The Running Horses in Mole Valley

A hidden gem just off the A24 near Box Hill, this is a great place to eat or stop over. Staff are friendly and accommodating and food is top drawer.

This is my second visit and I love the location, ambience of this pub. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food delicious. I had the lamb cutlets roast dinner, which was wonderful. My partner the butternut roast. Dad had fish and chips his favourite. Our thoughtful waiter offered a smaller portion for Dad as he has a small appetite and it was perfect. I was impressed. I will certainly be back.

After a long walk, this was a welcome rest, with a fantastic bowl of wild garlic soup and sourdough toast. Delicious. Dogs were welcome too.

Steak night at the Running Horses was excellent. The staff were warm and attentive . We enjoyed the three course meal very much. The Australian shiraz ‘Hanging snakes ‘ for £20 with the steak deal is a very good wine and is on their drinks menu for a great deal more. An enjoyable evening.n

Great pub, beautiful Sunday roast great ambience and service and excellent ales. Perfect after hiking in the Surrey countryside

Wonderful Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Great atmosphere, food and service. Must have been one of the busiest days of the year but the service was still fantastic. Vegan option excellent, including a great chocolate dessert. Can’t wait to return

Booked a table for 8 for my birthday lunch - lovely meal and sticky toffee pudding 😋 and a walk in the hills and back for a nice cup of tea!

Great food, best Caesar Salad ever and efficient friendly service. Good menu choice, great range of cocktails, a warming fire and beer as good as the food

The running horses is the best pub around for any meal of the day. We are always welcomed with the friendliest faces and the most delicious food!

What a roast! Wow exactly what we were after following a walk at box hill. Beautiful building opposite an exquisite ancient flint church. Cute outdoor area with a fire. We will be back.

My daughter visited this pub recently and reminded me what a lovely pub it was as we hadn't been for years. So I booked for a date night with my husband and wasn't disappointed. The food was excellent, the staff lovely and friendly and they let our dog sit with us The decor was cosy but modern. I will definitely return soon. Julie

Lovely village style pub with restaurant area. Excellent food, ambience, wine and service. Also dog friendly in the bar area although I didn’t have my 4 legged friends with me this time.

We had a lovely family mid week lunch here. The inside of the pub is particularly beautiful. I was disappointed that they did not have the gluten free fish and chips from what was already limited gluten free options. The meal I did choose was nice - but not outstanding - but everyone else I was with had what looked like (and what was reported as) really great food. Staff were friendly and attentive. We will be back.

This is a gem of a rural pub. The ambience is wonderful, from the moment we walked in to an open fire and greeted with a welcome smile at the bar we had a wonderful relaxing experience. We had the choice of an a la carte and lunch menu both of which had several different choices. The beer and wine choices were good too. I had a great local beer from Brakespears. Will definitely venture to The Running Horses again .

Went with a large crowd of friends, (11 people), and all of us had a superb meal. All the courses had a novel take on a traditional dish, from the skate served with Kohlrabi Slaw & Gochujang Mayo to mussels cooked with Nduja. Brilliant combinations. The only downside is the restricted parking but will definitely be returning.

Perfect place to meet family we hadn’t seen for a while. Very welcoming place. Log fire, very attentive staff, fabulous food and very reasonably priced. Will definitely return.

Fantastic, traditional pub serving amazing food with great staff. Open fire in the pub, great wine list as well!! Highly recommend

I had a nice stay there with my daughter. Very authentic, gorgeous place, friendly staff and delicious food (dinner and breakfast). Loved the music ! Will definitely come back.

Shared the starters and the steak main course but as it was 1kg even two of us didn’t quite manage to finish it Service was friendly but a little haphazard. We enjoyed the food, the steak was slightly more chewy than expected but very tasty and well cooked.

Was not expecting the food to be as excellent as it was - really top notch stuff but for prices that are comparable with pubs. Service was attentive and accommodating and we didn't have to wait too long for anything even though it was fairly busy. Refreshingly positive experience all round.

