Nothing too much to recommend this place in any way. It's like they are aiming for average. It's…read morebeen a while since I've been here, but I seem to recall it being better before. There wasn't anything that was terrible-- it's just that there wasn't anything particularly interesting looking on the menu. Peri-Peri chicken pasta was unremarkable. Serviceable, but unremarkable. Could have been heated from frozen for all I know. We had two large groups in their private rooms and they did a good job of trying to accommodate everyone, all things considered.

I would love to stay here since its quiet, romatic, and so different from the rest of England! It's very secluded so I didnt see much to do but it's close to the other villages.

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.

Nice pub with ensuite guestrooms out the back…read more Has a nice beer garden, pool table, live bands on weekends and does drinks deals now and again. The clientele can be pretty rough however, attracting some undesirables from around the area. A little far from public transport too, but then again, most things are in this neck of the woods

Dingy pub - musty with holes in the furniture... but maybe that's the look that they're going for?…read more Food we ate was pretty bad. I ordered a chicken salad so maybe that's my fault for ordering incorrectly at a pub but the menu was short. Chicken had a wild taste. We also had the risotto with mushrooms that was only ok. Ended meal with the apple and plum cobbler that I enjoyed but my husband thought lacked sweetness. Needless to say, we won't be returning or recommending this place.

Good pub out in the sticks of Surrey…read more Used to be the local, undergone various changes of management and thus various changes throughout the years. Attracts a younger and younger crowd as time goes on, but still has a good mix of old and new.

Fabulous choice without an overly heavy crust and presenting a perfect blend of flavors (and plating design). -Main: Rare beef salad with diced tomatoes and chorizo paired with a gorgeous combination of dressings and salad leaves. Perfectly done beef strip with a creative marriage of background flavors. We came here with our friend's family who we knew we could trust to deliver some outstanding dishes in a quaint, well furnished pub setting. The waitress was fast, helpful, and friendly throughout. The seasonal menu has clearly been meticulously chosen, leaving something for everyone and leaving no one out. The new spring menu features traditional with a twist favorites such as Tempura black pudding with red onion marmalade, a poached egg, and hollandaise sauce for starter along with steak, Red Mist ale and mushroom pie with red wine gravy for the main. The prices are very reasonable for the local, fresh produce and expert execution of the food.

We found a choice of tables available many of which had a leather sofa in place of the seats on one side. Very comfortable but in my view not practical to eat from. We were served at the table for both food and drinks. Nice choice of ales including Hoggs Back TEA. The menu offers plenty of choice and it is home (pub) made from fresh. 2 of my group went for beef roast. I chose an steak, ale and mushroom pie, and my partner chose a cumberland pie. Prices ranged between £10.50 and £14.50 (for the roast) for our meals which I felt was a little pricey compared to many. The food was served adn was absolutely first class. Everything was cooked to perfection (the meat, mash, roast potatos, vegetables etc) and was hot. It really was absolutely delicious, as was the desert afterwards (where even the cheesecake was home made). We gularly sample Sundays lunches at pubs and this is up there with the best.

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.
