This pub is generally a good bet. The beer on tap is usually good, and when I went recently they were serving Dorking Brewery DB1 for a pound a pint. You can't go wrong there! They usually have something on from the Ringwood Brewery too, so I'm usually quite happy on that front.

I can't comment on the food at large, but I can vouch for the steak and ale pie, which is consistently excellent. The staff seem nice enough, and the atmosphere is usually good, albeit a little 'local' at times.

It's a bit more of a walk from the town than the other pubs in Dorking, but I would say it is well worth the extra leg work!

Lovely Ringwood, atmosphere and huge jacket potatoes. Friendly bloke let me order my 2nd pint in front of him as he had a large round. Impressively tall red-headed Eastern European barmaid was very efficient. Tucked away, but well worth a visit. Large garden looks inviting for the warmer weather. Nice to find a real towel in loos!

Like many Dorking pubs, the Pilgrim is not in my view in any way exceptional. However, also like several other of its local counterparts, it is very good, and always well worth a visit. It is at its best at this time of year, as it offers a marvellously cosy little haven away from the elements, and allows one to prepare for the trek into the centre, for those who might be on a town-wide crawl. 3 good ales on offer, and usually at least 1 unusual guest offering. A friendly buzz seems to pervade the place, both behind and in front of the bar, and the interior is rich in character. It has a pleasant patina of reliable settledness about it.
In fact if you don't fancy schlepping into the town itself, you could do worse than pitch up at the Pilgrim for the entire evening!

A wonderful traditional pub. Well kept beers usually with an interesting guest ale alongside their regular ale. Stowford Press cider.

Absolutely fantastic quality food. Not a huge menu but that's not a bad thing. The lamb shank is scrumptious and a speciality. Last time I was there they'd sold out so I had a fillet steak which was the best I could remember eating. It could not have been improved!

Pool table, friendly staff and a warm welcome. Hard to fault.
