Food has improved a lot since my last visit, they now have a varied menu and everyone enjoyed it. This time the Doombar was off but the Spitfire was fine. Really friendly and helpful staff. Easily the best pub in Godstone.

No chavs at midday on a Saturday. My pint was fine but some 'floaters' in my mate's. Plethora of antique gubbins adorning the walls, friendly staff and separate pool room (which I always approve of). Best of the three on the green.
|
Probably the best pub in the village. Nice location overlooking the village green but the "garden" is spoilt by the nearby A25. Harveys sussex was fine but the Spitfire was off when I was there. Food OK, nothing special but no complaints either.

Drink here three or four times a month - not a bad pub at all, always get a decent pint...

Visited this pub a few times and varies which I like, it can be a bit lively when the tradesmen are in on a Friday at 5pm for example but all good natured. Sunday roasts are good and generally a good village pub with community atmosphere. Not sure when the above people visited but not seen any Chav's and when you order bar food I would not expect service? As for chipped glass etc how does the pub improve if you do not let them know? I would recommend it and visit again, best one in Godstone, Fox and Hounds is a bit of a stroll but also good.

Used to be our regular pub for use when walking in Godstone : BUT . . . now it seems to have been taken over by the juke box and the games machines. We now AVOID, which is a shame ~ as we note the comment about this being an independent in a sea of local M&B !!

What a shame - a really picturesque pub from the outside - chav city inside.
Service appalling - I was passed over twice at the bar before being served - I thought I had become invisible! We had some food, which came reasonable quickly, but when I asked for the cutlery and ketchup, I was directed to a corner over the other side of the pub! - no service - no tip.

Three words ... AVOID AVOID AVOID.
I'm a 39 year old Scotsman and being Scottish, I can't remember ever failing to finish a drink in my life ... until I visited this pub.
My Harveys was so dark and cloudy that you couldn't even see through it. Couldn't be bothered taking it back to complain. My friend's Stella was flat and lifeless and served in a chipped glass.
The beer garden is spoiled by the heavy volume of cars/traffic, but i don't suppose that is any fault of the pub.
If you are driving, then try The Barley Mow in nearby Tandridge, which is fantastic.

A traditional pub, with lots of wooden tables out front and a good view overlooking the Godstone village green. Just Harveys on when I called in, and it wasn't exactly the best pint I've ever had. Could do with a bit of investment to spruce the place up a bit, but it makes a pleasant change from the nearby gentrified establishments.

the only real pub for miles and the best beer in godstone
|
Only pub left in Godstone not to suffer the depredations of M&B. Indeed the only proper pub left in Godstone really. Refreshingly cool Harveys in good condition on a hot afternoon, and no Curse of the Sunday roast here either, you can have a sandwich if you want. Rare is that these days.
A bit rough round the edges, not a destination pub, but if you're looking for a break from the M25 it's a great alternative to the nearby Clacket Lane services.

Well kept beers and lagers good selection spirits lovely home made dishes. well worth visit. Friendly staff dogs and kids allowed, with a few restrictions

great Sunday lunch! Extensive menu and delicious at a good price. Friendly Landlords and staff.

Looks very appealing from the outside, was strangely soulless on the inside, although perhaps we caught it on an off night..
