Deep in the Surrey Hills this super cosy traditional freehold pub has it all. We loved it’s cosy fires and delicious menu, packed with local vegetables and meat reared on its own farm. There is even a fantastic farm shop next door to stock up on fresh local goodies. Dogs are very welcome and there are plenty of walks to suit all, from a wistful wander around the green to working up an appetite trekking to the top of nearby Leith Hill.

This three time-winner of Surrey and South West London’s ‘Pub of the Year’ is a mere stones throw from the stunning surroundings of Hampton Court and Bushy Park. Perfect for a quick pint of two The Foresters is dog-friendly in the bar area and has lots of cosy nooks to hunker down in or you can watch the world go by on one of its perfectly placed benches outside.

Nestled on the banks of the River Thames, The Boaters is brilliant for beer lovers and happy hounds. The beer garden is an idyllic spot to soak up those springtime rays after a riverside walk and if you pop along on a Sunday expect some live Jazz as you while away the afternoon.
