See more about this pub on WhatPub, CAMRA's national pub guide.
A black and white Edwardian establishment set back from the main road on a small green, this is mainly a restaurant but it does have a small bar as you enter with some tables and window seats. The Guest Beer is Grumpy Mole Bitter. Originally called the Bricklayer's Arms, it was renamed Tumble Beacon in 1972 to commemorate the Banstead Beacon that was constructed to warn of the arrival of the Spanish Armada. It was subsequently renamed in 2007. This was originally a Mellersh & Neale house until their take over by Meux & Co in 1938, becoming Friary Meux in the late 1950s. The pub is much given over to the Grumpy Mole Restaurant, one of a small chain. The main menu, a vegan menu and the children's menu are served Monday to Friday 12 till 3 and 5 till 9:30, Saturday 12 till 9:30 and on Sunday, when there are roasts as well, from 12 till 8:30. Additionally a snack menu with sandwiches, wraps, panini and baked potatoes is served Monday to Friday 12 till 3 and Saturday and Sunday 12 till 5. An afternoon tea menu, which includes the snack menu minus potatoes, is available Monday to Saturday 3 till 5. A non smoking patio area comes off the entrance hall and there is seating on the attractive grassy area in front of the pub.
