Fairly compact lounge bar with a separate dining area. Had Youngs Ordinary and Black Sheep Bitter which was ok. Unremarkable but nothing bad about it.

Well I think its OK. Looks better outside than in, too much space taken up with very expensive food - seven quid for a sandwich is a bit much even around here - but the refurbishment brigade have been low key so far. Badger related beers in good condition. There are lots of nice pubs to choose from around here, in some areas this would be a honeypot, just here I'm afraid not the best.

It does indeed make a welcome change, whith the kind of scruffyness that disappeared from most pubs round here years ago. Beer is fine and the food looks OK, though a bit dear considering the surroundings. However you can tell the sort of area it is when even here they can get away with advertising Christmas Dinner for £35 a head

The beer and food were both excellent on a Sunday lunchtime, the place was not busy and the service was prompt.

Fails to take advantage of good location, "friendly welcome" evidently on day off. Last decorated - pre-decimalisation era? - in Northern working mens club style, this is the sort of pub that makes you wonder just why you bothered to step inside - and then you remember that most Surrey pubs are rubbish, over-priced or more generally, both - so you may as well stay put. Suggest you eat and drink before you go or better still, don't.

True to say that the pub would benefit a makeover but you can be sure of a friendly welcome by the bar staff.
Wooly - presumably 'the barking dog' is inoffensive and fits in with the surroundings. Beers OK - serve Adnams, which will do for me. Show Sky football but 'buckmilligan' please have some respect - this is a 'Chelsea' pub.

Dorking Drinker is not wrong when he says that the interior is poor. However, the atmosphere is good (it certainly was on the night Liverpool won the Champions' League), the bar staff are friendly and the beer is more than acceptable.

This should be a great pub, it dates back to 16th Century and is located in a great spot. However, the interior was poor and it looks like they are in the middle of decorating. A loud barking dog and no real atmosphere. On the plus side the beer was good and the Landlady friendly. We would not go there again though.
