Overview
Hidden away down lanes in a sleepy village deep in the
scenic Surrey Hills, this tiled-hung gem oozes character and
traditional 16th-century charm.
Step into the classic Village Bar to find a crackling fire in
the huge inglenook, bare boards, beams and timbered walls, and
scrubbed tables topped with church candles and fresh flowers. The
atmosphere is cosy and friendly, so expect to see dogs dozing by
the fire and locals chatting over pints at the bar.
Lana and Peter de Savary bought the pub in 2017, sprucing up the
rooms, adding four above the bar and five bespoke and stylish
shepherd's huts in the meadow across the lane in 2019. In keeping
with the look and feel of the pub, food is equally traditional,
both the menu and chalkboard specials feature well-cooked pub
classics.
There's a flower-filled garden to the rear, popular in summer
with walkers and cyclists, and children will enjoy meeting the 9
llamas in the paddock beyond. Book one of the Llama Picnic Treks
and explore the Surrey Hills.
