Very poor service and food. Our order was taken twice due to an error first time. We waited an hour and a half for our starter. When the food came, the roast meat was ok but the vegetables were burnt and ugly. They knocked the cost of our drinks off the meal (which took over 3 hours in all) after an embarrassing argument, but it did not make up for a very bad experience. We shall not be going to the Surrey Oaks again.

Lovely pub and garden, great range of interesting ciders and beers, kid friendly atmosphere. Menu not very inspiring, but food tasty. A kids menu or portions would have been helpful.

Back home after 5 weeks and back home to the Surrey Oaks. The warmest of welcomes and still the best pizza despite many wonderful offerings across France and Spain. It was truly good to be back!

The pub itself is lovely - real oldy worldy with a wonderful outside space. The service really lets the place down however. The staff appear very inexperienced and completely disorganised, which meant service was very slow. Quality of food was okay but not great - I expected better.

Enjoyed a delicious Sunday roast lamb with all the trimmings & an added Italian twist with hints of pesto & olive oil dressing on the perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. The friendly & professional staff made our visit extra special.

A lovely atmosphere and lovely selection of beers. Sadly there were various dishes, main course and deserts that weren’t available this evening. What was available was to a high standard quality pub food . Thank you

Sent food back twice. The first burgers both came out with mouldy bread so they were sent back. Then one of the replacements was raw. The service was slow even though there was an abundance of staff. Awful.

Prompt service friendly staff but very loud Food was ok but seemed to have been rushed out rather than prepared with care Steak was in need of a good bashing ... good flavour but a bit hard to chew & the steak knives need sharpening ..... by no means a bad experience but could have been a great one

Quality if food and drinks brilliant. Whilst the new owners have kept the previous style the restaurant still needs some tlc. The only other point is that on the day of visit, the vegetarian menu options had been reduced ?

Pub is a bit dingy and tatty - not like the photos on line. An enormous heap of food was served making the meal a bit unappetizing. Would have preferred vegetables in a separate dish and less chicken. Half a chicken carcass on the plate wasn't really necessary for most of our party although it was nicely cooked. The whole leek on each plate was tough and inedible. Won't be going again.

Second visit in a couple of weeks. All food excellent again and on the whole very good value. Only exception was the ice cream dessert - three smallish scoops with no biscuit / garnish / sauce etc seemed quite expensive for £5.25

Had a warm welcome. Staff were very attentive. Food was excellent. There was a roaring fire which was very welcoming as it was an awful night but well worth the trip. Pub could do with a lick of paint but we went for the food which was more important. Would go again.

It's our regular haunt anyway but we don't usually eat Sunday roast here as we were disappointed after a lunch for Mother's Day a couple of years ago. However, yesterday, lunch for seven was really good. An excellent vegetarian option for me. I usually have to ask for a roast lunch without the meat, but there was a roast for non meat eaters. Everybody else throughly enjoyed their lunch and the service was very attentive.

As ever, the food was excellent (the mixed game suet pudding was a particular favourite), the beer was beautifully kept and the atmosphere warm and welcoming.
