| nice food, even if a little expensive for the camembert starter, very friendly staff, and a good selection of beers, lovely location for walking trips bluebirdtheunbitter - 7 Feb 2012 11:58 |
| Visited The Volunteer last night after an absence of 2 years to find it under new ownership. What a difference, friendly welcome and a roaring fire. Great selection of beers, the PIckled Pheasant (beer!) went down very well. The smoked haddock on mash with creamy spinach was both very tasty and plentiful. The rolled chicken breast was also very good. Nice to be in a pub with a pub atmosphere rather than a restaurant atmosphere. This will be our preferred eating place in the Surrey Hills if this standard is maintained Alant63 - 28 Jan 2012 18:43 |
| Back again today for a passing visit. Saturday lunchtime and the place was busy. Tanglefoot has dropped to £3.80 which brings it in line with some of the similar places in the area. Didn't eat, but heard people leaving being enthusiastic about the food (rather than just being polite) The family seem to put a lot of work in to make it a success. I think they have been there for about 18 months now, and seem to have built it back up again. Still not sure why people feel the need to crush my new potatoes when, if that was what I wanted, I could flatten the little buggers myself, but there you go. Just a fad, I suppose, like octagonal plates, or calling gravy 'jus'. Gzornenplat - 28 Jan 2012 15:19 |
| Went there today and, despite a huge number of walkers etc, had excellent service and good food. The family worked their socks off!! We will return. Hugh.Williams5 - 2 Nov 2011 19:32 |
| This is an exceptionally nice pub which seems to be run by a very pleasant family. During a recent visit I thought the beer (Sussex in my case) was well kept. We opted to eat too, steak and kidney pudding (excellent) and fish pie (plenty of good fish but the cheese topping was totally over the top, it could/should (?) have been sold as a cheese pie). Perhaps we were just a bit unlucky with the cheese. I would (and will) happily return because it's well worth while. Keep up the good work (and save money on the cheese!).
