Taproom of newly opened Fauna Brewery Two hand pumps with cask ale plus several keg taps
Situated in the old Engine shed in Arundel Castle grounds In In March 2022, Fauna Brewery started converting the ‘Champion’s Room’ at their new site, The Old Engine Shed. This incredible Victorian building once housed Arundel Castle’s own generator, powering the electricity throughout the castle. Since then, it’s been used for an assortment of things, but it’s mostly remembered by Arundel locals as Dunlop Stables.
When Fauna Brewery took over the building, it was being used as The Norfolk Estate’s storage barn. The Fauna team found a Morris Minor (in pretty good condition!), a royal carriage (unused for a few years) and some rusty quad bikes (that Henry & Mat would have loved to steal off the Estate). They also opened the doors to the ‘Champion’s Room’ where Dunlop Stables would have kept their best horses.
Our taproom can seat over 60 guests inside and has a total capacity of 200+ beer lovers and their families. It also serves as one of the best sun spots in Arundel with sun shining in the garden throughout the whole day. The incredible flowers from the local gardeners also serves to create a sense of escape from the hustle and bustle of Arundel during the summer months.
Pizzas available some lunchtimes

moc.gniwerbsuoiruc@yrewerb(01233) 528300
Situated in the centre of Ashford, next to Ashford International Railway Station, and only 38 minutes from London St Pancras, this multi-million-pound investment by parent company Chapel Down opened in May 2019.
It's now been taken over by St Peters Brewery from Suffolk. A modern state-of-the-art brewery with a shop and tasting room on the ground floor and a bar and 120-seater restaurant upstairs feature the Curious Brew core range of Lager, IPA, cider and Porter, as well as special and seasonal brews.
The Chapel Down range of English wines and spirits is also available. The Curious Brew products have been widely available in keg, bottle and can for some eight years but up until now have been contract brewed.
Fresh beer from the brewery is served from tanks above the bar; this is unpasteurised but is filtered in common with the beer presented in other forms of packaging. Brewery tours and tastings can be booked via their web site. The brewery looks set to become a major tourist destination. A handpump serving cask conditioned ale was installed in late 2021 serving beers brewed on the premises but availability is very patchy. Most likely to see one during the early autumn (green-hopped) or a Christmas beer at the end of the year.

The Fountain is a quintessential grade II listed village pub dating back to the 17th century. It has two bars plus a restaurant with flagstone flooring with exposed beams and an open fire. The large garden features a restored cider press and the renovated barn doubles as a skittle alley and function room. The pub is popular as a classic car and bike rendezvous point. The building occupied by the present inn was one of several timber-framed, partly tile-hung farmhouses in the centre of the village, opposite the village pond. It became an inn under the sign of the Red Lion by 1788, and adopted the name Fountain Inn soon afterwards. In the early 19th century, the building was extended: an extra wing was added on the north side, perpendicular to the original structure, in brick. In contrast to the tiled roof of the older part, the newer wing had a slate roof. At the same time, the façade was altered from its original timber-framed appearance: the Georgian style, popular at the time, was adopted. Author Hilaire Belloc, who wrote extensively about Sussex in his fiction and non-fiction works, mentioned the Fountain Inn in his novel The Four Men: a Farrago; he wrote approvingly about the ale. In 1979, the pub was used to film part of the video for Wonderful Christmastime, Paul McCartney's Christmas song with his band Wings. Actor Sir Laurence Olivier lived just south of Ashurst, and the Fountain Inn was his local pub. The Fountain Inn was listed at Grade II by English Heritage on 9 May 1980; this defines it as a "nationally important" building of "special interest".

This former Shepherd Neame house, and before that Charrington's, was at one time known as the Railway Hotel. It was built in 1865 just two years after the London, Chatham and Dover Railway reached Birchington. The railway generated something of a local economic boom. The hotel was built to cater to the influx of holidaymakers. Many visitors liked the resort so much that they purchased a bungalow and became villagers themselves, using the Seaview as their local. In 1865 the original hotel was much smaller. By the turn of the century it had incorporated the adjoining Pond Cottage to extend to Prospect Road. The Seaview has an attractive garden, containing two blocked-up wells, one of which is said to be 240 ft deep, plus an unusual decorative feature of two rib-bones from a whale.

Vast pub on two levels off the main A25 at the east end of the village. Formerly the Plough, the name was changed in January 2015 when the pub was sold by Chef & Brewer to Baron Pubs, a small local pub chain. Food is served all day from midday from an extensive menu until 10.30 (9:30 Sunday) and there is a children's menu. There are several distinct areas, not all of which are obvious at first sight. Wander round a corner and there are another half dozen tables, then around another corner and there are more tables and there is an inglenook with a woodburning stove. Most of the pub is carpeted, while the area to the front and side of the bar is laid out in floorboards. The beer garden, which also has its own bar, is also on a large scale and set out in two sections.

Inside, the pub has an emphasis on food, which is available from 12-9 Monday to Saturday, and from 12-6 on Sunday. Four real ales are usually available, three from Greene King plus a guest. The smaller front left hand section of the pub is themed to horse racing - prints and photos adorn the walls.

moc.oohay@letohetrahetyhw(01883) 744356
A very old grade II listed inn on the widest part of the High Street, the Whyte Harte has reputedly been a hostelry since 1388. It is constructed from ships' timbers that were said to be 400 years old then. There have been several alterations and additions since but a lot of character and attractive features remain within. Note the most unusual inn sign in the forecourt. The main entrance opens on to a fairly modern style (but well beamed) bar, and to the right, the building seems to have had a Brewer's Tudor makeover many years ago. On your left, however, is the most interesting part of the building. There are no less than three impressive fireplaces. The first, known as "chimney corner", is surrounded by comfy leather settees and has a fire-back in the grate dated 1613. Beyond is the restaurant area divided into three sections and each quite different. There are many exposed beams and rough plasterwork throughout and a variety of flooring materials have been used. In the back room is an old recess next to the fireplace, thought to be an old bread oven, which now houses an illuminated display of various objects. When Bletchingley was a rotten borough, the elections were held in here. Caledonian 80/- is sold as Harte Ale and the guest beers change regularly and come from the Scottish & Newcastle list. Food is available 12-9:30 Monday to Thursday, 12-10:30 Friday and Saturday and 12-9 Sunday. There are eight well-appointed letting rooms. There are seats outside the pub plus a rear beer garden. Whilst records show that from the 1930s this was a Mellersh & Neale house and latterly Friary Meux, an old photo in the bar reveals that the Southwark brewers, Barclay Perkins once held the tie, when the pub was just called the White Hart. Children are welcome until 7:30 and may be allowed later if the bar is not busy.

Our pub has a simple approach - to be the sort of pub we would love to go to ourselves. No loud music, no attitude, where everyone is welcome. Whether you live near by, work near by or have travelled from far afield you will be guaranteed a hearty 'hello' and welcomed to spend a few moments or the whole evening. Our only requirement of our guests is that they are nice and friendly. (Our licence requires one other thing, that you must be over 18 years of age). Come for a cosy time. Enjoy a drink, have some good honest grub, bring along some old friends and make some new ones. Relax and read the paper, play cards, challenge a group of strangers (sorry, 'friends you have yet to meet') to Monopoly or Cluedo or just sit back and enjoy people-watching.

The garden has scenic views and a children’s play area. The pub can be reached by several bus routes with different stops as the pub is near a crossroads, (none are more than 200 metres away), and also has ample parking.

This cliff-top inn developed out of a Bede House, one of a number of follies built by the eccentric Lord Holland on his Kingsgate estate between 1763 and 1768. It was used by Holland as a "House of Entertainment .... a Bibitory recess for men and horses" .The pub is mentioned in the August 1787 issue of the European Magazine "..... a public house created by Lord Holland, which had for its sign the head of Captain Digby". The pub is named after Holland's favourite nephew Robert Digby, who had a long distinguished naval career. Disaster struck in 1809 when erosion to the cliff caused part of the inn to fall into the sea. The pub was rebuilt by 1816 and is said to include a wing of the original. Today the pub is essentially the 1816 structure despite several enhancements such as a restaurant area added in 1973 and an outdoor children’s play area.

The lane is called Beacon Lane and no one is betting that the beacon was used not to celebrate events but to encourage off-shore shipping. Beyond the old worn brick entrance and extremely low doorway are many of its original features such as low beams are all pegged, and wattle and daub walls, some of which were removed to merge the bars into one. Its name come from its popularity with Owlers (smugglers) who used the inn as a base for their lucrative trade of exporting wool and importing for rum and brandy brought over from France The Woolpack is a perfect place to stop and satisfy thirst and appetite and during the winter a roaring log fire burns in a massive inglenook which has inside seating for those cold nights.

Built in 1782 this popular local pub at the top of Dover Hill on the outskirts of Folkestone and the North Downs Way and adjacent to the Battle of Britain memorial.
The pub is convenient for the port of Dover with accommodation for motor homes in the car park and serves good value meals using local ingredients, were possible including wholesome roasts of Sundays. If you would like to stay for the night with your motorhome, all they ask is for you to have a drink and a meal in the pub. North Downs Way passes the pub.
The pub name was popular just after the English Civil War appealing to returning soldiers and sailors returning home and took and named pubs.
Another possible origin of the pub name because of the constant battles with local fishermen in the Dover area when the local men would retire here to regroup.

Wonderful 400-year old red brick and Surrey flint pub, which, in the 1840s, evolved from three former cottages, one of which was a former bakery. It was one of Caterham's early alehouses. It still retains three distinct areas; these are a front bar facing the main road which has the feel and character of a public bar, a high-ceilinged wooden-beamed middle room, with inglenook fireplace, where darts and cribbage are played, and a small lower-level rear area leading adjoining a rear patio garden. The name refers to Britain's only joint monarchy, William & Mary and a number of pictures of them adorn the walls. There is poker on Wednesdays and a quiz night on Thursdays. A Fuller's seasonal beer is always sold in addition to the three regulars and sometimes an extra beer, either a Fuller's seasonal beer or a guest from an independent brewery, is available. Each summer events such as Shakespeare in the Garden and Opera in the Garden are held as is live music usually 2 Saturdays a month.

