On the main road into Godalming on the corner of Hare Lane, this pub has been in operation for some 300 years and is renowned for its live music. In 2014 the pub underwent a considerable refurbishment, happily without detriment to its character. It remains one large bar with distinct areas: the bar itself and a lounge-type area which leads to the part where musicians usually perform. Doors at the back lead to a patio area with a large awning to protect smokers, thence to a good-sized garden with canopied seating. A glass panel exposes the workings of the hand pumps. Well-behaved dogs are welcome inside, as are families. A long-standing feature of the Three Lions is live music, with a band or soloist/duet performing every Saturday and alternate Sundays. There are also regular open mic sessions. A quiz is held every other Wednesday.
