A fairly basic straight forward pub, L shaped with varios seating, some set for casual dining. Three pumps with Doombar,Hogsback TEA and Otter Poppy Otter available. Although the pub is rather average the beer garden is particularly impressive ,well planted and spacious accessed via a decked outside terraced area.

A fairly nondescript L shaped pub that nonetheless boasts a large and impressive grassed beer garden with nice views of the Surrey Hills. The left area is the nicest, with some cosy touches and a dart board whilst the right is more of a public bar style area with TV sports. External pool room to rear. Selection of newspapers available. Three ales, Wychwood Piledriver (spluttered and died), Pride and a lacklustre Doom Bar. Everything seemed a bit haphazard (exemplified by the tables not being cleared of what looked like Ollie Reed’s last drinking session). There’s enough here to make this a good pub but my visit didn’t overly inspire.
