"The staff at the restaurant were very friendly and the roasts were delicious. However, the restaurant was busy and we ended up waiting for an hour for our meal, which was difficult as we had a toddler with us. Unfortunately, no one informed us of the long wait or updated us on the status of our order. While the roasts were tasty and good value, the Nabenburger was better than the Brat but served cold. We were also not offered any additional drinks. It's disappointing because it's a beautiful place, but these issues need to be addressed in the future."

"Overall, a very mixed experience. Our server, Antonio, was fantastic! He was funny and entertaining and really looked after us. The lobster pasta was absolutely fantastic as was the tiramisu and the focaccia. However, we were let down slightly as the calamari wasn’t fresh and our steaks were overdone. Would go back but would try different things as the atmosphere and service were great but would want to see if other dishes matched the standard of the lobster."

"The staff at the restaurant were friendly and the roasts were tasty. However, despite the restaurant being busy, we waited over an hour for our meal. We had a toddler with us and no one informed us of the long wait or provided updates. We had to ask where our food was. The roasts were good value, but my husband's burger, which was more expensive than the roast, was served cold. We were disappointed that no offers were made for another drink. This experience may deter us from returning in the future, which is unfortunate as the venue seemed nice."

"Turned up after making a booking on open table and were told we had only booked for 2 people then told we would have to sit in the bar even though the restaurant was half empty and instructed to get a drink from the bar while we waited. 5 minutes later we were told we did have a booking and that it was for 3 people no apology for messing us about. Then we looked at the menu and waitress came to take out order only to be told that what we wanted had run out! Dreadful place don't think I'd hurry back as some of the staff are just rude!"

"We came as a group of 17 to celebrate my mums 70th birthday and couldn't fault it. All of our food was brought out at the same time (apart from 1 which had been forgotten but quickly dealt with). Our waitress was fantastic and looked after us very well. Everyone said they wouldn't hesitate to book with you again for all our large gatherings. We normally go elsewhere but they would only offer us a festive menu so lost our booking and we're glad they did. Price per person: £20–30 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: House Burger"

"Very nice cosy and welcoming atmosphere, all the steaks had a small bit of fat but the taste made it value for money. The fish dishes were only comparable to the taste of sheer luxury and the waiter was friendly in describing the exotic tastes so we know as much as we can about what we are ordering and you better be placing your bets that they were right. I am told by the people who accompanied me on this meal that the strawberry sling cocktail was ‘fruity, delicious and highly recommended to other gin-lovers’. Everything from the herbs used in the Caesar sauce to the exact time the steak was cooked for and the bubbles in the Pepsi to the size of the chips was catered for and worth the money, 24 hours a day, everyday of the week, 365 days of the year! Would recommend."

"Lovely setting. Heard good things about the food but it was disappointing. Had Sunday roast beef and it was cold, everything was under done. I feel that maybe it was rushed through and not quite ready to serve. I like my veg al dente but this was almost raw, I couldn’t get my knife through the cauliflower cheese and the roast potatoes were hard on the inside and barely crispy on the outside. Gravy was nice. Shame as lovely pub and staff were pleasant. I did let the waiting staff know at the start of the meal and the end but there was no effort to put it right or offer a discount they just apologised and said they’d feedback to the kitchen. I wouldn’t rush to go back but I’d like to try it again in the summer months as looks like a lovely place to sit outside in the sunshine."

"Came here for a Birthday Dinner last week and had a great experience. The menu was great, a good selection of Meals and Roasts (as it was a Sunday) and despite it being a Sunday evening everything was still available. The food was well presented and fresh I couldn't fault it. Service was great slightly slow but that's if I had to nit-pick something of the evening it would be that. The drinks and food are fairly priced and portions are great too. The atmosphere is very homely pub and the tables are nicely spaced so you're not sat on top of each other. I would definitely return for another meal here."

"Booked for Sunday dinner. Arrived and ordered drinks and told staff it was our first visit here. We were shown to our table promptly but not told we had to order meal at bar so we sat there for a while and after about 15 minutes went to bar to order. Attempted to order 4 trio roast dinners for our party. Was told none left so I tried ordering the roast beef and told none left. Reluctantly we ended up ordering the turkey. However, potatoes were overdone and no stuffing which was supposed to be part of the meal and the portion for the money was a bit on the mean side. We ate our meals and left promptly. As we were still hungry we ended up getting a kebab straight after. I would absolutely give this place a wide berth and not recommend based on our experience which is a shame because it's sited next to a great open space, Coulsdon Common.."

"We choose Grange Farm as a preferred opportunity for our Friday dinner instead of eating locally in the city centre. (Choosing to pay £16 to get you by taxi) Usually we would not have any complaints about the food. My partner ordered the Lamb Shank and for the price of £20 we had the impression that the price-performance ratio did not meet the usual standards of Grange Farm. He had to attack for vegetables because there was hardly anything served with the dish. I went with a traditional gammon and eggs, and I also felt underwhelmed by him (even if it was at least £8 less), as we often had in Greene King Pubs and had better. Needless to say, our waitress Jess was brilliant, bar staff were as attentive as they are usually and how the alcohol flows, the disappointing food does not ruin our night. Perhaps the chef could revise the offer of both dishes!"

