Three Compasses in Waverley

Stopped here for lunch after having a local walk with our dog,really pleased that we did as the food was really lovely and all home made.We both had the pie of the day( chicken and bacon) and then one of us had the Rocky road brownie whilst the other had the apple and nut crumble,all of the food was delicious and we will definitely be returning.

We popped in on our way back from a long walk. Lovely and friendly staff, very nice food delivered piping hot. What more can you want .

Under new management, Leanne and the staff are very welcoming and the food is top notch. Sunday roasts are amazing and I'm not a roast lover 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Such a lovely atmosphere, cosy pub. Very welcoming staff professional customer service felt very welcomed and valued by the staff especially Leanne and Bailey Food was delicious , cost , presentation, quality was phenomenal !! A hidden 2 Michelin star chef in the kitchen that really brings food to an incredible standard. Will be making a regular visit I recommend everyone to do so ….. book in advance to secure a seat you will not be disappointed

This is a truly brilliant place to go the new managers are amazing. The food is absolutely fantastic the roast pork is to die for

Had the most amazing meal, the atmosphere is great and service was so friendly ❤️

12 of us rocked up for a Sunday roast and wow what an experience! The food was superb, in fact the best roast we have had out! It was such a lovely afternoon thanks to the amazing team at the three compasses . I would definitely recommend, but be sure to book as you will not want to be disappointed.

Dog friendly!! Great pub with a good space outside! This evening enjoyed a lovely campfire and s’more making! The staff are on it and lovely!! Love music on a Friday night and lovely atmosphere. Great food and drink options well priced!

Vikki was very welcoming the food and drinks were great, good service. Highly recommend.

We had a family Sunday lunch celebration for 9. We’re all quite fussy, & everyone had a superb roast with all having different choices. Great food, lovely atmosphere & friendly staff. We’ll definitely be returning. Relaxed atmosphere & dog friendly.

Dined here with my family on Saturday evening. We were impressed with the warm welcome from all staff and the great service. The food was delicious and really good value for money. Looking forward to trying their Sunday roast very soon.

Very nice little lunch, great menu options. The ingredients were high quality and so were all the options in the menu. Will definitely visit again soon.

Excellent food, I wish you good luck

We had an excellent lunch, the quality of the food was very good. The service very good. If there is something to say, it is that it was a little cold, but nothing that cannot be improved. We will definitely be back.

Such a lovely find! The trio of pork roast was absolutely delicious and had such a nice cosy atmosphere with the fires going. Will definitely be back for another and would 100% recommend!

Enjoyed delicious food with family and friends. Great service in a wonderful setting. I will definitely be returning very soon.

Such a lovely pub for a variety of food and drinks. Our food was absolutely delicious, with such quick service for a big table along with a cosy atmosphere by the fire. Would definitely return for some cocktails too!

The staff were so friendly and lovely to talk to. There is a great family friendly atmosphere and we felt right at home. I have had a Sunday roast and a midweek meal with friends and the food is amazing. I would definitely recommend for a lovely hearty pub meal. I also brought my dog in and they were very welcoming as the owners also have dogs at the pub.

Such a lovely pub for a variety of food and drinks. Our food was absolutely delicious, with such quick service for a big table along with a cosy atmosphere by the fire. Would definitely return for some cocktails too!

The Three Compasses has recently reopened and been redecorated. It has such a cosy inviting atmosphere. The management team are young, friendly, professional and so experienced it is delight to go to this pub. I was made to feel to welcome from the moment I stepped through the door. The choice of drinks and food is fantastic. This is one that will definitely be visited again and again and will be recommended to other family and friends.

Food is okay but very pricey. Management have changed the place from what it once was but very dull and no entertainment just a bog standard dinning room if you ask me with drinks service it’s a shame to see the place loose it’s vibes as the place used to be busy and child friendly not so much anymore

New management are really welcoming and have a lovely menu as well as delicious cocktails. Such a nice atmosphere with the log fire a real treat . Will definitely be back ! Highly recommend visiting here 😊

We have lived in the area for over a year and never visited before but happened to attend their opening event. Lovely pub with a good atmosphere. Dog friendly

The new management team have done absolutely wonders with this pub. Their new menu is phenomenal, the black pudding scotch eggs were particularly fabulous! The drinks selection is great and the new decor is gorgeous. We'll done to Vikki, Sam, Leanne and Bailey for making this pub my new favourite!!!

