A rural gem nestled away in attractive countryside down a narrow lane, yet surprisingly not far from the M25 and the towns of Reigate and Coulsdon. 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.