Running Horses is such a lovely cosy pub with restaurant. The food is good quality and the service is impeccable. Not stayed so not sure about the rooms but if the rest of the pub is to go by I reckon it's a good bet! Definitely recommended.

Beautiful pub with excellent service 🤩

Wonderful atmosphere, very friendly, helpful staff. Sunday roast was delicious. Will definitely go back for another visit.

Lovely pub , great ambience , delicious food , excellent service ! The Sunday roast and the sticky toffee pudding are simply divine

I went here for Sunday lunch with some friends. The pub itself is beautiful and nice to dine in. The staff were ok, they didn’t write our order down and got a few wrong which is frustrating and the two roast beefs were very very pink, a bit too pink for my liking.

Great pub with good beer, excellent food and service.

Good food and great atmosphere. Some really nice hikes around as well. Highly recommend

Great choice after a Box Hill hike

Stayed the night here and was really looking forward to it after hearing many good things, especially about the food. Found the staff in the resteraunt/bar to be dismissive and rushed. Almost all the tables had issues with ordering and receiving their food. The menu was missing half the items, so don't expect to be able to order what you want if you do look it up ahead of time. Mains came before our starters, though the starters never actually arrived as they then later claimed they had run out, before serving the same dish to people who ordered after us. After all that, can't say the food is anything memorable. Average pub food you could find almost anywhere without the hefty price tag.Could have simply been an off day, but if it was they weren't remorseful or apologetic.

Food was terrible. Sirloin steak (£27) tasted burnt like it had been cooked on a dirty grill. Battered haddock (£16) was over cooked - the batter was very thick and bitter, and the fish was slimy. Chips with both meals were very dark and inedibly salty.

The venue and especially the food was excellent and the chef needs to be congratulated on producing superb quality food, presented very well. However, unfortunately the levels of service by the front of house team let the whole experience down due to incorrect and late dishes arriving late and on some occasions multiple orders being duplicated which was such a waste. I sincerely hope this was a one off experience as it should not anyone off from visiting this venue which I would always highly recommended.

I stayed for 4 nights at the Running Horses. I ate dinner there one evening and had the 35 day aged steak cooked to perfection. Excellent service from Michelle and the rest of the team. Fareed who was on duty at breakfast and throughout the day is a great asset to this establishment being extremely helpful, amusing and hard working. My observation, though, is that staff look tired probably because they are understaffed?Peter Ledger Portugal

Good vegan options. Loved the ratatouille, and the vegan mango pavlova. Lovely staff. Very handy for the excellent 465 bus service. We’ll be back soon.

We wanted to say a huge thank you to the running horses for amazing hospitality and delicious food!! Mike, the groom, stayed here the night before our wedding at St Michael’s church and received such a warm welcome from Tom and the team. Our guests also loved visiting the pub the morning of the wedding so hats off to the team there!They had dinner there the night before and breakfast the morning of and said it was delicious! The rooms were beautifully furnished and the beds were really comfy! We also went to the running horses for dinner after our wedding rehearsal with the family and had another delicious dinner. We also really enjoyed meeting Tom and getting some great advice for a happy marriage! Thanks again and we will definitely be back soon! Xx

My girlfriend and I visited the pub for food after being recommended by the staff at Denbies vineyard.The food was brilliant and couldn't recommended it anymore to people. Will be going back in the near future.The staff couldn't do enough for you, topped off with the Manager taking my girlfriend and i to the train station as we couldn't get a taxi and were going to miss our train.

Excellent quality food, beautifully cooked good selection of gins etc., service was friendly and efficient. Lovely surroundings, full of character, plenty of tables outside too.

I had a really incredible evening enjoying the wonderful food the running horses had to offer. I would highly recommend the restaurant and will definitely be back again soon!

We stayed here for one night, and had dinner. The manager was extremely friendly, and gave us a really personal service - we couldn't have felt more welcome. The food was lovely and the atmosphere really cosy - this is a well maintained proper British countryside pub. There are lovely walks nearby, and the village is very pretty with a beautiful church across the road. The room was lovely, well kept, clean and quiet with a large and stylish bathroom. Our only complaint would be that breakfast in the morning was a very slow service (we were there for close to an hour), but it was lovely on arrival.