This pub reopened in September 2017 under its current name, after a two week refurbishment, having previously been named the Old Surrey Hounds after a local hunt called the Old Surrey Foxhounds. William Garland Soper, known as the father of modern Caterham, first lived in Caterham in 1863 and returned in 1866 to become Congregational minister. He involved himself in local affairs and among his roles were chairman of Caterham Parish Council and then Caterham Urban District Council. During his time in Caterham the population increased about ten times. This is a busy bay-windowed town centre pub and is handy for Caterham station. Although the usual single bar knock-through has occurred, two side wings of differing length remain. Formerly a Barclay Perkins establishment, later Courage and (from mid 2016) now Greene King. Live sport is shown on several screens around the pub. Live music is played every Friday with karaoke on the last Saturday of the month. There is a quiz night on Monday.

Situated a few yards from the Pilgrim's Way on the ridge of the North Downs, this pub is the third highest in Surrey. Through the front door, a small low ceilinged bar leads to a larger room and then to partially-separate restaurant area which was originally converted from a previously freestanding outhouse. All the walls have been stripped back and are painted in various shades of grey. The floor is a mixture of tiling and wood. There are two fireplaces, one is blocked off with the other housing a wood-burner. The tables are well spaced apart from each other. This was an original Westerham Brewery house which has gone through several owners since, eventually ending up as part of Star Pubs & Bars, the leased pub business of Heineken in the UK. The guest beer tends to be from Greene King or St Austell. Good quality food is served all day with last orders being 9pm (4:30pm Sunday). Dogs are welcome in the bar area and there is a large heated and lit umbrella outside.

Late C17th or early C18th Flint and Brick country pub, full of character and nestled in a downland valley between Goodwood Racecourse and Levin Down. The building is L shaped and you enter through a low wooden door on the west wing which leads into a small room, which was the original bar, but is now used for placing food orders, with the main bar in the larger room beyond it. There are dining areas to the front and rear of the west part of the building and a large attractive garden behind with trees, a low flint wall and downland views. The interior is characterised by wooden beams and pillars, with a lovely wooden bar, multiple chalk boards and old photographs from the area, with a focus on motor and equine sport at Goodwood. Accommodation is available in rooms upstairs. The bar has five handpumps, one of which is used for Addlestones cider, (not recognised by CAMRA as real cider). Three pumps were used for ale at the time of visit although four may be in use in summer and and other busy times. The pub has a rich history, having been host to the first Women's Institute meeting in England on 9th November 1915. Fans of classic Doctor Who will also recognise the exterior of the pub which featured prominently, alongside other locations in the village, in the 1975 story "Terror of the Zygons" starring Tom Baker and Elisabeth Sladen. Originally "The Fox" from the Charlton Hunt, "Goes Free" was added to the name in 1985 when the pub became a free house.

Though Greene King are the owners, this is NOT a Greene King pub. It is leased to and operated by Big Smoke Brewing Company of Esher, so one of the best pubs in the city for real ale choice. The building is believed to have started life in the C17th as a brewery then a debtors' prison, but this old pub, once of two bars, is now knocked through to form one big space wrapped round the bar with a smaller side room. The interior features brick pillars, half height painted wood panelling and beams adorned with pump clips.
The large space is sufficiently split up to create a cosy, friendly atmosphere with 2 open fires in winter. This is a popular, town pub frequented by families and adults of all ages.
There are 12 hand pumps on the L-shaped bar, not all in operation at once. 6 are for real ale, and 4 for real cider. The 20 craft keg beers are listed on a blackboard above the bar. Both keg and cask offerings include Big Smoke's own beers as well as others sourced nationally. Up to two of the keg beers are on membrane dispense. The pub has the best overall choice and variety of real ciders in Chichester, often carrying Sea Cider, a Sussex cider maker, with all styles of cider represented, including Welsh. Unobtrusive background music is played. A good food selection from snacks to full meals are available most times all day from noon until 9pm.

Built in 1938 by Watney's and named in honour of the 1937 Derby winner, the first to be owned by a woman, Mrs G B Miller. Ironically, it later was bought by the Magic Pub Company and re-named the Hungry Horse. Fortunately it has reverted back to its proper name but it still carries that epithet which is used by the current owners, Greene King, for their chain of budget, family oriented food outlets. There are two separate bars, the right-hand one, which has a pool table, being the public. The left hand bar is made up of several different areas with ramps to the higher levels. It is mostly given over to food but there is a TV showing sport (another TV can be found in the public bar). There are some tables at the front. Children are allowed in the bar until 6pm. Camra members get a 10% discount on real ales on production of a valid membership card.

A rambling collection of old buildings once known as Dene Farm, with records dating back to 1301 although the oldest surviving building dates from the time of Queen Elizabeth I. It ceased to operate as a farm in 1932 when it became a teashop charging 1/3d for cream teas! After the war some of the outbuildings were turned into a large antique shop and in 1966 the whole lot was sold and became a restaurant. In 1993 Whitbread bought it and turned it into a pub. It is unashamedly food oriented and the whole operation is geared up for this, with numbered tables throughout the bar and garden. There is also a separate restaurant to the left as you enter. Sadly little of the original interior survives, as most of the internal walls have been knocked out for open plan drinking/dining. However there are some exposed beams, flag-stoned floors and several real fires as well as a few more secluded areas. Food is available every day from 12-10 (10:30 Saturday and 9:30 Sunday). As well as he standard menus, a vegan menu is also offered. On Sunday roasts are available all day. The guest beer comes from the M&B list and changes monthly.

Attractive 19th century inn (although reputedly some parts date from 1731) at the south end of Chipstead village with good views across the recreation ground to open country. The opening in December 2004 of a restaurant at the rear of the pub (happily in-keeping with the existing architectural style) has increased capacity considerably. A former Charrington's house, and prior to that owned by Croydon brewer Page & Overton, it is now owned by the pub chain Brunning & Price. The pub is extremely comfortable with a bright bar and solid tables aand wooden floors in each area. To the right as you enter is a large high ceilinged room used a restaurant. Another dining area is to be found to the right of the bar, and this is the original part of the pub. Throughout the pub are interesting photos and pictures including several local sporting ones. An excellent choice of food is available each day from 12.00 to 10pm (9:30 Sunday), and features a number of changing daily specials. The pub has no garden but there is a fair sized outdoor drinking area at the front. Two guest ales are sold, and these are often from local breweries, which Dark Star and Westerham favourites, but several others have been featured. A house beer, Phoenix Brewery's Brunning & Price Original is also sold.

The pub vies to be the smallest in Great Britain with only room for one or two customers ordering inside. All seating is in garden furniture on the station forecourt. An awning and heater is used for the colder and wetter months. May also open on other 'Bonus Days', which are announced via Twitter, Facebook and the website. Check if travelling any distance to visit as opening is weather dependent and seasonal. The changing beers feature those brewed by Brightwater in rotation, with an occasional guest from another local microbrewery, served by handpumps and gravity. Crisps and nuts available, plus soft drinks and wines from a small fridge. Gluten free bottled beers and branded glasses also sold. The station platform toilets may be used and are open throughout pub hours. Due to licensing restrictions only plastic glasses may be used.

The earliest mention of this classic flint built pub was in 1733. What kind of trade the inn did in its infancy is hard to fathom as it nestled in comparative seclusion. This changed in the 19th century when it got a reputation as an excursion pub, when horse brake parties sought out the pub's tea rooms. The pub has kept its rustic quality despite considerable alterations over the years. The Whitbread Beefeater restaurant and bar was added in 1975 with it being further extended in the mid 80s. Sold to Greene King, who have turned it into a Hungry Horse outlet.

This 17th century inn was originally on one of the coaching routes from London to the south coast. It is now approached by narrow country lanes and is handy for Leith Hill, the highest point in south-east England. A large oak bar greets you as you enter, and on here are four handpumps. There are large and attractive gardens. All the food is home-cooked and wherever possible, from local producers. The menu is seasonal and there are always daily specials available. The food is off excellent quality and can be described as British farmhouse with a French twist. The main drinking area is to be found to the right of the bar, down a couple of steps, and comprises a mix of tables and comfy chairs in front of a wood-burning stove. The pub has six good en-suite rooms available upstairs and there is also a converted barn which can be used for functions. There is a disabled toilet and the side gate is left open for wheelchairs but there is a step into the bar at the side entrance. Dogs are welcome if they are kept on the lead and dog biscuits are available. A shop has been incorporated into the pub and this is open each day from 8:30-6 (9-5 Sunday). As well as fresh produce, tea and coffee with snack food is served, and this is popular with cyclists and walkers enjoying the beautiful countryside.
Please note that the the pub's Leith Hill Brewery is still brewing but not regularly, and so the brewery's beer may not always be available in the pub. The brewery is in an outbuilding at the back of the pub.

Branch Pub of the Year Finalist 2024.
Overlooking the village green and duck pond, this 18th-century two-roomed pub is one of CAMRA's Real Heritage Pubs and has been in the same family for over 100 years. Its simple furniture and decor has remained largely unchanged for 50 years.At least two real ales are available, which constantly change. One is always from a Kent brewery. The second provides an element of surprise, being from a brewery from somewhere in the UK. At least three ciders, from Kentish Pip, are available.
As a community pub it is very much the centre of village life. It is a great place for conversation, good fellowship and a place where local societies meet. Entertainment varies from darts, dominoes and skittles to auctions/competitions of local produce, monthly book club (the Coldred Literary Society), community-themed food nights, organised walks and a maggot race.
Three charities are supported by the pub: Prostate Cancer and the local Lions Club. Their third charity is Toilet Twinning: The Gent's toilet is twinned with a toilet in Bechani, Malawi and the Ladies toilet with a toilet in Makawanpur, Nepal.
A 3-day summer beer festival is held in June, to coincide with the Church Fete.
The pub may open in the afternoon for small groups.Kent’s Public House Archive: Carpenters Arms, Coldred

This wonderful unspoilt pub has thankfully been saved from the threat of closure in 2014 following the long-serving landlady moving into a care home and her subsequent passing away, and after it being run by a band of locals for nearly 5 years. A rare rural time-warp, in the same family hands since 1913, with the former landlady, Elsie Maynard, taking over in 1973. It comprises two bars entered separately from the front entrance. Note the old Bisset dart scorer on the public bar wall - three finger-operated metal dials that change the score; being darts, the numbers come down as you enter the score. Warning: this has become fragile so is actually best not used anymore! Use your head instead. In addition to the Larkins cask ale (on gravity dispense in the outbuilding and on handpump in the main building) the pub sells Titsey IPA and Titsey lager on keg dispense. Cash and card payments accepted. Precise closing times are subject to customer demand.

