visit as a central meeting place for us all & prices were quite reasonable,

Nice pub and service was pleasant. 3 chicken dishes very average Pie deemed pretty average Pizzas seemed to be OK. We’d return but only for drinks. Nice outdoor seating area.

Our lunch club visited recently and had an admirably good lunch. Friendly staff and good service. I was interested our group is moving away from Real Ale and especially into fine non-alcoholic beers. Guiness and Lucky Saint were top notch. So, to the food. Pies met the tough criteria of the old gentlemen and were rated good. My Chicken Schnitzel was one of the juiciest and crispiest I’ve had in a pub. Thank you and you are on our list of places to return too

Lovely pub, clean facilities, great playground for kids. Food came out cold

Recent two night stay. Room and bathroom spacious and clean with plenty of fresh towels. Staff very attentive and nice. We had dinner in the restaurant and enjoyed our meal and breakfast too. It’s obviously very popular with families, so if you are looking for a quiet romantic getaway, perhaps not for you.

First time here and it could not disappoint. The roast dinners are amazing, top beef was just perfect. The kids loved their burgers and chips, pigs in blankets and as I type this now, deserts are being ordered. This place looks like a holiday venue and just takes you away from the world outside. Staff are so welcoming. 5 star across the board.

They do a lovely mushroom risotto here.

The meat was tough and had the flavor cooked out of it, we had to order a week in advance and they still got it wrong. The dessert was OK.

Just had their excuse of a beef Sunday dinner , even toby carvery could do better , beef was that over cooked I'm gutted I didn't take the beef home as have a pair of shoes that need a new sole ! Was that overcooked and potatoes were solid so not even par boiled , only edible thing on the plate was the small chunk of parsnip and the yorkie , once you beat it up to break it , gutted I didn't eat at McDonald's and I hate McDonald's, felt like they should have worn masks to rip me off paying for it , wouldn't go back if you paid me .

Went for lunch, great food and service

Had a lovely dinner here - the pizzas were large, tasty and interesting flavours (would recommend the goat's cheese)

Lovely food and atmosphere, really friendly staff .

A nice pub / restaurant with a large outdoor space for children to play. The Star has been a family favourite of ours for 5 or so years now, the food is good quality with decent portions, they have a pizza oven which the kids take advantage of every time. The prices are standard local pub, £16ish for a main and £7 for a dessert.

Great place to take children as it has a playground in the garden. Also children eat for £1 Monday to Friday with every main meal ordered

Hugely disappointing that unlike most pubs you cannot try a sample of wine without buying a glass or bottle.

Went there for lunch yesterday the service was non existent and everytime I wanted to order something I was made to feel uncomfortable the polish lady was nothing short of unfriendly and we were never asked if the food was good or if we needed anything else also when my wife mentioned that the toilet tap wasn’t working with no signs up she was told bluntly to use the hand sanitizer so will not be returning on a good note the food was good I hope they take notice and improve there people and service skills

Always a great place to visit. Staff are accommodating and it's a good place to be left alone to chat as long as you like.

Great place for meeting for lunch. Good selection of beers and ciders Generous portions of tasty food. Very clise to the oldest part of the billage and the church. Worth a visit.

Great atmosphere friendly staff

Liked the low key accommodation & breakfast offer. Not sure about the various ceiling bulges - looked like an alien force was trying to break into the bedroom. Great climbing frame etc (for our grandchildren, of course).

Exceeded all our expectations - the food was delicious with great menu options. The service was very welcoming and friendly!

Our 1st visit here to meet friends at a central point. Plenty of parking and pleasant welcome on arrival. Drinks order taken promptly then a bit of a wait to order our food, although we also took a while to choose from their comprehensive menu. The Starters we chose were Whitebait and Cheese Nachos, both plentiful & tasty. The mains we chose were either Pizzas or Flatbreads, of various types and were also generous portions and really tasty. Those having Pizza did comment that having a sharper knife would have been helpful to cut the Pizzas as the knives given were rather blunt. Overall a good first visit and will no doubt come again when in the area, thank you to all

The food is OK but nothing special. I ordered my steak blue only to be told chef would not cook it this way!!!!! I then asked for it rare and it arrived medium well done!! When I complained they changed it however not the sides such as onion rings so they then got cold. They then wanted to charge extra for fresh onion rings. Eventually this was resolved.