We've just stayed for 3 nights at the Running Horses in Mickleham. Despite a few difficulties to do with post-lockdown re-opening, the staff were delightful and friendly and couldn't do enough for us. Our room was large and quiet and the food really was superb - some of the best pub food we've tasted. They were super-busy over the bank holiday weekend so the wait times for food might have been slightly longer than pre-covid but this didn't detract from our enjoyment. We also enjoyed some beautiful walks from the pub - both along the river valley and up Boxhill. We would highly recommend a visit!

This is a very friendly pub with a very pleasant, relaxed ambiance and a warm, cosy interior. It’s a very relaxing place for a drink or a meal, situated opposite a beautiful church in a quiet spot. What could be nicer!

Although we'd booked a table in the restaurant we were given a table in the bar area. The young man behind the bar said he would bring over our menus, which he did - twenty minutes later! Another twenty minutes passed before he returned to take our drinks order and, realising service was going to be slow, we ordered our food too, a sandwich, a burger and scallops with a side of fries. Fifteen minutes went by before the waitress brought our drinks. After half an hour we asked her when we would be likely to receive our food. She apologised, saying they were understaffed (really?!) and there was only one chef. She returned immediately with a pathetic plate of a few overcooked i.e. burned (but lukewarm) scallops, hidden under a tepid green sauce, without the side of chips. The other dishes had not arrived by the time the scallops had been eaten so I went to the bar to complain. The young man again said they were understaffed and the chef was on his own. Ten minutes later our dishes arrived - the portion of fries that should have come with the scallops, two dry burgers in a bun with a side order of barely warm fries, a pot of coleslaw and some chicken and avocado slapped into a sliced baguette. The total cost of our food, an eye-watering £40.20. Responsibility for this appalling experience lies with the management for allowing inexperienced members of staff to run the restaurant and bar by themselves and to have just one chef in the kitchen while offering a full lunch menu.

We are shortly moving to Dorking & had our sights on trying out The Running Horses. What a delight - staff amazing & very accommodating to a sun worshiping hubby (bear in mind outdoor eating only!). Grazing platter with extras -divine - steak wonderful - all washed down with IPA (hubby) & NZ Sauvignon - we are visiting again - & once we move - there will be regular visits with all our family - be warned running horses - there’s loads of us

Went with my family for a pub lunch- The waiting staff were excellent, in particular the waiter Farid, who’s hilarious sense of humour kept us entertained the whole time. The food was good quality, and arrived pronto. Overall, brilliant.

We had the most beautiful lunch at the Running Horses. The food was exquisite. All the staff were kind and courteous. There was such a fabulous atmosphere. Everyone looked so happy to have some normality again we will definitely be returning.

We booked a table for a stop on the Box Hill hike. The food was hearty and excellent - the kids portions were just right - and the staff were super helpful in explaining the new COVID secure arrangements. Would heartily recommend. My only tip would be to do the Box Hill hike in reverse (a bit of a faff as it’s only signposted in one direction) as the pub (and the village of Micklesham) are two-thirds of the way round the hike. Highly recommend!

I took my mother there for a birthday lunch today. We were made to feel very welcome by all the staff and service was brilliant. We both enjoyed our meals - the ale battered haddock and chips was excellent apparently and I loved my veggie cottage pie. Apple crumble also highly recommended! All in all, good food, good service in a relaxing and atmospheric environment.

We had a lovely meal at the Running Horses, I had the flat iron steak, which melted in my mouth and was delicious. My husband had the double burger which was equally as nice.

First day out of lockdown - we chose this old favourite and we’re not disappointed. They are taking COVID safety seriously within detracting from the enjoyment of an English country pub lunch. A warm welcome, happy, enthusiastic service and delicious food.