Cobbett's opened as a real ale off licence on 1 September 2010 and on 19 July 2014 expanded with a micropub (the first in Surrey) operating in a tiny back room. The building used to be a doll's house shop and is named after William Cobbett, a distant relative of one of the owners and a radical pamphleteer, journalist, politician, and farmer born in Surrey. Please note that the closing time is for the bottle shop and so there is no extra drinking up time. There may only be one or two cask beer on at the start of the week but this will have increased to two or three by Friday. Although there are handpumps the cask beers are currently served direct from the cellar so check the blackboard to see what is available. Six further beers are sold by keykeg and will include a dark beer. Three draught ciders are also available, often including one from the local Barnard's Cyder. A large number of top quality British bottled and canned beers and ciders are also sold, along with an ever increasing number of foreign ales.

The hidden away micropub, Goldings Bar, is to be found at the back of the building and comprises a small room with seating on stools by a long shelf on one side and seats next to tiny solid wood tables on the other. In total around a dozen people can fit in here and is a marvellous place to try the beers and cider on offer.

A supplement is made on bottles and cans of beer for consuming them on the premises. A small selection of quality wine is sold plus there is a local gin from Gin Kitchen of Dorking (and some soft drinks). Check the website for details of what is available.

It is appropriate that Dorking's oldest and perhaps most traditional pub is found in a street full of antique shops. The pub dates from 1405, starting off as three farm workers' cottages, and becoming a coaching inn during the 16th century. The split-level bar is well beamed and has leaded windows. The front part to the left of the bar has a tiled floor. To the right of this, and the main part of the bar area, there is some impressive wooden flooring and a slightly raised carpeted area. At the rear of the pub are a couple of smaller and quieter areas and a small restaurant. There is an outside partially covered area along the side of the pub and an inner area accessed either from the restaurant or the bar. This former Friary Meux pub was sold by Punch to Shepherd Neame in May 2009. The guest beer is likely to be either Shepherd Neame Master Brew or Whitstable Bay. There is a very small car park at the back which is for staff only but the pub is very near a public car park, which charges during the day Monday to Saturday. There is a toilet for the disabled and baby change facilities at the back of the restaurant, but they are only accessible using a step from the bar although there is a slope to a door at the back from the car park.

29th March 2024: The White Horse has reopened under new management, so the information in this WhatPub entry may be out-of-date.
Sitting in the shadow of Dover Castle and beside the ruins of a Norman Church, you will find the historic White Horse Inn. This Grade 2 listed building dates back to 1365 and was originally the home to the Verger to St James Church. In 1574, it is said to have taken its first recorded steps as an "Ale tasting house" before being known as "The White Horse Inn" from 1818.
Historic records show that the cellar was used as a morgue and inquests on bodies recovered from the sea are said to have been heard here in the rear dining rooms.
The Horse - as it is known locally - went on to survive both wars unscathed whilst its neighbour, St James Church, was struck during both.
Inside, the rambling interior features a bar and three rooms, spread over two floors. The mix of simple but comfortable furniture, walls adorned with cross-channel swimmers’ signatures and eclectic décor make for an interesting pub to drink and eat in.
The pub is a hive of activity, with a mix of tourists & locals alike enjoying traditional, home cooked food and sampling premium drinks in cosy, traditional surroundings.
Up to three real ales are served from local and national breweries. There's also a real cider from Duddas Tun.
On Wednesday evening, the pub does not serve food. Instead it runs a "Free Food Event" where customers can bring along their own food/take-away and the pub will provide crockery & cutlery.
During the year the pub holds a number of fund-raising events for local charities.
The hidden terrace garden at the rear is a real treat during the summer months.
There's plenty of on street and pay and display parking nearby.

This charming family-run country pub between Petworth and Goodwood has a wealth of history dating from the 16th Century when it was a coaching inn on the former roman road from London down to Noviomagus Reginorum (Chichester). It features original wooden beams, a solid oak bar and a large haunted inglenook fireplace that still creates a pleasant ambience. Good real ales, including LocAles and draught cider, are on tap. Locally sourced home-cooked food featuring fish and game, whenever possible, is on the menu. Cream teas and other snacks available in the afternoon. Families are welcome and there is a large garden to the rear. A large function room is available for hire. Additional history:- It was also formerly known as The Swan and until 1814 the inn belonged to the Manor of Duncton. In 1840, the property was purchased by William Gill from a Mrs. Duffell, and records describe a brewery being attached to the inn. The rateable value at this time of the "Swan Inn, Smithshop and land" is recorded in the Duncton Parish Rates as £23-16s. Following William Gill's death in May 1849, his wife Mary occupied The Swan until 1863, when ownership passed to Chamberlain. From 1864 to 1868 it was occupied and leased by members of the Bridger family. John Wisden, renowned Kent, Middlesex, Sussex and England cricketer, who launched the Wisden Cricketer's Almanac, purchased the property in 1867. During his ownership, the property was renamed The Cricketers, and was leased to James 'Jem' Dean. In his will of 1871, John Wisden directed that 'As to the house and premises known as The Cricketer Arms to allow Dean to remain a tenant for so long as he should think fit'. James Dean was born in Duncton in the early 1800s and died in The Cricketers on Christmas Day, 1881, reputedly sitting in the Inglenook fireplace with a pint of beer in hand. Jem Dean gained recognition as a roundarm fast bowler who played for Sussex, All England XI and then helped set up the United All England XI with his long-time friend John Wisden. After his retirement from the sport in 1860, he was appointed as an umpire by the authorities at Lords.

Opposite the historic church the Ship Hotel is another well-known smugglers inn, something of whose story is revealed in Russell Thorndyke’s books “Doctor Syn” and “Doctor Syn Returns”, for the author lived in Dymchurch for many years steeped himself in local colour and the tales of nightriders. The nearness if the inn to the little prison, meant thrilling adventures helping captured smugglers to escape. Reopened in 2017 the building had been left to deteriorate over the several years by previous tenants .before being purchased by a local entrepreneur and coming a free house The building has now been totally restored to a high standard to provide facilities expected in the 21st century. Unfortunately, the unusual carved and gilded ship on the high seas that ordained the front entrance had been removed during a previous owner and lost. The original accommodation area has been totally refurbished to provide six en-suite rooms and the bar areas rebuilt to offer two main dining areas, one of which can be used for functions, and a bar area where dogs are welcome. A good selection of local cask ales and the food is mainly sourced locally The Ship Inn is low beamed pub with an attractive staircase, open fires and one room in the hotel has an iron ceiling from when the Wealden ironworks that were still working in the eighteenth century.

The Ounce & Ivy Bush recalls one of East Grinstead's former inns, and the coat of arms of the Sackville family, which were leading local landowners. The closure of the Dorset's Head allowed the Cat Inn, also on High Street, to change its name to the Dorset Arms. The Cat had been called The Ounce & Ivy Bush. An ounce is a species of wild cat and an ivy bush was a symbol used to denote a high-class inn. Two cats support the coat of arms of the Sackvilles. Robert Sackville, second earl of Dorset, founded Sackville College almshouses, on High Street, in 1605. The college is East Grinstead's most important historic building.

Two fireplaces have been restored as part of the refurbishment. There is a nice garden to the rear, which is an oasis of calm close to central Epsom.

A large, attractive Grade II listed 16th Century pub which started life at the right-hand end of a terrace and gradually expanded into successive adjoining cottages over the years. A major refurbishment took place at the end of 2023 and this resulted in the moving of the bar and the pub becoming more focused on dining. There are still a number of side areas for more intimate eating and drinking. Two ghosts are said to haunt the pub. The origins of the stone bear at the front are unclear. One source has it that it arrived here from Piccadilly Circus; another says it replaced an earlier design in wood and is said to be around 200 years old. One thing is certain; it narrowly escaped being kidnapped by Polish pilots from Biggin Hill at the end of World War Two! Views of planes taking off from Biggin Hill Airport can be had from the garden. Hard to find for the uninitiated but a pub well worth seeking out! As well as a large car park, there are secure storage facilities for bikes. There is a large patio area at the back and a separate cabin, the Baby Bear, which is used as an outside bar and kitchen. Two beers are regularly available with a third brewery supplied beer on occasion -m all are from Brakspear.. The separate drinks menu found on the bar lists many tipples available but makes no mention of the cask ales.

The Village House Coaching Inn is nestled in the newly formed South Downs National Park, at the heart of the picturesque downland village of Findon, near Worthing and was first mentioned by name in the 'Findon Chronicles' in 1527 when it became the property of a Mr Thomas Beret. Since then the building has seen many changes of use and has been a private house as well as a convalescent home for the well heeled of London (no change there then). In the 1930s the Village House became a guest house and tea room - a recently found advertisement dating from this time boasted of... en pension terms of 2 ½ guineas to 4 guineas per week-according to room and season... and... rooms with such modern conveniences as electric light. Today our rooms still retain their old world charm and atmosphere, but we try to offer a little more luxury than in the 1930s. If you love walking, we are ideally located for both the South Downs and Monarchs Way, which both offer fantastic views across the south downs and Sussex coast. If golf is your passion there are two challenging golf courses nearby, or if it's horse racing, then Fontwell and Goodwood racecourses are within easy distance. Findon is also the home of the Gifford Racing Stables who produced the famous Grand National winner, Aldaniti.

All ales are sourced from small independent micro-breweries and served in third pint glasses for tasting. Several ciders are on sale from boxes on the bar counter. This "micro-pub" is unusual in that is serves a variety of bottled craft beers and draught international lagers. Generally, the Alehouse also has upward of 10 international wines, a selection of gins and in addition to Prosecco, Port and Sherry.

