Dorking's oldest pub on the main congested A25 one-way system through the town. It's a Shepherd Neame pub, but look beyond that and you will find a nice traditional pub with low beams and several different sections including a narrow front bar and slightly larger room at the rear, all suitable for both drinking and dining.

4 Shepherd Neame ales were on. Spitfire is a regular. Also on were Master Brew, Whitstable Bay & a seasonal beer called It's Coming Home. I tried the latter, which was drinkable. Although my tastebuds were still affected by the strong zesty nature of the beer I had had in Cobbett's just up the road.

Another dog friendly pub. I'm not sure I've done a crawl before where I've found dogs in the majority of pubs!

Another old pub on West Street, complete with creaky floorboards,low white ceiling with black stained timber beams, a long horseshoe shaped central bar which the main room wraps itself around with a couple of offshoot nook and cranny areas along the way.There is a courtyard beer garden.Five pumps on the bar with four in action,all Sheps beers, Master Brew, Spitfire,Whitstable Bay and Bishops Finger. A very nice pub, though a couple of guest ales wouldn't go amiss.

A Sheps pub retaining a good deal of the historic interior (on speaking to the friendly manager I found out that parts of the building are at least 300 years old and the evidently historic right hand room was formerly a militia recruitment office!). A rambling multi area’d, dark varnished wood interior with cross-hatch leaded windows and chunky furnishings. Enter to the main bar with a raised area to the right - note the impressive dark wood panelling, especially the I RM roundel (1st Royal Militia). Five pumps, four ales on from Sheps; Spitfire, Master Brew, Bishops Finger and Late Red (good though a bit cold). Beware that one of the two rear patios (by the dining room) is non-smoking. Worth dropping in to soak up some history.
