Although the driver isnt keen because it is only soft drinks for them. Then inside its low ceilings, artifacts and little pictures hanging on the wall, an open fire you just beleive that this place might not have changed in 50 years. Then a visit to the toilet confirms it had not changed in 20, as the olde worldness of the late 80s jumped out at me. It also should be noted this is the first stop on the Bookham Pub Crawl (BPC). Then it is time for the real surprise as my round approaches. This place is rather expensive. I mean unnecessarly so. Why charge so much? What are you providing that makes your pub so special? I ask to myself but the answer I have been told is that this is a real community asset. One from a friend who has grown up here. Antoher from a lovely American lady I work with who is proud to call this one of her locals. I guess you have to live here to really love the Anchor.

After several hours of hiking the hills, a group of us finished the day here before heading back to…read moreLondon via the nearby train. I could have stayed a few more hours here. From the outside it looks like a nice country pub. Once you step inside, however, it's a beautiful sanctuary. The first big room is a casual bar with lots of informal seats with a modern farmhouse vibe. The second area is a nice, smart dining room. Very spacious and bright. The back area had another feel, something a bit more relaxed and country. We were all rough and muddy, so we headed into the back. Food-wise, they are pretty modern, offering salads, seafood, heart soups and sandwiches, plus a chalkboard full of specials. And on our visit, being a Sunday, there were also several traditional roasts and entrees. I thought the food was pretty solid, but my roast beef was a bit tough. That might have been the cut. But otherwise, I felt we were served by the whole family - and done so quickly, efficiently and with a smile. You can't go wrong with a stop here.

The quality of the meal was fantastic. I ordered their petit filet with their creamed corn, a combination of corn, a touch of cream, spinach, onion and bacon that I'll make at home having tried it this way here. They butcher their own meat every day, and the filet was very tender, cooked as desired. The overall menu has something for everyone, and meat lovers are very likely to enjoy the options. The restaurant itself was lively but not so loud that anyone was shouting... a very comfortable place to eat and enjoy company. It's also dog friendly. I'll try to make it back again on the next trip through Heathrow... thoroughly enjoyed the meal.

So I'd definitely commend the Black Swan. UPDATE (Nov-11): After several visits, I'd now have to reduce Service from "Good" to "Generally Good" - there are unfortunately more than one member of staff who need some education about "Customer Focus" ...

I did have to sit in a chair that kept sinking back because it was half on brick and half on gravel, but the food and atmosphere made up for it.

It was a Sunday, which also explains the crowds (families, friends, etc). The Sunday offer of a starter and an entree for Pounds 19.95 was a good value. We enjoyed our starters (mushroom on sourdough bread, shrimps and avocado, butternut squash soup). The starters was 5 Stars across the board. What was terrible was the service time. We put in our orders 15 mins after we were seated. It's now 1.5 hours after we had been seated, and there's no sign of our entrees. Which is why I have time to type this in the restaurant. It was very difficult to attract the attention of any waitress. It has been about 45 mins since we finished our starters. A table next to us turned over with new diners after we had finished our starters. As we were about 10 mins into our entrees (served 1 hour 40 mins after we were seated), the table next to us were served their entrees (same roast rump, they did not have starters). So, it's clearly a management and kitchen issue, and not the crowd factor. We have to say that all entrees (roast rump and pork belly) were just average (2.5 Stars). Oops...the bill was wrong. They added an extra drink. Hmm..... Perhaps choose a weekday for your outing to this pub if you wish to give this place a try.

The facility is really nice with indoor and outdoor dining in a nestled in trees and shrubs. The bar is in the front with the dining in the back and outdoors. Good, varied choice of lagers and ales. Good menu selection generally well prepared. I had the duck recommend by another Yelp fan; although tasty it was a bit dry (hard to do with duck). My wife had a sandwich and was "pleased" with it. Seems a popular place that gets busy about 2:00 2:30. All ages, including some well behaved children. "Decently priced considering the area it's in."

When I recently noticed Yelper Pat G's invitation for me to visit The Plough again as there had a…read morebeen a change of management since my last visit when I was unimpressed by the food Walking in from the pub car park, I noticed that they've rebranded themselves as Chaba Thai. The interior has also been refurbished. In common with the pub itself, the decor is now modern with a sleek dark brown colour scheme giving the place an inviting air After picking a drink at the bar, I was invited to choose my table. The service was great from the Thai speaking waitresses. A bowl of complementary prawn crackers arrived while I was perusing the menu. They were also attentive enough to turn up the lights to help me read the menu and my newspaper I went with my test dish for Thai restaurants. Unusually, though the place has apparently changed hands according to Pat G, they made the same mistake with my pad thai as on my previous visit - they were too sweet and I did miss the crunch of crushed peanuts which usually accompany pad thais but not here I had paired my noodles with chicken gand dang, advertised in the menu as a spicy red curry. The waitress even checked with me that I had intended to order a spicy hot curry and I answered in the affirmative. While the dish was inoffensive, the spicy description must have been calibrated more to Leatherhead than Bangkok palates, so much so that I was able to drink the remaining broth like a soup At this point, my Yelp rating was 4/5 for the service but only 2/3 for the food where a 3 in my book means inoffensive enough but failing to make it onto my rotation of regular places to dine at So, in true Yelp fashion, I used a tie breaker and ordered dessert, something I don't often do, especially at an Asian restaurant. I went with the banana hot bowl, described as steamed slices of banana in coconut milk and sugar and sprinkled with sesame seed. What arrived was very reminiscent of a Malaysian nyonya dish called bubur cha cha, which usually had things like pieces sweet potato and yam also added to give the dish variety and body For the childhood memories evoked by the dessert, I'm going to round up my score to a 4, mainly because of the good service but while the food side has improved, it could still do better, especially as the prices are at the higher medium end. For good Thai food, I like to see a mixture and balance of different flavours, something which Chaba Thai could continue to evolve