A friendly local community pub built in 1867 as the Shorncliffe Arms, and was renamed the Railway Hotel in 1887. It quickly became the last watering hole for many soldiers billeted in nearby Shorncliffe barracks before they boarded trains for overseas missions. The pub was unofficially known as the Nailbox for many years because of a nearby woodworking shop. Employees there said they were going to ‘fetch something from the nailbox’ - a euphemism for nipping out for pint! The nickname was recognised in 1971 when the pub was renamed. Darts, pool and crib as well as monthly quiz nights are organised for those who like a sporting chance in this friendly local community pub with a tradition of support for various charities.

This unique Wetherspoon's pub is named after Samuel Morton Peto (later Sir Samuel), a great railway engineer and builder of Nelson’s column, who funded this building as a Baptist church in 1874 The former Baptist Church contained a very fine pipe organ, and the façade of these pipes have been retained at the far end of the balcony, imposing an air of dignity, although destined for a life of silence. The pub also features the original stained-glass windows, original memorial plaques of local dignities, and a hand-painted ceiling of fluffy clouds across a blue sky. Cosily inviting booths wrap around both floors. There are even two pulpits upstairs where one can preach the Gospel of Real Ale.

The large bar has a lovely open fireplace, a long bar and bar stools, and there is a separate oak-panelled dining room. It became a gastropub when it changed hands in January 2018, and after only 9 months, it has been awarded one Michelin star. But it is still a pub, and the beers are reasonably priced.

This is the oldest pub in Godstone and dates from 1393, although it has been much modified over the years. As a coaching inn, this was where the travellers stayed, with the grooms and coachmen staying at the long gone Rose & Crown. The now blocked tunnels underneath the Bell, used to connect it to the White Hart up the road. Today the pub classifies itself as a gastro-pub, with most of the pub and the conservatory being restaurant areas laid for diners. There is a separate children's menu and food is served from 12-10:30 (9:30 Sunday). The drinkers area is as you come in from the car park and dogs are permitted in this area if kept on a lead. The guest beer changes every week or two. The Godstone Room is a private function room available if required.

The building is grade II listed and has an inglenook, a couple of wood burning stoves and a fire in the restaurant, although that is unlikely to be in use.

These date from 1885 when the pub was rebuilt following a fire. The no-frills environment is more than compensated for by the conviviality and excellently kept beer. No food is available other than bar snacks.

Winter "quiet time opening hours" are shown - please call pub or visit website to check for evening hours if visiting in Spring or Summer or Bank Holidays. The Royal Oak is a free house in a 16th-century cottage. David Jeffrey and Sarah Warner have run the Royal Oak since 1990. The Royal Oak is an idyllic country pub, unspoilt and with great country walks. There is a large garden. In the winter two lovely log fires greet you. There is an extensive menu. Also on offer are three permanent real ales. The pub is haunted by the ghost of one who was believed to be a sheep rustler who operated on the South Downs in about 1680, going by the name of William "Shagger" Shepherd. He was pursued across the Downs by a group of angry farmers and was eventually shot after taking refuge in the Royal Oak.

Originally this was built as a farmhouse for Hewitt's farm in the 17th century, and the bar area of the pub dates from this time. The ghost of Mabel Hewitt is believed to haunt the pub. In the 1930s the solicitor who acted on behalf of Mrs Simpson lived here, and it is said that King Edward VIII's abdication papers were signed here. Willow trees from the area were used to make cricket bats sold under the Stuart Surridge name (he was an England cricketer who lived nearby). The building became a pub in October 1985 and boasts many original timbers and inglenooks. There is only one bar but this is divided into a number of areas. To the right of the bar is a dartboard. To the left, beyond the fireplace, is a more comfortable bar area. Locally sourced food is available every day from 12-9:30 (8 Sunday). Families are welcome in the pub until 9pm. The guest beers change frequently and tend to be from national and regional brewers. The piped music may be quite loud. Occasional live music in the bar, or outdoors during summer. The large garden has plenty of seating with play facilities for children.

This attractive town centre pub dates from the 19th century. It has much external weatherboarding, and unsurprisingly is known locally as the Wooden Hut. It has been extended over the years resulting in a single bar with many nooks and crannies. There are nine TV screens including one outside at the back. Alfresco drinking is possible both to the rear and at the front of the pub. There are usually three guest beers, one of which is likely to be from Fullers and another from a local brewery such as Dorking or Pilgrim or the slightly further Lister's. One of the beers is likely to be under 4%, possibly Gales Seafarers Ale supplied by Fullers. The pub is licensed from 10am (11am on Sundays) but actually opens at 9am (10am on Sundays), and food is served from opening time until 9:30pm (8:30pm on Sundays). Free WiFi available. A selection of Lilley's ciders is sold. There are three dart boards, an inglenook, karaoke every Friday and either live music or a DJ monthly. Dogs are welcome and there is a baby change.

This Wetherspoons pub opened on 12 February 2007. The pub is situated in the old Kwikfit tyre centre which used to be Fairman's Garage, a car showroom, and dates from 1933. Jack Fairman was an early motor racing driver who partnered Stirling Moss in several endurance events, and his history is told on the walls of the pub, which is to be found just off the town centre and close to the station. The single large room retains an Art Deco feel and despite the dark wood panelling feels light and airy. Wooden railings create partitions with fruit machines in an unobtrusive corner and TV screens on one wall showing sport but without sound. There is a small outside area for smokers. Three plasma screens show sport, and food is served all day. Outside is a small area for smokers. The four guest beers are often from local breweries.

Dating from 1403, this pub has valid claims to be one of Britain's oldest. This pub rests on wooden piles, some of which date from the year 827. Most of the pub is 16th century, however, but there are stone flags, some very low beams, and a welcoming inglenook fireplace. The pub is listed, as is the barn next to it. This is today the cellar for the bar. The pub rambles over two floors and there are many nooks and crannies in which to sit in comfort. The seating area upstairs is just used as an overflow area when busy but as there are toilets upstairs access is available. A queen post is used to hold the roof up on the upper level - apparently only one other pub in England has this feature. The guest beer, from a list supplied by the pub company, changes frequently and Adnams Ghost Ship, Brains Rev James and St Austell Proper Job are often seen. Food is available every day from 12-9:30 and a separate children's menu is available. The pub is to be found at the bottom of Church Road and the garden stretches down to the River Mole, although this is fenced off. CAMRA members receive a discount of 20p on a pint of cask ale on production of their membership card.

This one bar pub, which was previously owned by King & Barnes and then Hall & Woodhouse, was named the Gatwick after the long gone Gatwick Racecourse. However the name was confusingly changed in March 2014 to the Airfield Tavern. It is now just called the Tavern. The bar has a raised area towards the front and has wooden floors throughout - this latter feature tends to make the pub very noisy. There is a pool table, darts board and juke box in the bar, and on most night there is something going on. The pool table is free on Monday nights, Tuesday is Open Mic, Thursday is quiz night, Friday there is Karaoke and there is live music on Saturday and Sunday. The paved garden is a lit and heated and has a pool table and a table football table. The beers may change but Hobgoblin Gold and Timothy Taylor Landlord will often be available.

This remains true to the original concept of micropubs; i.e. NO lager or so-called craft keg beers, simply draught ale, traditional cider and a selection of wines. The occasional unaware lager drinkers are politely directed to other public houses nearby! Equally importantly NO music, screens, fruit machines etc, just the pleasant conversation of customers who all seem to know each other. That said, strangers are made very welcome even when standing room only is the order of the day. Three ales always on handpump, with a fourth occasionally straight from the cask, plus normally 3 local ciders. Not to be missed by discerning ale drinkers and pub goers.

The Bell Inn is a pretty medieval 16th century free house situated adjacent to St George’s Church, in the centre of Romney Marsh. Under the previous ownership of Mark & Vanda, the real ales and beers won many awards, including CAMRA Branch Pub of the Year in 2010, 2011, 2013 and 2016, they were also a close runner up in 2012. During the colder months a wood burning stove adds to the comfortable pub and what can be nicer than good beer, good food, great surroundings and interesting conversation? The Bell Inn is well worth finding and is steeped in Marshland History as it was once the centre of the Romney Marsh Owlers (Smugglers).

This huge mock-Tudor pile was built around 1900 as the Station Hotel to serve the adjacent Kingswood Station on the Tattenham Corner branch. By the mid-60s it had become the Pigeon Pair and assumed its present title in the 1980s. Over the years, exposed brick has given way to painted render, whilst the amount of first floor black and white facing has grown. Colourful flower baskets adorn the front and there is a landscaped, terraced garden at the back. To the front of the interior is the main wood-beamed drinking bar. A separate area known as the Study is available for hire, whilst to the right is a very large dining room. The Kingswood Arms Golfing Society gathers here and its well stocked trophy cabinet and winners' board can be found in the bar. The pub was bought by Fullers in 2011 although it was not branded as such for some years. There was a major refurbishment in 2020 with new complete stylish interior refit. There is a rear extension which replaces the conservatory and this features wood panelling made out of recycled scrap wood. The pub offers a restaurant menu.

(01306) 611254
This very attractive two bar tile-hung inn has been a pub since at least 1637. Evidence of this can be found in the saloon bar where part of the wall, covered by glass for protection, has written on it "Gentlemen, you are welcome to sit at your ease, pay what you call for and drink what you please", William Eades, 1637. It is rumoured that the Seven Stars was mentioned by Ben Johnson, the first Poet Laureate, who is said to have lived for a while at nearby Swaynes Farm. As Ben Johnson died in 1637, this would make the pub even older. The original pub was just the small top part of the bar, and the original entrance can be seen from the front of the building by the painted central door. Externally the pub is covered in hanging baskets and window boxes and there are gardens to the rear and front. The saloon bar, which is dog friendly, is split level with a large inglenook at one end and a log burning stove at the other. The pub was a favourite of the British land and water speed record holder Donald Campbell who lived in the village and there are several photos of him in the bar. The lounge bar was rebuilt in 1995 using 17th century oak timbers and contains some very low beams. This bar contains the restaurant and is almost exclusively used by diners although there are generally a couple of tables for drinkers. All the food is home cooked and of excellent quality. As well as the main menu there are a number of daily specials available.