"I had booked in advance as previous visits have been full, but it was quiet this time. The staff were friendly and efficient, and not intrusive. My partner's Belly pork meal was fantastic. We were too full from our mains to try dessert. The gin menu with tonic/mixer recommendations looked interesting, will have to try it next time!"

"Waited a fair while for someone to take a drinks order so OH went to the bar. While he was there waiting to be served we had our drinks order taken at the table but that was about 25 mins after getting there. Was really looking forward to a steak. Was given menus but wasn’t told they had no steak until it was time to order. Then I felt compelled to quickly make another choice and ended up with a burger. I never order burgers. It wasn’t what I had planned for our Anniversary meal but it was ok. Unfortunately for us we had a table of 4 very loud know it alls next to us which stopped me being able to hear what my husband was saying. Not a fault of the restaurant of course. All in all the quality of the food was good and the servers were excellent if a bit slow. Not sure I will ever go back though."

"Family meal for 3 Adults and two teenagers on a busy Friday night. Had not visited the Ox for about two years. Considerable amount of development since then. Menu catered well for two 'picky teenagers ' and three more adventurous adults, all agreed that it was the best meal out they had had for a long while. Prices are not cheap but the standard and menu choice was well up to the prices charged."

"From the moment we walked in to leaving we were made to feel very welcome by professional staff who were happy cheerful and engaged well with their customers. Waiting staff knew the menu and made recommendations if needed. From ordering to table was relativly quick. The food was well presented hot fresh and very tasty. The whole ambience of this establishment was spot on. Would recommend booking as usually busy. A great place for a great meal."

"Great facility. Comfortable and cosy setting. Service could’ve been better as the lady that we spoke to wasn’t that friendly. Thankfully we managed to get a table as it was quite busy. We weren’t looking for a large meal but instead decided to order a few starters as small plates. My favourite was the Halloumi fries. The seasoning on them was superb. We also got maple glazed chicken wings, which were good, salt and pepper calamari was spot on, slow roasted tomato arancini was ok and the stone-baked flatbread was great and finally the Camembert bites were fine. We did think that it was quite expensive considering that the quantity of food was quite low in some of the dishes but we were overall happy with our meal."

"I was pleasantly impressed with the interior, even though it was a mix of american dinner with the odd thai statue about it seemed to work and was comfortable. I ordered a couple of things that when they came out where not as the menu, the martini came with lemon not olives as described and the burgers came out with ciabatta rolls that tasted like they had not been heated, instead of foccacia as described. The food was quite nice, but why on a bamboo type tray? and the chips in a bowl, so you have no room to cut your food and the bamboo thing moves every time you try to slice something, and not as hygienic as a normal ceramic plate. Masterchef has a lot to answer for! All in all just ok, wouldn't rush back."

"This welcoming pub has tasteful decor and attentive, professional staff. The open fire was a lovely touch on a chilly day. The menu offers a great variety of food to suit everyone's tastes. The 'drink and small dessert' option was exceptional value for money. I would like to thank Suz for the recommendation. The price per person is between £20-£30. Food, service, and atmosphere all receive a perfect score of 5."

"We’ve eaten at the crooked chimney many times over the years with mixed experiences. It’s a nice pub and very convenient for stopping off after a country walk with the dog but I don’t think I will be organising a ‘special occasion’ meal there again in a hurry. We went for Father’s Day and there was a fixed 3 course menu, which had a good choice. The problem wasn’t the food it was getting it! We were there late afternoon and it wasn’t busy but every course seemed to rake an age to arrive. That said when the roasts finally did arrive they were very nice. I guess they must just have a real staffing issue in the kitchen and can’t get the food out quick enough. After 2 courses taking an hour and half to complete and then waiting over 1/2 an hour for our desserts we decided to call it a day! The staff were very apologetic and gave us a reduced rate as we had only had 2 courses and a discount but it was a real shame. We noticed on our way out they were doing food deliveries and wondered whether this was part of the problem concentrating on delivering meals rather than their restaurant customers?! Anyway it won’t deter us popping in when out walking but not for a preplanned meal out."

"Myself and my partner had a Sunday roast each here yesterday. We both had pork belly starter which was absolutely gorgeous and cannot be faulted. I had the roast beef lunch whilst my partner had the lamb. Both our dinners were nice but the roast potatoes felt like they’d been re-heated after being left standing for a while. I had a couple of Peroni’s and neither of us had desert but the bill still came to £97. The starters were £11 each and as I say, we couldn’t fault them but £25 for a roast dinner seems and was steep for the size of meal we received. They were tasty but I don’t think they were £25 tasty. The place itself is a nice setting and the atmosphere was decent, though."
