The Duke of Cambridge

Opposite Hankley Common Golf Club near Tilford, you'll uncover The Duke of Cambridge sitting pretty among all the surrounding greenery. The space walks a tasteful line between contemporary and the look of a cosy, traditional pub, while the menu is filled with gastro favourites.

Bell

Boasting rustic charm and plenty of National Trust walks nearby, Bell is one of the best country pubs in Surrey for a reason. Take in the stunning landscapes, all before exploring the seasonal menu, made up of tasty plates like moules mariniere and arancini balls.

The Plough Effingham

Touting alfresco jazz nights, crackin' Sunday lunches and a range of fresh ales, The Plough Effingham is a real triple threat. Come rain or shine, this gorgeous haunt has plenty of space to bask in the sunshine or get all cosy inside with a fresh pint of the good stuff in hand.

Mill

Perched by the water, Mill has made quite the name as one of the finest gastro pubs in Surrey. Book a private event across the gorgeous space adorned with idyllic exposed beams, or pop inside for a few elevated mains. Think charcuterie boards and passionfruit creme brulees.

King & Queen

If you fancy playing a few rounds of poker, the King & Queen in Surrey is a drinking den with a difference. Make your way to Caterham and bluff your way to victory in the games room, all before checking out the mouthwatering food options.

The Home Cottage

The Home Cottage is located in Redhill town centre, boasting an excellent choice of real cask ales, craft beers and wines. As for the menu? You can munch on pub classics including Sunday roasts and pies, with a menu that changes every season.

Ye Olde Red Lion Sutton

Head to Ye Old Red Lion Sutton to enjoy a tipple or two in a charming traditional pub. While surrounded by wood-panelled walls, quirky artwork and cosy seating, get stuck into refreshing brews and hearty grub. Or if you pop by in the warmer months? This joint also has a sprawling beer garden.

The Hare and Hounds Claygate

The Hare and Hounds in Claygate is a traditional English pub bursting with character. Overlooking the quaint village, the boozer is at the heart of the local community, providing a crackling log fire, delicious ales and beer, plus some seriously good grub. On the menu, you'll find the likes of 10z ribeye steak, served with bearnaise sauce and chips, chicken burgers plus tasty sandwiches like croque monsieurs and madames. 

Fox & Pelican

Chow down on traditional British plates at the Fox & Pelican in Guildford. From avocado and red chilli salsa bruschetta topped with spring onions to beer-battered haddock complemented by crushed minted peas, this foodie venue has plenty up for grabs.

The White Horse, Surrey

When it comes down to the best pub food in Surrey Hills, The White Horse is a real winner. This award-winning country destination flaunts a beautiful terrace, alongside a cosy indoor space that's perfect for those lazy Sunday lunches with loved ones.

The Stag on the River

A pub near Godalming that's set right next to the River Wey for a picturesque, waterfront location, The Stag on the River is a great pick of old Surrey pubs. It's been around since the 17th century but now boasts a stunning mix of open fires, cosy booths, modern touches and an outdoor space.
