The Surrey Oaks in Mole Valley

Lovely atmosphere. The menu looks good. Definitely, I will come back to have something to eat.

Every time I visit the Surrey Oaks it is outstanding! Amazing food, fantastic service, friendly staff, clean, best country pub for miles!

Loved the menu, food excellent and service great. We will be visiting here again.

Absolutely loved it here, food was amazing, (we had the steak) service was efficient without being rushed. Will definitely be returning.

My inlaws have lived nearby for 20 years. We have driven past on many occasions. We popped in and was pleasantly surprised how busy it was. Lovely atmosphere and food looked good

So charming, very good menu and nice atmosphere and people.

We had a really enjoyable dining experience at The Surrey Oaks. The service was really prompt and friendly and the pie I had was most definitely worthy of a special mention. Beef and mushroom wrapped in beautiful shortcrust pastry and served on a bed of mash with savoy cabbage and lashings of gravy, I mean what’s not to like?! It really was a 10/10 from me. The couple who joined me both had scampi and chips and thoroughly enjoyed them too. We’ll be back!

Visited here for Sunday lunch for the first time recently. Tables very tight to each other so felt a bit on top of each other. Sat down at 2.00pm as per booking and had to ask for menus as nobody came to our table after 6-7 minutes. Sat for a further 25 minutes with menus being ignored. By 2.35 nobody had been to our table to take our order, so we told the person behind the bar we were leaving and just got an “okay” couldn’t care less response! Shocking service and plenty of other decent pubs doing good lunches with service to match, so shan’t be coming back here.

Sad to see that some other folk have had a bad experience here, we had dinner on Friday evening with 4 other friends and I can honestly say I can't remember a better dining experience in a pub, It was very busy but service was great as was the food, for once a proper pie and not a dish of whatever with a pastry lid from Brake Bro's !, vegetables great , and the landlord even rustled up a pudding on our request, just speaking as I find and rarely leave a review, we will return !

There are times when you have such a good meal in a restaurant that you start looking around for the small things to put into a review to make it look 'balanced'. I'm sorry to disappoint you but in the case of the Surrey Oaks for Sunday lunch there were no small things. The 'big thing' was the size of the portions for the main meal. I had roast lamb (done to perfection) and my wife enjoyed the roast chicken. The vegetables were al dente (wonderful!) and the Yorkshire pudding was vast and very eatable. An then there was the gravy. Just so rich and viscous. I could still find room for an apple and rhubarb crumble and wife enjoyed her ice creams. Total bill around £50 with no alcoholic drinks. What else to say. The parking area is vast, and there was room on the road outside for a coach and four Shire horses, joined later by a coach and two. That's also an indication of how little traffic there was on the road. It's that sort of pub. There are a number of comments in the reviews below about the level of service. We found the service to be responsive with a lot of smiles even though there was a party of eight and a party of twelve. Very decent wine list. The pub is around 15 minutes from Horsham, Dorking and Reigate and we thought it was a) absolutely worth the drive and b) absolutely worth planning to return ASAP Ah. Just remembered a small thing - sharper knives please.

Lovely pub, unfortunately my daughter made a booking for mother's day, it was chaotic, arrived at 11h45 put in our order 2 of the party ordered starters which arrived timeously. Waited an hour for mains to arrive food was very good but the deserts arrived without cutlery and eventually had to go to bar to collect it ourselves.. Eventually left the pub at 15h15. Very disappointed we will return but never again on a special day.

Had a great Mother’s Day Sunday lunch. Food deliscious and staff were super friendly. Thanks so much … had a lovely experience there

We had an excellent lunch on Mothers’ Day at The Surrey Oaks with all the mothers in the family. The food was imaginative and cooked to perfection. Terrific atmosphere!

Great Beer ,good service ,shame about outside seating areas getting very shabby ,come on management sort the garden out.

Wow!! what a brilliant place..went here on Mother's Day and although they were so busy, staff were all so efficient and super cheerful.. delicious food too and easy parking!! A special well done to their manager, Thyra who was brilliant!!

My daughter and I had a beautiful lunch, starter delicious hollandaise asparagus tart with poached egg Parma ham, main the lamb roast which was outstanding! Better than mine!! Staff were attentive even though the pub was absolutely chocca! We sat under the veranda until our table was ready, as obviously you cannot predict how long each table are going to take to enjoy their experience. It was well worth the wait and will definitely be going back!! Totally would recommend!

