One of those things I think that all Brits instinctively desire is a "nice country pub for Sunday…read moreLunch": this establishment in not-so-rural Surrey manages to tick all the boxes for me: - Plenty of parking - Plenty of tables in the garden (with a BBQ option) - Good food in generous portions - Good service They managed to score a quick bonus point with me virtually as soon as we sat down for lunch: the first thing the waitress did was offer "tap water" rather than trying to perpetrate the oh-so-irritating up-sell attempt for bottled water that has marred recent decades (for most of the UK perfectly drinkable stuff comes out of the tap: it wasn't that long ago most restaurants automatically put a jug of water on the table ...). 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" ...

Good pub food, a bit fancy. Lovely weekend BBQ plus a gastric pub menu. I had a cheeseburger,…read morecrispy on the outside just as I like it. It was served with chips and three different salads. A great kids menu too, with smaller portions of adult quality food. There's a definite relaxed bourgeois quality, if you are into that sort of thing. Dishes range between 9 and 15 pounds for lunch. 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 packed when we arrived, fortunately we had reservations from two weeks ago. There were quite…read morea number of diners in the garden for to the sunny weather. 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.

Recommended. Just off Stoke Road. Recently renovated by new…read moreowners. Freshened up indoor and out. A little brighter. A little dressier. 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." Service was good though a bit challenged when it got busy.

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
