Ye Olde Windsor Castle in Mole Valley

Lovely big pub, varied menu (including non-gluten menu) and dining experiences, plentiful outdoor space and excellent staff. The manager is excellent and our server Nathan was very attentive, polite and could not have done more to ensure our visit was enjoyable throughout.

Very laid back, pleasant pub that served great pub classics. We were well looked after by Nathan. We thoroughly enjoyed the slow-roast rib of beef and lamb shank’s Shepard’s pie.

It’s been a long time since my daughter and I have had lunch at The Windsor Castle as the last visit food was quite poor.! Well I’m pleased to say we thought we’d give it another try ! Nice food today ! warm welcoming and pleasant atmosphere.! We’ll call in again soon.!

We had 3 roasts for Sunday lunch. Polite and friendly staff , so the 1 star is not for them , it’s for the 30 minutes it took for the food to arrive. The yorkshires were way overdone, the turkey breast was lukewarm, the diced carrots were watery and without flavour , the roast spuds were anaemic. The roast pork and beef were ok. Clearly the kitchen has serious timing issues, or maybe we just got unlucky

Great food and lovely service from Ben today. All the staff are really friendly and the pub was nice and warm. Great coffee too.

Delightful pub with very welcoming staff serving delicious food. Very welcoming of our large dog too. Thumbs and paws up!

Weekday late lunch. Walk in. Attentive service. Good quality and tasty food. Value for money. What more can you ask for!

Just great Food amazing ,and the servers and bar staff very entertaining, going back.

A very enjoyable evening meal with family (table for 4) at Ye Olde Windsor Castle. We were made to feel very welcome on arrival and were shown to our table swiftly. We had 3 courses and drinks. The food was delicious and arrived hot and very nicely presented. Thank you to the Chef, (apologies I have forgotten your name). The waiting staff are very pleasant and go the extra mile to make the evening relaxing and special. Very attentive and always allowing you to take your time. Special shout out to Nathan and Barry. Thank you

Good service. Lovely food. Great beer and wine. Staff friendly and attentive. Would recommend.

Great breakfast after morning walk with friends

We had the Burns night menu. My venison haunch was overcooked and dry, and the cranachan lacked even a hint of whiskey. My wife's Hake was overcooked and dry, and was sceptical as she had sea bass previously, which was overcooked and dry. Her starter of a due of vegetables(?) lacked flavour, apart from the overwhelming beetroot. You staff were good , but your chef is most questionable.

They had a special Burns night menu tonight. Haggis and venison were excellent!

Really friendly staff, good food - tasty and good portions Extra special as our breakfast was free as we came on an All Trails walking offer

Top place to go for good food nicely presented,service from all staff that we had outstanding. Celebrated my uncles 67th birthday and chose this place to go to for the meal. All I can say was, what a good choice I did. From the start of the evening till we left after 3 course meals for some of us. My uncle enjoyed so much that he stated to the staff that he would be coming again when he is back down again. Chef and brewer should be proud of this establishment to be part of them. That's why my rating is as it is.

Chef Tom working wonders between the festive & New Years period. Personal fav dish was the crispy chicken burger & chunky chips. Also hats off to Lauren, Kyle, Mel, Nathan & Fred for fab bar service as always 👏🏼

As always, we can't fault the staff, atmosphere or quality of beer! Such a great place to catch up with friends. Thank you to Steve for being a great host

Amazing staff , very helpful and knowledgeable, always feel welcome. Food is great and the specials board is always one to look out for. It would be even better if it had a refurbishment!!

Im a moderately regular visitor. They are not covering themselves in glory. The only place I've ever known to overcook food to the point it's blackened (two separate occasions), serve it anyway and then one-time blame it on that item having being bought-in. Tonights annoyance is a table for 9 gumming up the kitchen for over an hour and a half - so no dinner here for me tonight. Last week they weren't serving food at all. I've popped in previously with the family for a drink to be told they need the table in an hour (fair enough) and then get reminded more than once they need it in a "come-on, come-on, get on with it" kinda way. So if you can cope with a less than warm welcome, a bit of a lottery on the food, and beer at nearly seven quid a pint - this is the place for you

A great spot in Bookham for a bite to eat at an affordable price

We had a lovely pre Christmas Sunday roast dinner, which was delicious with plenty of meat, vegetables and gravy. The staff were excellent.

Nice table near the cosy open fire. All the food was great. But the standout bit was the service - exceptional. We had a lovely family meal. Thank you to Barry and the team.