Honestly one of the nicest pubs I've ever been to. Previously had a bad experience but the new management are fantastic and are really trying to pave a better way for the pub. The drinks selection is phenomenal, all the staff are super friendly and the atmosphere was top notch. I will be a regular from here on out!!! Brilliant job Vikki, Sam, Leanne and Bailey 👌.

Advertised as open until 10 on a Monday, arrived at 5.55 to be told couldn't be served as closing at 6. About 8 people in the bar, 3 outside. Strange idea to close. Wouldn't have stayed as person behind bar never apologised or gave a reason for closing 4 hours early, bit grumpy. No ale on. Fortunately we were told about The Sun in Dunsfold village which turned out to be a little gem. Friendly welcome, good choice of ales, log fire and smiling staff.

Really friendly pub since re opened in 2023, great value for money and dog friendly.

A very friendly, sociable little pub, recently reopened I think. The staff are friendly and a good selection of beers are on offer. I dropped in on a Friday evening. There was a mobile fish and chip shop outside.

Friendly staff I think just reopened beer was flat and not much choice.

Just a passing visit, made me and my wife feel welcome. Camping in the local campsite so its nice and close.

Said online serving food but when we visited af 6pm on a Sunday said only breakfast

Bar staff were very good, good country pub with a really good atmosphere

Not my kind of pub. Aimed at sporting crowd. Beer was fine.

Great food. Great staff and a great drink selection. Also a great atmosphere.

If you need a lovely breakfast to start off your day I suggest stopping here under new management happy and cheerful greeting professional attitude from start to finish breakfast was everything I needed very tasty keep up the good work.

Was closed but now reopening in November 22. 5 years ago: Good quality food and ales. Frienly staff. Lovely garden area and seating inside & out. Are currently refurbishing the indoor restaurant area.

after reading the x Tenants reply i was going to contact Stonegate about this Tenancy I think I may steer clear. I feel so sorry for the ex Tenants who tried their best as a multiple Tenant myself I know how hard it was during covid. I am so pleased you are doing very well in Epsom and one day will take a trip there as I only live in Sutton.

I hate to do this but I'm only saying what a lot are thinking. We have been regular customers here for years. The place has gone seriously downhill in the past months, running out of beer, stopping doing food, heating turned off. It's been shut for nearly 2 weeks as of today's date, with no indication of it ever reopening. Where has our beloved local gone? It's a huge shame.

Lovely friendly staff, even when my toddler was being an absolute monkey!!

Nice peaceful pint after a hectic festival

Love it, love it and love it 😀 Staff & people fabulous!!! Morgan (managers) you r absolutely amazing 👏❤

Great food not too busy. Friendly staff and dined under giant marquee. Scampi was very tasty hubby loved the sausage and mash. A very good dining experience Thsnks

COVID compliant with plenty of signage and spacing between tables. Staff were friendly and very accommodating. Food was lovely and well recommended. Assistant Manager made a lovely Latte (had 3). Worth a drive out to visit, drink and eat.

Staff were lovely and very helpful. Service was prompt and food was very tasty

Delightful way to spend a few hours in good company and great hospitality

Very friendly clean good value for money tasty food we will definitely be back soon lovely garden plenty of parking.

Lovely food, setting and staff. Will definitely be back. Marquee with sofas, very comfortable.

Very difficult for them to increase there business when bt can't reconnect their telephone line,.WHY???????

Really lovely ppl there.nice freshly made dishes too..we love it there.

Had lunch there. Lovely, tasty food. Friendly and welcoming service.

We've been in to eat twice since the lovely Three Compasses reopened. The circumstances don't help, but, the welcome was fantastic with excellent people behind the bar and serving, the chef came out to chat with us, explaining how he had created some of the dishes on the menu (coronation chicken croquettes mmmmmmmm) it's clean and smart and a joy. If you haven't been in there for a while, get yourselves back in! Totally understand with coronavirus making things awkward but give this beautiful little pub a go. In my humble opinion, you won't regret it. Ten out of ten guys, hang on in there, you're going to do so well 🤩

Friendly helpful staff, large garden and great home made cake

Very nice crew, pub food as you'd expect, place looks to have been recently refurbished. We had a good time!

