A very eclectic menu featuring a stone baked selection of steaks. Starters are amazing. I had the chicken liver spread and my guest had mussels. Many others to pick from.

Also, the presentation was excellent with hot plates for the entrees. The Sunday Roast is worth the visit. Very delectable deserts are available from brûlée to ice cream with fresh fruit.

The staff are friendly although sometimes not the sharpest (for example, brought water to the wrong table, took awhile to tidy away our empty dishes), but these fairly minor things that don't detract much from the pleasure of the meal. The food were beautifully prepared and presented, using very fresh ingredients. I had the crayfish salad to start which was dressed in a thai-chilli mixture that wasn't particularly spicy but quite flavoursome, colourfully presented which really whetted my appetite. My main of seabass and prawns in a white wine cream sauce was delicious, although the baby prawns were slightly disappointing (but that was partly my fault as I had envisioned a couple of large tiger prawn swimming with my filet of sea bass). I also had the chocolate roulade to finish, which was light and fluffy (and very naughty for lunch!). One of us had the beef stroganoff and the portion size was absolutely huge, but we felt it might have been compensating slightly for the lack of 'oomph' (although we all have a slightly different expectations of what a beef stroganoff should be like as there are so many variations!). The beef was very tender though and it was certainly a pleasant dish. Another one of us had the venison wellington that was perfectly cooked. All in all, the Grumpy Mole was nice pub for a (rainy) day to have a drink (or few) and food as it was so warm and welcoming inside. There were also some outside seating immediately in front of the pub, but we'll have to come back on a sunny day for that!

Surrey locals come here, knowing that the Conservatory restaurant will provide a reliable dining experience with British favourites on the menu. The large car park can quickly fill up in the evening.

I like that they often have offal on the menu - liver and kidneys are done well here and in no way remind one of grim boarding school liver! The grill section will produce accurately cooked steaks served with a selection of classic sauces. Only slightly naughty thing is they charge for side dishes - I believe a main course should include the accompaniments that the chef feel complement the dish. You can be assured of a good meal here

Booking a table an hour or two before through the website was a breeze. When we hit traffic in the godforsaken Croydon area, I phone them. Yes of course the booking could be delayed. This is the kind of lovely pub which has a bowl of water outside for dogs and a nice little pile of muddy wellies at the door. The restaurant part is in the back, a slightly dingy room, with no views over the pond sadly. Also quite noisy on a Sunday thanks to assorted children. The Sunday menu offers some delicious sounding dishes. Being in vege mode, it was an easy choice to get the couscous stuffed peppers with halloumi. My companion plumped for a hearty pie. My stuffed peppers were delicious and fresh tasting, while the pie disappeared without trace as we enjoyed our conversation. We followed it up with a lemon verbena crème brulee and a dark cherry and almond tart. The crème brulee was a delicate masterpiece, while the tart was good fayre but a slight heavy on the pastry. Prices are a little higher than I expected outside London, but good value for the quality and service. The management must be good because all the staff we interacted with were pleasant. The staff all seemed to be enjoying their work so seemed like a great team. There's nice walking directly from the pub. I imagine it will be very pleasant in summer, and I hope I get a chance to return.

Edit 21st June 2008: Downgrading this to 1 star after…read moreanother visit to The Inn at the Pond resulted in a fetid-smelling and tasting burger being served. After a really good first meal (I'm leaving my original meal in for fairness), this meal was a massive let down. We found ourselves entering the restaurant wondering why there were so few people in it for a Saturday lunchtime and left wondering how they were still open, with a sample of food taken to provide to Environmental Health. Service was terrible: after waiting at the entrance for a couple of minutes, we had to wander around the (mostly empty) restaurant to see ourselves to a table, despite the fact that the waitress has clocked our arrival and said 'hello'. Drinks, which you'd think they'd be pushing hard, given the massive mark up, were really slow in being offered and topped up. The food (the edible element) was average. Nothing special, particularly considering the premium prices being charged. If you're silly enough to visit, please don't ask for the burger. For one thing, the texture is all wrong - it's obviously been over-mixed (almost certainly by machine) and the burger my wife tasted and smelt foul. When we complained, the management claimed (without smelling our burger) that the smell was due to the addition of cumin and herbs. So, first off, the smell of the burger served was definitely not just cumin. Secondly, any chef who puts anything but beef, salt and pepper (and, at a push, onion) into a burger better know they're doing. The chefs at The Inn at the Pond don't. I don't know what's happened since our first visit, but I'm really disappointed that this place hasn't lived up to its potential. It's not even average at the moment. Avoid, avoid, avoid. Original review: The Inn on the Pond's recently been refurbished, and our visit happened to be three days after opening. The Inn's decor and furniture has a lovely warm feel to it, and the management have done well not to be tempted into the trap of going for a retro-rustic feel. The food is posh pub grub (I wouldn't call this a gastro-pub). Between us we ordered the minute steak ciabatta, the honey roast ham and cheddar baguette, and the thai-spiced fishcakes. All the dishes were excellent, with my fishcakes giving enough of a kick to be noticeable without drowning out any of the other flavours. The chips that accompanied the sandwiches were nicely crunchy on the outside. I'd have preferred them in a thicker cut but to be fair to The Inn they do advertise them as 'frites'. Service was attentive and relaxed (in a good way), and the staff were very friendly towards my 16 month old daughter. I'm not sure the layout of the restaurant will cope with too many young families, but the lack of a children's menu and high chairs probably shows that The Inn on the Pond isn't really geared towards that part of the market. (Luckily for me, my daughter is quite happy eating normal food that hasn't been dumbed down for children.) The Inn's currently in a 'soft launch' period -- as The Inn's website puts it, so we do not do a 'Terminal 5' -- and the menu on offer to us was supposedly limited. Personally, I think it was about the right length, and I'll be interested to see how they cope with the extensive menu currently being touted on their website. Recommended, although I hope this place doesn't become too popular, since it's my local and I'd like to be able to get in without too much trouble.

Also, my friends fish meal was burnt, and the aubergine stack that one of my other friends had was perfectly edible, but very expensive for what it was.
