Lovely pub, with an attitude problem. Not sure that this pub knows what it is trying to be. Restaurant/ Gastro Pub or country pub? Set in a lovely location and a comfortable place to relax. Have been several times and feel that the owner / manager is rude and disinterested in engaging 'non regulars. On a recent visit, instead of serving us, he prefered to clear glasses from tables. Prices are ridiculous. 1 pint and 2 shandy pints over £11. The website is misleading as it is not friendly to walkers in my view. Whilst there on the recent visit, witnessed the manager remove a couple from a table in the restaurant who were having a drink. restaurant was half empty, manager was very rude about this.

Went to have yet another look last week. Little sign of the new management, so I can't comment on that. Not sure I agree with RolfHarris when he suggest the beer is reasonably priced at £3.80 a pint - I know of pubs in Mayfair where it's less expensive.
Certainly RH is right to describe this as easily the best pub in the Surrey Hills if he's talking about the visual appeal: they've still got a long way to go in terms of running the pub - including washing the floor, you could grow veg on it which is pretty amazing given we're in a drought.

New Managers in, doing a great job. Menu has increased in size and now has some amazing burgers. Beer well kept and priced at a reasonable level. They dont seem to mind walkers, dogs, cyclists and even kids! Gets very busy on a Sunday which is a pain. Easily the best pub in the Surrey Hills.

The charm offensive I mentioned (and hoped for) in my badly spelt October 21 comment has yet to arrive: short on the welcome and long on the dismissive.

Had a weekend lunch here. It's a pleasant pub and the service was good but the lunch was very poor value. £15 for a roast that was way too small and not particularly good quality (the parsnips reminded me of my youth and not in a good way - very tough & stringy!) We skipped the expensive puddings, reckoning that they too would be greatly over-priced. The beer was ok but also on the expensive side.