We had a peaceful weekend and long night sleeps. It’s a quiet location conveniently located near Box Hill and Dorking. The pub itself is cozy with a great fireplace and smokey wooden smell. The rooms definitely need some renovation, and service could be improved. Overall ok.

Wonderful relaxed Sunday lunch, delicious vegan wellington. Great friendly service, gorgeous country pub with a real fire, busy which is lovely to see but not noisy so was able to have a chilled lunch.

It's a pub we've been to many times and has a good ambience. Today we had a surly attitude from a male member of staff when asked (unnecessarily and possibly unlawfully) whether we could PROVE we had an exemption to wearing a mask - it's doubtful anyone could or would want to prove it in the pub and if a customer has a disability it's a private matter. Even though the restaurant and pub were not busy the service was exceptionally slow. Short measure on a glass of beer had to be topped up. We weren't offered a dessert menu so had to go and ask for the bill then left. To top it all the pub phoned to say we hadn't paid yet if they cleared their tables more efficiently they would have seen the money (with minimal tip!)

Good food, but glacial service. We would have stayed for desert if the table had been cleared and desert menu offered. Then we were phoned to say we had left without paying (we left cash in the table- this they had not checked). All in all not a great performance. A shame because we like this venue.

Attempted to visit for food. Pub was empty of customers. Greeted by member of staff who was immediately rude, hostile, racist, and discriminatory. Other member of staff only rude, so better I guess? Went elsewhere. Best avoid unless you want your evening ruined.

Had a fab dinner last night at The Running Horses. Celebrating 5th wedding anniversary with friends and 48 years since we met at Box Hill School! Food was so lovely and service was charming. Fish and chips was fab!

Oh dear oh dear. This was one of my favourite venues. Used to have lovely imaginative menu. No more. Fish and chips. Burger. Steak (£23!) restaurant didn’t even smell very nice. No wonder it was empty. Waitress sweet But not much she could do. I know it’s COVID and the menu is reduced Fair enough. But better to serve one delicious home cooked meal than this dreadful menu dictated apparently By “head office” wherever that is Very sad to see the mighty so fallen

I booked on the website for a table including what type of booking to which I selected lunch. Added number of guests and was offered nearest time to requested which I accepted and booking was confirmed including the word "lunch". When we arrived at 3 we were told that the kitchen closes at 3 so our lunch booking had no food. Really poor.

Absolutely fantastic service from staff even when they were run off their feet with orders and customer service. Chef clearly busy but the food was top quality and the attention to detail fantastic, thank you. You have a top quality team of floor staff working here. Thank you for such a fantastic meal even during the eat out to help out scheme where you guys were clearly fully booked. I will absolutely be visiting again. Thank you.

We have visited many times and enjoyed the food and service. This visit was however a disappointment. Having invited two vegans in response to the advert for the last Wednesday in the month being a vegan night,and flagged this in the booking special requests, it was disappointing to be told on arrival it was cancelled. So we all ordered the same food as there was no choice and it was very average compared to past experience. Hope the decline in standard is not permanent.

We stayed on the first night the pub reopened post Covid. Immediately made to feel very welcome & felt safe with distancing, one way system etc. Rooms are all named after racecourses. We stayed in Cheltenham. Lovely room with en-suite. Nespresso machine is a nice touch. after drinks we had a beautiful meal with table bread to share, beautifully warm with butter, garlic butter, oil & balsamic. The special was Cote de Bouef again to share and it was beautifully cooked and a wonderful meal. Attentive service. Great place we’d definitely stay again.

Even though we didn't have roasts, which most of the restaurant seemed to be eating, we were incredibly impressed with everything on a rainy February Sunday at the Running Horses. The service was great - relaxed but attentive - and the food almost faultless. The specials were all enticing and I chose both: scallops with cauliflower puree and pickled raisins and grilled stone bass with potato rosti and grilled courgettes. Both were a perfect portion and brilliantly cooked, though one slight flaw would be the grittiness of some bites of scallop; I wasn't sure that they had been prepared as closely as they could have been. My partner's risotto with goats cheese and squash was delicious and moreish, again perfectly portioned and her treacle tart was great too.We can't wait to go back.

