Nice Guinness. Nice people. Lovely open fire. Thank you :-)

This pub is a gem. The beer is first class and the locals very kind indeed. I didn't try the food but it looked good and was cheap compared to nearby competitors - they even had pre-prepared rolls available from the bar (we all remember that, don't we, until 'Elf & Safety took over). I will certainly be going back.

All in all a rustic gem,beer good food same and they don`t eat there young,worth a visit.7/10

I would suggest username billblue (24 July) has written a very accurate review below. Recent postings are pure nonsense. No neil10 I don't have a vested interest in any pub and never have. I do however have a strong dislike for those who write pure offensive rubbish about communities of decent people they have little knowledge of. ps, the pub has a novel smokers area with an original idea for heating !!

i agree everyone has their own opinions, so maybe neil10 should not be so quick to judge
|
biker needs to be more open minded and appreciate everyones comments. the other pubs in the village are very good. i have been drinking around this country for many years and have a pretty good idea when it comes to pubs. it is a shame he feels it so important he sticks up for one pub so earnestly, could it be he has a vested interest in this particular venue? be the judge for yourself and try this pub.....then we'll see who is being honest.

I notice the previous strange review was written by someone who joined this site on the 2 Nov and has only commented on this pub ! Is it just possible said individual is a disgruntled customer or competitor ? Visitors, click on usernames and you will see where others have been and what they've said about other pubs. This pub and the Crown are actually very good country pubs irrespective of what idiots like the previous reviewer say.

this should be in the wild west. don't go here unless you bring security....the locals don't look friendly.
|
The pub fell silent as I opened the door and we walked to the bar to the sound of our footsteps. However, the service was polite enough and the food quite good. Not very welcoming though
|
With 6 companions I visited this pub today for lunch after a 6 mile morning stroll. The service was friendly and helpful and other customers were happy, cheerful and civilised. The food was very good value, wholesome and welcome for hungry strollers. The puddings were excellent. My bread and butter pudding was delicious. We shall return to this pub.

Well worth the journey to have a very good beer and lunch at very good value.
Great selection of beers and lagers.
Actually sat inside as it was too hot (for us ) in the SUN outside. Great friendly pub atmosphere without having tables ( in the bar area ) too close together.
There is a more formal dining area plus areas to sit at both front and back.
Will certainly be returning.

really nice for a pub lunch and a friendly pint.
|
The Captain run`s a very good bozzer worth a visit beer well kept and food good.

Redecorated tastefully to a high standard and not buggered-up as most pubs manage to achieve in this day and age, better than ever - nice pint of 'fortyniner' Food, ordinary high quality, locally produced food that is actually cooked on the premises goes into a superb menu at very reasonable prices.
Tourists, well worth looking at the local history, the Wey & Arun Canal influenced the name of the pub in the 1700's and the (very) nearby airfield was the original test ground for the Harrier Jump Jet. You will almost certainly need a map or some very accurate directions. 9/10

Called in here for lunch with my wife on 28 April, don't be misled by the pubs decoratively challenged appearance, once inside you will not be sorry. They have a first class selection of ales, wines etc. but they also have a lunchtime menu that outstrips many London pubs and...it's cooked fresh on the premises. As an example, we had two beef sandwiches (home cooked) with a first class salad, two drinks and were charged £9.80. Will someone on this website please tell me where that can be equalled? It was also noticeable when we entered the pub, we were greeted with a hello by two locals-nice touch and civilised.

Nice pub. Ales are well kept and has a nice country pub atmosphere about it. Haven't tried the food, so can't comment but don't expect anything more than pub grub!
Interestingly, this pub is located right on the outskirts of Dunsold Park which is where Top Gear is filmed - you never know, you might spot Clarkson and his cronies in The Three Compasses having a sly one before heading off on one of their farcical "races" across Europe!
