Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Wiremill Inn
Rather hidden away Hall & Woodhouse pub (unless you happen to spot from an aircraft coming into or out of Gatwick), this place has the unusual diversion of water-skiers practicing their craft on the adjoining lake. The building looks like a lodge or pavilion from a distance, but there's plenty of space inside. However, the waterside patio terrace is the place to be if the weather's any good. Just Tanglefoot (£5.60) available from the pair of handpumps, but a reversed Best Bitter clip could be seen on the other.

I'm surprised no-one has reviewed the Wiremill. Maybe, like me they've driven along the A22 so many times, been distracted by the Mormon temple, then seen the sign, and made a mental note to stop next the time, and next time, and next time and never quite got there.
It is however well worth making the effort and turning off down the lane past the stockbroker belt houses to find the old mill there perfectly situated by the lake. Inside it's a quirky sort of building on at least three levels and, despite some gastro pretensions it has managed somehow to avoid the excesses of pub design consultancies.
There's a nice range of beers, including examples from Dark Star and Westerham as well as Harvery's Best and TT Landlord this morning, and even on a Sunday lunch you are not shoved in a corner to enjoy them to make way for the eaters. Despite the gastro-ness they've kept it reasonable pubby in style.
Well worth a visit, good in winter and it must be brilliant on a hot summer's evening.
