Ye Old Ship — Restaurant in Tandridge

A real shame. Visited today for a Sunday roast with our visiting family. I was embarrassed. Upon waking in the sterile atmosphere was made worse by the smell - it smelled so strongly like a hairdressers. The girls behind the bar were a mixed bag but our waitress was very pleasant. The food was mediocre at best and did not warrant the price. The promise of a roast with "all the trimmings" was not delivered. We got three roast potatoes, veg, meat and gravy. No stuffing with the chicken. I asked about a Yorkshire pudding but was told we couldn't get them as they were only served with beef. This is fair enough, however the table next to us who were clearly friends of the owners were given a whole separate plate of them upon request. Completely ridiculous to only be good to those you know. The only good thing was that they did gluten free gravy! I echo one of the other reviews on here and say that it's such a shame for the village of Tatsfield to not have a truly warm and welcoming family pub at the centre. I will do all I can to avoid The Old Ship - they clearly don't need new clientele when they have all their friends...

A real let down to the beautiful village of Tatsfield;; residents and visitors deserve more. Drinks are overpriced, prices that are not justified considering the severe lack of atmosphere and ambience. The lighting is terrible and the indoors shabby and uncomfortable. The staff are rude and lack any warmth or customer services. No wonder the majority of local residents still flock in preference to the quality of The Bakery or the warmth and friendly nature of the village club, with realistic and respectful prices that do not take the p* thus often leaving The Old Ship embarrassingly empty on a Friday and Saturday night, especially during the winter months when the garden is out of use. As a family we would prefer to pay for a cab to any other pub than have to suffer the poor service, appalling ambiance and overpriced food and drink served in our local....

This is such a lovely, friendly pub to visit. The food was lovely, served up very hot 😋 The ladies behind the bar were so friendly and helpful. Thank you for making us feel so welcome. We were in the village because my daughter wanted to buy a chicken to replace a much loved pet. (Local chicken farm had the breed she was looking for). We ended up with two! We were allowed to take them into the bar with us whilst we had a drink before returning to Crayford and Grays respectively. Such a friendly atmosphere. Staff and regulars a like were so chatty with us. Lovely village to visit. Lots of...
