This is one of my regular pubs and its a great proper locals boozer, probably the only decent pub in caterham, No food at the moment which is a bit of a shame, and gets really really busy on a Friday night.
Well worth a pint or two..

I've used this pub on and off for over 20 years. It always was the best pub in Caterham and still is. The Fullers beers are always in excellent nick and the staff and locals are friendly. It is your archetypal village boozer and if you can grab a table by one of the open fires in the Winter, even better.

No idea why I've managed to avoid the King and Queen for all these years: maybe the reputation of some of the other pubs round here hasn't helped, but finally found my way here this lunchtime while seeking refuge from the still dreadful Tudor Rose in Coulsdon. Anyway my eyes have been opened, it really is spot on, nothing else to add to the perfectly accurate comments below.

Although the public bar at the front is a bit narrow the people found around it are really nice folks. If you don't like being that sociable there is plenty of seating in the back rooms. The beer (London Pride and the rest of the Fullers catalogue) is usually well kept and on those rare occasions of poor quality there is no hesitation in correcting the problem. Friendly bar staff and managers just put the icing on the cake and make drinking there a real pleasure.

All previous comments regarding the friendly staff and pleasant atmosphere are spot on. The pub is used by a real cross-section of punters, and is none the worse for that. The London Pride was in good condition, and even though the four separate bar areas are quite small, there was loads of space to spread out. Historically interesting, good beer, friendly staff and customers, a perfect local for those who appreciate such things.

Consistently one of the best pubs in Caterham-on-the-Hill. Very friendly staff and always a pleasant atmosphere, whichever part of the pub you choose to plonk yourself down.
As a previous contributor noted - the less desirable elements that inhabit this town (sadly there are many!) avoid the King & Queen, which makes it one of only two pubs regularly worth visiting on the "Hill" - (the other being the Clifton).
All the Fullers ales (usually 4) are extremely well kept. A well run pub.

This is a Fuller's pub, 'tis a village local and one can ask no more than that. Considering what else is in a short drive or a walk away, this is a good village boozer.

Nice but dull pub. Beer OK - wuold help if the pipes were kept a bit cleaner.

A very cosy four roomed pub selling excellent Fuller's beers. Very friendly staff which makes a visit worthwhile.If you go by train beware of the very steep hill from the station. If you do climb it you will really be ready for a drink.

A real old fashioned pub. Good pint of Fullers. Boring but reliable.
The local yobs and chavs frequent the Blacksmiths opposite.
|
Nice pub serving a decent pint of London Pride. I liked the small front bar, only downside was a group of rather annoying middleaged regulars clogging up the area around the doorway and bar but hopefully they aren't always there! I meant to have a look around the corner in the other bar which seemed a bit posher but forgot.

Small Fullers' pub. Pleasant inside and served fine ales.
|
The service was very friendly, excellent beer and good food.

A great pub serving great food specialising in 'sizzling dishes'. Also has a dart board with league games 2 nights a week (Mon(Men)& Tue(ladies)). Plus always someone around most days for a game or two.