Didn't stay in a room Lunch was great Service was fabulous and friendly

Food ok well served nice staff Chef obviously knows his onions But I ordered London Pride ,it was too cold ,and due to that was not like an English Ale .not enjoyable at all the Harvey's had by my Son was just as it should be

Lovely food, amazing pizza! Friday lunch time was very busy.

Nice pub, good fire for hot drinks on a cold day. Food ok for a pub.

atmosphere is nice but the food is terrible. overpriced, overcooked and often lacking any real flavour or creativity. £36 for a steak and chips for the meat to be rock solid when specifically requested medium rare. I'm not sure what happened to this place as the cooking used to be of very high quality but the last few times I have gone it's been awful. will not be eating here again.

Stayed here for 2 nights and was very impressed with the set up they have 3 chalet type rooms outside I was offered inside or out , I chose outside as going for a walk on a night was a lot less hassle the food was brill and the room was clean with a nice tv and shower ,tea & coffee the staff where polite and helpful. This little Hamlet type village ooozes character with Grade 1 listed buildings all within a 5 minute walk.more recent review stopped here again really felt the place has dropped the ball as a staying guest we was not asked to reserve a table so ultimately told no room, eventually after waiting an hour we got a high table,I had the lamb kofta and was disappointed really bland to much shrubbery and 2 small pieces of lamb kofta won’t be eating here again!

Great food and service, the team never disappoint.

Stay the night for business and ensure I don’t get room 9 which is right above the bar and kitchen (extractors etc.) get room 8 but fairly pointless when they start stripping decs etc. at the bar at some godforsaken hour of the morning. ‘Want to do it before people start arriving’ so in other words tough if you are staying in the pub. There was only 2 rooms booked with 3 people……….be one less from now on.

Are a delicious vegan nut roast and veg. Excellent service and price serving could have been a little larger.

Good b&b very handy for racecourse.

Lovely place and staff very welcoming.. See you soon.

Another great roast dinner at The Star. As always very booked up and I had not booked. However, as she has done before Maddie showed a fantastic ''Can Do!'' attitude and made it work for me and my friend and found us a table. This level of customer service is rare these days but it is one of the things that set the Star apart from other places when busy. Food was great as usual too. Thank you. Terry

Absolutely superb place! Was there few times already and it was amazing. Very good food, attentive service and great atmosphere. Highly recommended! Will be back! Thank You!

Beautiful pub. The general atmosphere is lovely and warm. They have a fantastic quiz on a Thursday but be sure to book a table in advance as it gets busy!

Amazing food..loved the special bao buns were delicious 😋

What a lovely quaint country style pub. Excellent service and excellent food, if your going racing and looking for somewhere to stay, look no further, 5 minute walk, would definitely stay here again..

We booked early in the day for a Christmas Eve meal. The menus weren’t as advertised on the website (which is understandable in the run up to Christmas but I hadn’t see any messages online saying the full menu wouldn’t be available). Staff were lovely and friendly and the atmosphere was cosy and warm. However, it took nearly 40 minutes to order food despite the restaurant not being particularly busy. We couldn’t order with the one wait staff who was around as she wasn’t allowed to take orders. When eventually someone did come over to take our order they then told us we only had 90 minutes for our meal. Trying to pay for our meal once we’d finished also wasn’t easy and waited at the bar for a whole. I’d go back to give the pub another chance as we did like the setting. However, service would need to improve considerably

I enjoyed the varied selection of food a lot including different sized meals. The small plates were particularly appreciated. The room was comfortable and warm although the TV was on the side wall which means you get a stiff neck. The bathroom could do with modernising but was clean and functional. I really enjoyed my stay. The Inn was exquisitely decorated for Christmas and had a lovely cosy feel. Avoid the right hand side behind the wine rack as it was very cold indeed and would benefit from some heating in winter. The staff were efficient and clearly work very hard but I didn’t see a single smile for two days.

This is a lovely pub the staff are always helpful and friendly lovely cozy fire great I would definitely go again

Booked 2 nights accommodation. Pub well staffed, reasonable menu, childrens outdoor area, hugh woodfired pizza oven. Accommodation very clean and comfortable. Excellent staffing skills. We had one very minor problem that was immediately sorted. Would stay again.

Very nice looking pub / restaurant. Fantastic outside seating area and playground for children. Menu was ok could have a few more choices and portion sizes are small. Parking in car park or outside on the road.

