The Surrey Oaks, Newdigate

Went back to this pub as it had recently changed hands. The first thing you notice is how many more tables and chairs have been squashed into the public bar area. Couldn''t quite get my head round this till I was asked to vacate the table as a family wanted to eat.
All this said the place was quite busy, this might have been the reason why it took so long to be served(3 staff members all chatting) a pint,mind the barman was very interested in the money as he snatched it out of my hand,i stood back from the bar expecting the change to be thrown at me.
They tell me the way forward in the pub game is food and by what''s happening here we are gaining a new restaurant and loosing another local pub.

The Fox Revived, Horley

Look of the Pub 9/10
Staff 9/10
Beers 10/10
Food 5/10
I found my food cold which is a big no no,but my wife enjoyed hers.
Beer was excellent and the surroundings great,all the staff were pleasant and willing to help.
Will give it another go but already people are starting to say the food is a let down.
If they want to keep this fox 🦊 alive they are going to need an improvement in this area.
