Proper Surrey Pub with Rooms

We stand proudly (and prettily) at the top of Esher High Street.

Our lovely pub with rooms has housed weary travellers, and welcomed locals inside for over three centuries – so, it’s safe to say we’re a dab hand when it comes to hospitality.

Come on in and head straight to our bar – which is jam-packed with local ales, cool craft-y beers, regularly changing cocktails, and awesome wines from around the world.

You’re going to love our food too. Our clever kitchen team whip up all your favourite pub classics – such as crispy fish & chips, hearty pies, and banging bangers & mash –oh, and our Sunday roasts are blooming lovely too (if we do say so ourselves)

We’ve got 9 charming bedrooms that are great (nay – perfect) for a brief business trip, a weekend getaway, race-day stayovers, or for a longer, more relaxed holiday with the family – and of course, not forgetting the dog.

Your Local Pub

Prop up the bar for a pint and a chinwag. Grab a table in the garden for a lunch. Pick up a menu jam-packed with well-cooked traditional pub classics. Tuck into a Sunday roast that is (probably) better than your Nan’s. And you can watch all the sports on the telly.

Everything you’d want out of a proper pub – right in the heart of Esher.

Open for Breakfast

We’re grilling up a good brekkie from 7am weekdays and 8am weekends. So, wander in for a mid-week morning meeting (with a graze at the breakfast table) or a full-on fry up on a Saturday.

Sandown Race Days

With Sandown Racecourse a short stumble away from the pub, we’re the perfect place to come for a pre-race-day breakfast or for a post-races drink (and a bit of a dance).

Our Raceday parties are legendary. With the Burger Shack firing out chin-dribblingly good food and the garden full of smiling happy people, the vibes are always excellent.

Stay in one of our nine bedrooms and you don’t even have to worry about hailing a cab. Happy days (and nights).

Best Sunday Roast

Crisp tatties, enormous Yorkie pubs (the size of your head) and bottomless gravy. Our Sunday roasts are a button-popping, settle-in-for-the-day kind of wonderful. Best in Esher, so we’ve heard.