Went for Mother’s Day with 2 young boys. They were an hour late to seat us. Took another hour to get any food. Our booking was 2pm got to 5pm and the pub was getting absolutely packed with people waiting to be sat for the dinner sitting. Was 5pm and we’re still waiting for our deserts. Was carnage just had to give up and leave without deserts. Menu was limited what food we got was ok not great. Basically they overbooked far over their capacity absolute greed worse restaurant experience I’ve ever had. Avoid I will never go back again !!!!

Been using this lovely Surrey pub for years, hope Angus is having fun in his new adventures, always a pleasure, the location, food and drinks are all epic, try the pie, the pie is amazing , always a treat to go

Wonderful experience in this English pub, when asked what typical food to eat, the waiter was happy to recommend their Chicken Pie, a chicken and spinach pie on a bed of mashed potatoes and vegetables surrounded by a delicious sauce. Happy to having had dinner in this pub next to the fireplace with a good Guinness. Top staff. A thousand thanks

Out with friends and family looking for the best Sunday roast. Our first outing took us to the Surrey Oaks a traditional country pub, it was busy when we arrived and we were seated at a large table in the low ceilinged old section of the pub. The roast selection was great 3 meats on offer and a veggie roast option. As it was busy the service was a little slow but the atmosphere and company made up for the waiting time. The roast was good perhaps a little too big (tried the trio meat roast). The Yorkshire puddings were a little too crispy, but the veg selection was good. For those who could make space (kids mainly) the deserts were really good, plenty of choice. Slightly more expensive than their peers, but on a par for quality of food. Altogether a very pleasant afternoon.

This was our visit to The Surrey Oaks today for Sunday lunch and we loved this place. Delicious food 😋 nice generous size portions and good value for money 👌. Highly recommend this place and we will be back. Thank you for great service.

We visited recently with the family for a late Sunday lunch and really enjoyed it. Surrey Oaks is a lovely, cosy pub that is very welcoming and friendly. Lots of choice on the menu and the food was very good. Looking forward to coming back soon.

A quintessentially English pub, with fantastic real ale, warm fires, friendly welcoming service and a historic feel to the pub itself.

I visited for Valentine’s Day and the special menu was superb. They had a lovely selection of dishes for each course, each one extra special for Valentine’s Day with lots of finishing touches. All the food was wonderful and you could tell the chef puts so much care into his food. I had a tart to start and a vegetarian pasta dish for my main which was so delicious. The red velvet cake with strawberry mouse was divine and so beautiful on the plate. All finished with homemade champagne truffles! Will definitely be back!

Had a wonderful Valentine’s meal with the wife. Every thing was perfect. The food was amazing and the beer selection was very much to my liking. Can’t wait to return to try their Sunday roast.

A great traditional pub with amazing food, especially the monk fish..Great selection of ale and brilliant ale festival with live music on the bank holidays. Highly recommend.

Delicious roast lovely atmosphere

We came here 'on spec' for Sunday lunch. It was exceptionally good. No problem with lack of booking, friendly attentive service without being overwhelming, great food with substantial portions - full choice of roasts, but also an imaginative list of starters & desserts. Convivial atmosphere and excellent value for money. One review said the service was slow - it's not, it's just relaxed, and just right for a Sunday lunchtime.

Just had the most fantastic Sunday lunch. So much of it super tasty and fresh. The staff are great and fab beer we so are going back.

Really enjoyed excellent food in a beautiful pub. Burgers and halloumi for mains, and crumble and ice cream for desert. Brilliant.

Went for Christmas menu, Really busy and had pre ordered. Staff were lovely and food was good, lots of it. Recommend this pub to everyone. Extensive well presented menu.

It was a pub I used regularly when I lived closer, great beer, lovely staff.

Great food, terrific landlord/host, attentive service. Who could ask for more? Heartily recommended. We five will definitely return.

Thoroughly enjoyed a mid week meal there as part of a large group. It was a high quality 3 course meal with very friendly and efficient staff. Would go again.

Went for a light lunch on a busy Saturday afternoon. Place was lively with all outside seating taken. Order taken at bar and food served briskly even though there were many people dining. We both had bacon and brie baguettes and they were very tasty and well presented. Would like to see some more local ales on offer but that is am observation not a criticism. A local pub for me and I will return regularly. This place does things right.

There for a family Xmas meal. Absolutely amazing afternoon 3 days of good food 25/12 at my in laws 26/12 everyone at our place 27/12 Surrey Oaks 3 days of good food

Best selection of cider and beer, far better than than any other "pub" great visit for someone who loves a pint of something. Something for everyone Lager, Ale, Cider, Stout and more. Food is basic but perfectly good. Staff are friendly. Large garden with plenty of seating in summer, cosy pub in winter. Great local pub, love it. Recommended 👍

The beer was superb as always and the staff were friendly. Sadly though there was a 1.5 hour wait on food (that we weren't warned about). The pub wasn't especially busy but there were plenty of phone orders coming through. Perhaps the pub should have prioritised customers in the premises over taking additional phone orders that clearly they couldn't cope with. A shame.