Our go-to Sunday lunch venue in Bookham

Absolutely Perfect lovely menu ,Great Staff and great Service and Atmosphere ,very warm,friendly not too busy Lovely open Fire for the cold winters Days

Great that you hosted the Little Bookham Street switch on.

We had a really enjoyable lunch here for a group of nearly 20. Barry and his team were incredibly helpful and the food was plentiful and of a good standard. Keep up the good work!

Good food served with excellent service sitting by a log fire. What could be better?

Mistake. I gave top rating. Sorry about. that.

Just returned having had a good quality and very enjoyable meal with great service Haven't been for years but will definitely return. Manager so welcoming and served by Lauren who was so nice (& efficient!) too. It was very quiet but it was a Monday night and it didn’t bother us.

Lovely restaurant, amazing staff, very friendly, welcoming and helpful. The food was also amazing and very good value. Special thanks to Nathan and Freddie who waited on us brilliantly. We will definitely be returning when next in the area. Highly recommend.

Good food, reasonably priced and bright beer.

Lovely Sunday lunch, service excellent, food very plentyful and delicious. Served and looked after by Nathan, excellent service made us feel extremely welcome. We'll be back very soon!!

The food was fine but the best thing was the staff. Everyone we came into contact with were kind, patient and doing their utmost to keep everyone happy and enjoying the whole experience. We came with two elderly ladies whom they treated with respect and care. Thank you.

Great food, and Nathan the waiter was polite and useful without being overly interfering....:)

Actually pretty good Green King pub. Steak pie better than the smothered chicken which as a thin and bit light on chips. See pic. But very friendly staff

Wonderful welcome from Barry and Connors Thank foe the food x

Connor was an excellent server and Barry was very welcoming Would recommend this pub

Very good,friendly and efficient service from Connor. Food good, shame some items on the menu were unavailable. Chef James produced an excellent veggie tart and we enjoyed the toad in the hole (unusual on menus these days).

Had Sunday lunch with my partner, me roast and she Sea Bass. The fish and accompaniments were apparently good. My roast OK, pork a bit of a small portion, very small piece of cracking (not off a joint but backfat crackling made separately and not flavoursome) and a bit of a disappointing 4 small roasties. Was only eating functionally so not worth raising at the time with staff who were all pleasant. We eat frequently in this chain and probably this was in keeping with our previous meals in Chef & Brewer. It did seem that they had a lot of bookings arriving as we were eating and I do think portions appear to have been calculated to ensure all bookings could be covered. Also seemed from surrounding tables many items were off the menu.

We've been for food and drink on many occasions. The staff including the manager are always extremely accommodating. We often come in fairly large groups and/or with young children and we always made to feel welcome. Food and ales also pretty decent

Great food. Many laughs with Barry. Great service from Connor!

Fabulous place to dine and drink, great atmosphere and the manager so attentive and passionate about delivering the best service to the customers, highly recommended.

Awesome menu, phenomenal service, cracking food. Genuinely great - thanks for a lovely evening.

Lovely place, great staff, good food. Took good care with the Gluten Free options. 3rd visit there and will be going back for a 4th! Thank you to Barry and staff, from the 3 members of the long lost family gang 😀.

Lovely food and exceptional, friendly service. Music was not too loud and not too busy, so staff had time to engage.

Great meal, though late to our table; and roast beef and cauliflower cheese were off the menu

Lovely Meal. Nate was really friendly, attentive and helpful.

Love the Pork Belly Bites! Thank you Barry amd Connor!

Me and a friend had lunch in here this week. And we are pretty regular customers. On this occasion the food was very good 👍 and Barry, the manager is good Craic. Ps the garden is looking beautiful

Staff were really friendly but the Sunday roast was nothing to write home about. The fact that they used frozen roast potatoes from a packet tells you it wasn't up to much, especially for the price. The Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert, however, was to die for!!!

Excellent service, nice quiet place, just a shame that not everything was available even though we were there at 2:30, but what was on was good, my only gripe is the leeks that came with my pork were inedible, but the bubble and squeak was delicious

Pub food like we like it (thanks Chef) + great service (thanks Nate)!

Very friendly staff but the service was painfully slow considering it wasn't that busy. Sunday roast came with heated up frozen roast potatoes and there wasn't much, quantity wise, considering the price. The Sticky Toffee Pudding for dessert was to die for. We'll try it again.

My Wife and I went for breakfast with our 12 week old daughter. The manager, Barry, couldn’t have been more accommodating and we received a very warm welcome. The coffee was superb and the food delicious. Highly recommend for a relaxed atmosphere. We will be coming back!

