Public Houses, Bars and Inns in Epsom and Ewell
The Red Lion & Cellar Room in Betchworth near Epsom & Ewell is located in the rolling Surrey Hills between Reigate & Dorking. The public house prides itself on offering exactly what an English pub should: an inviting bar area where guests can enjoy everyday casual eating and drinking, gardens with plenty of seats available to enjoy in the summer months and a patio area that's a wonderful sun trap - perfect for alfresco dining.
There's 6 of us old gits who meet for lunch every month. We have not been here before and we came because of the covid 19 regulations requiring us to be outside.
Covid 19 issues first: the pub is very aware of its responsibilities and acts accordingly. There's a one way system to/from the car park. There's sanitiser available in a number of places outside and also on every table. We were greeted outside and then showed to our table in the marquee. The is a NHS QR code reader on every table. Menus are paper and presumably disposable. Seating is adequately spaced. Staff wore masks all the time. So good and thorough all round.
Moving on, the December Xmas menus is fine, although no fish 'n chips! The burger choice is exceptional. The Hophead beer is always a most welcome draught to have available, one of the best. We all thought the food was very nice. I had the hand made steak and ale pie: huge!
Service was very good and friendly even though the marquee was very busy, fully booked in fact.
We did agree that we are likely to use this venue again particularly as long as covid 19 issues remain in force.
