Large, friendly pub near [[Locale Kingswood|Kingswood]] and [[Locale Tadworth|Tadworth]].
Large, friendly pub near [[Locale_Kingswood|Kingswood]] and [[Locale_Tadworth|Tadworth]], busy at lunchtimes (best to arrive well before 1pm if you want a table). Has off-road parking and a beer garden with a covered patio. The food is quite good, and is served in ample portions. The burgers and the smoked salmon tagliatelle (about £7) are particularly recommended. There are always a couple of big-name real ales on tap, averagely kept.

It has a low ceiling and flagstone floor. Out the back, a covered patio leads back to a grassy beer garden.

It's busy at lunchtimes (best to arrive well before 1pm if you want a table). On [[Kake]]'s Tuesday lunchtime visit in August 2013 it was indeed quite busy; there were a few empty tables at 2pm (possibly helped by the good weather and many people being out in the garden), but customers were being warned that there was a half-hour wait for food.

No music was playing on this visit, but there was plenty of lively conversation. Tables were cleared and cleaned very swiftly after being vacated.

[[elvum]] noted in December 2007 that there are always a couple of big-name real ales on tap, averagely kept, and this appears to remain roughly true six years later. On [[Kake]]'s August 2013 visit, the ales were Hogs Back TEA, Young's Bitter, London Pride, Gale's Seafarers, and their Greene-King-brewed house ale, Duke's Head KT20 (£1.75/half). The staff member who served me was pretty new and didn't know anything about the ales, but a colleague prompted him to offer me a taster of the KT20 when I asked about it.

On [[elvum]]'s visits (most recently in December 2007) the food has been quite good, and served in ample portions. [[elvum]] particularly recommends the burgers and the smoked salmon tagliatelle (about £7 as of December 2007).

[[Kake]]'s verdict: Seems to be fairly food-led — while sat at a table with my beer reading a book, staff asked me twice if I was planning to eat. I'd come back if I was in the area, though, whether to try the food or just for a pint.

Accessibility: Two steps to get in at the front. Once you're in, it's step-free to the toilets (including an accessible one). There's no step between interior and the patio, so there may be step-free access from the street via that way. The pub has off-road parking.
