16/09/2018: I been there a few times and the food was good but passed few times I been there the service is terrible the old guy behind the bar was rude and swears at people the bill was wrong and they tried to say we go half on the amount even thou they got it wrong half of my food came out and the other half came back out 40 minutes after I wouldn’t recommend it to anyone. It’s over priced and robbing that’s all I can say

20/08/2018: We had friends stay over on Saturday and booked a table for a Saturday night two weeks in advance.

29/08/2018: Only popped in for a takeaway having been at the auction opposite. What a lovely cafe and charming guy working there. Left with massive smiles, delicious carrot cake and quiche, and the ability to say ‘thank you’ in BSL! We will definitely be back next time we are in the area!

27/08/2018: Really enjoyed our light lunch here today. Nice menu options. Lovely warm welcome. Delightful quiche and salad with a pot of tea and a slice of Madeira cake. Just perfect. Well worth a visit:

19/08/2018: We've visited this restaurant on many occasions and we always encounter the same disappointments. On arrival we received a lacklustre greeting with no warmth, no one offered to take our jackets, and we had to go to the bar ourselves to order a pre-lunch drink. Whilst eating, the waiter passed by and "whisked away" plates and glasses with not a word to us. Two saving graces, one, the chef did come to our table for a few words and the food on the whole was very good with reasonable portions. But the restaurant is badly let down by the staff's disinterest in it's customers.

18/08/2018: We had a nice lunch here, the food was good but the service was hit and miss !

29/08/2018: Visited for dinner with my boyfriend last week and was pleasantly surprised to be presented with both a main menu and a separate vegan menu when seated. Our waitress (Ella) was extremely courteous and very engaging when discussing food preferences and intolerances. A refreshing and personal service received and would definitely recommend. The only small criticism I have is displaying the summer specials (non vegan meals) on the bottom of the vegan menu... something to think about perhaps... Thank you and look forward to visiting again soon.

28/08/2018: Really enjoyed this pub with some friends and our children. They've got three converted sheds that make for a different dining experience and all within sight of the playground. Food was great too and the service excellent. Ella looked after us and played the role of waitress and doctor due my youngest falling over. We'll be back again for sure.

28/08/2018: The staff here are truly delightful. They went out of their way to make me feel comfortable and looked after when I arrived by myself after an incident that left me a little shocked and sore. Their cakes and smoothies are sublime! I will be back for sure!

27/08/2018: My husband and I have been coming here for years and love it. We being friends and family as well to experience the tasty brunch. Wide selection of food and you can ask for things to be adjusted to your needs/tastes as everything is cooked to order. Took my mum after recent dental surgery and she was so pleased with the attention and care she was given as she could not eat certain foods. Can honestly say that we have sampled everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. Everything is super yummy! The only disappointment is when people have got there before me and eaten my favourites! Have experienced afternoon tea here as part of a hen do; it was delicious and we were stuffed! Lastly, the service is excellent; Jeremy greets you like a friend and gives you such care and attention, you feel like his favourite visitor. My absolute favourite brunch and lunch place- even try to go on my birthday! Always puts a smile on my face.

22/08/2018: Good variety of meals/snacks etc reasonably priced and large portions. Very friendly staff, patient and polite. Enjoyed the food which is fresh and well prepared, good value for money and always busy which is a good sign of a place worth eating at.

08/08/2018: Went for lunch, but was disappointed that they had run out of pies, even though it was only just after noon. With a fairly limited lunch menu, this was a little surprising. What we had was good food, served with a smile and at a reasonable price.

16/08/2018: Called in here as it was a short walk from where we were staying.

15/08/2018: Bonne cuisine dans un cadre charmant (le nom n'est pas usurpé). Nous recommandons, en particulier, les desserts au chcolat.

26/08/2018: excellent lamb curry and rice, tasty ,spicy, not shabby by any means. I have eaten in the restaurant before and it was Just as good than.

26/08/2018: Second visit here and the food is descent. It's not the best I've had in the UK but it's up there. Service is always good and the dining area is lovely. The bar is fantastic and they have a good selection of everything; including Japanese whisky. One of the waiters tried to tell me that Nikka from the Barrel whisky wasn't Japanese in a very condescending manner but that's a minor point. I'll go back here in a heartbeat.

