The Wiremill Pub, Restaurant & Rooms, Lingfield Reviews Summary

Location

Pros:

• "Based in Lingfield this place is like 40-45 mins drive from Croydon/Sutton. It is situated right at the edge of a lake with amazing views."

• "The location at the lake with seating outside, in the evening cosily lit, makes this place a must-go destination."

• "The views across the lake were stunning, the service was friendly, and the food was delicious."
• "Superb views over a small lake with indoor and outdoor seating."

Cons:

• "The panelling on the outside, put in during COVID times to serve outside, but for me it takes away the magic of being directly next to the lake like it used to have, as it's now just plastic windows."
• "Make sure you don't get the table by the fence (no view of the lake)."
• "The signage from the main road is awful and the main signs for the building are dirty and not very visible."
• "We first visited because my parents moved to the area, and we initially thought we were heading down the wrong road because it’s so tucked away."
• "Large car park, watch out for speed bumps and potholes down road leading up to pub."