Excellent Sunday Lunch. The portions were huge and exceptionally good value. The turkey absolutely melted in the mouth. Efficient and friendly service. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Good pub but can be hit and miss on food and service

You can't go wrong with pub grub. Good food and service. Would be better if there was live music, maybe a Friday or Saturday night.

Enjoyable evening at Windsor. Good table position as we had to bring dogs with us. Service very good, staff friendly and helpful. Meal was good, chicken pies were much enjoyed. Three vegetarian choices. Air conditioning could have been turned down a bit but otherwise a good evening

A good all round experience. Excellent friendly and helpful service. one of us had pork and the other the sea bass which came with broccoli which I do not eat. Was offered an alternative vegetable. A nice quite atmosphere. Plenty of parking

Lovely staff and service - they were great. However the steak sandwich I ordered was overcooked and a bit chewy, and the salad never arrived because the kitchen was missing ingredients, but we were only informed when everyone else got their food. Overall was a nice place, I would visit again but probably just for drinks

Loved my time there! Steve, Kyle & Mel were absolutely marvellous and the chefs make some cracking food! Will deffo be recommending it to my friends!

Steve and the team are absolutely amazing! Couldn't ask for friendlier staff! Made my visit there an absolute blast, I'll definitely be back! Food is banging too!

Arrived at 14:00. Staff very unfriendly and unhelpful. Was told needed to check if the kitchen was still open and whether they had resources at 14:00 on a Sunday afternoon! Pub was half empty. Asked to speak to the Manager and was a big issue trying to speak to the Manager. We have been going for over 20 years. But never again! Has definitely gone downhill!!

We stopped for a midweek lunch and the pub was quiet as you'd expect so I could only mark it 4 stars for atmosphere. I'm sure at the weekend it is pretty lively. The menu is good and varied and the food was very tasty! The staff were great, so polite and attentive, probably the best servers we've come across in a very long time 🏅

Some of the best food I have ever had the are server Freddie is the best

From the outside you might not expect much, but tonight I have enjoyed some delicious food with great company and experienced very attentive service. The team here knew when to check in, and when to let three cackling women have space to chat and enjoy our meal. This is my third visit I will definitely be back again. Thank you to Steve, Nate and the rest of the team for facilitating a lovely evening.

Great to see the new team members progressing well. Well done to Nathan for your ever positive service.

Lunchtime treat, was amazing customer service, Nathan was so helpful, especially with my questions about my food due to dairy intolerance. Amazing food thanks to Terry (head chef) Will be back!!

We googled this place near our hotel ... The staff are fantastic, A lesson in how British pub hospitality should be done Food was good , but the service was excellent

A lovely pub in Little Bookham. Great service and good food. Good selection of drinks including non alcoholic beers.

We had Sunday lunch at the pub yesterday. The service was good with friendly staff but the food was dreadful. The carrot and broccoli was dry the potatoes were very dry as if the had been under a heating lamp for hours. We did mention those and got a bowl of French fries to replace them, they were the freshest hottest thing we had. The Yorkshires were more like bread. The River beef was ok but wouldn't go again the mushroom wellington was disappointing as well.

I really like this pub, the service is always excellent and the staff are very friendly. The atmosphere inside is lovely and cosy, I went here today for breakfast and it was very nice. The food is always excellent whatever time of day you're eating. They offer a wide variety of menu options and cater for all dietary requirements. They are also dog friendly and as they are close to some lively areas to walk in you can pop in for a nice break and some refreshments. Would highly recommend this pub.

Great local pub, quiet area, great food, friendly staff, nice decor. What else do you need?

One order was received incorrectly. The food needed to be hotter

Stopped in for a family meal, on a Saturday lunch time at 1o’clock without booking. Luckily they had a table but I would advise to book as we almost missed out on getting a table. The service was very very good. The service was friendly, helpful and attentive. I had 2 children under the age of 6 with me which is reflected in the spend per person figure.

Regular haunt for a lunchtime drink and food. Friendly with a good choice of food and seating. Plenty of space outside now weather is getting better

Food was really disappointing and very average. Service was pleasant however won't be returning based on this visit.

Great boozer ,friendly staff,excellent beers and ales. Didn't have food. Out on our bikes and popped in. We'll worth a visit. Lovely garden out back too.

Love the food and service, and the vibe of this pub. We will prevail on working our way through the entire menu … just stop tempting us with the specials 😂

Sadly slipping standards at formerly good Chef and Brewer. Many menu items unavailable as said to be sold out - at 7.30pm on a Saturday evening! Frozen chips were still partly frozen, battered fish soggy. Will not be returning.