Nice place to be and visit, food drink and garden

I went for a lite pub lunch, but that is not what they do, it is geared to dining. I also wanted to sit in garden, but no parasols. I admired the whole layout, and I picked an Appetiser and a starter, both of which were good. It is only second week open, but they need to absorb what this area is needing. Fine dining in evening of course, but day time to build their reputation some pub type lunches, or don’t open during the day time. Good service And willing staff, just a bit lost at moment, early days. I wish them well

The pub changed hands just before the lockdown in March which was very unfortunate for the new landlords. However, since reopening I have partaked in a couple of beers there and an evening meal. The bar staff are friendly and helpful. The bar area seemed very empty due to covid distancing but you can see the potential there. Same again in the restaurant area. But the food was fab. Not a huge menu but everything was well presented and the food cooked was very tasty. They seem to support local suppliers. Plenty of garden space and there was talk of a pet corner which l think would attract young families. I wish them good luck during these hard times.

I cannot recommend this pub enough. My husband and I came for a meal hoping for something nice and was blown away! Good honest food, fresh produce and served beautifully. The restaurant is lovely and cosy but carefully arranged so social distancing is not a problem. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.

The pub as a venue looks incredible, my father used to spend many a Sunday lunchtime here whilst I was growing up must have been 10 years in total. It has transformed into a modern light open venue yet kept the traditional fire place and modern pool table, many memories brought back. However the bar maid had no enthusiasm or customer service when we walked in, no welcome at all, rather a big sigh of effort that she had to do the job that she was paid to do. The menu was poor , but the chicken n bacon club sandwich looked appealing with added chips £1.50 , yet also advertised was a bucket of chips was £3.50 yet the same size as the add on chips that got served with our main sandwich .Very false advertising and very disappointing. The sandwiches that came out were so different 1 was presented beautifully , the Brie n bacon sandwich also with stale bread , yet the rest were just slapped onto the plate and cocktail sticks shoved part way into the club sandwich so they didn’t fall apart , the chips were cut in a great size but were undercooked. Very disappointing visit, food could have been so much better and an enthusiastic welcoming HAPPY bar member should be a necessity.

Bit cold 😮 but better than expected. Friendly people run this place 👍

It was closed and didn’t look like it was opening any time soon.

Lovely friendly pub, good beer and food.

Just popped in for a pint after a longish dog walk in the nearby woods. There was a bunch of locals chatting at the bar but the bar person quickly provided exactly what was required - and with a particularly good grace. As I remember there were a number of interesting cask ales on offer so I am sure I will be back to sample the full range. Nice also to take a look at the aviation-related photos and pictures on the walls. I love a proper airfield pub. Many thanks for the hospitality and a well-kept and well served pint.

Good food and drink.Friendly staff.

Came here for lunch with my friend. Very warm welcome with a lovely log fire in the bar. There was a fantastic selection of drinks and delicious home cooked food. Service was great! Will definitely visit again!

We had the MOST DELIGHTFUL fish and chips at this gorgeous pub. The chef made crispy fresh batter using beer from the bar and the chips were just perfect. We would all highly recommend this hidden gem.

Saturday evening a few weeks ago now but I still feel let down by a pub that used to be so good. The staff were very friendly but bar ordering only. Asked to pick up a menu from the bar before finding our own way to the table in a back room, Main course food good. Dessert was ice cream take it or leave it. The chef couldn't have made something else when they realized they had sold out at lunchtime? No coffee possible despite the impressive coffee menu on the wall behind the bar. We will not be returning.

Excellent and very welcoming pub with wide choice of beers.

Very poor menu choice, friendly bar staff. Absolutely no atmosphere. Food ok. Never even offered desserts. Shame as it used to be a good pub with good food.

Food was questionable whether or not it was cooked. Good beer tho 👍

A great little local, with a fantastic garden and play area for young ones

Lovely family meal, very welcoming and friendly.

Idea little pub for a drink after a driving experience on the airfield nearby.

Nice old world type pub nice coffee too

I took my daughter who has autism out for a meal as I’d heard good things about the pub!!! Well what a disappointment she was so looking forward to the bbq as she’s very funny with her food this would of been ideal, no McDonald offer better food, £7 for a kids size burger, small amount of chips and hardly any coleslaw. When I spoke to a member of staff and explained I was advised ‘Well we are busy’.. very slow service, no onions for burgers!!!The toilets were a disgrace, yes I know there was an event down the road but you still have a duty of care to YOUR customers.Shall not be returning!!!

