The Black Horse, A Heartwood Inn - (Near Surrey, South East)

Tom Raffield As a family, we are always on the lookout for a decent breakfast. Bills has been on our radar for a while but when the kids said they were keen on pancakes, we decided to dive in and give it a go. We booked the night before and headed over in the morning. The place was really busy and had a steady turnover of people whilst we ate. We were seated and told, as it was a busy time, we had an 80 minute table time. This was not an issue as breakfast would never be a long affair for us but might be off putting for some as we were not told in advance. Our order was taken swiftly and everything arrived in good time. Two cooked breakfasts, an adult 3-stack pancakes (for our 7 year old) and a child pancakes (for our 5 year old) were dropped off at our table for us to tuck into. The food was cracking, really tasty and plenty to go around. I would happily return for another breakfast... Or to check out the lunches... Or indeed for an evening meal (child free would be nice!). The cost was more than we were used to but then we have found places where kids eat free. That said, it was still a very decent feed for a very decent price. My only gripe related to service. Whilst the waiting team were attentive and keen, this perhaps went a bit far. At one point, a waitress leant over our children whilst they were still eating to take our plates. For some this might seem attentive but for us, plates should be left until the whole table have finished. We were also asked shortly after whether we were done and yet our children were still clearly eating. Nevertheless, we were impressed with the food and setting and will definitely be back again - next time, with other breakfast lovers too! #familydadventures

Nathanael Antonio We had a very nice first visit in Nisou this month. Booked ahead to celebrate my wifes birthday and the entire process and communication was smooth. Props to their entire team for having top-notch customer service and always having a kind smile. We loved the ambience and the cozy feeling of the place. The quality of the food is excellent, very delicious and really worth your money. Would definitely recommend this place.

Rhyza Bollozos The food was really great especially the poke bowl and sushi. Personally wasn’t a fan of the tteotboki. Price was not too bad and the waiter we had was amazing and very helpful. Definitely recommend going here

Monika R Unfortunately this shop going down.....I used to love buy fresh flowers at M&S, but now second time I unpacked flowers, which unwrapped looks old straight away. Unhelpful staff on the phone.

Stuart Cameron We booked The Ivory Lounge for my 60th birthday celebration for around 70 guests, and from start to finish the experience was excellent. Georgina (George) looked after us brilliantly. We had several conversations in the lead‑up to the event to confirm numbers, decorations, welcome drinks and the food to be served on the night. George followed up every discussion with a clear email summary, which gave us real confidence that everything was in hand. We were able to access the venue early to drop off balloons and the cake, which made things much easier. The night itself went by in a blur—in the best possible way—with everyone having a fantastic time. The pianist and then the band were upbeat, lively and great at handling requests. You know you’re onto a winner when the dance floor fills up early and stays busy all night (right up until 2am!). Drinks were what I’d consider standard London prices, which feels fair for a music lounge in Reigate. I’d thoroughly recommend The Ivory Lounge if you’re looking for a vibrant venue with a live‑band, jukebox‑style atmosphere. A brilliant night all round.

Phil Drayton Here on Sunday, to celebrate a family birthday. We had 3 lovely Sunday lunches and a steak and ale pie. Our second visit and glad we returned. Generous portions of pork, lamb, beef, vegetables, and potatoes. The steak pie was rich and flavoursome all washed down with gravy. The staff are attentive and accommodated a request to move tables without hesitation. Thank you for a great Sunday roast birthday.
