The Brewery Inn — Restaurant in Mole Valley

After me and my 3 other friends (one of whom is 18 years of age so is legally responsible) were rejected from the awful pub down the road which is the Woodman because apparently we needed a “guardian”, (although the 18 year old is our guardian so they either have imbeciles employed there, or their imbecilic owners are forcing moronic and spontaneous rules on their employees), we took a 15 minute walk in 5 degrees down to this boozer through the park. We most definitely had our doubts because we were just rejected from the Woodman, however, upon entry, we were greeted by the most warm and welcoming staff and were sat down to eat very swiftly. Not only was the food very good, but the atmosphere was very very nice as well, most definitely not too loud but also had a very nice ambience with a toasty fireplace. Very comforting. So the night went from being rejected from the grubbiest, busiest and most awful pub ever to being accepted to this absolute gem of a boozer. Not only that, but I was allowed to drink as I was having a meal and was accompanied by an 18 year old, something that the rubbish Woodman did not let me do, even though we literally had an 18 year old, with ID!!!! Thank you brewery inn, you saved our night. And you made it great as well, God bless you all and keep being legends, because for as long as you’re legends, I’m a customer for sure.

Ps. Readers, if you can’t be bothered to read all this, essentially: Go here for a drink and food, DO NOT GO TO THE WOODMAN ON BARNET WOOD LANE. It sucks and all the employees hate you as well as themselves. This place is most definitely the place to be in Ashtead. Go...

I wanted to share feedback regarding our recent Christmas party booking for 16 staff at your venue. Unfortunately, the experience did not meet our expectations, especially for such a special occasion.

Here are a few points that stood out: No festive atmosphere: The tables were not laid out for a party, and there were no Christmas decorations or lights to create a festive mood. It didn’t feel like a Christmas celebration at all. Lack of music: There was no music, and we had to ask the staff to put some on, which detracted from the overall ambiance. No cocktails available: We were disappointed to find that there were no cocktails on offer, which is something many of our team members were looking forward to. General experience: Many of our staff, some with over 15 years of experience attending Christmas parties, commented that this was the most boring one they had attended.

We appreciate the effort your team may have put into the event, but it fell far short of what we anticipated, especially given the season and the nature of our booking. Unfortunately, this experience has led us to decide that we will not be booking future events at The Brewery Inn.

Thank you for taking the time to consider our feedback. We hope it helps improve future events for...

We went visited this lovely looking pub for dinner and we're initially impressed by the menu. Once we decided what we wanted the more senior looking waitress came over to take our order. I ordered the mixed grill and my brother in law, the rib eye steak. My nephew, because he was 4 got ordered a tomato pasta with garlic bread. When our meal arrived the presentation was average. The Rib Eye was full of fat and gristle and did not resemble rib eye so my brother in law left around 70% of it as it was inedible. My mixed grill arrived looking a little worse for wear and if it wasn't for my state of hunger I would have left most of it, I soldiered on and ate 50%. My nephews pasta came out in a small bowl, it was so hot we had to empty it out and let it cool for 5 minutes as his first mouthful burnt his tongue We found the head waitress to be short and left us feeling as though we were annoying her by asking questions. The drinks side of things was ok. We decided the menu flattered to deceive and as such will not...
