Harden's survey result
Summary
Part of the four-strong Rarebreed Dining group, this polished gastroboozer just outside Cobham has made a name for its “great pub food” with a distinctly carnivorous streak – courtesy of their very own in-house butchery, where they dry-age steaks and home-smoke fish; there’s also an agreeable outdoor eating area.
Summary
Celebrating its fifth year last year, this comfortable gastropub just outside Cobham in the village of Downside attracts very solid scores all-round thanks to its “better-than-average pub food”, “friendly front of house team and a relaxed atmosphere” (“love that you can just pop in for a pint”). “Delightful outdoor eating area in summer” too.

For 31 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
