"Those who follow these pubs from a local perspective will remember this as being The New Inn until around 2017. Heard mixed reviews from various people on the previous incarnation, I 'm not one to drag on a pub for being bad, there is always an audience for a manky Stella and a comfortable view of the footy, but it 's hard to imagine it was as good as the pub is now albeit a subjective opinion. Taken over in 2017 by Luke Heloise after a successful stint as landlords in Bristol at The Victoria Park, this family owned, independent pub floats under the radar landing somewhere between those train stations you wake up at if you miss your stop at Surbiton although still not quite near anything. Walkable though, and an enjoyable one at that. The quaint backstreets of Long Ditton, various parks and a Cricket Green, give way to this inviting pub, that I 've been drawn back to a handful of times, and another one where I wondered why I hadn 't been there sooner. Met immediately with the bar, there 's a healthy mix of accessible craft and it 's fairly priced too. High Wire which I hadn 't seen in ages was clocking in under £6, and it 's the little touches like the matching glassware for Lervig, Tiny Rebel and Magic Rock that make the difference sometimes. Cask from locals such as Park Brewery too you are spoiled for choice. Inside it 's spacious, comfortable, and outside it 's enclosed, quiet a place for the kids to play and even space for the dog to run about. The staff are lovely and helpful, spoke to Luke for a bit too always nice to meet the head honcho in these places. We came back for food again, there 's loads to go at. From picky bits to pizzas and what was voted the best Roast Dinner in South England (2017) too. I 'd imagine if people weren 't desperate to go on their holidays, this place would usually be buzzing over the weekend. Shame it took me so long to find this pub, but it 's one I 'll be coming back to regularly. Just so happens to be at the end of one of the dogs favourite parks. Winner."

Visited this lovely pub with family and had a wonderful experience. Great choice of gins, lovely wines and fantastic food. The owners are so welcoming .. as are the regulars.

Generally, a not a bad pub, although a little expensive and decidedly unimpressive when it comes to food. The only downside is that it turns into a cross between oik central and a creche come the weekend.

You need to rethink how you treat your customers, last orders should mean last orders for everyone, not just the 4 people sat at the table who the landlord doesn’t know. There is a reason why this pub isn’t as popular as it should, it has such potential! This would be considered our local pub but we won’t be going back. Always know your audience.

Avoid! Was aprehensive on arrival as for a Sunday lunchtime there were hardly any other diners, we were a table of 5 with a toddler and waited over 25mins after already seeing ourselves to menus due to slow and unresponsive bar staff, my partner then went to the bar to order drinks and food to be greeted by a relative of the bar staff who was unnecessarily rude and abusive and belittling for no apparent reason, so much so that we decided we could not stay. I will never be going back here, and would suggest if you are in the area to avoid unless you like slow and miserable service that you practically have to beg for!

This bar has a really nice selection of beers but unfortunately the current staff leave a lot to be desired. We arrived on a Friday evening and asked if the kitchen was still serving food. The girls behind the bar told us no as they don't have any kitchen staff. We did then ask if it would be ok if we ordered food from outside to be delivered to the pub and they said no. This was understandable, but we were then slightly disappointed when they ordered a pizza to be delivered to the pub and proceeded to eat it on the bar while laughing that we should have been better prepared and had dinner before coming to the pub. Not the most customer friendly attitude.