Only food available were burger or sausage from a bbq, by the time my hot dog (loose description) was ready all friends had eaten expensive considering no coleslaw nor bread definitely would not return underlined after a visit to their toilet

Came to eat here as reviews were not to bad . Came to wings and wheels . Only so called good was a barbeque. Burger very small , tablespoon of cal slaw and 21 chips £7.00 . A joke .Terrible

Great service and fantastic food

We have eaten here on several occasions and the food is excellent Home cooked with love care and imagination which makes it far superior to many other local pubs. Staff warm and welcoming, great choice of beers

Nice country pub with great food

Simple, honest and tasty food. Very warm reception.

Friendly welcome, friendly service and friendly clientele. A welcoming local. Food is fresh and delectable. Well worth a visit.

A really pleasant little pub we just popped in for a quick drink on our way past. The staff seem super friendly. the pub does have a play area outside and has outside seating also. The pub serves hot food we did not have time to sample it. There were posters and signs up in the bar indicating that they also have live music on in the evenings sometimes. The front part seems to consist of two rooms. And the toilets where clean and well maintained.

We had been to drive the Optimus truck nearby at 'Car Chase Heroes' - my husband and I, our three adult sons, one daughter in law and two grandsons. One of the boys is allergic to dairy. We had a fabulous lunch - no difficulty with the allergy. The ale drinkers were impressed. All the meals were delicious, from halloumi burger to cajun tuna steaks .... Small but very well formed menu and children have the same menu but half size portions. Wonderful play area and such a cheerful and friendly landlord/chef. The lady who served us was also cheerful and eager to please. A hidden gem.

Beautiful pub with lots of outside seating

Nice cosy place to have a quiet friendly drink.

Pleasant enough . Menu standard stuff staff fine. An o.k pub during a mid week February lunch time. Might be better of an evening?

Excellenct food, but takes a while to arrive. Worth the wait though! Would be nice if it was a little warmer in the pub too.

Great pub. Friendly staff. Fantastic food.

I have wanted to visit for ages and I really can't fault this pub. When we booked I was told that they were starting a new menu, however on the day Phil, the manager called me to apologise as the new menu wasn't ready and read out the food on the menu today. This really impressed me and after meeting him & his staff, I can honestly say that the customer service we experienced was amazing. The beer is really well kept and you can have a taste before you buy. The food was really good and have to say that the chunky chips were the best we have ever had. We will definitely be back very soon.

The new owners have really turned our local around. The choice of drinks is great and the food is SO much better than before. The barman's knowledge of gins may be encouraging me down a path to ruin, but I'm sticking to my belief that a little bit of what you fancy does you good!

Great English traditional pub. Good food, parking easy, and friendly staff. Dogs allowed. Good place to base yourself for walking or viewing the Wey & Arun Canal. Next to Dunsfield airport.

I decided to visit the Three Compasses on the way back from a supercar experience at Dunsfold.

If you're in the area (near Dunsfold aerodrome), there isn't anywhere better for a bite to eat. Good food, lovely atmosphere and amazingly friendly staff.

Great fish finger sandwich and excellent pint of Timothy Taylor's

We were camping at the Dunsfold airshow and when the heavens opened we decided to head to the nearby pub for food in the dry. It was really busy but the guys cleared a table super fast for us. Food was great, really recommend the chilli. Great pub, staff and atmosphere. We will be back.

well I'm sat here now after waiting an hour for a burger and reheated chips .. I understand now why I'm the person that is eating!!

It's an OK pub. Not great but not bad either. Quite oldy worldy with a regular clientele.

Only had drinks and well you can't really stuff up a pint

Nice garden but the service was very slow and it wasn't even busy

Visited on a nice summer Saturday, nice beer garden with lots of space for kids to play. The pub has a quaint interior and some great aviation pictures which was up my street. Staff were very friendly and overall there was a nice atmosphere. We ordered some sausages sandwiches and bacon and brie sandwiches, both of which £6.50 each and a portion of fries for £3.50, we had high hopes following other reviews, but sadly really quite disappointed. The food took 40 minutes to arrive despite us being the first people to order for lunch. All the food was really quite badly presented, unusual for a country pub. The bread was swimming in margarine and the sausages were cheap value sausages not what I was expecting for £6.50. The portion of chips was small and I saw no difference between a full portion for £3.50 and a small portion for £1.00. It was a shame as otherwise we would have had a great visit.
