The pub closed in May 2026 for an extensive refurbishment and is due to reopen under new management in the Autumn.

This is an attractive half-tiled country pub set between Thursley Common and the Devil's Punch Bowl. The garden at the rear overlooks fields stretching up to the Hindhead hills. At the front of the pub, part of the car park has been converted into a patio area. There is also a large covered smoking area with its own stove. The cosy front bar, with two fireplaces and wooden beams, can get busy during meal times. There is an extensive dining area at the rear. Daniel, the head chef butchers the locally sourced meat himself and he also bakes his own bread.

The pub was saved from closure in 2004 when a number of villagers grouped together to buy the freehold. The Garden is only open in summer, hence the hard standing patio area at the front. Opening hours tend to change from time to time, closed Monday and Tuesday when we last checked.
