07/01/2019: A friend chose this restaurant having been before and close proximity to his home. The food was ok, from the a la carte menu 5 of us as we had a selection of starters, fillet steak, Dover sole, etc just soft drinks and the bill was £250. Service and ambiance were nice enough but for that money I'd have expected more. Tapas looked good and seemed popular.

13/12/2018: Came here for my nieces birthday and everything was bland in taste no flavours to anything. I wasnt the o ly who thought that wither as we was around a table.of 30. The tapas in purley was definitely better.

13/12/2018: Fantastic place food wonderful staff marvellous atmosphere superb. Have been various times over the last couple of years always a pleasure. Having afternoon tea for my birthday next week i cant wait.

22/11/2018: My two sisters and I along with my Mum, took our aunt for her 70th birthday present. With out doubt one of the best afternoon teas I’ve ever had! Small soup to start with, endless sandwiches, quiche, scones, cakes, meringues etc! Delicious and great service too!

18/12/2018: I think it is only fair that having written a review when we had a not so great visit that I write An update following our last trip here.

18/12/2018: Despite the restaurant being very busy and having to serve 17 of us, our waitress Ella was excellent. The food was good too, with a great choice of vegan and veggie options

30/11/2018: Lovely range of lunchtime sandwiches, toasties, baguettes and ciabattas at straightforward price. Excellent coffee - and no rush mentality

10/09/2018: Visit Cafe Bambino very regularly. Very friendly owner, food always lovely, very good coffee, attracts lovely customers. Perfect place for lunch or even a coffee in passing / whilst shopping or just an after school snack with children :)

15/12/2018: Yesterday night we had a dinner in cucina restaurant in oxted. I'm very glad to say that Italian people make the difference even here, Fabio a young waiter in this restaurant made our experience amazing, with nice suggestion on the food and wine, and a nice service as well.

15/12/2018: Visited here for dinner and was surprisingly disappointed. Starters were fairly nice, but had a salmon dish for main which was dry and quite tasteless unfortunately. The staff were very friendly and attentive which was nice. Would return but maybe not for the salmon!

04/01/2019: We normally visit the white bear....but thought we would try something similar.

04/01/2019: Until yesterday I have never tried to eat an old boot. We had four pieces of (so called)

17/12/2018: We had a really comfortable experience and the meal was excellent and we shall certainly return .some nights require booking well in advance because of popularity

12/12/2018: Great dishes and cocktails! The atmosphere is very relaxed and the staff very friendly. Great for birthdays and large groups.

16/12/2018: I’ve been to royal tandoori a number of times and it has never failed to impress me. It’s a place to go solo, with friends and family. I can never fault the excellent service, comfortable atmosphere and the mouth-watering food. The thali in particular was amazing as it had a selection of exquisite curries to choose from. It really is the future of tradition, and I would highly recommend!

15/10/2018: On the outside, you think it’s just an Indian takeaway. When you open the door, the restaurant is quite big. The wine (Australian rose) was lovely. The food was amazing.. was great to have somewhere that good and just down the road!

17/12/2018: I don't normally write reviews, but this was worth me spending 10 minutes trying to remember my login name & password. 7 of us for a set Christmas menu on Saturday 15th December 2018, bartender and the table waiter were both chatty and amusing. Atmosphere in the restaurant was homely, but special. Beautifully and tastefully decorated for Christmas. The food was excellent and very reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend The Old House Inn and will be returning soon

15/12/2018: We were looking for a place to have lunch before we went to Gatwick Airport, for an early evening flight. Having read previous reviews on TA we chose the Old House Inn. So glad we did!

11/12/2018: I love this place because they always find us a table, the food is freshly cooked and the staff welcoming. It’s just a really pleasant place to spend a few hours.

04/11/2018: Great little gem in Whyteleafe. Fantastic friendly staff, nothing is too much trouble. Delicious paella and very generous portions.

16/12/2018: Visited for my daughters birthday.Varied menu, large portions . Great food. Would recommend the tnt chicken wings.

15/12/2018: My kids brought me here with my grandson the staff were absolutely amazing and so polite the place was clean and the food was amazing as well it was a wonderful birthday meal thankyou x

30/12/2018: Love Chez Vous. Great food and amazing quality. Lool out for the great bogof weekday deal, its too good to miss. The service is exceptional too.

17/12/2018: A lunch for my fathers birthday a couple fo weekends ago, and venue chosen by my sister who eats here often. It was busy with perhaps 3 or 4 large group bookings so understand how that complicates things. Our table was 8. The menu was good, and wide spread across a number of courses. The wine list was also good. Manager was good and personable. The serving staff perhaps a little inexperienced. When the pudding course was being ordered, I suggested that the person taking the order start with someone else: I was told that there was a specific order so they knew who was getting what food. I laughed out loud because we had had 3 courses of getting the wrong food provided to the wrong person.

13/12/2018: I only buy their multi-seed bread because it is such good value and taste. All their other items look great. It also keeps well. Staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful and the area is very clean.. Friends enjoy a coffee and snack outside in the summer.

14/10/2018: Always very pleasant sitting in or outdoors having a sausage or bacon sarnies here with a coffee. Always very pleasant and efficient staff. Best out of all of the Coughlan's in the area

13/10/2018: We came for dinner on Friday night. I was surprised how big the Bakery is inside, it is light and airy with a clean, modern feel. The welcome was lovely and we walked through the busy bar into the main restaurant which is spacious and very well presented. The waiting staff were charming and our drinks came almost immediately. There is a good choice of food on the menu ranging from sea bass, local lamb, steaks from the grill etc. I had the chicken liver parfait to start which came with a home made chutney, it was delicious. For mains I had a ribeye steak which was perfectly medium rare as requested and the quality of the meat was excellent. I rarely eat dessert but decided to go for the whole experience and finished up with a delicious warm chocolate brownie with honeycomb ice cream on top. Dont think i'm going to be eating much today ! It was a lovely evening and I'm looking forward to our next visit. The Bakery definitely falls into the 'hidden gem' category and is well worth a journey to experience it.

03/10/2018: We stayed at the Bakery overnight and had a meal with family who live in Surrey. The room was comfortable with lovely soft twin beds and a well appointed shower room. However the welcome was exceptional and the breakfast of smoked haddock and poached eggs was freshly cooked to order and scrumptious. The evening meal was made with excellent ingredients but the the three way cooked chips were a disappointment. However the team were highly responsive in providing kids meals despite a busy Saturday night service. I understand there was a stand-in chef for the night which resulted in being below par. Such a shame as this would easily be a 10 out of 10. Definitely would stay again.
