Dukes Head, Tadworth

They had four ales on when I arrived, with five on by the time I left at the end of the evening. There was nothing very exciting; they included their house ale called KT20 (the pub's postcode) which is rebadged Morland (Greene King) Bitter, plus other usual suspects, with the best bet in my opinion being the Hogsback Hogswallop. We were there for a meal with a large group of friends, and it seems that just about everybody else in there on Saturday was eating as well. As we entered the pub we were met by a friendly lady who enquired whether we had booked a table. It was that sort of place. But the food was fairly good. I had the homemade steak/ale/mushroom pie plus veg (I swapped the new potatoes for chips obviously) for £12.95. Not cheap, but the quality was high. Fortunately the extra gravy that had been poured over the pie didn't detract from the meal too much. The interior is as described by the previous reviewer. It's supposed to look like an archetypal country pub, with beams and the like, and it does that job. I have only the experience of my one Saturday evening visit to draw upon, but on the basis of that visit it looks like somewhere you would come for a meal rather than just a drink.