Corner pub on Southover High Street. Good views of the Castle from the garden. The present building dates from 1888 and the front portion has been a public house since at least 1891 when an Emma Goldsmith is named as “Inn Keeper”. Her family had owned the address for the previous 50 years however, so it may be that the building was a public house even before the present building was there. The property has been extended over the years and now encompasses two former cottages that were built with the original row in the 1850’s.

This inn became licensed in about 1847, before then it played two unrelated roles. First as a knapped flint farmhouse in open meadows, and when in about 1830 the town became to encroach on the area, it was acquired by James Newlove to become his Dane House Academy for Boys. Cobb's brewery acquired the freehold of the property from Newlove after his family's discovery of the nearby Shell Grotto. This new acquisition was perfectly positioned to service the procession of visitors to the mysterious Grotto. The pub was briefly known as the Freemason's Tavern, but by 1900 was once again trading under its inaugural name. More recently, in 2019 the Margate Civic Society gave it a town pride award for enhancing the built environment and for contributing to the community amenity.

The pub then known as the Queen's Head was demolished around 1933. It was small, unpretentious, and much frequented by local seafarers. In contrast the 1933 model was a grander conception: with its distinctive golden vane, the new pub/hotel incorporated the sweet shop on the corner of Lombard Street. It had 8 letting rooms and a first floor dining room. Features include a fine stone fireplace and a beautiful carved dumb waiter behind the bar counter. The pub gained its present name when it became part of the Thorley Taverns empire.

Located high on the Weald, the spacious garden, which incorporates a large children’s play area, affords fine views towards the Ashdown Forest.

A warm welcome is assured from the jovial landlord. No food Sunday or Monday evenings. Folk Music on the second Sunday of each month. There is occasional live music at other times.

Imposing Grade II listed multi-balconied and half-timbered edifice which displays much evidence of the arts and crafts movement. Although the multitude of tiny wood-framed ground floor windows with their circular dimples seem in keeping with the architecture, two attractive frosted and etched door windows (one exterior, one interior) depicting the Prince of Wales's feathers hint at the existence of an earlier scheme. Other stained and leaded examples on the north side suggest a later extension has been incorporated into the pub proper. Though internal divisions have long-gone, careful retention and modification of the original heavy wooden bar, plus differing styles of décor, help divide the pub up into distinctive areas. The mix of contemporary and original seems to work well here and appears popular with young and old alike. Other features worthy of note are a superb mirror, plus a large number of small cast-iron fireplaces which "shout" Art Nouveau! Families are welcome before 6pm.

A little gem of a pub, well off the beaten track, situated on the edge of Walton Heath amidst excellent walking and horse riding country. Parts of the pub date from the 16th century, although most of the current building is of later construction possibly early Victorian. There is an attractive tiled portico running the length of the frontage with bench seating to keep the rain off which can be used by smokers. It was built as a lodge on Royal hunting grounds and would almost certainly have been used by Henry VIII and his entourage. Today it is a cosy and welcoming split-levelled one bar establishment with a 60 seat restaurant serving good and interesting food which can be split into two by a screen so that the back part can be used as a function room. At times, especially warm weekends, it can get very busy, with an eclectic mix of walkers, cyclists, dedicated drinkers, diners, etc... yet at other times, it will be very quiet with a loyal band of regulars propping up the bar and soaking up the atmosphere along with the fine ale. There is a garden to the side as well as tables at the front. Food is served 12-10 Monday to Saturday, and from 12-8:30ish on Sunday. The guests come from a mixture of large and small brewers and may be local, so you may see anything from Greene King, Fuller's, Otter and Wychwood to Hogs Back and Clarence & Fredericks represented on the bar. There is a real fire by the entrance to the restaurant from the pub and dogs are welcome in the bar. Newspapers and WiFi are available. This is not an easy pub to find but we recommend you make the effort.

The building dates from at least the 16th century and is Grade II listed. Look out for the ghost of Harry the monk. In the garden is St Margaret's Well or Mag's Well which is reputedly mentioned in the Domesday Book, and gives the area its name. There are two bars and a restaurant, each with its own log fire, and a conservatory at the rear. There may be an outside bar in the garden which also has a large covered area. There is live music on the last Sunday of the month. Tuesday is quiz night. Dogs are welcome in the two bars and most of the garden area and the pub is on the Millennium Trail. There is a dart board and some games are available in the snug bar to the left.

Wetherspoons pub in former police station dating from the 1890s. The cask cellar is visible through a window in the passageway behind the bar. At least one guest beer is usually from a local brewery. There is a memorial garden at the front to a local policeman who died in the line of duty. It is called the Watchman because, being a former police station, it had an air raid siren on the roof during WWII. There was a member of the Royal Observer Corps up there with binoculars and when he saw bombers from Germany on their way he operated the siren. You can still see the iron railings on the pub roof where the siren was, but the siren itself was removed in the 1980s. Opens at 8am for food and non-alcoholic drinks. Has a real fire in the conservatory at the back. Accredited for beer quality during 2023 and Local CAMRA Pub of the Year in 2023.

The RHDR was built in the 1920s by Captain J.E.P. Howey, an eccentric millionaire whose first passion was motor racing but after his marriage he was persuaded by his wife to pursue the safer hobby of railways! The pub was named after him following his death in the 1960s. This railway is one of the longest steam operated miniature railways in the world – 14 miles between Hythe and Dungeness.

Bought by Hall & Woodhouse in October 2022 having been a free house for many years, this split-level pub is found down a track off the A22 (there is a pub sign at the end of the track on the main road). It was originally built as a forge and hammer mill in 1561 later becoming a wire and nail mill and is reputed to have supplied these items for St Paul's Cathedral in London. In addition, bronze cannons were produced, and in the 17th century it was a flour mill. Since then the building has been used as a women's refuge and a place for members of the RAF to stay in the World Wars. Today the pub overlooks a lake used by a water skiing club and there is a patio with tables outside by the water. Inside there are three levels with tables, all of which can be used by drinkers and diners, and it is reputedly haunted by Phil, see board by the top entrance. Food is a feature at this pub, with all food being home made and ingredients being bought locally where possible. The pub opens at 9am for breakfast, which is served till 11.30am, then the main menu starts at midday and is served all day until 9.45pm. Although the pub mainly opens for breakfast at 9am it is licensed from this time so it is possible to just go in for a drink. The pub may occasionally shut early on a winter's evening if there are no customers, but you are likely to find it bursting at the seams on sunny weekend lunchtimes in the summer. There are occasional live music nights. The accommodation consists of six en-suite boutique rooms.

Dating in parts from the 17th century, this dog friendly pub is to be found opposite the village church. Originally built as two cottages, the pub has been extended over the years. The pub was called the Five Bells, but when the church bells were recast in 1803 and six bells installed instead, the pub changed its name. At the end of the 19th century, the last Manorial Courts of Cudworth met in the Six Bells. The interior rambles around the bar to provide a number of cosy areas on different levels. There is a small area down from the bar facing the church which is known as the Belfry Bar and further away, down a few steps to the left of the bar is a tile-floored area with an inglenook fireplace. The pub does have a second fireplace, but this is still hidden behind boards. The main bar area has floorboards and beams. At the rear is a dining room (although food can be eaten in the other areas of the pub); very good homemade food is served. Outside there are tables to the front and side and a large garden with children's play equipment to the rear.

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.

After the Fox burnt down just before the First World War, a new pub was built close by, hence the name of the Fox Revived. At this time it was owned by local brewers Mellersh & Neale, who eventually became Allied Breweries trading under the name of Friary Meux. The pub has been greatly extended by its new owners Brunning & Price and was re-opened in March 2017. It is very popular for its home-cooked food this is sold from 12-9:30 Monday to Thursday, 12-10 Friday and Saturday and 12-9 Sunday. Pastries and croissants are sold each day from opening until noon.

Formerly the Red Lion, this large pub dates in parts from the 15th century, although several extensions hide the antiquity very well. The front part of the bar is decorated with cricketing prints, and to the left of this is a games room with pool. Bar billiards is played in the bar area itself. A raised area to the right of the bar can be used by families. By ducking under a well disguised beam the bar opens out to an area with comfy sofas, and there is a more contemporary feel to this part of the pub. This area is a more modern addition, being 17th century, and has an impressive fireplace which is not used. Beyond this is a large restaurant, with a large conservatory along one side which looks out over the large enclosed rear garden where there is a play area for children. The menu features traditional home cooked English food with only fresh ingredients being used, sourced locally where possible. Two beers are available and these will usually be from local breweries, one of which will be from Surrey Hills, almost always Shere Drop. Six en-suite bedrooms are available for letting (four double and two singles) and functions can be booked in the pub and restaurant. Well behaved dogs are welcome. Occasional beer festivals are held in the very pleasant garden.

This is an attractive tile hung building with a large brick inglenook covered in horse brasses in the flag stoned lounge, and is popular with walkers and cyclists. In total there are three separate drinking and eating areas on the ground floor.

Parts of the building date from the 14th century, although most is newer. There is also a room upstairs which can be used for meetings and functions, but also as an overflow eating or drinking area if the pub is busy. Previously a freehouse, Hall & Woodhouse bought the pub in 1991, it was then sold back to the free trade and is now again a family run freehouse rather than part of a small chain. There are usually two guest beers. There are popular roasts on Sunday and a children's menu. A shop can be found in an outbuilding; this is usually open 10-2 and 5-7 Tuesday to Saturday and noon-4 Sunday.

When first built, the property was two farm dwellings, and these two with ten others and the church of St. Clement formed the entire parish of Old Romney.
In 1806, a licence was granted to sell ales from the premises, which at this date remained untitled, other than “a beer house of Old Romney”.
In 1848 works were carried out and both dwelling made to form one. Upon completion of these works a full licence was granted for the house and it was registered as the “Rose and Crown” inn.
After several year as a Whitbread house the pub has now become a free house overlooking the open countryside of Romney Marsh.
The pub still retains two bars with the addition of a conservatory used as a restaurant and supports social evenings for local groups

Dating from 1635, this well-beamed Fuller's tenancy was previously a coaching stop on the route from London to Brighton, and the former stables now house the pub's toilets. Until a few years ago there was a hanging tree in the garden that was reputedly used for dispatching witches! The bell from which the pub takes its name, came from a London church, and weighs around a quarter of a ton, and is displayed by the front door. Fuller's bought the pub in the autumn of 2004 and sympathetically refurbished it, opening out a fine inglenook fireplace which now boasts a cosy log fire. The bar area has wooden floors covered in rugs and solid wooden tables throughout. Although the emphasis is definitely on food, with a restaurant area at the side, the Bell provides a welcoming stop for drinkers also and dogs are very welcome. Although there is only one bar, there are a number of separate drinking and dining areas. The guest beer is likely to be a Fuller's, Gales or Dark Star beer. Outside the back door is a covered area with lighting.

