The Surrey Oaks, Newdigate

I'm wondering if Deservebetter has ever actually been to this pub? I'm struggling to believe that they have, seeing as all the points made are factually incorrect. There is a notice illustrating opening times, and as someone who has been going there for the last 6 years it always opens promptly on time and closes when it says. I used to work in the kitchen there and as someone with inside knowledge of how the pub works I have to say that all your comments are absolute rubbish. The food is all cooked from fresh, with pies, quiches, puddings etc being home-made by the chef on the premises and of excellent quality. The pub is renowned for it's excellent ale and has recently won CAMRA's Surrey pub of the year for the 6th year running. I find it impossible to believe that any pub who has been awarded such an accolade consistently for the past few years could ever be run by 'morons' as Deservebetter so politely phrased it. Ken the landlord and his staff are welcoming and always happy to help. I suggest that in the future that Deservebetter actually visits a pub first before writing such offensive and false comments about it.
A superb pub that I can thoroughly recommend to anyone looking for excellent ale, great quality food and a friendly relaxed atmosphere.
