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

Car park is still free, you buy a ticket and the price is taken off a purchase at the bar. The menu changes every few months.. it is a seasonal thing BUT when it was revamped last year, it reopened with a totally new menu...delicious! The Woodman had a wonderful manager a couple of years ago, Geraldine, unfortunately she moved on. At the time the Woodman was stunning. We had several team events there and also used it quite regularly for social events. I am sure I have been unlucky but I have not enjoyed the service nor the food since Geraldine went. I do admit I have stopped going to the Woodman in the last 18 months... thus it could well be wonderful again.

I dropped a pin on the map and it landed on that area. The person we rented the Air BB from mentioned that The Victoria was a great pub to stop in to and great for a meal. We walked over from where we were staying in Oxshott and I must say it was the most amazing meal from the entire trip we had in the UK. We started with the SNAILS, which were made with really nice seasoning of what I believe was parsley, olive oil, and garlic.. I think. For main dishes we had the HAKE, RABBIT SPECIAL, and the BOAR. Each dish was made to perfection, and paired perfectly with the wine we ordered. We really couldn't do dessert, but once we heard that it was PISTACHIO SOUFFLE w/ Chocolate ice cream, we couldn't resist!! The restaurant was absolutely lovely, the staff was perfect, and I would love to come back again and recommend any out of townees that Surrey is such a beautiful place to visit. ENJOY!
