Five colleagues and I, at the end of an amazing week at a work conference, we're in desperate need…read moreof some food. Getting in a little late to go to London, we turned our attention to something close to the Gatwick airport. After finally sorting our Uber rides, we were off to The Farmhouse. First impressions were of a traditional British pub experience, which was a good start. Our clumsiness of grabbing a table and figuring out whether we needed to go to the bar to order or wait to be served, surely gave us away as "not locals." Our server was friendly and provided us with our menus and took our drinks order. The one shortfall was that the menu had a number of items not available and with an assist from a customer, two of us needed a rethink on their meal. In all, it was 4 Fish & Chips, One Farmhouse Burger, and a Battered Halloumi burger, plus an order of calamari, and 4 tomato and garlic soups. There were zero plates taken off the table that were not empty! I had the Halloumi burger, which had a great, crispy batter topped with some guacamole mayo with a red sauce on the side. Really good. Then we doubled down and hit the dessert menu! Two warm chocolate brownies with salted caramel ice cream and four plum tarts. We asked for some custard on the side because who doesn't like custard?! Save for the debate about whether it was more a pie than a tart, another set of empty plates were the only evidence left. Would definitely recommend The Farmhouse!

It's been given a much needed face lift, bringing it into the 21st Century and the same goes for the quality of the menu. As soon as you step foot through the door, you feel welcome - the staff are sociable and give the feeling that they like working there. The decor is contemporary without feeling stark - in fact it feels extremely comfortable both in the main bar area and the restaurant. Great lounging chairs and cosy corners compliment the muted tones and wooden floors. This isn't a 'spit and sawdust' kinda joint, but it doesn't turn it's nose up at the punters either. The food as I mentioned before is just delicious. Great flavours, not too much to choose from but a perfect balance of everything to suit everyone. Who could ask for more? And when it came to paying the bill, I felt that I'd got value for money and service that was offered. So please - for my sake, don't rush there too quickly. It's our little secret OK

If the weather is nice, you really owe it to yourself to sit outside and enjoy a meal with the sweeping views of the countryside. It's not just a pub and restaurant.

The only photos I took were of my food. The food is so tasty and well made. There's a broad variety and (thankfully) there are several really delicious vegetarian choices. The beer is varied and good. I'm not down this way often, but when I am, I stop in.

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.
