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

The interior is just like the demeanor of the staff: warm, likeable, and feels like home. In fact, it was incredibly difficult to determine where we wanted to dine, because of the sheer cuteness found in the decor and ambiance of The Grumpy Mole. It was just too damn nice outside to take a beautiful, sunny day in England for granted. So, we opted to sit on their patio and enjoy a near perfect day. Knowing how delicious the curry is in the UK, I opted for that choice and my high expectations were met. The chicken was tender and well prepared. The curry flavor was abound but not overpowering, while the naan and rice were soft, not stale. But the real highlight of the experience was the charcuterie plate packed with meats, cheeses, olives, and more. If only I had the fortune to return to England more often, then I would visit The Grumpy Mole on every visit. For now, I will dream of that day and hope it is on a cold, winters night, where the interior of the Grumpy Mole is cozy and warmed by a crackling fire place, of which I am sitting by while sipping on a piping mug of cider.

My wife and I have been staying in this hotel for work repeatedly for the last month, and have…read moreconsequently eaten in their restaurant on many occasions. The menu is not extensive, but is varied. The food is fresh and beautifully prepared and presented. I am usually prepared for mediocre food in chain hotel restaurants, but the Larder has not failed to exceed expectations on every visit. The service is good but not too intrusive, and although, being a hotel, there are often large business parties, the attention you receive from staff is personal and warm. The fish dishes are particularly delicious and one marker of the restaurant is that I've never had a dessert, which means that the portions are generous. I know that hotels are not always first choices for a meal out, but I can't recommend the food and the staff at the Larder in the Hilton at Croydon highly enough.

The Steak and Blackheart Stout Pie was delicious. The steak was tender and the mash was smooth. Definitely get the Sticky Toffee Pudding.

It is no longer so much a traditional pub as it appears from the outside, but more emphasis on the restaurant side of it.

What good food it was, as good and wholesome as anything served in our 'foodie' neck of the woods here in the San Francisco Bay area.

Luckily, our local one was one of the better examples of them, with consistent quality of food and service. It was always better when it was a bit busy as the food was always fresh and steaming hot. When it was slow, the meat could be a bit dry and veg a bit overcooked from sitting under the heat lamps. But even at its busiest times, the queue went very quickly, so don't let it being busy put you off. This was a very family-friendly place to go, as there was always a highchair available (although they could do with bein kept cleaner), and the layout of the place, along with the general hum of other customers meant you rarely overheard the other tables or felt as if your noisy toddlers were bothering anyone. Toby Carverys aren't going to set the world on fire, but this one will certainly provide you a good, solid, hearty meal at a ridiculously low price. You know what to expect, and you can count on this branch to deliver.

But really who goes to a pub in England and not order fish and chips. This is the place to do so. They do have a restaurant but I believe you need a reservation for that.
