| Had Sunday lunch here recently. Beef was great, as was pint of Ranmore ale. Lovely setting. gtowngal - 5 Aug 2008 16:46 |
| This used to be one of my favourite pubs. Formerly a Courage pub of great character. Bought by Mike and Linda S in the 80's and became a victim of its own success; you couldn't get in the place it was so packed! Great countryside, great walks and great location, just two miles walk from home. The latest owner, Giles, I had misjudged. He has invested well in the pub and it is now a great place to drink again after the rudeness of the previous landlord Mick D. His chucking out speach, "Right, I've had your money now f*** off," didn't really cut the mustard with my two lady companions at the time, although I should not speak too ill of the dead. Excellent TEA, Shere Drop and other beers have been enjoyed here in recent weeks, well done Giles it has deservedly regained its popularity. Watch out for the rather limited opening hours though, it was supposed to open all day on Saturday for the summer, but last Saturday it was shut in the afternoon!

| Stopped for Sunday lunch. Had lovely fresh cod and wife had roast beef. Couple of pints of Surrey Hills Ranmore Ale and Shere Drop, what more do you want? Sunshine maybe, was a bit nippy in the garden. Agree that it's a wee bit expensive but found that the staff and locals didn't bite! Mothroy - 15 Jun 2008 18:57 |
| Strange to say but I can agree with nearly all the differing opinions below. The pub is not at all welcoming in its design, the attitude of the staff and the regulars. That said, the food is normally good and the excellent range of beer is generally but not always in peak condition. It is a small atmospheric pub with a huge real fire that serves the local wealthy landowners and country folk well, but don't expect warm country hospitality. GGG - 25 Mar 2008 12:55 |
| Good beer, nice location (pleasant walks nearby). Bar staff happy to take 'phone calls whilst customers are waiting - practising basic courtesy and introducing a little organization would much improve the experience of visiting this pub. No greeting, a 15 minute wait for a pint, and no idea of the order in which the few customers at the bar arrived suggest a careless and amateurish approach to service. ashmather - 25 Feb 2008 09:39 |
