What Ruthybab doesn't like about The Griffin:
Went here for lunch. First thing that hit me as we walked in was the smell of bleach -a bit like a swimming pool . It's nice to know that the place is kept clean but a bit off putting when having a meal. My overwhelming impression was of a place that looks a bit tired and not very cosy and inviting. The carpet looked faded, the menus were slightly grubby and nobody greeted us as we came in the door. As a vegetarian I... View all feedback.
From the outset I'm biased. Having said that I love back street pubs and discovering them. This one of my favourites, even better I'm local to it. Tom great landlord of the old school. Great cellar, for maybe only a few real ales but never had a bad one. Food at reasonable rates, excellent quality. The building is very welcoming l, split between public and saloon with a real Victorian craved screen. Fabulous out door drinking in expensive comfortable seating and your bound to find a conversation from one of the clientele or at least a lick from one of the nicest pub dogs iv ever met (canine) haha.

The proper pub in Claygate! The village would be lost without it. The other pubs in the village need to up their game.
This pub, run by a family, offers fantastic food, a cozy atmosphere, comfortable indoor and outdoor seating, and most importantly, perfectly poured Guinness brought all the way from St. James Dublin.
Visited for lunch with my mum today. Pleasantly surprised by a FULL menu and all items available to order. Social distancing measures in place with friendly service and tasty starters. Outside area extremely comfy and well kept. Will definitely be back.

The carpet looked faded, the menus were slightly grubby and nobody greeted us as we came in the door. As a vegetarian I didn't feel very inspired by the menu as the only options I could see were sandwiches or baked potatoes. I opted for a baked potato which was very nice but it would have been good if there had been some options for vegans or veggies amongst the main meals. On the plus side the lady who served us was very friendly and it's nice to see a local pub still thriving a Claygate.
