The Crooked Billet, Stoke Row

Excellent food and proper beer - set lunch menu / Sun lunch good value though beware if you're in a hurry since service can be slow as they're always busy. V different from years ago when it was just a pub but pleasant location with a few tables (picnic benches) outside on first come first served basis.

The Abinger Arms, Abinger Hammer

Fails to take advantage of good location, "friendly welcome" evidently on day off. Last decorated - pre-decimalisation era? - in Northern working mens club style, this is the sort of pub that makes you wonder just why you bothered to step inside - and then you remember that most Surrey pubs are rubbish, over-priced or more generally, both - so you may as well stay put. Suggest you eat and drink before you go or better still, don't.
