Went to the pub on 22nd taking with me three brothers who had arrived from Australia and USA. I must say I have been before and wanted to show my visitors some of their old haunts. The food was terrible, (one burger was not cooked through hence blood when bitten into, it was returned to the poor over worked barman and returned to my brother re cooked)I think an offer of another burger might have been prefered. The ham egg and chips was good but sandwiches were nothing to write home about and therefore not eaten. Apart from that the beer was good and the staff tried their best. It's a shame they had to keep telling us they were under staffed though. Nop I won't return for a while as it has put me off.

Arrived early Saturday lunchtime as being only decent stop for miles while walking the North Downs Way (which passes within 100 yards). Were immediately followed by large group of ramblers, most of whom beat us to ordering food, but we did not have to wait unduly. £7.25 for decent ham egg and chips. Seemed to be few locals just walkers.
Had 4 ales on, I chose Ringwood (good), also Pedigree, Speckled Hen and Spitfire.
Decor inside a bit depressing though feeling like an open dance floor with pillars

Took a group of walkers there. Staff very helpful. Nice pints of Ringwood & Speckled hen, also had Spitfire on. Food pretty good and reasonably priced. Quite roomy and has a big garden too.

It's a reasonable pub. Nothing spectacular to commend it. The food is nothing special but not expensive; the beer garden is reasonably pleasant and roomy but the interior is a little poorly appointed and not very well kept. The staff look disinterested - not such much rude as just slightly dismissive. In good walking country so by the time you get there, you're not particularly discerning. Not the worst but could be better.

Took the good lady here for a Sunday Lunch last week. Good Food, Good Value, Good Service, Good Atmosphere, worth a trip

Very nice pub - clean, old fashioned and serves food without being too fussy. Well worth a visit.

Now much improved, clean and tidy, warm welcome. Used to suffer from the white van disease but now too posh for them - truth be told that's not difficult to achieve but too many publicans seem content to cater for a few loud swearing shaven headed fat bastards at the expense of everyone else.
Anyway a nice mix in the Harrow now, young and old, reasonably priced food, good beer range, Ringwood in top condition. Worth a visit, great spot to base a walk from.

Took a friend for lunch today. What a smashing little pub. Friendly bar maid made us so welcome and even asked for the dogs name whom she made a fuss of. Will certainly visit again. Food nicely served and very reasonably priced. Only thing I didn't like was the little road from Bletchingly, went home via caterham. Well worth the trip though.

Nice traditional pub, service was friendly, food and beer was good.

Only been here once near Xmas time during the afternoon. Came in from a long walk having been lashed by rain. They let the dog in. Was greeted to a deserted pub and chose a nice spot right by the wood burner to dry out. Ale good and had local brews too. Charming pub all in all.

Lovely pub in the middle of nowhere. Good ales and good food. Probably the best in the area.

Wow! What a difference. The owners have changed and the pub has gone a bit more up market. The beer is good and the food is superb ( what I tried anyway)

Well suited for walkers and a nice range of beers. Strangely crummy.

Truly beautiful, from what I remember. I used to work there several years ago. It's quite literally in the middle of nowhere, perched between woods at the top of a steep hill, but surprisingly busy all the same. During the summer, there used to be a lot of gloriously mellow hippy types with guitars and joss-sticks in the pub garden. On the back of the old food menus, it claimed to be the "Highest Pub in Surrey". I'm saying nothing.
Love + the hills are alive,
