| I have been reading the comment on this site with reference to this wonderful country pub. I have visited this pub on more than one occasion and in the past year have always received promt and friendly service from Roger, Sharon and there team. The Liver and Bacon is to die for and would recommend to everyone. With referance to Trevs comments. i visited on a sunday and when pulling in to the car par i was feeling the pub might be busy, i walked into the pub and found it to be relatively quite in comparison to the number of cars in the car park. i made a brief comment to Sharon and was informed that this is due to the walkers who would rather park in their carpark than the FREE car park by Ryka's!(she said i'm all for the walkers and bikes to use the car park when they use the pub, but as space is limited it doesn't help our custom when people use it as a public carpark). And on this visit i had the chicken, ham and leek pie great food as always, followed by a pefert lodon pride. Keep up the good work guys this is defintely a great pub see you soon. dorset1980 - 31 Aug 2008 19:15 |
| Enough said Trev, you are a walker and expect free facilites where ever you go, Do you live in the country?? Sharon is not rude, they are fed up with people using their car park when they don't buy a drink. There's a car park at the station if you want to go for a walk but hey you have to pay for that. lolo9801 - 26 Jun 2008 21:09 |
| Oh dear. I've reviewed 107 pubs on this website (and visited many more) and never met such a rude landlady. She stormed out to the car park as I was parking, and said I couldn't because they weren't open yet. I explained that the plan was to do what we've done half a dozen times before: go for a walk, return at opening time and then have lunch. Amazingly she said no way can anyone park a minute before opening time, however much they're planning to spend there; and in any case you're not allowed to go for a walk from their car park. You can only park for the amount of time you're inside spending money! I pointed out the implication: that we'd therefore eat and drink at another pub on our route in future. But her attitude was that walkers aren't welcome anyway. What a missed opportunity - given that this is a perfect setting for walking. I shall now amend my Surrey Walks guide to recommend a different pub, and I shan't come back here. Part of me is sad because, on 6 visits in the past year, the menu's been interesting; the beer and food excellent; and the staff friendly. But this unpleasant woman doesn't deserve my custom - nor anyone else's. Trev - 6 Jun 2008 18:40 |
| In reply to lolo1981 I think the problem was that the opening hours weren't displayed anywhere - a bit of a bummer if you went off for a walk first, then came back to find it closed. But I'm pleased to say this has now been rectified. Eating and drinking hours are now separately displayed in the front porch - and adhered to. Trev - 29 Mar 2008 18:38 |
| Went for a meal last Friday and still can not fault this pub, the food was really good. Roger and Sharon are wonderful hosts, the beer is well kept and there is a good choice. Can't understand why there is such a problem with the pub be closed at 4.00pm as this is quite normal with country pubs especially when there is limited passing trade. lolo9801 - 12 Mar 2008 11:13 |