Had a great meal at ye olde Windsor castle. Staff were extremely patient with excitable children and accommodating with food choices

Lovely little pub, fantastic food, good service, me and the wife had their burgers. I had their signature burger, and it was one of the best burgers I have had in a long while. The wife had cheese and bacon burger and she also loved it. The kids they were boring and had pizza chips and beans but they eat the lot.

We chose Ye Olde Windsor Castle for our small wedding reception. Barry was very helpful, enthusiastic and thorough in helping us plan the menu and how we wanted the room set up. There were plenty of options of hot and cold dishes and thanks to Terry the chef and his team the food was delicious and nicely presented. The amazing staff were always on hand to make sure we had all we needed. We want to say a big thank to such a professional friendly team. Highly recommended.

This place gets the job done for a good feed and is great for families. Staff were super friendly and attentive. The food hits the spot and falls firmly in the bracket of gastro pub grub. The venue still retains the chain vibe a bit which is a shame and probably wouldn't recommend for just drinks given the focus on food service. All in all a solid shout if visiting with friends and much improved since my previous visit.

Lovely traditional pub. Food was decent and the service absolutely exceptional. Will be back.

Averagely good food, warm atmosphere. Rear garden for a sunny day. Gets busy so book particularly if you are a larg3 group. Good Guinness

Lovely dining experience, the staff were very kind and polite, food portion size and quality was fantastic! Would definitely visit again when im next in Surrey ❤️

Kyle and nate were brilliant. Food was very good. Service was great. Good evening was had, great Ale!! Many thanks 😊

We tried out a new pub for our dinner and wasn’t disappointed, the food & service was lovely, even our fussy 12 & 14 year olds cleaned their plates, will definitely be coming back

Very attentive staff , friendly warm atmosphere with wholesome good pub food , excellent Sauvignon blanc wine !we were made to feel very welcome in this lovely local British pub

Sadly 2nd Sunday roast visit and been disappointed on both occasions. After having a bad beef rib on the first visit I opted for sirloin which was chewy & I tried to struggle through and decided to moan when I couldn’t even cut the 2nd fatty slice. Bad beef was removed from my plate and was told sadly that sometimes there’s a bad cut and was eagerly awaiting a good cut which never materialised.

Came in with quite low expectations for a late lunch and could not have been more pleasantly surprised! The staff were friendly & helpful, we were served by Kyle & Barry; and the food was lovely, thank you for recommending the Sticky Toffee Cheesecake by Chef Tom.

Have visited this pub many times over the last 30yrs but not much recently because service and food were not as good as they had been; however, today was a very pleasant surprise. It seems much improved and definitely on the up. Great friendly service, good atmosphere and lovely food. Thank you.

Visited last Saturday lunch time. Greeted by lovely staff who were helpful and kind throughout our meal. The food varied in quality...delicious salmon and gammon. Tasty steak and ale pie but far too much thick pastry. My seabass and risotto was disappointing. I should have brought it to the attention of the waiters earlier rather than ploughing on and eating it. It was lukewarm, the rice was undercooked; crunchy rather than creamy. The scallops were dry and rubbery. I was given a glass of wine to compensate. My elderly relative requested one scoop of sorbet for dessert but was brought sorbet plus 3 huge scoops of unwanted ice cream. She was told 'that is how it comes!' The ice cream was consequently wasted unnecessarily. How inflexible! Despite the positives, we will think twice before visiting again.

Friendly staff, tasty food with good size portions. Will go again.

Visited on one of the busiest days of the year - Mothers' Day. Welcome very good and the menu for the day had excellent choices. Good draft beer to begin and for my wife they provided hot water with lemon. The three course meal provided choices common to many British pubs and restaurants, but it was clear that homemade was a feature here. All the food was served well, with warm plates or bowls as required. The roast meals had a good variety of vegetables alongside the meat and extras such as horseradish readily provided. The sundae for dessert was excellent and the waiter made sure my wife's dessert was heated to just the right temperature, Throughout there was good attention to detail and providing the food in a way that suited un individually. Special thanks to Freddie and Nathan for excellent service. Will look forward to a return visit.

I cannot praise barry, steve and all the staff at the windsor castle enough. Food is always wonderful and the real ale is kept to perfection. Having been a regular for over 30 years this is the best team that we have had and i hope they continue for many more years.

Always a pleasure visiting The staff and management are always friendly. See you soon

Great food and service. Barry and team always make us feel welcome and at home. Thanks to Steve, Mel, Victor… and chefs Always a pleasure to visit our local The Windsor

Great food and very friendly staff perfect
