I remember, think his name was Andy, guy with a beard who use to own this pub. We are talking about the late 80's. Great pub back then. Today, still a nice place. Pool table has gone.. Oh well but they did have football on so not is all lost. What happened to Andy?

The Falkland Arms is a former Young's pub slightly out of town. It's a comfortable two room pub with a rear patio and garden and seating at the front and side of the building. This was my first visit since the current tenants have been in place. I had a couple of pints of Surrey Hills Shere Drop, which was in excellent nick and fairly priced. The welcome was really friendly and for a Monday evening, it was good to see the pub quite busy and a lively atmosphere! Young's Ordinary was also available. An effort is being made here; give it a try!

Friendly little town pub in the heart of Dorking. Just popped in for a meeting and had a coke so can't give too much info on food etc but they didn't have coffee although they did offer to make an instant one.

came in with my parents and 13month old for one drink, used to come often but since change of hand has had bad reviews from locals so haven’t so thought I’d see for myself. We were the only people In there which is terrible for 2pm a Sunday afternoon when it should be buzzing Like any normal pub. The horrible grumpy landlord (known for his bad presence and rudeness) told me my son who at the time was standing next to me was all aloud to be unattended (well baby still holding onto my leg) then I said ok, but Proceeded to give me and my family that looks the whole time we were there for a drink.I would understand if any other customer there not there wasnt. The young blonde girl was lovely and understanding. The old horrid man was not. Won’t be going again like 95% of Dorking

No body oin the bar where we were sitting. 4 adults and one toddler. Lady behind bar was pefectly friendly and also young bar maid. Grumpy old man came out and told my daughter to supervise my grandson even though he was just toddling around in an empty bar. The old man gave us several dirty looks and made us feel uncomfortable whilst we were finishing our drinks, we left and will never return. Disgusting customer service., no wonder empty.

This place was recommended by a work colleague who had lived locally years back and it certainly lived up to its billing. The food is not anything fancy but, for what it is, it is good. Well prepared and well presented. The beer was good too. A couple of guest ales that had us regretting that we had each driven here! The outstanding point was the staff. Truly excellent. Although clearly not local, we were made to feel so welcome. I so wish this was more local to me.

We popped in for a drink one weekday lunchtime. Very quiet and no food Mondays or Tuesdays, but they happily agreed nevertheless to make us a baguette. It was very tasty and served with a generous salad garnish, and only £4.50. The bar staff were really helpful, the choice of beers good. But the best bit was the beautiful walled garden. A peaceful and sunny spot, with plenty of tables and some sofas as well, under a canopy or in the open. Prettily planted and a lovely atmosphere. We’ve eaten there in the evening as well, good value, especially on steak night, although not a huge menu. Certainly a hidden gem in Dorking.

Since we first moved to Dorking, we were exploring the area for a good local pub that serves good food. We happened to pop in by chance on a hungry evening and were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere and warm welcome by Chrissy, the owner and Michael, the chef. The food they offered was top class and it made us feel at home. As we were in the process of planning our wedding, we thought that the pub would be ideal. The owners and the chef really helped in organising the venue and the menu, taking a lot of the stress away from us. The professional attitude, enthusiasm, creativity and years of experience created a fantastic day for us and our guests, even though the weather wasn't so kind to us:) All of our guests commented on the very high quality of the food and the presentation, but without removing the relaxed nature of the place created by the staff. We can't recommend it highly enough and it will be always very special to us!

Well, I live in Westcott, shop in Dorking but have never drunk or eaten in the Falklands Arms until yesterday. All that's going to change!Walked into an instantly friendly feeling nice open bar area with an excellent beer choice (and kept in an excellent condition too, it has to be said).Table was pre booked by others in the family so we walked into the restaurant area and sat down to a well laid out, well spaced table. Orders taken almost immediately with a choice of three different roasts. I went for the beef and was served with an absolutely gorgeous plate of perfectly cooked rare (as ordered) meat, roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings. Further bowls of fresh hot vegetables and more Yorkshires followed. All piping hot and delicious. Good wine too, didn't see the list as someone else chose but the Merlot we had was excellent.Dessert was apple pie with cream, custard or ice cream. I asked for all three and got them!! No small portion either!!I could go on, the service, the friendliness, the happy atmosphere. Nothing was too much trouble and I loved it.Going again - Oh yes!

Paul and the team at the Bell were fantastic! Super accommodating and friendly team. We booked a baby shower and it was confirmed in minutes with the team we organised food that would be served and they set up a perfect area for us in the corner of the pub. We had originally tried to book at the Bear in oxshott who were making it an extreme task and were only allowing a two hour time slot along with a reservation fee! We are glad we then turned to The Bell who made it all super simple and a special day for us to remember without any hassle to organise. Lovely food and drinks and great service.

The King William IV is a very pretty pub, just off the A24 close to Mickleham. It was built in 1790 as an estate workers ale house for Cherkley Court, which now is Beaverbrook golf course. The building itself is quite unusual, being multi-level as it is built on the side of a steep hill. The garden is terraced and the stunning view up to Norbury Park, make it one of Surrey's most attractive beer gardens! They sell some excellent local beer in very good condition! I've not eaten there for a long time but from what I've seen going on with the food, it looks very good. Something I'm not a fan of, which puts me off going more often, is the mandatory table service. This is no reflection on the staff, who are swift and friendly but I'm a bit old fashioned and just don't like faff and people fussing over me. The pub doesn't have a lot of standing room, the bar itself is small and the staff get very busy with food service; so it makes perfect sense if it's a group or you're ordering food/getting repeat drinks orders during a meal, to be served at table. However, in my case, I'm just there for the beer, either solo or in a pair and would really prefer to just buy a pint or two at the bar at take a seat! Instead, you have to be seated and given a menu, then they return for your order, come back with the drink/s, turning into a forth visit with change, should you wish to pay with cash. Bit of a rigmarole for a pint! That's just my personal gripe but this is a lovely pub worth visiting!
