We went for Sunday lunch during tier 2 restrictions. We had a friendly welcome and all organised and safe. We were shown to our table and had instant service to order our drinks. We had pre booked our meals and this came quickly. The food was absolutely delicious and we were both very happy with our meals. A good portion as not too big. Lovely atmosphere despite being limited on numbers. We love this pub and wanted to support it during this difficult time. We know the staff well and we are always given a warm and friendly welcome. Thank you for a lovely experience.

This pub used to be a dump. Now, the owners are brilliant, great chilled atmosphere, top quality service and fantastic food (I've gone through the menu). Get yourselves to the Old House.

Finally I have eaten in the revamped Old House, have visited quite a few times previously and just drank but always admired the food.
Had lunch a couple of weeks ago I had the fish and chips which was excellent and my colleague had the burger which he said was sublime.
Next time I visit I am definately trying the burger, oh and yes the chips are mega!
It has been said in previous reviews that the place previously was a dump it most certainly is not now.

Having lived in Dorking for over 20 years, we have never really found a local pub we would like to visit regularly....well we have now. The Old House has undergone a huge transformation and is a pleasure to visit.The owners are delightful and very friendly, decor is great, food is very good indeed and the place is so welcoming. It's not full of youngsters hell bent on getting blind drunk and aggressive; it appeals to the more discerning customer who wants to enjoy a really good evening without having to raise their voice in order to have a decent conversation. There's a great outside area too. We have started to recommend it to all our friends and family. A great place to meet, unwind and enjoy a really good meal. We're excited!!!

This is a difficult review to write as the Sunday lunch really deserves a 5 star review…but! Firstly the refurbished pub and new management are very friendly and accommodating, a large family group with excitable 3,4,5 yr olds and a babe in arms can be a difficult mix but the service was excellent and friendly throughout. Across our group we basically covered most of the roast choices and in terms of food quality, how it was prepared and presented was excellent, but the portions were just far too small for what was a £14 dish. The girls were generally satisfied but the guys commented on being hungry afterwards and when is the main course coming? One parsnip (admittedly honey glazed), three small roasties, a yorkie, a spoon of butternut squash a spoon of kale and one slice (admittedly thick) beef a Sunday roast it does not make. A trick that the much missed Highland Cottage did with their roasts was to send in plenty of extra roasties, veg and gravy with the main plates. The puds were good but a touch pricey for a pub, £5.50 for a bread and butter pud, a wee bit topsy I think. I feel somewhat mean as Dorking really needs a good dining pub and one that is reliable for a great Sunday roast. The Old House at Home could achieve this but just needs to address its VFM, either charge less keeping it under a tenner or if charge £14 make sure the portions reflect this. Shame as we won't be back, our bill was just shy of £200, a level of spend you want as regulars not just for birthdays and celebrations.

Hi..The Old House Pub…I used to use the pub back in the mid 70's and loved it..well its even better today.
Poped in for a quick pint and a sandwich on my way through Dorking…super friendly even to the dog sitting at the bar..buzzy atmosphere, great pint and v good avocado + poached egg sandwich..sat on the sofa by the log fire, great. Understand its closing for a makeover..love the old rustic wall panels and beams, don't loose them..and don't go down the trendy route: ie The White Horse…see you again soon.

Came to the Working Halls for a concert and we wanted to eat first. We came here quite by accident as we were looking for somewhere else. What a blessing. The food is absolutely delightful and the staff are really friendly. A great meal and a great venue. We will recommend to our friends and we will be back

This pub serves great food a quirky style. Very much enjoyed a Mother’s day drink in this pub. We chose to sit in secret room through the wardrobe. The outside beach huts for smokers are also very cool.

We came here for drinks after work one day. Very nice beer garden, with individual booths decorated as beach huts and outdoor heaters. Very comfortable. Good service and friendly staff. We studied the menu for a while, looked like nice food but decided to eat elsewhere in Dorking.
