This is a great place to visit for Sunday Lunch.

Jan 2024 • couples

On the recommendation of a very good friend, we visited the pub for Sunday Lunch. We were pleasantly surprised on just how good the Sunday Lunch actually was. A full and comprehensive Sunday roast was presented that had all that you would wish for with ample servings of roast meat and the vegetables you could wish for. The meat and vegetables were good quality and well prepared that nothing was left on our plate! Combing a reasonable price with attentive service, this is a great place to visit for Sunday Lunch. We will certainly return.

Best pub in Caterham.

Aug 2020 • friends

Best pub in Caterham. I really enjoyed my visit. The landlady is a friendly soul who took time to chat and make sure all was well. Nice and cozy inside but some good spaces outdoors when the weather is good. Lots of good Covid 19 precautions inside and out. Felt very safe, which is saying something for me as I am very cautious. Asahi and Peroni on tap plus fullers beers, job done!

Friendly local pub

Apr 2023 • couples

Always a nice crowd, good and well kept ales on tap. Came to try the new food menu, had the crispy Norfolk chicken wings with sticky Korean sauce which were really nice and also crispy squid with sweet chilli sauce, the portion sizes were great for a sharer between 2 people and the crispy squid was one of the best small plates we have had. Would recommend

Proper down to earth pub with good beer & food

Jul 2024 • friends

Had a really good experience here. Met a mate for a beer & a chat, plus lunch, midweek, it was quiet the day we were there (which was perfect as we had lots to discuss). Friendly and down-to-earth, a VERY nice pint of ESB, and good food. Proper no-nonsense pub, you get a nice smell of fresh beer the moment you step in - great!

Nice local pub.

Aug 2023 • friends

Nice friendly pub. Lots of locals use the pub which gives it a really good atmosphere. Good mix of punters from workman having an evening pint to families and friends. Never had a bad experience here. Probably the best pub in Caterham.

Miserable little hole

May 2024 • friends

Best place to get a pint of line cleaner in caterham, or if food is more to your fancy you can get the world's most expensive freezerburned microwave slop. The decor is lovely, but ruined by the filth and the landlady's attitude.

Strangers not welcome

Nov 2019 • couples

My wife and I came in here for a few Friday night drinks before going to the Indian restaurant nearby. It was busy when we arrived at around 6.45pm, which was a good sign. Before we ordered our drinks, we looked around to see where we could find somewhere to sit. All was fine until we entered the room at the back (where the darts board is) and were immediately greeted by hostile stares from a group of men sitting at the back of the room. It was like something out of a sinister film; clearly this was an area for regulars only and they didn’t take kindly to us. Understandably, we elected not to sit there and instead took the one free table in the adjacent room, ordered our first drink and got on with our evening. All was well until about an hour later when our conversation was rudely interrupted by the sudden arrival at our table of a man (tall, dark haired,in his late 30s/early 40s, wearing work trousers with holster pockets), who leant over my wife and asked her aggressively “have you got a problem with my girlfriend? She says you have looked at her twice in a snobby way”. Both she and I informed the guy that we had no idea what he was talking about (which is true). The man said “well she doesn’t lie”, before returning to join his group in the room at the back. Thereafter, several of his mates came in to the room to have a look at us, presumably checking that 15 or so blokes had the ability to overcome a man and woman, both in their 50s, if it came to it. Understandably, my wife and I were both shocked and stunned at such behaviour and we decided to leave immediately. For the avoidance of doubt, we are not snobs, we did nothing to offend anyone and we regularly visit pubs of varying shapes and sizes, both locally and in other areas of the country. We remain gobsmacked that establishments like this one actually exist in this day and age and that Fullers want anything to do with it. Shameful.

Thank you for bringing your experience to my attention as I genuinely don't ever want any of my customers to feel as you obviously have and would very much like to speak to you further on this matter so that I can do everything in my power to prevent it happening again, firstly by identifying the man that spoke to you are barring him for the premises.

Still love this pub .... after 40 years!

Apr 2019 • family

Almost 40 years ago, I met my husband when I was working behind the bar in this pub, and we held our wedding reception there 10 weeks later. On a recent family visit, we just had to spend an evening here: the first time I'd been back for decades. But the pub had the same lovely, warm, friendly atmosphere that it did all those years ago, and I immediately felt totally at home. How many pubs can you say that about these days? There were eight of us in our party, plus one very fluffy Samoyed dog, who was immediately made to feel welcome (even though it was a very busy Saturday night). hopefully, we won't leave it so long before we visit again!

Apr 2019 • friends

A group of a dozen of us were very well looked after on Sunday. We had booked the function room for lunch and our orders were taken quickly and food served up very promptly. The pies we had were delicious (chicken, ham and leek; steak and Stilton) and the side orders of fries were very generous. Nothing fancy, but lovely tasty food, great value for money and the staff were very helpful and accommodating to all our requests. Would definitely recommend.

Excellent lunch, friendly staff

Mar 2019 • couples

We came here yesterday for lunch having looked up reviews of where to go for a quick lunch. We parked in the car park and walked into the pub which seemed quite quiet so we were a little nervous that we had got it wrong. We ordered our drinks and food and sat down. The food came quite quickly and it was delicious. The roast was a massive portion, all piping hot and perfect. The staff were all friendly and we went away very happy. I would thoroughly recommend the pub. Great discovery.

Poor Beer

For the second time in as many weeks the beer didn't seem up to scratch as Cathy used to keep it. Lovely pub but seems quieter than usual in recent weeks and the presentation of the beer needs some work. Sorry Cathy

A Friendly local Pub.

Dec 2018 • friends

Although the beer seems a little more expensive than others in the area, it is worth every penny.The staff and particularly the Manageress, seems to welcome all visitors as if they are regulars. It is always busy with dart teams enjoying their games and the free food provided for them. Also a welcome log fire is burning in the winter. Try it.