First visit and it wasn’t bad at all! The waitress was really nice. The food arrived quickly. I did find the portion rather large and the sausages were quite tough but it was nice enough! Also would have been good if the staff had of come over to see if we wanted anymore drinks after we said no a previous time, but 3 mins later we could have done with another drink!

Half Price steak night is so worth it..

Went here for a Roast on Sunday it was absolutely gorgeous!!! The meats were cooked to perfection. Never had such tender pork (only ordered for crackling) it literally melted in the mouth. Beef was perfect, charred ends, rendered fat and med rare in the middle. Roast potatoes were a bit of a let down... needed another 30 mins on high, but overall it deserves 5 stars and one of the best locally, from Charlwood to Dorking👍👍

Our walking group walked locally in Newdigate on Sunday 10th and then had our annual Christmas lunch at the Surrey Oaks. Nineteen of us and two dogs - fifteen of us soaked by a squall just before the end of the walk! The staff couldn't have been friendlier or more welcoming. The food was great and so was the service. We were a noisy bunch and completely filled our reserved room which made serving and clearing a bit of a challenge. Not a problem! We were a happy bunch.

Brilliant food and great selection of real ale 🍺 👌

Good food, Great atmosphere, good value, pleasant staff.

Proper Pub, amazing food and great Service

Wife and I both had Pie of the day.. had to wait a little while but the pub was busy but boy was it worth the wait. The pie was tasty, the mash creamy the gravy delicious and all piping hot and generous portions.

Just had a starter of delicious gravadlax as we were both going to eat in the evening. Service was friendly and excellent, and the pub was lovely and warm on a cold damp day! Would recommend.

Super impressed and will return.

Ordered the Roast Beef. Beef was stringy and fatty. Meal wasn't hot. Gravy was thin and not enough to cover the Yorkshire pudding. Too expensive as well when the service charge was added.

Wow wow wow! What a find. We found this pub looking for a place to have a walk (Hammonds Copse) and we loved it, The food and service was fantastic. We started with pigs in blankets to share (which was actually a sandwich but the waitress asked for a few just to nibble on) delicious. I had the venison and red wine sausages and mash and my partner had the crusted monkfish tail. Both absolutely wonderful. And to finish my favourite sticky toffee pudding and salted caramel ice cream. Yum!! Fabulous lunch. Fabulous service. Fabulous place.

Lovely pub. Atmosphere is always great. Have been a lot but disappointing today. Food was really ordinary and chips - bulk standard and out of the freezer?

Just Fantastic. The perfect example of how a country pub should be - delicious food, washed down with wondrous real ale, sat by a log burning fire, surrounded by historic beams and artifacts and looked after by lovely, attentive staff. An absolute must go to destination. We'll definitely be back 😊

I hadn’t visited for a while, my ice tasted a bit mouldy? The surrey oaks used to be a great pub, the beer is okay, £8.00 for a key keg beer? Could be better. The bar staff are friendly but not like the past, they...

Just three weeks ago The Surrey Oaks started offering brunch. The menu is great from a breakfast to Vegan. I chose scrambled eggs with smoked salmon and avocado. It proved the best scrambled (creamy) egg I had ever tasted. The roaring log fire and the...

Just enjoyed the Wednesday half-price steak night. It was very tasty and cooked to perfection. Well done to head chef Craig and the rest of the team.

Lovely food,relaxing atmosphere, would definitely recommend

What a lovely, friendly and quietly set little country pub. We have visited a few times here now. Always outstanding with the service and food. The Staff are incredibly friendly and ensure a warm welcome as soon as you arrive throughout your whole time here....

Very friendly good atmosphere, great food. Lovely country pub really welcoming. Would 100% recommend

Met some friends here for a Sunday Roast, it is a very nice pub with some really interesting and old rooms that were clearly made before men were as tall as I am. Excellent beer selection and the food was excellent. I had the Roast trio and I would definitely go back and order the same again.

One of the best meals I have ever eaten in my life ( & I’ve been about) Monkfish & it’s accompanied friends ..was a marriage made in heaven … the Pom ana - literally melted in the mouth …. Words cannot do this food justice...

The pie and lamb shank were excellent. Highly recommended and would definitely go there again for a meal

Super roast,four well cooked vegetables. No room for a pudding!

