One of Dorking's finest old buildings. I recommend anyone visiting for this reason alone. Not exactly amazing food for everyone, but as for traditional Dorking this is really good.

My Grandmother used to take me (and family) here many moons ago - and the place was old then! It's even older now though it still has not learnt that customer is king and this place is here for them and not the other way around. I have tried quite hard to organise events here in an effort to spend serious amounts of cash, all to no avail. The place looks old fashioned (part of it's charm I guess) but the service is also old fashioned. I'd go there to remind me of what going out in the UK used to be like – hard work, expensive and were reminded of the nuisance you were causing, roll on faulty towers. Shame it could be something to be proud of but I think I'd rather stay home.

has a poor reputation, but no where near as bad as people seem to think it is
a pub with real character.

Excellent pub. Old fashioned. No poseurs allowed.
Pub grub=sandwiches and pork scratchings.

Ah, the Snakepit. Not for a romantic evening with the missus, but it does have a certain charm and really cheap sandwiches.

Really rather good. traditional, good beer, free internet access, so continuous porn in the bar.

It's just an old fashioned boozer and not a bad one at that. As for it being a gay bar - complete rubbish!

Best old time pub in town. If all you want is a good pint of beer in the company of other drinking men this is the place to come. No food served (unless you count pork scratchings) which means this is 100% traditional English boozer.
