Had a meal here with friends a few weeks ago as everything else in the area was full or we knew to be awful.
Good selection of drinks, but food was to be expected - mass produced microwave cuisine.
Wrong food was served to us at first, but staff very helpful and apologetic.

Nice layout and they pull an ok pint but this place seems to attract the teens for some reason and I swear most of them are underage. Avoid at the weekends unless you want to see even more teens only drunker! and LOL at previous poster when he said about their "beer garden" being a small dirty patio LMAO! that's exactly what it is! oh and the food SUCKS.

I used to go here now and then, but have given up now. The service is appaling. They now advertise a beer garden, which is actually a small dirty patio area. I know its popular at the weekend but if you are over 25 you will hate it.

This is such a dull pub. Full of drunken teens, the place has no heart. Really dark interior, it can't seem to decide if it wants to be a family restaurant or a Croydon boozer. The compromise doesn't work.

Great place to go for a drink and a meal with friends. Only noisey when football or rugby is on. Great place to go for talks and etc

Plastic, over priced, boring chain pub. Haven't eaten there but for a drink The Valley is much nicer.

I went into this pub for a quick drink one evening, and plesently surprised, considering I was in Caterham. Its a real step up from the other pubs around i.e. surrey hounds.
Comfy seating, food was cheap and spot on, staff were extremly friendly and happy to help.
The manager was friendly and welcomed us, (although seemed very popular with the regulars).
This is just what caterham needed, and will definately will my local from now on.!

Soulless cloned chain pub - zero atmosphere, zero charisma. OK for a quick drink, but if you want somewhere with charm or character then keep looking because this ain't the place for you.

Just what Caterham has been crying out for. Nice spacious trendy bar, good selection of beers, comfy sofas, good menu, friendly bar staff, chilled atmosphere.

Apparently a Camra recommended pub, the Pilgrim had all the atmosphere of a hotel lobby, although to be fair it was a Sunday night which might not be the best time to visit.

Didn't convince me though that there is a decent pub in Caterham - but it is better than the Surrey Hounds one nearby..
