please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Closed for refurbishment during most of December.
But reopened, just before Christmas.
Work tastefully done, the pub looks very well.
And concentrates, largely, on food.

The Blenheim has had a bad reputation in the past but in the 70's it was a very
popular pub. More recently it has seen a very good revival, mainly due to the new managers. There has been events all year round; Easter egg hunts, summer bbqs, halloween, old peoples party to name a few and loads of charity events throughout the whole year.
The pub is part of the Epsom & Ewell Darts and pool leagues as well as having entertainment every Friday night.
It is a traditional Pub which is safe and everyone is friendly. Families use it all the time.
I agree it was bad for a number of years but it is one of the best in Epsom now with a very good atmosphere and has a very long history.

DO NOT COME TO THIS PUB IT IS UNSAFE ( THE MANAGERS KNOW THIS BUT ALL THEY WANT IS THERE % ) IT IS A *HIT HOLE

What an absolute shit hole bar staff miserable glassware dirty toilets rotten and stink
WIPE YOUR FEET ON THE WAY OUT

Large pub in a basically residential area. The bar is in the middle with large rooms either side. The lefthand side appears to be reserved for sports i.e. darts and pool while the righthand side has basic wooden chairs and tables. Bare floorboards abound. Very poor utilisation is made of the space available. It feels more like an old style public bar and is not very inviting. There is no real ale only Greene King IPA smooth - yuck! It is not worth even a casual visit.

regarding all your comments about this pub let me update you on a few things first of all it is a very friendly pub compared to some posh pubs a woman could not feel comfortable on her own but at least when you go into the blenham they look after you. Someone said it was full of pikeys well excuse me I am no pikey and I go in The staff and customers are the most friendlies people I know if small minded peolpe gave this pub another go it could really make a go of things as the old reputation has long gone so come on you stick in the muds give it another chance.

opps sorry about the facorite you know what I meant really.
|
as the anonymous person unwittingly said;
more and more new people in epsom are picking The Blenheim as one of their facorite pubs in Epsom
indeed FACORITE is the exact word i would use.

This Pub is changing graduly to be a more modern pub.
The comments of the past are now historic and do not do justice to The Blenheim.
The regulars are a friendly bunch of people that will go out of their way to help a stranger that comes into the pub.
Also the pub is going to host a new curry shop with all the traditional indian meals that will be cooked by chief's from the Masala curry house in Epsom.
In the near future traditional English will also be offered on a daily basis.
There is a bright future for this pub as more and more new people in epsom are picking The Blenheim as one of their facorite pubs in Epsom.

what a miserable shit hole of a pub. full of pikeys and other dross. Avoid it like the plague. yuk
|
I used to live around the corner from this place but I never considered this as my local. It frightened the shit out of me. Perhaps the locals going in there with their pitbulls put me off.

Changed hands many times although the same old faces are there time and time again. More of a mature crowd, although you wouldn't want to spill their pint.

Good for an afternoon's footy watching. Mixed crowd but generally friendly even if they are generally Chelsea fans. Cheap-ish beer. Traditional old-blokes pub - not many left these days
