A busy car park on a quiet weekday afternoon indicates this is an eating pub, and so it proved to be. Around the bar area there is a fair bit of old pub, but it has been much extended and generally done up in modern rustic style, even the old parts which were genuine rustic. There are still some good corners where you can avoid the diners though. Ales on were TT Landlord, Tribute and Doom Bar, in good condition and not too overpriced.

Was refurbished in the Autumn of 2011. The outside seating was the main difference with modern square tables in place of the more cosy wooden types that there used to be. There was also a very strange false green turf in place of the real grass. The design was too trendy and lacked much warmth. However the food was neat and nicely presented and came in very reasonable proportions. Very Gastro compared to the old style British Pub it used to be, the real ales are still pretty handy with generally at least 4 or 5 on plus various other interesting beers. Worth visting still.

I managed to pay a return visit to this yesterday, following a half-hour walk from Cobham Stoke d’Abernon station. They’ve apparently had a mini refurbishment, although the wonderful interior of the pub has gladly not been interfered with. There are no longer picnic benches outside, as they have been replaced by what I presume are all weather tables and chairs, placed on fake grass. It doesn’t look quite so nice at the front now (just my opinion of course), but I suppose the area is more reliable. They also advertise a new menu – I don’t know what all the differences are, but the steak and ale pie has gone up from £9.95 to £12.95 (the quality was OK though), and on the drinks side the Surrey Hills Shere Drop has gone up to £3.80 a pint from £3.30 a year ago. So, this has gone from an excellent country pub to an excellent but expensive country pub.
