Lovely, family run pub. Smashing food tho a wee bit expensive. Nice to get away from the dumps in the high street to relax and feel safe there

This is actually quite a nice pub, i dont know why i dont drink in this oub more often, its always had a friendly atmosphere when i've been there, the beer tastes good, i only wish it wasnt quite so much but i cant think of a bad thing to say about this place having said that i dont drink here that often, but only because i just dont, not because i dont want to, oh and they seem to manage fine at the weekend without having heavy handed door staff unlike the dukes.
Try it, you might like it, its a nice pub.

Nice place. Traditional English pub. Decent pint of Youngs. Friendly staff.

In here for a CAMRA branch meeting tonight. GK IPA, Pride, Landlord, Broadside, Batemans XXXB and Ordinary. Landlord and Adnams were nice, Batemans a little sharp. Disappointing that for six handpumps there was nothing special on offer. Good enough pub, we were at the back of the lounge bar. Public bar the other side with a pool table and fruit machines etc.

The Running Horse is a great pub on Bridge Street in the heart of Leatherhead. Great food, probably some of the best pub grub ive ever had.
New owners took over the place a few months back, and service is great and has a lovely beer garden.
A deffo place to go when in Leatherhead.

The best pub in Leatherhead has now got better! Has been taken over by a family (Mum and Dad own it, Older son is the Chef, Younger son is the Manager). Two pool teams. One darts team (I play for it). Bar is small but very good atmosphere. Fruit machine, quiz machine and well stocked juke box. The lounge is well frequented by the locals, live music every month, morris men still welcome. Food is excellent and can be eaten at the bar, at your table, in the seperate dining area or in the seperate resturant. Beers, Ales and lagers are excellently kept. 3 of my own family work there also. (1 as cleaner, 1 as bar staff and 1 as assistant chef). Well worth a visit.

Best pub in Leatherhead. 2 seperare bars - public and saloon. Great food and lots of it! These portions are not for the fait hearted! Steak Night on Thursdays are particularly good.
CAMRA hold their meetings here so that says alot about the ale. Usually have 5 - 6 ales on at any one time.
Friendly staff, of which I was one for a few months, so I have to say that!
Check out this pub. You won;t find a better one in Leatherhead.

A bit of a waiting room for those about to depart – off this mortal toil……. Apart from that the staff are good the beer is fine (not tried the food) the interior is a bit odd for seating (saloon) though the toilets (gents) have seen better days and are really in need of an up-date. The 'public' bar is a real locals local and I tend to not go there though perfectly fine.
|
Still the best pub for real ale in this part of surrey. The ambience is great and the service excellent. Will be even better when the no smoking rule comes in.

A very old pub at the bottom of Bridge Street close to the bridge that goes over the River Mole. It has a small lounge bar with church pew type seating with an adjacent dining area. There is a larger bar at the rear and a small patio. There is limited car parking at the side of the pub but there is a public car park next door. A fine range of real ales which are well kept and served by friendly and informative staff. An ideal pub to "chill out". The pub was saved from firkinisation in the 90's by a concerted campaign by locals and regulars. A delightful pub that should be on every discerning real ale drinkers list. Highly recommended.

A nice, old-fashioned boozer, may it never change. Full of the older kind sat around the smallish bar. Good service, especially when we asked where the other boozers in Leatherhead were "well youve got the Pen.." "yep been there", "the Edmu..." "yep been there too", "well that leaves us and the Duke..." "you're joking aren't you? four pubs?, people in the Head must be going off there heads".
|
I worked in this pub for just over a year and i know that everybody that works there loves the pub and all the customers. I hope that the service is still as good as when i left.

A generally good, honest local pub. New management (but same licensee I believe) has heralded a pleasant change.
Pub grub is good and the choice of real ales is wide and very well kept (although could benefit from a regular change and guest ales?)

Generally well kept beer, and a good choice. Service very poor, and unpredictable; who's in charge?
Strangely lit with bare light bulbs that are too bright in the front bar, and way too smokey in this day and age; for heavens sake get some fans that work PROPERLY.

I'm a regular Fri lunchtime punter here now. Beers are good and food is fine but the Taylors Landlord isn't on as often as it might me. Seems slightly understaffed. But it is a proper local.
|
This my Local for work. A bit of a pub of to halves. Games rooms youths and public bar gents.
I really like it. Always a good number of well kept ales on, [Landlord, Youngs Bitter, Pride, Bombardier, Greene King IPA] but never anything out of the ordinary.
Tend to stick to the bar which retains much of its character and has a definite charm.
Food OK [I can recommend the mix grill]. Staff very pleasant.
By far the best pub in Leatherhead
|
I'm glad it's still alive.
|
Very little sitting area in this pub. Does generally seem to attract a fairly mature crowd. Not one of the better pubs in the area
|
I visited the pub on Saturday and was very surprised to see morris men dancing in the car park in celebration of St Georges Day!
A thoroughly enjoyable evening and great real ales. Recommended.

I revisited this pub a day later - the beer garden is now nicely mowed, the Guiness fine (they even did the clover on the head) - and a cute barmaid! Nice food too.

new licensees, jury out.
|
Generally I only use the side of the pub with the Pool Table (there are two bars in the pub) but the locals are all friendly and stupidly good pool players.
Nice and quiet during the week but don't expect to play pool on a Monday (it's league night)
|
Nice pub but quite expensive. Recomended though.

Very friendly locals , great atmosphere great ales great food i use to work there and miss the place dearly especially Steve and Emma real english pub .
|
Nice enough place but needs to sort out smoke extraction or at least exterminate the smokers.
Beer good esp Timothy Taylor's Landlord.

A good atmosphere with good ales. Hard to go there because the wife (and I) can't stand the excessive stench of smoke which seems to cling here, but otherwise OK.

Really nice pub, i use to work there, food is great, steve and emma who run it are fab too! A must if you are passing through, great locals also.
|
One guy worked his butt off and took the council, the brewery and english heritage to a public enquiry and won - The firkin concept is now dead but the 'runner' is still very much alive! If anyone can tell me who the guy was I would be grateful.
|
Great food and really nice people. Recommend the Brie and Bacon toasted sandwich.

Nice grub and pleasant atmosphere - no young totty so if thats yer bag you'll be disappointed. One of Leatherheads better establishments for a quiet beer.

Great inn - historic (Eleanor Rumming) very friendly, good range of Ales kept excellently - vfm food - Morris Dancers welcomed & all locals join in! An absolute MUST!
|
A bit old man's pub in the lounge bar but good beer and food to be had!

They tried to turn this into a Firkin a few years back and the residents kicked up a stink and got it blocked. Bastards.

Probably the safest place for a pint of real ale in Leatherhead. Often for the older members of society though.
Matthew - 20 Apr 2003 11:23 |
Good range of well kept beers combined with an impressive range of sandwiches and home cooked hot dishes. Very friendly staff.
