See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.

Situated away from the village, this free house has been a frequent winner of the Surrey Camra Pub of the Year award. As well as the cask ales, around 15 ciders and a doxen craft keg beers are available. The building itself dates in part from the 16th century, but only became a pub in 1850 having previously been a wheelwright's cottage. Internally there are a number of distinct drinking areas. The main drinking area is a low-beamed flagstone bar which has a large inglenook fireplace complete with wood burning stove. Another room is to be found near the car park entrance and this is usually a little quieter. At the front of the pub is another small bar, again complete with real fire. This bar leads to the Georgian restaurant where excellent food is served To the side and rear is the very large garden with many tables. Part of this is heated and under cover. In one corner of the garden there are three boules pistes and these are a hive of activity on sunny Sundays. There is also a children's play area. An extremely popular beer festival in a marquee takes place over the Late May and the August Bank Holiday when around 100 beers and ciders are available over the weekend. A variety of live music is played outside throughout these weekends. The pub closes at 9pm on Sunday from January to March.
