This is a large roadside pub, set on the busy A25 Guildford to Dorking main road, and has a 300 year history. There are large well-appointed bar areas, including a conservatory providing a number of comfortable eating and drinking areas, all served from a single serving point. Outside, ample lawns form an excellent beer garden, with views over the North Downs. Formerly a Surrey Trust Company house, it later belonged to Fullers, who sold it to Bass in the 1990s. Food is a major feature with restaurant areas taking half the available interior space. Food is served from 12-10 every day except Sunday when it is 12-9. There are two real fires. Two cask beers with St Austell Tribute regular, and one changing cask beer. There are steps up from the main road but none on the paved path through the garden from the car park to the front entrance.
