The Bull Inn

Reviewed By Alan P

Yet another pub that is no longer really a pub but a very good restaurant.Very large menu with traditional pub fare, plus some different meals and a small daily specials boarb. Spacious interior with nice spacing between tables, efficient and friendly staff. Starters consisted of a Greek salad, very good and as a Greek salad should be - no leaves! I had duck pancakes, these were really, really nice and I highly recommend them. Mains were salmon en croute, very good, crispy pastry surrounding a nice piece of salmon with mushrooms. The tarragon sauce was really good and the accompiaments of sauteed potatoes and mixed veg rounded of the meal nicely.I had scampi, sauteed and veggies very nice standard pub classic. My only grouse is all the meals seem to come with the same mixed veg, cauli, broccolli, carrots and peas. For me I would some extra choices as side dishes. No room for puds - as usual.We will be back.

Great food, great atmosphere, free parking. They had tons of seating indoors and outdoors. The service was excellent. If you are in a hurry then you can order your food at the bar when you first come in and they will bring it out to the table.

The Iron Duke

Reviewed By TAFF270560

We tried this as we had heard it was quite good. However expensive and distinctly average all round. Trying to upsell from the off is never a good start. Pushing olives bottles of water etc from the start isn't what we expected. We ordered 2 rounds of drinks during the night both times one item was missing. Starters delivered except for one that we had to wait 5 mins for. Starters a mixed bag Camembert and Scotch egg good. White bait over cooked, prawns ok ish. Main course all came out ok. Lamb , Halloumim Burger ok. Fillet Steak very average to poor no taste and one had to be sent back as should have been rare wasn't even warm. Beef Wellington at £27.5 was abysmal. Steak inside was over cooked, tasteless and and was more like an overcooked roasting joint. Pastry soggy and didn't taste any other filling. Service wasn't very good but one lady seemed to be covering whole place. There are alot better places around.

The Elm Tree

Reviewed By Man187069

Elm tree is a unique pub full of warmth and character. I spent the entire day with a glass of wine overlooking the beautiful British country side. Ryan, Alex and Chelsea were all welcoming and knowledgable. I even stayed for dinner and had a decent pub grub. Can’t fault this place. Five stars all the way and highly recommended:)

Reviewed By GJWoodcock

...tucked away off the beaten track through a plain door down stairs to a really nice vibe bistro. Subtle decor, good service and a nice variety on the menu about 10 starters, 10 mains and half a dozen deserts. Generous portion sizes, beautifully presented and very tasty. Great wine selection too. About £50 per person incl. wine and tip. Very very nice.Thank you so much for taking the time to review your visit to Valpy. I'm really pleased you enjoyed dining with us. I will pass on your kind words to the team. We look forward to seeing you again in the near future.

The Bell Inn Aldworth

Reviewed By Pamela H

We went last week to this inn for a quick lunch to show our four visitors this very old and interesting inn, and church. As it was a hot day we had our very filled and delicious warm baps in the garden. We all (6) very much relaxed and enjoyed our food and the men enjoyed their beers Although the tables were almost all taken, we were quickly served . We then went on to the church. A truly memorable day.
