Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews

Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.

When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.

Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Down to Earth pub

Aug 2022 • none

Nice beers, large garden, parking, good food, what more would you want in a pub? Perfect in good weather, still great when the weather is bad!

Spur of the moment stop.

Jun 2018 • family

Called in at the last minute for food before a long journey home. We got there just before the kitchen was closing and there were 8 of us. The staff were more than happy to serve us some food. The steak pie was absolutely gorgeous. The only negative comment I have about the food was the mash was very bland and didn't really taste of anything. Overall a very welcoming pub and he lived nearer would definitely go again.

Food fantastic but spoilt by cruelty to the dog

Oct 2018 • family

I'm torn as to how to rate this place as although the welcome, the locals and the food were all excellent we had a very disappointing experience overall. On arrival we noticed the sign saying 'no under 14's in the bar area.' As we had our 14 month old grandson with us my husband went in to check first and we were told we could go into the garden. Luckily for us it was a warm October day. No highchairs available but clearly not a family friendly pub. The main problem for us was the resident dog, a year old massive 'puppy' who was uncontrollable, put his face right up to the baby in the pushchair and was barking loudly. We were warned that the dog would grab items and run off with them so 'be careful.' This was all said in the spirit of being helpful but when you're responsible for keeping a baby safe it was scary. Many of the people in the pub who obviously knew the dog well tried to keep him away but were unsuccessful and the baby became terrified. They all kept apologising, which was appreciated, but we weren't able to relax and enjoy our food. After we had finished eating another gentleman came out and eventually caught the dog by the scruff of the neck, walked him right past us and smacked him about the head. I said 'please don't hit him, it's not his fault.' The man replied that this is the only way he will learn. Now I grew up with dogs and never did I ever feel the need to wallop one to train them. On a more positive note the lady who cooked the food was lovely, the steak pie really was home made and delicious. She spent a while chatting to us and she also tried to keep the dog away from the baby. It's a shame I wouldn't feel comfortable to come back because a) it's not family friendly and b) the cruelty shown to the poor dog.

Very good food

Apr 2018 • couples

My husband and I have been here several times now and not been disappointed. Surprised to find a large car park off the main road. Pa is a delight and very proud of her cooking. I must say, several times now I've had the scampi and chips which I've thoroughly enjoyed and my husband's steak pie was like home-made accompanied by a jug of gravy. (Pies are usually full of air and very little meat, but not these!) On another occasion, my husband and son had the chilli which was delicious. So nice to find a pub that really is an old-style pub and not a bistro pub. Service all round was very friendly and the place has a great atmosphere. Also nice that children under a certain age are not permitted......

Lunchtime disappointment

Apr 2018 • solo

Heard a lot about how good this Thai food was ( albeit last entry Jan 2018) so I thought I'd try it. Wow what a disappointment in contrast to the previous reviews on here. Ordered Pad Thai, a staple and one of my favourites. Took a while to arrive even though no one else eating but what the heck, at least it'll be fresh right? Wrong. Absolutely flavour less stodge arrived. Overcooked and chicken dry & hard, cut to 2 mm widths. No spring onions (Or so I mistakenly thought.) I pushed it to one side after a couple of attempts and was clocked by the landlord (a good fella from previous experience who serves good beer) who obviously told the Thai chef. 'The chef' asked what was wrong and I told her. She searched the meal and found a tiny spring onion (apologies all round as so small, I missed it on my search.) Told her I cooked better myself and to her credit she offered a refund which I took, appology sadly spoilt by the ' Enjoy your own cooking' comment as she walked off. Good pub lousy thai food. You may be luckier if I caught her on a cynical off day but if not you've been warned......

excellent food!

Jan 2018 • friends

It was a discovery to have dinner here. the Thai food was really good, looked fresh and appetising and was really tasty; the best Thai food I had in England; the lady of the house cooks herself and is a warm hearted person - the interior of the pub is a bit basic but who cares if the food is great and the treatment and service is also very good (nearly forgot to say: the value was good! 4 friends paid 45 Pounds for 4 best quality main courses which were plenty of food, without drinks)

Best Thai food ever

Oct 2017 • friends

Having had a lovely family Sunday lunch here before of roast lamb and roast beef, I suggested a visit to a couple of friends for the Thai curry night on Saturday evening. Between us we had both the red and green curries which we all agreed were the best we had ever tasted. Pa served the food herself and said everything is freshly prepared. The curries on a Saturday night are only £8.50 which includes a mixed starter and are worth every penny. the pub has a very friendly atmosphere and a good range of beers available, will definitely be going back for more of the best pub food I have ever tasted, try it and I am sure you will not be disappointed

Best Thai food you are likely to eat!

Jun 2017 • solo

The Thai food here is better than any Thai restaurant that I have been to and it is very reasonable in price. Sometimes there is a small wait for food if it is busy however that is because she cooks everything fresh and it is well worth the wait. Try it as it is like a hidden gem! The pub also has a really nice feel to it.

No doubt its a local traditional pub. First thing that struck me was how friendly this place was. Very nice energy. Wish I could spend more time. Hopefully soon.

Very hospitable!

Mar 2017 • couples

It is a real locals pub with lovely food served by Pa herself. We had a delicious mixed starter followed by red and green Thai curries. All cooked with fresh ingredients. The Bisley locals are a great bunch who are always up for a friendly chat and always make a fuss of our Staffy dog. The beer is well kept. Background music great. Hard to fault it.

Local Traditional Pub

Jun 2016 • family

First visit in many year's. Hen & Chicks always had a good local feel and on my visit found it to be good atmosphere and food was good pub food! My one niggle was some local lads at the bar (being lunchtime visit) using F word in conversation Unpleasant to have to listen to I felt!
