please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Former 16th century Inn which retains several oak beams and a very traditional interior, ideally located for a drink or food stop when visiting the nearby Clandon House.
It is divided into three small areas, with two larger seating areas either side of the smaller central bar area. This bar area is quite tight which means it doesn’t take too many people queuing at the bar for this area to get very busy. But my experience was that the service is quite efficient so you didn’t have to queue too long.
As mentioned below a decent home made food menu, which is complemented by specials on a chalk board , with the house specialty being home-made pies.
Fortunately the beer choice has moved on a bit from when it was a courage house (as indicated by the prominent road side Courage pub sign) and there are three pumps dispensing Youngs Bitter, Doombar and Surrey Hills Brewery Shere Drop, all of which were well kept.
So a recommended traditional roadside pub for both food or beer.

I must have passed this pub hundreds of times without really giving it a second glance - how wrong I was.
The interior is much nicer than the exterior. Excellent Doombar, excellent food at reasonable prices: brilliant home-made pies!
Yes the pub is pretty much devoted to eating, but enough space has been left for those who just want a pint.
Friendly service means I shall add The Bulls Head to my list of pubs I rate 'very good'.

Best Mixed Grill for a long time and good value.
Also - no TV no music - great.
Change nothing

We dropped by at lunch time today and were treated to a mixed grill to die for. Enjoyed an excellent couple of pints of Doombar to wash it down. Friendly staff and very reasonable prices completed our enjoyment.

It's alright here.
A nice pint of Shere Drop, friendly staff, good food - steak and kidney pudding - and a comfy seat. What more could you want.
Quite busy for a lunchtime. Pub is on a very busy road and doesn't look much from the outside but don't be fooled. It's well worth a visit.

Shere Drop (�3.40), Doom Bar and Young's Ordinary. Traditional pub, inglenook fireplace. Hadn't been in here for years but decent enough.
|
Shere Drop in good condition. Courage and Youngs ordinary also on. Not bad choice for a quiet Monday lunchtime.
Food alright and I'd visit again, but I wouldn't rush.

Hey, cb2k4, whatever you had to drink at the Onslow Arms, I want some too!
This is the Bull's Head page, not the Queen's Head! ;>)
|
Have been here a few times now and always had a friendly welcome. Ale is usually very good, Speckled hen �3.06 (cheap). The food has always been good value. I can't see why its not more popular than it is.

Visited the Queens Head on a Saturday evening, having visited the Onslow Arms first.
Very busy at 8pm, the landlord was friendly & welcoming but the pub is very much focused on food.
Had a pint of Shere Drop.
The area is front of the bar is quite cosy as it only really has room for a single row of people. This is also the route through to the garden and toilets, so can become quite congested.
Toilets were clean and there is a garden & car park to the rear of the pub.
Still doesn't accept card, cash only. Bartender advised that the credit card machine was coming next week...

�2.50 for a pint of soda water and splash of lime? hmmmmm
|
My two Shere Drop's with a Sunday lunch were pleasant. Bust slightly cramped eating area. Quick and efficient staff. Possibly geared more towards food which was OK .
|
Lovely 16th Century traditional pub with a good selection of real ales. Good to see they sell a local pint (Sheer Drop) as well!
Great food, especially the pies!
Welcoming and friendly, will be definately going back. Well worth a visit.

This pub used to be a lively friendly pub a few years ago,shame it has changed they seem to only want the eaters in and not the evening drinkers.
Management a bit up themselves in my opinion.5/10

Went there in August. Landlord intent on proving that he is not the friendliest tool in the box. Food very tasty, especially the home made pie. Beer in good condition. But the place has got a bit of a hangover feel. Not your lively, chatty local. About six people left at half-nine on a Friday - is this the norm? This pub does NOT accept plastic but will accept cheques!!
|
Seemed like a nice friendly locals places - only went there cos the Queen's Head was closed for the evening - but no regrets nice country place full of life.
|
Not a drinkers pub if you dont eat forget it.
