Third name in about six months! And, there's talk of a fourth - after the Olympic Games which will stage a major cycling event on nearby Boxhill. Olympic Arms?

This Pub has been recently well refurbished its now called THE TREE (think you should change this) The food is brilliant I have been there a few times now the roasts are delicious and huge. Service is excellent, staff are very friendly and helpful. I Particularly like the Beer garden :). They have a website its www.thetreeboxhill.co.uk take a look

No, beerlager is right. This pub is now called The Box Tree (I checked on its website). The box tree grows on Boxhill, very near where this pub is located. Now a fine pub, by any standards; please change to correct name.

Completely refurbed and now renamed as the "Box tree inn". Bright airy place with wooden or stone floors. Big garden. Brakespears, Doombar, Spitfire & Black horse on pump. Tried all but the Brakespears and they were fine. Menu promised a lot but delivered rather less, food was bland and disappointing. Sandwiches were by far the best option. Service was painfully slow for a couple of people.

Now called The Box Tree, after a major refurb. Might be the best pub in East Surrey - everything excellent; food, beer and service. Olympic cycle racing nearby, next year. 10/10

Avoid this place like the plague if you value good service and good food.

MY fav pub in surrey - it got it all. A little 18's side with a pool table and awsome food, good fruties and a wide selection of food (very good chips). Perfect after a cycle ride up there. Bar staff always smiling and happy, the daughter is unbelievblely hot....! Will continue to travel there! Good stuff, keep up the good work! ...(we all miss jon!)

OMG!! walked in to find the landlady?? swearing and shouting at some young regulars. The food: when did homemade food mean microwave curry for £7.50 disgusting. and you get some smelly dirty dog watching you eat. Never again.

Stopped off at this pub as part of a hike and, whilst it wasn't partcularly welcoming, it does deserve better than its current abysmal rating of 3.2. Beer was OK, they let us park until evening, they let the kids eat sandwiches in the pub, it wasn't that bad at all. I'm going to have to vote here...

It use to be a great pub to work in. I have a lot of fond memories of it. I popped in a while ago to see if an old friend of mine was still there, but he wasnt. It had changed management and it just wasnt the same. It has lost the warm friendly atmosphere and the guy behind the bar was nowhere near as friendly as the last one.
The food was ok.

Was a lovely pub untill the new landlord and landlady turned up, he is rude, arrogant and as said previously, very unwelcoming. Don't know what has happened to this once very popular village pub. NEEDS NEW MANAGEMENT, QUICK!!

To add, none of us were anywhere near under age.

Went for a walk one cold night and then drove to a nearby pub for a drink. We found the guy who served us (apparently the landlord) very abrupt and rude. To be fair though, he was sticking to their ID principle but was very rude about it. After joking that we could stay for a coke, we left - probably never to return.
We all left the pub feeling offended and unwelcome. It's a spacious pub in a pretty location, didn't get to try the food or beer so I can't comment.

One of those pubs that you don't mind driving to, because you know you are going to get great beer and food.
