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.