We stayed here for a night for my partner's birthday and we can't recommend it enough. Our room was beautiful and very comfortable. Dinner was excellent, we shared a baked camembert to start, then had risotto and chicken kiev for main, all delicious. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, including making us a packed lunch to take on our walk the following day. And the location for walking in the Surrey Downs could not be better.

Great country pub & Inn, super friendly service, lovely food, fish & chips, fresh lightly battered and good chunky fries plus a delicious cheese burger & skinny fries, all served quickly with a friendly chat & smile..would recommend

Met a friend for lunch here today and was quite excited having looked at the menu on the website. The pub has a lovely roaring fire and is very atmospheric inside. Firstly, the menu on the website was not available. We chose soup from the specials board and decided to try this before ordering a main course. The sweet potato and coconut soup was inedible, tasting only of salt. We sent it back and were not charged for it. We then tried the roasted tomato tart which is in fact some tinned tomatoes and puree sitting in the base of a bowl with two triangles of pastry balanced on top. Not a tart at all more a deconstructed and quickly made course that was not at all tasty. Service was by a polite but inexperienced teenager. We won't be returning. So disappointed.

The plain tomato juice was really good without anything added.The food can be above average, and I have had delicious chicken previously.This time I was served the special of two tiny pieces of plaice, a very little mushroom and red wine sauce which was very good but I had to ask for more, a pile of plain spinach, two precise rectangular chips and a pea shoot. Some starters would be more filling. I had a side of creamed spinach and left the plain spinach.On the upside I did have room for a really good chocolate delice, but the dish was too big and the spoon and fork tried to fall in.My companion had the chicken, it was served with green beans and a lot of plain chick peas which are not easy to eat with a knife and fork, an odd combination, then a creme brûlée with two thick biscuits.

Attended for a works event and were hosted in the beautiful panelled room which was a great setting and is perfect for private dining. Tim was a great welcoming host, couldn't do enough for us and very flexible. There were 15 of us and while a few mixed reviews on the starters, the mains and desserts were great and service was perfect. We were well attended and not rushed. Overall a brilliant evening and would recommend this friendly country pub. Many thanks.

My wife and I love a good pub lunch and we came across a voucher which gave us 25% off of our first meal at The Running Horse. Sadly our experience was not at all good. We arrived to a dirty table with missing cutlery, the room had a sense of dirty about it i.e. needed a good clean. My wife's drink came in a filthy glass of which there was no apology, in fact they made it feel like it was our fault that the glass was dirty. On the bright side, the meal itself was tasty, although I found a small hair on the side of the plate.This could be a great place to eat if the owners / staff gave a damn. We won't be going back,

This used to be a place we would come regularly as a treat but we won't be returning again. Service was extremely slow and poor, we had to wonder around to find people to order and get drinks. We were seated at a dirty table despite booking, glasses were chipped/cracked and the bathrooms were out of action. Very disappointed as it used to be a favourite pub.

Would like to say big thank you to Paulo he made us so welcome and looked after us so well !!

We had a lovely meal here, the service was great (really friendly and attentive staff) and the food was lovely - so tasty and nicely presented. A very well thought out menu. There was a good atmosphere and it was good to see the fire on!

Running Horses gastro pub was lovely, friendly and attentive staff and a good ambience. Restaurant is separate from the bar area where there is a log fire. Very cosy on a cold evening for a nightcap after a nice meal. I would recommend.

Booked for lunch and waited 5 minutes to be seated.

A group of 6 went for Sunday lunch. Table booked for 12.30. The fire at the bar had just been lit which was a shame as it was cold outside. Glad we hadn't booked earlier. The food was tasty but the chicken lollipops could have been heated more - just warm enough to eat but would have liked it hot. The main courses ( 3x salmom, 3 roast dinners) came without any veg - we had to ask. Also had to ask for the horse raddish sauce for the beef. Desserts OK but the bailey's custard had no evidence of any Baileys in it! Having said all this - the food was tasty and we cleaned all the plates. he problem here at the running horses is that it is ALWAYS cold - so you need to wrap up when you eat. I've read previous reviews and this has been mentioned before. The response is 'we had problems' but would fix it. Well they haven't. Such a shame because it gives the feeling that they just dont care. If this contines, it will effect their business for sure - at least during the winter months.