Convenient for Crawley and Horsham, The Black Swan boasts a large car park, garden and function room and is perfect for lunch, dinner and drinks. Formerly part of the King & Barnes estate, The Black Swan was refurbished as a food oriented pub and re-named The James King. On passing to Hall & Woodhouse the former name of The Black Swan was restored. In earlier times The Black Swan was a popular stopping off point for day trippers being approximately halfway beteween London and Brighton. Apparently travellers were confronted by flower sellers when their coaches stopped. To this day there is a flower shop next to the pub.

In the heart of the beautiful Surrey Hills, the Hurtwood Inn operates as a rest for cyclists and walkers as well as the village local. Please note that ramblers should remove their muddy boots before entering. Up to two guest beers are available, mainly from micro-breweries. The current bar is of a bright contemporary design with a modern inglenook fireplace. There is a variety of seating ranging from plush sofas to bar stools as well as tables and chairs. Since mid-June 2014, the bar and restaurant have been let to Italian tenants. Unsurprisingly, Italian cuisine, which is of excellent quality, features heavily on the menu. Food is servedMonday to Friday 12-2:30 and 6-9:30 Monday to Friday, and all day on weekends and Bank Holidays. The accommodation is now run separately as the Hurtwood Hotel (tel 01306 730514, web site www.hurtwoodhotel.co.uk). The building was put up in 1920 on the site of an old off-licence that was due to be sold at auction. Locals were so worried that they would have nowhere to buy their beer that they persuaded the Surrey Public House Trust Company to build a hotel. The name, which is also the name of the hundreds of acres of surrounding woodland, came from the whortleberries or "hurts" that grew locally. The whole establishment closed completely in November 2013. During the first part of 2014, the bar part was operated on a community basis as the Peaslake Pub.

This extremely picturesque white weather-boarded, Grade II listed free house, perched on a hillside, was originally a run of three farm cottages. Approached down the steps via the front sunny terrace one gets a sense of the oozing charm befitting a place which has served as an ale house for over half a millennium. Equally appealing in winter with log fires including an inglenook adding to the cosy feel and in summer with rear tiered terracing affording elevated views over some fine countryside. A combination of low oak beams adorned with hops and fairy lights, quarry tiled and carpeted flooring and subdued lighting add to the historic feel. Larkins Trad comes from the brewery only 3 miles down the road, with up to two guest ales depending on seasonal demand appearing alongside the other regular, Harveys Best. The rare local, lightly-carbonated Chiddingstone cider is also served. The cosy restaurant area can be reserved for special occasions and private parties (no food served on Sunday evenings). With Penshust Place and Hever Castle located nearby and set in good walking countryside, this is a deservedly popular refreshment stop for walkers and dogs (spotted or otherwise).

This 14th century building was once the Bailiffs House for Sir Henry Dering's estate which was granted to him by King Charles II for his help in the civil war. the shape of the windows was degreed by Dering because he had escaped through one of this type when he was pursued by the roundheads. The pub stands in an outstanding position, for Pluckley is allegedly the most haunted village in England. 14 ghosts from the Civil War period appear regularly in the streets, churchyard and houses. The Black Horse itself is believed to be haunted by 4 ghosts of the Dering family. Featured in the "Darling buds of May" TV series. Re-opened 14th September 2024 after nearly a year of closure - more details to follow once surveyed. It is understood that cask ale has been re-introduced. Contact venue direct for precise food serving hours.

moc.smragnired@mij(01233) 840371
Very close to Pluckley station, Pluckley was the home of Sir Edward Dering, 1st Baronet, MP for Hythe and the Member for Kent in The Long Parliament. The Dering Arms was originally built as a hunting lodge for the family's weekend guests and owned by the estate, built around the time of the coming of the railway line from London to the Kent coast in the 1840s. The inn has a lot of Dutch gables and mullioned, arched and leaded windows, some etched with the Dering family's coat of arms. It has thick stone walls, studded oak doors, stone floors and a blazing log fire in winter. In the 17th century the Cavalier Dering escaped the Roundheads through one of the windows. The Dering estate was sold in 1928 and the guesthouse/hunting lodge became a pub. If you pull back the right-hand hand pump in the left bar, you will see, very faintly, the date of 1931 stamped on the quadrant part of the mechanism. A nice little bit of tying history together. The chef utilises fresh local ingredients and specialises in award-winning seafood but there’s plenty of choice for non-seafood lovers and with enough warning is prepared to shop for the ingredients to create your special meal. During the autumn and winter months there are black-tie gourmet evenings which include a 7-course gourmet meal and a chance to dress up in your best for a delightful and memorable meal.

Dating back to the 17th century with a tile-hung exterior, the Rose and Crown combines the warmth of a traditional Kentish country freehouse with a first-class restaurant. Situated off the beaten track between the villages of Pluckley, Egerton and Smarden, there are many good walks to be enjoyed nearby. The Rose and Crown lies in farmland in the heart of the Weald of Kent -- 'Darling Buds of May' country. The Village Bar is hop-entwined and has a welcoming fire; the saloon also features a log burner. The Rose and Crown actually sits directly on the parish borders of Egerton and Pluckley. The parish boundary actually splits the building leaving the bar in one parish and the toilets in the other. Pluckley has ghosts, or so the story goes ……..depending on who you talk to, the village and surrounding area has between 12 and 16 ghosts. The Guinness Book of Records which in 1989 named Pluckley the most haunted village in England, puts the figure at 12.

One of the town's oldest pubs in one of its oldest streets, York Street was built about 1700 when it was called the Hew End. This pub first appears in the rate book dated 1717. It was owned by Cobb of Margate as early as 1818, when it had the reputation as a disorderly house. In that year the Ramsgate magistrates urged Francis Cobb to control the outrageous conduct of his tenant at the 'Old Crown'. The pub changed its name to Jacksons Wharf for the past 10 or so years but after becoming part the Craft Union pub chain has reverted to its original name.

The pub seems to have had few changes in the last two hundred years, not least its interior has been spared the modern retro-fitting of various exposed timbers as structural decoration. So it has real authenticity. One quite unusual thing, is that contains a men’s hairdressing business. This must be unique to all of Kent and it is called Salt House Barbers, it operates from Tuesday to Friday and Sundays.

A pub with a large customer seating area with a fine view of the harbour. It does have planning permission, granted in June 2024, to build residential accommodation upstairs and a much reduced commercial area downstairs that initially would not be a pub or bar.

It's a steep climb to reach this small single room Victorian pub, which is notable for its tiled-roofed front and side veranda. It was one of the last pubs in the area to gain a full licence. It was saved from demolition in 2017 by a community group which now runs the pub on a not for profit basis with any money made put back into improving the pub facilities. It has a single C-shaped room with a long central bar, television screens at either end often showing Sky or BT Sports at a discrete volume, and a small side-room with a dartboard. The large pub garden has views across Redhill and there are also tables and a smoking area to the front of the building. The pub has a thriving social scene organising a range of activities including live music, karaoke, quizzes, raffles and brewery trips. The ghost of Albert, a former coachman who used to tie his horse up outside, is reputed to sometimes sit at one end of the bar. However, he means no harm and just sits on a stool at the left hand side of the bar.. At least three beer festivals are run annually. The large garden, with views across Redhill, is extremely well tended. Food trucks provide food from Thursday to Saturday. As well as the five cask beers, three craft keg beers are sold.

Dating from the 17th century, this comfortable and deceptively-spacious pub was once a workhouse with a hayloft for horses. It became Reigate’s Pilgrim Brewery’s first pub in 2022. The L-shaped bar offers up to five (mostly Pilgrim) cask beers, plus up to 12 keg lines (again mostly Pilgrim), and there’s a keen focus on other local artisanal products including wines and spirits. There are two further more secluded rooms tucked away to the left, and a cosy fireplace is on the right. Above the fireplace, on a beam, can be seen the former name of the pub, the Foresters Arms. It was in 1991 that the name was changed to the Hatch. The pub was a Shepherd Neame pub (and before that Friary Meux and then a free house). The frontage is a sun-trap with seating and a pleasant adjunct to the more dimly-lit interior. A local pizzeria take over the kitchen from Wednesdays to Sundays. The closing time may vary depending on custom.

This double-fronted, bow-windowed, cream-painted building dates from the mid 19th century with a significant addition in 1904. The original premises are recalled in a photograph of 1880 displayed inside. Surviving etched glass windows lettered "public bar", "saloon bar", "club room" and "coffee room" help give some idea how the building would have been divided and operated around 100 years ago. Displayed on the top shelf above the front bar are an amazing and possibly now unique set of five stubby ceramic-handled handpumps sitting on a pewter base inscribed "Hurst & Co. of Southwark". These were formerly the top of the casing which was built into the bar counter and were in daily use untyil a recent refurbishment. A Young's house since 1978, it was formerly a free house owned and run by Miss Sybil Starr who was born in the pub in 1901, and was licensee for 39 years from 1939. A pub frequented by loyal Young's drinkers and others who appreciate good beer and the pleasant atmosphere that pervades this hostelry. There is a large conservatory / dining room at the rear of the pub. Good food is served from 12-10 each day. The menu is seasonal and food is cooked to order. The provision of Young's seasonal beers (and occasional guest beers from other breweries) has been suspended because of the decrease in trade resulting from Covid-19, but is expected to be reinstated when trade revives sufficiently.

Standing in the centre of town on what was once the crossroads of the A25 and A23, this listed building dates from 1902. The pub's original name of the Wheatsheaf is still to be seen at the top of the building, and on the gable ends the name of the original owner, Nalder & Collyer, is proudly displayed.

