Curious about the Curious Pig in the Parlour? The Surrey Pub Guy'd sure was, and this pub sure didn't let us down! Formerly 'The Hedgehog', the Curious Pig has been recently renovated and reborn into something altogether amazing!
The Surrey Pub Guy'd was particularly impressed by this quirky hotel pub which produced something strange and interesting to look at in every corner. The decor can only be described as 'unconventional' but there is something exciting and grabbing about each wild and wonderful little nook of this pub; from the library table to the trough washbasin in the mens' toilets, you'll certainly never get bored on a night out in the Parlour!
The drinks available in this pub are much like anything else you'll find in a pub in Surrey, the food however is quite another matter! If you like pizza (and really how can you not?) then you have to give the Curious Pig a go, better advice has never been given! This pub, unlike your typical English country pub, has its very own wood-fired pizza oven, in which it makes some of the most delicious pizzas you will ever taste this side of Italy. The Surrey Pub Guy'd decided to sample the simple (you can't go wrong with a 4 cheese pizza) and the divine (smoked streaky bacon, West Country brie, red onion and sundried tomatoes - 'Yum' definitely doesn't do this one justice!). But it doesn't just offer the best pizzas you'll find in a pub ever (seriously!), it has a seriously good steak selection; 35 day aged rump steaks all the way to the superior 'chateaubriand' - served for two people to share...and it doesn't stop there! No, this pub also offers your typical gastro pub fare, it's very own take on the 'pub burger', alongside panfried sea bass, seafood linguine and your all too familiar fish and chips or sausage and mash. There really is something for everyone here so you won't be going hungry!
The staff are friendly and attentive, but the real joy of this pub is in it's decor; it just keeps on giving! If you do take our recommendation and go visit this quirky little pub then make sure you explore every little nook and cranny. The outdoor space has ample tables for the sun seekers and wonderful little heated huts (with cushioned chairs and candles on the table - oh yes, they've thought of everything!) for those unfortunately frequent, grey English days.
The Surrey Pub Guy'd liked everything about this strange and exciting pub, but how does it's unorthodox approach weigh up in the Surrey Pub Guy'd final vote?