14/08/2018: This visit we choose the Sheep Shed for lunch as opposed to the Pub itself which is great.Well we weren’t disappointed had a really tasty lunch and great coffee.Smashed Advocado on Sourdough for me and a vert tasty looking Panini for my Husband.Both came with salad etc.The two Ladies serving us were so helpful and nice which wasn’t a surprise as we have always found that to be so.Do highly recommend is your in the area.Have promised ourselves a return visit for one of their Cream Teas.Thank you Botley

12/08/2018: This restaurant/pub is very nice and has stunning views of the surrounding hills which is really worth seeing, but unless you plan on booking a week in advance, you can guarantee that there is NEVER any space available to eat. On top of that the staff are not the most helpful around - once I was made to stand outside in the rain with a newborn baby because the place was too crowded and no one was available to help out. In short, nice location, decent food, but a bit too crowded and unwelcoming if planning a crash visit or a last minute visit.

06/08/2018: My wife and I wanted to celebrate our 50 years together with a few friends who were equally old, by reconstructing a menu from 1968. We thought The Bakery was probably the only restaurant locally we could trust to get it right. They agreed to have a go and worked out a menu with some old favourites. I am happy to say we and our guests all had a great evening. The food could not have been better and the staff looked after us very well. It was one of the best of our various mini-celebrations.

17/06/2018: Our second visit and unfortunately we just came away feeling the same as the first time that the staff and particularly the manager just weren’t interested! They barely spoke to us, didn’t really ask if everything was ok, one waiter didn’t seem to speak much English, we weren’t asked if we would like coffee etc etc.

04/08/2018: I have lunch solo or with friends 5 days a week for the last couple of months here. The food is more than excellent, served in a perfect manner. The best Bolognese, risotto with wild mushrooms and Sea Bream I found here. La Fiaba is my favourite restaurant and the only one so far were I am inviting friends and colleagues for a treat, as I am sure, here everything is perfect.

02/08/2018: Went on a Thursday evening with another couple and went for some tapas to share - the menu offers tapas dishes and typical Italian restaurant fare in a Mediterranean hybrid sort of way. The food came out and the portions were incredibly small - grilled halloumi for example at around £7 for just 3 thin slices, when there were 4 of us. So some awkward slicing took place. A very small patatas bravas for a similar price, 2 hand length chicken skewers for circa £8, and some other very average and overpriced dishes. Obviously this isn’t a tapas restaurant which we did bear in mind, however the size of each dish compared to the price and quality of what you would get at a tapas establishment was really quite surprising. Diet Coke served was flat. The one redeeming feature I guess was the food came out nice and hot and our server was very amiable. But I do feel as though we were overcharged and as such I wouldn’t return. A shame, and I hope they can either steer the ship towards either Italian or Spanish, and try to master one.

26/08/2018: I run a monthly luncheon club called the "WC" Warlingham Codgers and twenty of us travelled out to Oxted as this is the best Italian near us. If sunny they have a great outdoor patio set back from the road and if not the inside is spacious and full of life and atmosphere. The manager and his team are just great and the food is really good....one of the best Spagetti Alle Vongole I have tried.

25/08/2018: This is one if the worst restaurants we have been to. We had the calamari to start which is not fresh, they looked like frozen food from a packet. My partner had the tiger prawns as a main however they were king prawns! Again looks like from a frozen packet from the supermarket! I had the steak which tasted funny. The thick chips were burnt, looked and tasted like they had been reheated. We were offered afters and given the specials menu which they should of given to us at the start so we could see what they had for starters and main on the specials list! Poor customer service, poor and disappointing food and would not recommend.

22/08/2018: Decided to come to The Bell to start my 40th birthday with family and it was a perfect place to come as ages range from 16-92 and wanted somewhere quiet.

08/08/2018: One nameless and longserving barperson has had a highly successful personally bypass.

26/03/2018: Lovely little coffee shop. Great place to have lunch. Nice selection. Home made goodies... And very nice staff. Easy to spend more than you plan to....such lovely things to buy !

20/03/2018: We do like a little trip out to the Kent countryside and Oxted ticks a good few boxes

07/08/2018: Typical local pub. Warm and friendly. Selection of wines are better than many. Did not get the opportunity to try the food on this occasion.A dog friendly location.

12/07/2018: Pleasant place to visit, but very small and hot inside. Food is good, but would rate it as average. Garden needs some attention.