Parts of this welcoming and characterful pub date back to the 16th century and over time the premises have seen the typical expansion into adjoining properties and outhouses, gaining all sorts of nooks and crannies in the process. The ceiling in parts is extremely low, even for buildings of this kind; whilst a set of flagstones in the back bar are said to be around 400 years old and were reputedly used as an influence in the set design of a Harry Potter film. There are several real fires. The pub was originally owned by Mellersh & Neale, Reigate brewers, eventually becoming a Friary Meux badged pub before being bought by Punch Taverns and there is a nice old photo of the pub in its Mellersh & Neale livery. A charming, characterful, and cosy pub selling excellent food which is available 12-3 and 6-9 on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday, 12-9:30 Friday and Saturday and 12-5:30 Sunday.

Conveniently located beside Reigate railway station, the Prince of Wales was refurbished inside and out in September 2013. In the 1800s the building was used to house railway workers. The garden, which backs onto the railway line, used to be a loading area for cattle bought and sold at Reigate market, and until the 1990s, British Rail still used to own it. Today the garden has a covered and seated smoking area. The pub is divided into three main drinking areas, all served from the same U-shaped bar. The main bar has a stripped wood floor and scrubbed deal tables, giving a bright airy feel. Prints of old Reigate adorn the walls. The back rooms are carpeted and in the far back room there is a large screen TV used for major sporting events, and large comfy sofas on which to lounge about. There is also a gas 'wood burner' for cold winter days. There is live music on Saturdays. Food is available each day from 12-9. Accommodation consists of four en-suite rooms. Outside is a table tennis table which is used when the weather is good. The guest beer will always be from Shepherd Neame.

At the end of the High Street, the Red Cross is one of the older pubs in Reigate. It is now trading under its original name again after becoming the Tap & Spile in 1995. With the original beams, bare floorboards, a large inglenook fireplace, leaded windows and the odd brick exposed wall, this place definitely feels like it has been around for a long time. Although one through room, there are two distinct drinking areas either side of the bar, which is opposite the main door. There is usually live music on Friday and Saturday and monthly 'open mic' night on Sunday. There is also a television for showing all major sports.

The Skimmington Castle started life as a farm 400 years ago. It became a pub in 1825 but in recent years has been more akin to a restaurant than pub, especially at weekends, meaning that drinkers may find all the tables taken by diners. The pub has a great location though, and on a sunny day, the beer garden is a wonderful place to enjoy a few pints, with or without a meal. Three beers are usually available, with the Pilgrim beer sometimes changing to Progress. Inside there are a number of rooms, including one down a few steep steps (where families are permitted), all served by the one bar. This is very much a cosy pub with lots of atmosphere. Low ceilings and a real fire only help to enhance this. Reigate Heath is a popular spot for walkers and the Skim is a favourite stopping off place for them. Note that Bonny's Road is a small turning off Flanchford Road, and cuts across the golf course. Speed humps mean you must go slowly. The pub is very dog friendly.

ku.oc.snrohehtyb@moorpat(020) 3417 7338
Having outgrown their original brewery site in Summertown near Wimbledon, where they had been operating since 2011, By The Horns opted to create a new brewery at a different site in 2020. They chose a modern industrial unit on The Io Centre industrial estate in Salfords, near Horley, Surrey, which opened for brewing operations in June 2021, although they retain a link to their London roots by keeping the original tap room at The Phoenix open.
The Salfords site was subsequently upgraded to allow for occasional open days at weekends, which began in March 2023, and following the success of these events, BTH expanded into the neighbouring unit, also in response to increased demand, and in February 2024 started a series of Saturday openings to run in alignment with showings of the Six Nations rugby tournament on a large wall-mounted television. These events were supported by a local food van and beer was served via a mobile bar. These proved very successful amongst a diverse local, family-friendly audience, and August 2024 saw them open a fixed bar in the new unit, and a move to a regular Saturday opening schedule, often in tandem with a live music performance by a local band, and with good street food continuing to be provided by their outsourced partner via a van at the front of the premises. Consideration is currently being given to increasing opening hours beyond just Saturdays.
The new bar features six of their keg options; however only one handpump was installed, meaning the maximum number of cask beers to be found at the Salfords Tap is only 1. Nevertheless, many more of their cask portfolio can now be found in various pubs in the east Surrey area, and the brewers have a strategy to have more of their beers served in pubs further afield.

The pub has several separate areas and is divided into a small drinking area and a restaurant. The drinking area has an inglenook, some original beams and a few photos of the old mill on its walls, with a TV on the end wall. The pub opens for breakfast each morning from 6:30 - 10:30 (7-11 Sunday) with the main food menu staring at noon each day. There are nappy-changing facilities in the disabled toilet.

The club is hidden away in a residential street, it can be found off the A23 at Honeycrock Lane, then off Southern Avenue.

The last example in Sevenoaks of a two bar back street local and the only remaining pub in the St Johns area of the town. The saloon bar was originally the sergeants mess for the local barracks and is considerably older than the public bar, hence the pub's name. Inside it has benefited from a refurbishment in the Spring of 2016. Westons Old Rosie cider on hand pump may be rotated with another during the course of the year. The three changing beers are sourced from the Greene King approved list where the likes of Adnams, Bath Ales, St Austell and Titanic may be found. Also an unusual ale may appear under a collaboration scheme with a guest brewer e.g. Penpont brewery.

An intriguing building that was constructed in the 17th century as a coaching inn on the Sevenoaks turnpike. Located immediately opposite the National Trust's vast Knole House and deer park, so ideally placed for a visit.

The walls are decorated with all manner of interesting old photos and historic posters. Beers from small south eastern brewers feature prominently among the choice available together. The solid whitewashed exterior leads to an open plan wood-floored interior while a lovely sunny patio and garden is tucked away at the back. High quality gastropub food is served seven days a week. Monthly dog walks are organised for the last Saturday of the month gathering at 10am for coffee and pastries, returning at 11.30 for a pint!

The parish of Shadoxhurst dates back 700 years with a parish church with lancet windows of the 13th century. The many footpaths and woods around the area offer plenty of interesting walks. The building dates back in part to 1580 and retains some fine architectural features, notably the old porch with the family crest of the original owners.
The Kings Head is a deceptively spacious typical country pub with an olde world charm, which caters for the local community as well as visitors with its comfortable bars and superb restaurant.
With the assistance of “Pub is the Hub” the outbuildings were converted in 2021 into a farm shop providing local produce and Community Café with a patio area for al fresco drinking.

Very popular with walkers and visitors drawn to this charming village located in the Kent Downs AONB. Note the mannequin dressed as a country yokel in the display case at the front of the pub (or was it one of the customers?) believed to resemble an ostler. This Ostler box is believed to be the only one of its kind left. The Ostler would sit in this box & receive customers' horses. Messages and beer would be passed to him through an internal window.

The pub is named for Samuel Palmer, a 19th Century landscape painter who lived in Shoreham - and the pub is decorated with prints of his work. It is now owned by The Mount Vineyard. The pub has been considerably smartened up (within the bounds of its listing). A new courtyard/terrace area has been opened up. Dogs are welcome in the main bar and terrace area, but not the main restaurant or function rooms. The intention is to have accommodation in a few rooms above the pub - though I don't think that element has opened yet. There is a fair emphasis on food - but it is also very much a pub to drop into to have a drink.

A most attractive building, parts of which date back to 1368. It became a pub in 1601 and the first landlord was Thomas Hart, a tenant of Pendell Manor near Bletchingley. As well as brewing and selling its own beer, at one time it also served as a post office and blacksmith. There are several original beams throughout and a large inglenook in the restaurant. The lower bar also benefits from a real fire. Look for the gaiter of a former pirate turned smuggler, John Trenchman, who died in the cellar of the pub after being pursued by the King's revenue men. Legend has it that if this gaiter is removed, his ghost returns to haunt the pub. His earthly remains lie in Godstone churchyard. A former Westerham Brewery house until 1965, it passed to Ind Coope, later to become part of Allied Breweries until it was sold to Greene King in the late 90s and is now owned by Hawthorn Leisure. The pub has a deserved reputation for good food, which is sold both in the restaurant and bar (booking recommended), as well as for its excellent beer. The bar area is low ceilinged and very cosy with high back settles. There is a pleasant garden at the rear with an umbrella for smokers and a children's play area. There are up to three guest beers with Hogs Back often featuring as well as local breweries such as Dorking and Weltons. Dogs are welcome in the bar, children are welcome inside and out, there is free WiFi and there are some board games available. Card-carrying CAMRA members get a discount here.

An odd name for a pub located in landlocked Surrey, although at least there is such an item affixed to this 1930s former Charrington pub's exterior. Although effectively a single bar pub by having only one counter providing service, there are also separate dining and snug bar areas. This is a mostly food oriented establishment, with meals available throughout the day from 12-10 (9 Sunday). A bar menu offers sharing platters, pizzas and pasta dishes whereas a separate restaurant area serves more substantial meals with fish being a speciality. The interior of the pub has a contemporary feel with black walls and white paint. The area to the right of the bar has a number of retro drink posters on the wall and elsewhere there are a number of pictures of anchors. The flooring is mostly wooden, broken up by carpet and throughout the pub are tables surrounded by sofas and comfortable seats. The guest beer changes approximately monthly and comes from a list of around 28 beers, mostly from the larger and medium sized independent breweries.

The main thing to notice during the summer is the fantastic flower display from the numerous hanging baskets on the front of the pub. The pub itself is an attractive red brick building with ground-floor shallow bow-fronted windows. Inside, little if any original features survive and the effect is open plan with different styles of seating areas with many dining tables. Good food is served all day and there are roasts on Sunday. There are two real fires. The pub was acquired by the Reigate brewery of Mellersh & Neale from R&F Pagden of Epsom in 1931, and was rebuilt in 1932. It ended its brewery owned days under the Friary Meux badge of the Allied umbrella and has now become a freehouse, having previously been a Punch leasehold. KT20 is Shepherd Neame Masterbrew and refers to the pub postcode. A keg ale and a lager also have names reflecting the pub's location. and is sold as the house bitter. Children are welcome away from the bar.

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.