Quiet pint, but swearing mother's, whining mother's, unruly children who ignore their mum's and miserable staff. Nice weather though!!!

Selected The Star as my wife dines here once every 4-5 weeks with a group of friends. Came for Sunday lunch for my family and it was very busy. But service was OK, Sadly the roasts that we were served were disappointing; the roast beef was too much for the cutlery; roast turkey breast was carved in right angles which was novel. Vegetables were under cooked. The desserts were OK but the size of the sticky toffee pudding was very small. A very small potion of ice cream. Altogether a very disappointing meal. Having dined here before I know that they can do better.

A disappointing meal. Fish very small and hard batter that fell apart when cutting. Fish very dry. Chips overcooked. Three of our group had classic burgers and all had different things with them. Some had coleslaw some salad and one just chips.

We booked a table at The Star for a large group for a family member's birthday. There were 16 of us, so a bit of a challenge for staff getting everything co-ordinated. They managed looking after a large group extremely well, everything was co-ordinated and service quick. The food was really good too, and the bill was very reasonable. But more than anything, the staff were great, accommodating and helpful.

Went for a colleagues retirement party on the terrace and wow what a lovely pub. Great facilities for the kids who also joined us and good selection of food supplied for the buffet. Looked at the menus whilst there and was pleasantly surprised by the value and range so now considering on the shortlist for this year’s work Christmas party.

It's a nice looking pub with a great garden & play area for the kids, but the welcome isn't a warm one. A look invites you to say what you want & after that, there's very little eye contact. The only repartee seems to be reserved for the white van regulars and it's surprising to see them drinking here with prices of Doombar at £6.40 a pint and Harveys at £5.60. I paid £4.80 for a much better pint of Harveys in London W1 the next day! The food's not bad though, but you'll probably end up clearing your own table if you're in the garden as the staff only seem to appear to deliver the food, aren't clean to clear up afterwards, and certainly don't wipe the tables.

Great pub with large indoor and outdoor seating areas. The beer garden is extensive, having a large children's climbing frame and an undercover seating area. There is a very well stocked bar with a good range of beers, wines and spirits. It also appears to be dog friendly. It is clean and nicely presented. There is a good menu, having the usual pub fare as well as an outdoor burger bar. The food was very good indeed, ample portions, well cooked and nicely presented. I cannot really fault the service, our waiting time was not excessive and the staff were polite and friendly. It's not bad value for money, prices are about average for the area. I would recommend booking, especially at weekends when it can be very busy. Well worth a visit

Sunday lunch- I was impressed that adults with smaller appetites were able to order a chid sized roast thank you

We went today for the coronation weekend. Outside was a street party going on which looked amazing, in the car park of the star there was entertainment all day long. But I have got to say the pub was full to the max and the...

Tasty food, lovely atmosphere, friendly and helpful staff. Thank you for looking after us so well, Jim.

Excellent service and delicious food. Thanks to Tom who was very attentive. Thank you to all the team at the Star.

Lunch for 4 on a Saturday. Very busy pub with great atmosphere and plenty of kids/ pushchairs. But it has a real log fire and great service. Our food was delicious with large portions. The food was also very tasty! Will be back very soon....

We moved to the area a year ago and The Star has been such a great pub for us as family. We’ve had dinners and lunches next to the kids playing outside. We’ve had business lunches, and adult birthday gatherings and The Star always delivers...

As always the food is excellent , service is friendly and welcoming. Such a lovely village pub in the heart of Lingfield

Fifteen of local Ladies from the WI enjoyed a great evening on Monday. Because we were a large group we did a preorder. From start to finish the communications were excellent (managing a few changes along the way). On the night the service was excellent...

Visited at the weekend for the first time and it definitely won't be our last. We were visiting with friends and our children. This was a perfect venue. The children kept themselves entertained in the play area while we could enjoy good conversation sat in...

Good food. Large revenue well-furnished with lots of parking. But there was a male waiter who definitely lacked curtesy. The others working there were lovely. This one was abrupt and unwelcoming. Bad day for him maybe? But it spoilt our visit and for this reason...

Visited the Star today with my wife and son to celebrate his birthday and can only say the experience was fantastic and just what we were looking for. The food was very excellent and at a very reasonable price. We all had three courses and...

We had a wait if 75 minutes for our starter followed by an hour for our main. All 5 mains were mostly inedible. Steak and ale pie - burnt underneath and on top. Mashed potatoes cold inside and very dry and hot on outside. Cod...

