Had birthday celebration meal here with a party of more than 20. The staff were friendly and weren’t phased by an extra person turning up at the last moment. Food was great, and though not cheap was a reasonable price considering the quality. Beer was also very enjoyable – I’d recommend Shere Drop or T.E.A. in particular. And Peaslake also deserves a mention for being an appealing little village in the midst of the Surrey hills, from which you can do an excellent circular walk through Hurt Wood to Pitch Hill and back in about an hour and a half.

A good pub. Good food, good beer selection. Pretty friendly for a Surrey pub (possibly the least friendly county in England).

We stayed here on our way home from Dorset. Large well appointed room attatched to the main building with a back door to let the dog out of! Service and staff were excellent. The food and wine were also very acceptable. The boiled eggs were underdone but otherwise the breakfast was good.
The village is so typically English, lovely!

Been going for around 3 years and not been disappointed yet - had our wedding reception there and they attended to everything perfectly and the room looked fantastic.
Food has always been amazing and everyone who works there is friendly.
Wireless internet (I asked at reception for the key and they did not charge) was also a great help.

First impressions on entering on a late Friday afternoon before Christmas was that the few tables that were in the bar area were badly laid out, there were children running about (baa-humbug), the jukebox was too loud (baa-humbug) and there were the usual fruit-the-loop locals at the bar.
But as there was a nice fire and the place was clean we persevered.
There were 3 attentive bar staff on duty who served us wonderful Shere Drop and great ham, egg and chips. And they turned the jukebox down.
We intend to return and try the restaurant.

After a tiring 7-hour flight from North America I found this out-of-the-way gem and we were not disappointed! . . . They had a great variety of beers and the barman was friendly as well as all the staff . . . We had a supper like we'd never seen before, only in the movies . . . It was spectacular and each dish was a creation like a work-of-art a painting almost! . . . If we visit again we will definitely return here . . .

If you make the effort to find it, you will not only be pleased with yourself but rewarded with a level of quality that made the map reading worth while! Over the last 30 ++ years I, and many friends have stopped here on an add hoc basis countless times - never disappointed.

This is a cracking pub. Thanks to the previous comments we were not expecting fast service, however, when the food arrived it was lovely and well presented (tasted as good as it looked too!). This was complemented by a well kept range of four real ales Mmmm!
We (a party of 7 - including my 16 year old son) had been tramping round the Downs on a cold day and they were not phased by our request to sit in the bar for the 10 minutes until it opened. Highly recomend this pub - just program it into your sat-nav or take a good map! It can be a little tricky to find otherwise (despite being signposted from the A25).

We went to this pub on a Sunday. We'd be tramping around the North Downs and targetted it for lunch. Despite being a bit muddy, we were allowed to sit in a very nice part of the bar and had a very nice meal indeed. The roast lan[mb shank was delicious. I think some might want the service to be a bit speedier, but we were in no rush, so weren't bothered. Nice puds too. STP is always the ultimate test of a good pub and it came up to scratch.