Had a fantastic birthday lunch here. Owners had some great beer and food recommendations- we ended up doing a few half pints to dry different ones. The goats cheese tart was to die for! Sausages and mash and pork belly were also really great. Would definitely recommend dropping by. So many beers to try and lovely atmosphere

First time visit for Sunday lunch today.There were 6 of us and no one could fault the quality of the food nor the service. We were made to feel very welcome and will certainly revisit. Highly recommend.

Excellent food, excellent service, excellent atmosphere.

Thursday supper club set menu was great! £22 for 3 courses is great value, great chef, great service!

Food and staff were excellent. Really recommend Thursday night’s supper club. Only rank the atmosphere down as it was quite dark and difficult to see my food. Overall a great experience.

Thursday's supper club was ace! 3 courses, £22 can't go wrong, great service, great chef

Met with friends we hadn’t seen for sometime and booked for lunch. Didn’t make our table for our booked time as we were catching up in the bar, not an issue for our hosts who throughput our visit were attentive and so friendly. The food...

A real shame. This used to be a well run and relaxed pub. We'd booked for 3pm..place was chaotic and they couldn't find our booking. No tables available. It was a bit cold but sunny so said we'd sit outside. Same issue with the party...

Our first visit here and we will definitely go back. Food here was delicious and service was good. We all had steaks which were perfect and the best onion rings I've eaten.

Great experience at such a cozy pub! The food was as good as the service, special shout out to the polite young gentleman behind the bar with the long hair who helped me with beer choice selection

A fine starting point for a country walk. Good food, good conversation and a lovely Sunday afternoon walk.

Friendly pub with good atmosphere and real ale

Nice country pub with a lot going on..

The Mirrorball stout was amazing, such a great selection of ales, good food

Had an excellent Sunday Lunch yesterday. Roast chicken was delicious and would definitely recommend saving room for dessert, sticky toffee pudding was amazing

£6-60 for 2 small coffees is expensive.

Lovely pub, super Sunday lunch. So nice to find a pub that is not part of a chain with an individual menu. Tired of going to different town different pub same menu. Very friendly staff, orders arrived quickly and efficiently generous portions lamb and beef...

Worst Sunday lunch I've experince. Potatoes had been left out all day and just reheated in Chef Mike before coming out, this goes for most of the meal to be honest. Meal was only worth £5. Presentation was dreadful, food all stacked up, looks like...

Really lovely food and great service. The pub doesn’t have the best decor but is fine and the atmosphere is made by everything being nice.

Really nice setting lovely place to eat and drink

Very welcoming and lovely food. We stayed in the car park in our campervan too.

Good car club meeting place every month. Good food, beer, and service

Great beer, food let it down though. Fairly overpriced in relation to portion size and quality. Also we were charged service charge, in a pub?? with no service??

Had a great lunch with friends well done guys

We were staying in a place around the corner and were very pleased to be so close to this pub! The burgers were delicious, the beer very nice and it had a lovely atmosphere in the garden with all the fairy lights. We enjoyed it...

We ordered the burgers with cheese for myself, my guardsman and my son. We drive all the way over from Epsom in Surrey having read about the reviews on their burgers. I can honestly say that it was the worst burger we had ever had....

Lovely country pub, friendly staff, good food and its doggy friendly. Also lots of parking lovely garden.

We had a wonderful evening last night for my (soon-to-be) son-in-law’s birthday. We were attracted by half price steak night. All of our steaks, without exception, were gorgeous. We are frequent visitors to Flat Iron restaurants and these steaks were even nicer. The service was...

Nice pub. Great food and beer half price steak night

Lovely pub and great service and food, was there for a private event , can't fault , nice outside area too.

Nice country pub. Food was delicious (chips were mmmmmm 😋) - went in summer holidays and kids enjoyed the art session. Plenty of outdoor space with added touch of kids play area.

Saw their “half price steak night” on Facebook and thought we would give it a go! Glad we booked. Both my husband and son had the steak, sirloin and rump, which were cooked to perfection and were on the large side. My husband commented that...

Party of 20 people served by happy people with lovely food and drink prices reasonable and great atmosphere

Off the cuff lunch outing with the family. A nice greeting from a lovely lady who showed us to a table outside under cover. Drinks and food orders were taken quickly and the lady recommended a lovely IPA called Light Bulb. Food arrived quickly and...

Lovely old pub, with amazing food!. Staff were also all really accommodating and friendly. Will definitely be back !

All round great pub,big selection of beers,loads of seating outdoors,definitely going back!!

Excellent meal - halloumi in batter with guacamole and chips. Friendly staff, good surroundings. A pleasant atmosphere. Definitely make a return visit.