Imagine if it's race day at 9pm and they won't let anyone in for know reason it's a joke. It's like they don't want to make any money don't recommend for a night out really wired people.

The staff here are really attentive and friendly. They were challenged today by an extremely busy service, but still kept it together and despite some very understandable slight delays still brought out great food with a friendly service. Highly recommended.

Booing a table online made no difference once you arrived. We waited 20 minutes just to be seated even though it was reserved. Service very slow due to lack of staff, waited 30 minutes for starter and 50 minutes for main. Course . Staff was...

We have been here several times before Covid, and it was good. The staff are always helpful and polite. The food is good for a village pub, with good sized portions. Good selection of wine and beers. We will be back.

We visited here on Saturday for the first time. Evening meal for four. The ambience of the pub was amazing really lovely place. Menu good and food really good. Our friends were not 100% sold on the burgers, but my husband and I throughly enjoyed...

If I had to rate only the room, it would easily earn 5 stars. Big, good bed, 4 pillows, huge bathroom. Teas, coffees, kettle. 5 stars. I arrived early afternoon, I greeted the staff. Nothing in return other than what is my name. She asked...

The service in the Star was impeccable. The selection of dishes, including specials, satisfied everyone’s requirements. I would recommend the specials, lamb and bouillabaisse. Recently I have suffered the worst loss I could possibly have imagined so dining out alone has been tough. Everyone has...

We ate there last night. The service was good. The tables were well spaced. The beer was also quite good, perhaps not quite as fresh as it could be but that may just be that it was an unfamiliar brew. I suppose my main disappointment...

Great pub with great food. Very welcoming. Good beers, cocktails and wines. Nice vibe and great location. If we are in the area again we will visit.

This was our 3rd visit & once again we were not disappointed. Great location for the racecourse, about a 10 minute walk. Food & drink very good with a varied selection. Lovely atmosphere outside. Room very clean. Would definitely recommend.

We booked up for Sunday lunch for the first time in this popular pub (we were visiting a nearby antiques fair) and went straight for the beef and turkey roasts, knowing, from past experience elsewhere, that often having a starter first can spoil our enjoyment...

Ten family members met for Sunday lunch at The Star, we were seated outside opposite the play area. Our orders were taken quickly - 3 of the children had ordered burgers so their meals arrived quite some time ahead of the roast dinners. There were...

The setting and interior of this pub is outstanding. 3 of us dined; all having different items off the menu. The meals were tasty. The service was good

RUBBISH ROAST. On a Sunday they have a very limited menu as it’s The Sunday roast menu which is fine. However to have your order taken to be told that they have no lamb and only 2 beef left was disappointing, so we all changed...

Booked in for a meal late afternoon not busy tables empty Had to wait 15 minutes to get drinks after ordering When food did get to us it was dumped on table was not asked if we would like any sauces etc staff could not...

Went in for a family meal on Sunday afternoon. The pub wasn't busy but it took over 10 minutes for our drinks to arrive after we had ordered them. The Sunday roast was very good but because the serving staff didn't come and clear our...

Superb food but very disappointed with comment from Manager when we settled our bill. It was Ladies Night and ladies have a 50% discount on some of the menu options. Steak is not included and that is clear. I ordered fish and chips and my...

The star is a nice venue with a children's play area on this occasion the food was a complete let down, I Had the jerk chicken burger very bland.

Excellent pub. The food is great with a lovely menu, decor is excellent, great service, lovely outside area and great playground for the children. What more can you ask for in a local pub!

After telling our friends about how amazing this pub is we were so disappointed with our experience today. The food was amazing as always and the service was great, but the organisation was terrible and really let’s the pub down. We were sat on the...

The Star is great for kids with its fab garden with brilliant climbing equipment but also smart dining area with high quality food!! I loved the atmosphere here and it's the kinda place you can while away the hours!! My daughter loved playing on the...

Group of lads treated with disrespect the moment we walked in, with the worry we would be too loud. We were respectful the whole evening, yet a member of staff in an England gilet was nothing but rude, including swearing, and threats to kick us...

Excellent food, very tasty. Great service and beautiful cosy restaurant with log burner. Plenty of parking. Will definitely come here again.

Can’t fault the food here. It is lovely. Came on a day where there was that government deal which really showed how popular The Star is . It was quite busy but procedures in place to ensure social distancing.