We had a lovely lunch today in this lively pub restaurant. I was very pleased to note several, interesting vegetarian options.

My daughter had her wedding reception here. I cannot praise the staff high enough. We were able to decorate the private eating area to our requirement. Paulo was a superb manager who catered for all our requests. The food was excellent. It was delivered hot, and was cooked perfect. The whole pub is extremely clean and welcoming. The accomodation was very well priced and well worth the money. I highly recommend this gem of a place. Thank you.

An extensive menu, plenty to choose from and all delicious. Service fab, very friendly place and good range of drinks and beers.

We went here to eat a few weeks ago on a Saturday evening and it was lovely and so we decided to book for a family meal we had planned.

We went on a Saturday night with some friends who have recently moved to Dorking, who had heard good reports. It must have been several years ago, because our night was awful. In a half full restaurant (on a Saturday!), we were effectively ignored by the young staff, who seemed to have no clue about customer service. Questions about some of the dished, resulted in a visit by them to the kitchen - they didn't know what they were serving! My 'pink in the middle' steak came out cremated and my Wife's fish smelled decidedly off. The prices are not cheap either.

Attended your lovely pub for lunch with family at the end of August. Top quality BLT sandwich/soup and even better service from a female member of staff who I believe was called Izzy and a male staff member with dark hair throughout our visit. We will be back and look forwards to trying further items on your menu for an evening visit. Thank you for the great atmosphere and top quality food.

Giving this a 2 star rating as the service was satisfactory. I ordered the roast chicken special which was the smallest and most tasteless roast I have ever seen costing £18 plus £1 for a Yorkshire pudding!! It tasted awful served with frozen potatoes, a small piece of chicken, some scraps of shredded vegetables and two carrots.

I'm going to caveat this review by stating loud and clear that I accept that not all restaurants/pubs are set up for hosting children/toddlers and I do not hold this fact against them. This being said, I do feel that in 2019, there are certain things that the restaurant/pub industry should be providing… or at least be seen to be attempting to provide!

Booked this lovely pub restaurant for my sisters birthday.

Took a few colleagues here for a lunch last friday. Great food and a good selection of drinks. The staff were very attentive and not intrusive during our meal. Very well balanced. Ended up staying through till the early evening for the Gin and Jazz night. Think I have found my new local!! Thanks

Went here with some mates for some after work drinks, well priced and lovely place.

I went to the running horses with some friends a few weeks ago, and had a wonderful time!! The location is stunning next to a church in a beautiful village, and the food is absolutely amazing. The staff took time to look after us really well and were lovely to have around (especially the new puppy that belongs to the pub manager). Would highly recommend :)

After a glorious stroll at Box Hills we stopped over for lunch at the Running Horses. After reviewing the menu our intended light bite turned into a 3 course meal, we just couldn't choose 1 thing! The food was impeccably presented and really delicious - of a quality you don't usually find in pubs. The staff were so hospitable and went over and above to make sure we were happy. It was the perfect day away from London and we can't wait to come back.

We visited here on a lovely summer day on Bank Holiday Monday. It was busy, but by no means full. Whilst the waiter remained friendly throughout the lunch, the whole experience was an ordeal. Firstly he apologised for taking so long to attend to us because it was a busy bank holiday Monday. He then let us browse the menus for a long time. Then when taking our order he chose this opportune moment to inform us that several items on the menu weren't available! We then had to spend another 10 minutes whilst we all changed our orders and waited for him to come back to us. The whole process from start to finish took ages. In the absence of some items on the menu they did have a BBQ going in the garden so we could order items from the BBQ. He warned that they might arrive earlier than the other meals but he would try and time them to match the rest of the dishes We were fine with this. However, between all 4 main courses, there was 20 minutes between the first and the last dish and 5 minutes between the 3 dishes that were being cooked by the kitchen, with the last one being the salad! He also got the order wrong and a portion of chips never actually arrived. The food overall was fine but nothing special, with the salad consisting of a large selection of green leaves and not much else, and was the last dish to come out!