Basically a restaurant converted from an old 19th century turreted village store in 1978, further changes were required in 1983 when the premises were gutted by fire. Today's incarnation consists of a small front bar with stainless steel counter and a seating area. This leads through to a much larger room dedicated to dining use; both areas are finished in contemporary style. Of particular interest are the series of photographs depicting the building at various historic stages of its life. The single handpump usually dispenses beer from Westerham, Cronx or Oxted breweries. There is a bar menu as well as an extensive and most impressive 3 course prix fixe menu. Closed Sunday evening and all day Monday. Food is available 12-2 Tuesday to Friday and 12-2:30 weekend lunchtimes and 7-9:30 Tuesday to Thursday and 7-10 Friday and Saturday evening. Accommodation comprises 7 rooms, two of which have easy access (but are not to full disabled standard).

The original part of this 16th century coaching inn on the London to Hastings route dates from 1540 and underwent a major extension and restoration in 2011, all carried out by local craftsmen, with plans for more to come. The history of the pub is represented by contemporary posters and general history is illustrated by an eclectic range of artefacts, such as a wooden back carved tollgate notice, a portrait by the Victorian artist Margaret Carpenter, the first ever female RA exhibitor and a bell dating from 1790, cast in the Whitechapel foundry. Kipling wrote poetry here. There are Graham Sutherland prints throughout the pub, which consists of a main bar including a restaurant area, the assembly room snug upstairs and the old stable converted into a function room, (see attached picture). Outside there is seating on the front terrace ,a rear patio area and garden designed by a Chelsea Flower Show gold medalist. The guest bedrooms are inspired by the derivation of the village's name which means "wooden hill where goats graze" and so each has a silver birch trunk featuring in the decoration. The pub has been developed in an idiosyncratic style to which it is difficult to do justice in words; if you are in the area it is well worth visiting for that reason, in addition to enjoying its beer and ambience. Breakfast is served 7.30-9.30 weekdays, 8-10 at weekends.

Set in an isolated and elevated position (850 feet, 259 metres), this is the highest pub in south-east England. It is on the edge of Titsey Plantation, and on land owned by the Titsey Foundation and has splendid views towards London. This white-rendered building was once a farmhouse dating from 1546. Local landowners, the Greshams, built the Royal Exchange in the City of London in 1571, and a grasshopper, which forms part of their family crest, can be found on the pub signage. It only entered licensed use comparatively recently (1994) having previously been tea-rooms since 1936. The inside is a cosy blend of low ceilings and doorways, real fires, three separate drinking areas and a little nook and cranny are all served by a longitudinal bar running the length of the rear. Three beers on sale are from the Titsey Brewery which is located in farm buildings near the pub with another from Westerham. In the Grasshopper room there is an unusual fireplace with an engraved mantelpiece believed to Turkish in origin. Similar engravings can be found on the flagstones as well. The pub is arguably the closest to the exclusive and "dry" village of Woldingham on the high ridge of the North Downs and the pub is almost on the North Downs Way. The Greenwich Meridian bisects the site. Although the layout of the listed building means that the toilets are accessed using steps the pub has a side entrance with a bell for wheelchairs and the staff will do their best to help. Dogs are welcome in the stone flagged part of the bar to the right as you enter the pub, but not on Sunday. WiFi is available and there are papers at the end of the bar, there is a baby change area in the ladies and outside there is a table with an umbrella for smokers. Note that the pub is closed on Tuesday.

Named after Sir James Scarlett, the first Baron of Abinger, the pub was built as two cottages in 1620, becoming a pub in 1907. It is the epitome of the traditional country pub with a stone-flagged floor and oak beams. There are several different drinking and eating areas. Immediately in front of the small bar dispense area there are stone slabs on the floor. This leads to the main bar area; this has wooden flooring. The highlight here is an inglenook containing a lovely open fire. Behind here is another cosy room with low ceilings and a stove. To the right of the bar is another room, this one with parquet flooring and another fire. This leads to a smaller room with a couple of tables and a dartboard and another stove. Throughout the pub are good wooden tables to sit at. The guest beer will be a seasonal ale from Badger. Outside is a very pleasant garden with a bouncy castle, a play area with tyres and a wild flower area. The car park opposite is not owned by the pub but they maintain it and their customers are the main users.

This is a real gem which is hidden away off the road and a certain determination is required from the first time visitor to discover it! Turn off by the pond and keep turning right - it really is there! The pub is down bumpy tracks so don't rush. This ex-Charrington's (previously Page & Overton's) pub combines the far end of a short terrace of cottages together with a 1950s red brick-built extension into what presumably would have been the front garden. The cosy, low-ceilinged, welcoming interior still consists of separate parquet floored public and carpeted saloon bars, both furnished with genuine bric-a-brac which can be found above the bar area on on ledges on the walls, plus real fires. Darts is also played, but you need to bring your own darts as none are available from the bar. The former Charrington's ownership is recalled by the leaded windows and illuminated wooden bar back. The pub dates back to around 1854 and remained an Ale House without a spirits licence until c.1950. Known locally as 'The Rat', from days gone by when stable lads from nearby Epsom Downs used to frequent it. Recommended on the Camra list of Historic Pub Interiors.

Facing Walton Heath and overlooking the village pond, the pub is named after the centre of a racing winning post. The original 1880 building has gained a later ground floor extension along the length of its front. Inside, the bar sits to the right, neatly dividing the floor space up between a front bar, a small side area round a fireplace and a rear dining room which has a central wood burning stove and leads to an outside decking area. There are also all weather wooden huts for dining outside down the side of the pub. The pub originally belonged to W F Hodgson's Kingston Brewery until its acquisition by Courage in 1943 and there is little to see of the original 1880 building. At the front is a wooden floored area which acts as the bar area. This leads to a large dining area which is split into smaller sections. The menu changes frequently and features a number of dishes cooked on the premises. Meals are served all day from 12-9:30 (8:30 on Sundays). There is free Wi-Fi and papers and dogs are welcome in the bar area at the front. There are a couple of disabled parking spaces in front of the pub and baby change facilities inside.

Parts of this pub date from 1815 and it once incorporated a brewhouse and bakery. Today the pub has been much altered and this Young's outpost has an attractive red brick and half-timbered exterior which conceals a central servery adjoined by at least five interconnecting bars and seating areas, each with its own character and atmosphere. The largest bar is the Garden bar to the rear, and this has a small wood-burning stove plus plenty of mismatched wooden tables. The pub was once the terminus of London General bus route 180 (later 80A) and there was a semi-circular bus pull-in immediately in front of the pub. A large garden at the back hosts barbecues and has a Burger Shack in the spring and summer months; there is also plenty of seating outside the front of the pub. Food is served 10-9 Monday to Thursday, 10-10 Friday and Saturday and 12-9 Sunday. One of the guest beers is almost always from a local brewery with the other guest either also being from a local brewery or from the Young's stable. Cider can be found in a container in a bottle fridge behind the bar. There are good facilities for children including a special menu plus play equipment in the garden. The garden also has a couple of pagodas with heating for smokers and there are a couple of sets of bike racks. There are also baby change facilities in the disabled toilet area. Disabled access to the pub is from the rear car park. Various areas of the pub can be hired for parties, meeting and presentations. There is a weekly quiz and live music most months.

Reopened under new owners and refurbished, this 16th century house is set in the heart of this rural and quiet village opposite the church. It was originally a smugglers inn, the interior contains two staircases and a hoard of trap doors connecting rooms and attic spaces. These were obviously used by smugglers escaping from the Revenue men in previous days. The interior is low ceiling with lots of atmosphere and a large patio area at the front overlooking the church and open fields. Meals are prepared from fresh produce from Romney Marsh and the local area. Changing draught beers are from Kentish breweries along with local ciders from the surrounding orchards. Wines are also from local vineyards.

There is little to detract from the most attractive façade of this ancient building, the oldest part being the middle section which is believed to date from 1467, when it was a farm house with attached cottages. It has been a pub since at least 1784 from which date all its innkeepers have been recorded. It is flanked to the left by a pretty tile hung building and to the right by a rather out of character extension dating from around 1900, which replaced the original stable block. The interior is a warren of rooms ancient and modern. The nooks and crannies are a delight to explore but do watch your head! Building work a few years ago added a kitchen and improved access to the garden. The blend of old with contemporary does actually seem to work well together. The cask beer is reasonably priced (and are even cheaper on Monday). CAMRA members receive a discount on the real ales on production of their membership card. Food is available all day from 12-10. Dogs are welcome in the old bar.

Steps to the left of the front lead to a large enclosed garden with covered al fresco eating areas and a play area for children.

The ever changing ales include mild, old in winter and a selection of bitters from far and wide with the likes of Bass, Timothy Taylor, West Berkshire and LocAles popular. The Cider is from Hereford. A short menu of excellent freshly prepared pub food is available (not Sunday evenings). The long cosy bar features a copper bar top and a large copper hooded open fire.

It is refreshing and laudable that a private company acquired the land and rebuilt the establishment in an area devoid of pubs owing to historical restrictive covenants. The emphasis is on good beer, good food and comfortable surroundings. Taken over by Shepherd Neame in 2019 and guest beers from other breweries believed to have been discontinued.

Near to the village green a big wisteria drapes the front, a most obliging tree which flowers once in the spring and again in the summer. There are tables and chairs outside to enjoy it from. The middle part of the house is old, with exposed beams. Below are some cellars, not all of which would have be easy for a Revenue man to spot. The last battle between George Ransley’s gang and the dragoons was fought on the green. He and 13 others were sentenced to death at Maidstone Assizes which was later reduced to deportation for life.

This former cafe opened as Worthing's third Micropub in 2016 and quickly built an enthusiastic local following. Offering 5 or 6 gravity dispensed real ales (one of which is always a dark ale) and a number of ciders, plus perry and mead, the drinks menu has recently expanded to include a range of interesting gins in addition to a selection of European wine. The temperature controlled cellar, featuring an original stained glass window, is central to the main drinking area which is simply furnished with mainly high level tables/benches. The lay-out is intended to promote conversation and in this, it generally succeeds. The whole is well served by natural light due to it's mainly glazed corner position and this in turn offers interesting street views including a wide range of driving techniques which form the subject of much debate among the patrons.
