The pub itself is charming, with rustic decor and a quaint and cozy ambiance. The food was hearty and filling, though some of the meats and steaks were dry and could have used more flavor. Overall a fun place to visit, though some menu items better than others.

Set in the heart of the prettiest village in Surrey and nestled away between the Surrey Hills, The…read moreWilliam Bray is a fantastic find. They have a selection of local ales and the extensive menu features pub classics as well as snoot-ier dishes. The pub is doggy friendly, so feel free to bring your four legged friends too! On a good day, TWB is delightful in the large beer garden and cushioned picnic tables. If you don't fancy a large meal, TWB's forte is the snack menu consisting of light bites like White bait goujons and chorizo chipolatas with sundried tomatoes. The chips are to die for too! I was very impressed and whilst this isn't the cheapest of places to dine at, you certainly get your money's worth through the quaint surroundings and gorgeous views of the Surrey hills.

The baked camembert was served with a generous amount of toast which in turn was generously buttered with garlic.

But, if you are lucky enough to find this charming country pub, you are in store for the perfect English pub experience. This centuries old homestead still oozes that ancient feel. The dishes are not only classic English but also have exciting takes on Korean and Indian fare. I say stick with the local drafts on tap and the classic English dishes. My favorites were the pea and ham soup (If you add a dash of Worcestershire sauce to put it over the top) and the local sausage and mash is on another level. The gravy is to die for!

Set in a beautiful village, this lovely old 16th Century pub has quite a substantial following and…read morewas Lord Oliviers' sort of local. As an Art club, we used it when out painting in the area. With friends and family, it offers the that lovely warm, cosy feeling on Winter days/nights. The Christmas Day menu/price works out at £60.00, could be seen as pricey but I've seen some at £85.00. Lunch and Dinner prices are around £11 £16 for Mains. Plenty of parking. If you coming from the West via A24, there is a lovely drive from The Old Barn nursery which brings you out nearly opposite The Fountain. Bit of winding lane though, so Vorsicht!!
