Had looked forward to taking my Dad out for coffee but was sadly disappointed. No welcome by the man who appeared to be the manager, no smiles, no biscuits not even allowed to sit where we wanted. So sorry but no more custom from us. Much prefer The Derby Arms. More

This is one of our favourite pub/restuarants in our area. Food is always very hot They change the menu often. No need to book unless for a large group or Mothers day Staff very friendly. Portions very generous. Lovely place in the winter but especially nice in the summer when You can eat outside and see the Epsom race course More

I have reviewed the Rubbing House previously and some of the recent comments had me worried as I had not been for some time. Friendly greeting on arrival and we were shown to a circular table, ideal for our party. Some of us selected the Souvlaki and it was expalined that it could take 25 mins to ensure the chicken...

This restaurant is in a great location and in itself worth a visit. Food was good, though not great, deserts would have been better if not straight out of the freezer. Service was very good and a good selection of food choices. More

What can I say - it's pub grub, the staff warm up a little after a while; the food is based on a Greek/british pub theme; the greek dishes from the menu would be a 25 minutes wait so we chose from the rather stodgy specials menu. The pudding had been microwaved hard in places and the custard was under... More

I can only echo what another recent reviewer said about indifferent and uninterested service- we arrived at midday on a Tuesday with a group of 8 people- including four children. We asked to be seated near a window- we were shown to a dark unapppealing area of the restaurant- when we asked for a lighter area- two tables were placed... More

Although the waitress's were apologetic, the meal took over 40 mins to arrive, while other guests meals came quicker ?.Meals themselves were ok but expected better.All in all not impressed at all. More

Been here a number of times, always been satisfied but never blown away. Service has never been great! The last few times I have tried to book a group and they refuse bookings under 10! So even though I had nine people they don't want to know. There is a certain air of arrogance about the place and the staff,... More