My family and I came for "the place for Sunday roast". As we entered, we were greeted with a smiley chap called Paulo who informed us about the specials and dishes of the day(all sounding delicious). The photo's will show how amazing the food really was. Glad to see it getting its legs back.

Great find! Lovely little pub, super nice staff. Only went for a few drinks but definitely going to return to check out the menu!

I stayed overnight at this delightful pub a week ago

I'm in here usually about once every fortnight and it's a characterful little place. Not a massive selection of beers but fairly priced for the area. The food is top quality; haddock fishcakes were incredible. Friendly staff, cheerful atmostphere although VERY Surrey.

As you can judge by the title I really enjoyed the roast (Beef) on my visit on Sunday. The Scallops starter was incredible too. Staff very attentive and friendly. Cant wait to be back

We visited one Friday lunchtime, having booked and were surprised that we were the only diners. A few more were outside but it;s right on the road and people smoke out there. The ambience is like a stage coach, with paraphenalia on the walls and the booths decked out. We actually sat on a small corner round table in pews, with the sun streaming in from the top windows.

Booked the place for an overnight stay. Had a good soup for lunch then headed off to see family. When we got back we were made most welcome and shown to one of the two new rooms. They were all named after race courses. The room was very comfortable and tastily decorated with a large shower ensuite. The extra large bed was extremely comfortable with good quality cotton linen and fluffy towels. There were some nice touches with good quality bathroom products.The food that night was very good and I can highly recommend the place. Our only drawback was there was no car park. Plenty of parking on the road except when there is an event on in the village. We found it hard to park while the school fete/sports day was on.

Can’t fault it! Food was so nice, staff are so accommodating and generous in there service which make such a difference to the lots of modern pubs around these days! Kate was so knowledgeable in all the wines and recommended an amazing Malbec. The food was sensational and we had an incredible seabass m, truffle chips and roast on a Sunday, followed by a cheese board that was suggested by Paulo and probably the best we’ve had with a blue cheese that we had to order more of. Made our trip to Box Hill very memorable and will definitely be back- thank you!

Visited again for a family birthday . Delicious food- perfectly cooked -and plenty of it. Great service again too. A lovely place to celebrate . Check out their menu, plenty to choose from and we are slowly working our way through it! Thanks

So many times I have past the sign for the Running Horses off the A24 north of Dorking but have never visited. Today that changed and what a great pub/restaurant.

This beautiful pub in the heart of Surrey hills is a lovely place to spend an afternoon. The teams incredible service and genuine friendliness gave us a superb experience. The food is out of the world. In particular the chocolate delice. Do not leave without trying it!!! AMAZING.

We use the restuarant periodically, the food and service are good, even though it is a bit expensive. If you want a nice evening out, its well worth a try.

This is a traditional pub/restaurant near Box Hill and the décor is reminiscent of a coaching house. The food is, overall only average which is a shame we are started with a stunning first course of scallops that were enormous and so succulent. Unfortunately, the second course of fish pie with mash, turned out to be a lot of mash but very little fish. It was strange that the waiter excused this feedback with the comment “an agency chef made this”. As if that is relevant to the customer. However, the sun was shining and it was a lovely day, so we didn’t make a fuss, and we paid for the mis-represented dish. On another day, I am not sure I would!

After a lovely hike starting on the top of Box hill, we stopped for lunch. We first missed the pub but then parked 100feet finding ourselfs looking to the right to be impressed by a beautiful little view down countryside hills. The pub is beyond cosy, especially the big room in dark wood for private events gives of the impression to just having stepped into an old English gentlemen club. The food is unbelievable and the service superb, waitresses were attentive and very friendly. A superb find.
