| When spending over £200 pound for a group booking most pubs would provide a celebratory cake or round of drinks. When we were confronted with a £1.75 CACKEAGE charge we we were amused at first but upon realisation of exactly what it meant decided to place our business elsewhere. A complete disgrace Utilityman1990 - 22 Oct 2011 21:44 |
| Re: comments below about a cakeage charge If you ran a pub and had a birthday party of 20 people in who were all going to eat a cake they had brought in instead of a dessert what would you do?? All of this pubs desserts are homemade and incredibly reasonable at £3.75. But for a table of 20 in these circumstances you would be losing £75:00. Does that seem like sacrificing business over a trivial issue?? This is probably the friendliest pub in the area with superb food, great staff, a charismatic landlord and is a welcoming place for children. Im failing to see why people would give this a miss purely because of a slice of supermarket bought, e-numbered to hell, stale, tasteless cake. In the end all pubs have been hit hard through tax on beer and the current financial climate. Its people like you who nitpick at everything and withdraw your support that so many pubs are closing. Luckily, this pub is packed every friday, saturday and sunday. Does quiz nights, poker nights, weddings and is a vital part of the Smallfield community. And, very rare for the local Horley area, it isnt a pub full of louts and idiots. GET A GRIP!! spooney - 17 May 2011 02:34 |
| This pub serves good beer and good food at reasonable prices. Especially inviting in the summer with the kids as the garden and play area are excellent. Sadly the pub atmosphere lacks something and does not match the other couple of pubs within a two mile radius. It is of course personal choice. The banter about the "Cakage Charge" is a farce and a turn off. I thought they must mean a Corkage charge but was soon corrected. We decided to go elsewhere and the local pub selected actually provided the cake as a complimentary gesture as many restruants do. £1.75 per head for a paper plate and the loan of a knife is taking the perverbial mickey. It seems that when this is challenged it is not well recieved and it is surprising in these difficult times that business is sacrificed over such a trivial issue. From the comments posted it seems that it would be desirable for the landlord to cease allienating his pub from loyal customers and capitalise on the opportunites that he is obviously missing. 01Denman - 6 Jan 2011 13:05 |
| Read with interest the comments about the birthday cake. Our party of twenty took two cakes into the pub. We were told that one cake was OK but two would probably result in a loss of dessert trade. I explained that we would stll eat dessert although one or two would obstain. All worked out OK in the end. On my next birthday, Gary bought out my cake and got the whole restaurant ( 50 people plus) to sing me happy birthday, made my day. Remember this those who criticise, this pub is a business and is there to earn a living for the owners. I can remember only three or four years back when the place was a no go area for most of the village population due to the unsavoury clientel. It changed hands a few times but never managed to loose the poor reputation. Thank goodness Gary, Mike and Lyne had the courage to take on the challenge. Thankfully due to their determination and hard work the village has got it's pub back again, and what a pub, great food, excellent service and a warm friendly welcome. And so what if they do charge for cakeage, easy way round this is to cut the cake up and take it home with you. This pub has so much going for it and for the village, if it goes we will all miss out, not just Morris. youcanrunbutyoucantride - 1 Jan 2011 18:59 |
| The pub itself is a bit dated but the food more than makes up for this, been here twice recently and both times have had lovely meals- really good. The pub also has a nice patio area. LMKI - 2 Sep 2010 22:24 |
