The Restaurant @ Chalk Lane in Epsom and Ewell

Really enjoyed our family evening, everyone enjoyed their delicious food, very nicely presented, friendly staff, looked after allergy requirements. Would recommend a vist.

We enjoyed a lovely lunch at this Epsom Grumpy Mole, with friendly and efficient service. We have eaten at several other Grumpy Moles and in terms of the food quality this one was slightly under par. My husband's stone for his steak wasn't as hot as it could have been, so he struggled to "cook" his steak to his liking. My liver wasn't as tender as I have had at other venues, but that may be due to the luck of the draw rather than the quality of cooking. We certainly enjoyed our meals though, and my side vegetables were absolutely delicious.Regarding wine, I wouldn't recommend the House Chilean Sauvignon Blanc, it tastes really cheap and metallic.It's very cosy inside, we actually sat in the bar area rather than the restaurant part, as we wanted a more informal experience.There are very few parking spaces available, so expect to park on the road outside.Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this venue, as well as good food and service, it has a warm and inviting atmosphere.

Had the afternoon tea option to celebrate 2 birthdays (70) and there were 12 of us. The event had been booked well in advance but the table was laid up for a late lunch/early dinner! The tea/coffee was served first and had started to cool considerably by the time it was sorted out and the food arrived. The scones and cream were good but the sandwiches were small with very meagre fillings. The cakes were minute little offerings. I live in the West Country so the bar for a Cream Tea is, admittedly, a high one. I've eaten at the Grumpy Mole in the evening and it was much better!

I eat out a lot and so I say this with some considerable experience: the meal I had here recently was the best I've had in years. 3 courses and each one was perfect. Service was prompt, polite and professional. I look forward to coming back on a regular basis.

Food is outstanding, there were 6 of us all with different orders and everyone really enjoyed enjoyed all 3 courses. The service was exemplary, a perfect balance of professional and naturally friendly, the likes of which is so hard to pull off. We will definitely be repeat customers.

Really great food and service! Was here for an event eith 50 people and it was seamless. Lamb was really really good also!

Absolutely loved it. Lovely atmosphere, deco and staff. Top quality food at a very reasonable price. Food was cooked to perfection. We will definitely return again and again.

The food really was excellent. After our meal, due to the restaurant being very busy, the table was booked for another party. They quickly set us up in the bar instead with a make shift table where we stayed for a good couple of hours. I recommend it and will go again.

Such a hidden gem. Had dinner there last night, where we sat outside in the covered patio with heaters on. It was raining but it was fantastic! Nice atmosphere and great food! Will be going back there again

Our first time here. Staff were amazingly polite and happy. We sat in the covered terrace area and other than an unstable and sloping table, the whole experience was good. We had the roast dinner which was good but the cauliflower was stone cold although everything else was at an acceptable temperature...odd? Desserts were good also. Will definitely become a frequent visitor. The only let down, which isn't really a fault of the establishment, is the amount of patrons who take dogs to this pub and can't control them. One dog jumped up at our table on 3 separate occassions and although we love dogs ourselves, the fact that the owners have little awareness was a bit off putting. 2 x wines, 2 x roasts, 2 x desserts and a soft drink £65.
