Fox And Hounds - Tandridge

I have passed this pub many times on our way home and thought it looked very inviting. We went there for a family Sunday lunch and I was quite disappointed. Being a lovely day we had our meal in the garden where there was a wooden galleon for the grand children to play on. The garden itself has seen better days, the galleon had a slide , it was fairly steep but the problem lie at the bottom of it. There was just dirt and holes with black plastic sheeting starting to come through the dirt. All the adults had a roast, three were the lamb, this had a lot of sinew and appeared to be the end of the joint being small pieces of meat not slices. The pub had an offer for children where they had a free meal for each adult in the party. Apparently this does not include the desert, I was not aware of this, two children asked if they could have a mixture . When I ordered them there was no mention I would be charged double the price plus the child that had one flavour was given two scopes which was double the price.

We 've been to the F&H many times over the years and it has always been good. However, today we enquired about the Hake in sauce vierge, on the specials menu, as my wife has Coeliac disease. Despite the allergens menu saying 'no gluten ', the chef said there was 'flour in the stock. ' As nothing else GF appealed, we left and I had to abandon a very pleasant pint rather than drive elsewhere without having eaten. I have looked at over a dozen sauce vierge recipes and can find none with either flour or stock. The constant sound of a microwave ping was a little disconcerting as well. Barmaid very friendly and apologetic. Vierge is a classic sauce, don 't mess with the classics !

A lovely friendly pub, great attentive staff, the food is first rate and the drinks are well kept. I’ve been a few times now and have enjoyed every one

Delicious food, staff very friendly and helpful, the specials menu is one of the best I’ve seen in terms of variety. Can’t wait to return!

The best roast I’ve had in a long time! The staff are so welcoming and friendly ! a 10 out of 10 and highly recommend!
