| Would like to reiterate the comments of previous visitors. This isn't my local but I do visit once every month with a group of mates. The prime reason for our visits is to have a good chat and of course enjoy some decent pints. The pub fulfills these needs very well and we cannot fault the real ales served in here. The Landlord really knows how to keep a pint and on the very rare occasion one is not quite right (normally bottom of the barrell) he is very quick to replace it with something else with no quibble. As with the other visitors' comments, the prices are high, but i guess you pay for the quality, although I would say, as others, I can drink beer that is just as good in the City of London for quite a bit less. Perhaps a lower price would entice more people in resulting in more sales and better turnover!!! That is my only gripe, otherwise a great pub. Note, we haven't tried the food, although it does look and smell good. trouble1 - 27 Jan 2010 14:01 |
| Have just returned from a brief visit to this pub, and found it a very nice welcoming place with a country feel. The bar has a number of large bellows and an open fire. The lounge seemed to be for diners. But there were drinkers too. 5 real ales were on - Fullers London Pride, TT Landlord, Harveys Sussex Best, Adnams Bitter and Greene King Abbot Ale. Addlestones cider is served. Yes the prices are a little steep. But I'd be happy if this was my local. blue_scrumpy - 21 Dec 2009 23:05 |
| Good beer, well kept, usually 4 guest beers, currently Adnams, Ride, TT Landlord & Harveys plus stella and staropramen. Good cider too. Food good, decor good, good atmosphere, good landlord, good mix of local and non local clientele. Beer not cheap but worth every penny. Look out for special events - hog roast, morris dancing etc etc. So glad it's my local, so pleased outsiders like it so much too. pyotr - 14 May 2009 23:50 |
| Duckstein below almost had this pub summed up in a single sentence. I would modify to say. Good ale, good food, good location, good décor, good atmosphere, empty wallet. To elaborate more, The Castle Inn is tucked away down a leafy lane off the A320, in the stockbroker belt area of Surrey. It is a two bar pub with a dining conservatory bolted on the back. The bars are comfortable and festooned with farming and horse implements giving it that country pub feel. There is no garden, but benches out the front of the pub. There were four real ales on at the time of my visit. London Pride, TT Landlord, Harveys Sussex Best and a fourth one I can t remember. The Sussex Best was excellent and the Landlord was good. Now the primary reason for us searching this place out was as a stop en-route for Sunday Lunch. These were pricey at £8.99, but I will not quibble at that as both the quantity and quality were excellent and worth the charge. What I will quibble with is the beer pricing. All four ales were priced the same at £3.40! Come On !!! I pay significantly less for Pride and Landlord in City pubs with iconic views of London. But I suppose if your local clientele are mainly retired bankers and stockbrokers who don’t bat an eyelid at paying those prices, then you can get away with it. And as always you do have a choice of a pint of Keg and plastic food in the Harvester down the road. So in summary, a really nice pub, slightly spoilt by a drinks pricing policy bordering on extortionate. Gann - 4 May 2009 13:22 |
| Lovely Local Boozer... One of the few 'Real' pubs left in the area no...it's not technically a 'gastro' pub (thank god) but the food is always pretty good and the booze is excellent. Landlord is friendly (and has lovely legs) , although he is a human and may sometimes moan about stuff that has annoyed him recently .... but then , don't we all ??? Reccomended if you want a chat & a quiet drink (or five) in a nice old pub Mark_n_Caro - 13 Mar 2009 20:33 |
