The Shy Horse

Above average for this type of pub . Good quantity and quality of food overall, with exception of soaking wet lettuce leaf with the prawn cocktail starter - watered down the sauce. The Duck Parfait starter was also very good, but could have done with juSt one more slice of bread. The roast mains were good all round

We stopped here for lunch not realising that it was part of the Vintage Inns chain. The food was good, as was the service and value for money. I'm in my early 60s and my wife and I were the youngest customers there. The only reason that I rated it four instead of five stars was the toilets. Whilst they were relatively clean both the gents and ladies smelt really bad.

A nice treat out for my birthday. Thr food is ok even if it was a bit on the cold side. Decided to try the cloudy lemonade with additional fruit in it. The cloudy lemonade and passion fruit was the winner. This was sharp and a good mixture. However if you like the sweeter ones the raspberry was my second choice with the strawberry one last as it was far too sweet for my palate. My starter was the prawn cocktail. This would have been better with shredded ice burg instead of little gems. There were no compaints about the calamari. The sticky chicken portion was small (3 pieces) but nice so i'm told. For the mains everyone had the roast except one who had the hunters chicken. The beef was extremely tender and my husband loved the gravy. Unfortunately i forgot to take pictures except for one.

Spent a day in Chessington World of Adventures and then gathered in The Shy Horse for a slap up meal. Our choice of food, funny enough, was not that varied. The eight of us had bugers or the beef and ale pie. The food was quite good and there was enough of it. The burgers seemed to go down well. The pies tasted nice but the beef could have done with an extra 30mins cooking to make it really tender, as it was a wee bit tough but still nice. My only small complaint really is that there was no table service, as in a waiter or waitress taking your order. I say this because the place is set out as a restaurant/pub. It was a quiet night there, as it was a Monday, so it just would have added some more professionalism to the place. The staff were friendly however and I would certainly go back.

Went with my mother using a complimentary 40% discount voucher recent on an email. Although very short staffed the service was reasonable. Fortunately we were in time to have the last two home-made pies of the day each, beef in red wine sauce, as our main course which was extremely hot and flavoursome. One served with spring onion mash, the other with chunky fries. Both also had a good selection of fresh, steamed vegetables. We both had a starter each, again very tasty! Crispy fried brie bites & creamy garlic mushrooms. Only drawback were the group of children running through from the garden and leaving the doors open causing it to be a little chilly, but soon rectified by the waitress.

Pleasant, evidently well maintained, establishment. Shame about the food. I ate here last week as part of a party of 4 adults, three young children and a baby. The staff were attentive and friendly, but rushed off their feet. The menu choice was limited and the Adults food was mediocre when it arrived. But the kids all enjoyed their meals (which were all better than my meal) and there was plenty of space for the kids to run around outside (although no playground). If I lived locally I'd very probably visit again - but I'd make sure I was good and hungry before ordering food for myself.

We dropped into the shy horse on our travels - had some delicious dinner one evening and came back the next day for a delicious breakfast. Quick and lovely service (by Jade? and great options for breakfast - both healthy and those for the bigger appetites. Shame to hear they’re looking to stop the brunch menu - I think it’s time for the community to rally around the Shy Horse so they can bring back the brunch menu and keep the pub vibes going!
