What a fantastic birthday present. Table booked for 12:30 starters arrived 12:35 and mains 5 mins after our starter plates were collected. We all chose something other than the traditional roast and I must say it was all beautifully prepared. When we decided to all have a dessert we were told that it would be 8 to 10 mins wait which is fine as it gave me time to submit this review. If ever in the area please look this place up you won't be disappointed.

Excellent food. Good choice including separate vegan and vegetarian menu. Mackerel pate was lovely with zesty flavour and 'proper' toast (individually sliced). Haloumi with sweet chilli sauce received big thumbs up too. Both has the fresh fried fish with mashed peas and home made chips. Really good.

We havenât been here for many years as itâs not local but are pleased to have rediscovered the Queens Head and it was obvious from the big but busy Thursday lunch time car park that itâs a popular venue. Deservedly so from our experience. Service was welcoming and patient not pushing us to order quickly and was polite and clear to explain when one of the specials would take longer to cook. We had wine by the glass - all eminently drinkable - some breads to start and then mains and shared desserts between each couple. The portion sizes were ample. Everything tasty. Average £30 a head. The interior decor is nicely done and there is a pleasant buzz to the place so we will definitely be back soon. I would have given 5 stars if the veg had been less tough - my husbandâs kale and my broccoli were underdone even by modern day standards. The table for 4 was also a bit cramped. Hi ChristineB796Thank you so much for your review and we too are pleased you have re-found us.Some great feedback which we will share with the team and our apologies about the vegetables, we will always cook them al dente, but please let us know if you would like them softer, and if there is anything not to your liking with the meal let us know at the time and we will always try and fix it whilst you are there.We look forward to your future visits,Kind regards,Alex and The Queens Head Team

Externally the pub looks fantastic and the flowers looked after. I ordered a 3 Guinness and it tasted off. Also one person in the group had battered bread with some very old salami it tasted awful and charged £12.Hi guys.I did not see this coming to be honest, considering a few of your friends are regulars eaters at the pub and come so often to enjoy my homemade food. Obviously wasnât you!You had a lot more than 3 Guinness, considering it was a pub crawl! And I did not get any leftover in any glass! Really weird! Your friend order whatever was quick because you needed to move to the next pub and that was a platter with amazing traditional coccoli with Tuscan salami, which I get fresh from italy every week. If he did not understand it was bread I can even get that and apologise if the explanation wasnât fair enough to be understood, but he should have told me and I was going to fix making something else. Saying that tho, how are you complaint for food you did not even buy or taste yourself? Iâm shocked by how you guys are managing pub crawls nowadays.Maybe next time, come and complaint to me instead of wasting time writing on here for an experience which is not even fair to measure the quality of my restaurant pub.

Ideal place for mealtimes and friends get-togethers.The atmosphere is intimate and the interior is well designed, comfy and traditional. The staff and service are efficient and personable.The menu is diverse and all food is well prepared. Great puddings. Not a drinker but beers and wines a plenty for those who do. They take dogs in the bar area. The garden area is big and attractive. Only slight issue is the access off the road which is a bit of a gamble. Priced okay; not cheap but not a rip off. My favourite eatery. Try not to go there as it will get too busy.

A lovely old beamed building in the Surrey Hills plays host to this sensational restaurant. Couldn't fault it. Perfect service, wonderful freshly baked bread, a varied menu where every course was perfect and reasonably priced (£70 for 2 people for 3 courses). Book now! You won't be disappointed!

Just a fleeting visit - our first one to the Gallery Café - and we loved the location and the ambiance. A sunny, secluded courtyard very well appointed. Emma looked after us very well - thank you - and our coffee and cake were just what the doctor ordered. We'll definitely be back!Thank you very much! We look forward to seeing you again

really great geographical situation; food was good but have we missed the boat on "pub food" in 2019?To anyone reading this review, I've actually been in contact with the reviewer who confirmed that this review was in fact for another Plough in the area (there are about 6 of us, 'Ostentatious' was the first clue that it might not have been us). Unfortunately, Tripadvisor wont remove the review (even though they have had confirmation that it is in fact posted to the wrong location) and the user doesn't know how to delete it. So please ignore it.CheersGeorge
