The Cricketers, Dorking

Completely agree with other comments. My mum and I went in here one lunchtime, and I was worried it would be blokey and a bit hostile. Not at all! The staff were welcoming and friendly, locals were nice, and the pub has an interesting interior. The food was good too, will definiely return.

The Pilgrim, Dorking

Booked a weekend birthday lunch for 10 people; the roast lamb was huge, and the best my brother had ever tasted, I had sizzling fajitas (delicious), our vegetarians were well-catered for, and the little ones had fish/chicken/chips. Fantastic food, lovely staff, good beer. They didn't even mind when my 93-year-old grandad started singing (well, it was his birthday).

The Kings Arms, Dorking

This pub is full of atmosphere - large black beams, roaring fires - and the food is varied and good. However, I agree with earlier comments about the staff - we had a fearsome barmaid! We had ordered ham, egg and chips, but ham and chips arrived. When I pointed this out, she argued aggressively that we hadn't ordered the egg, then when I said I didn't want the egg now, she said: "So you never wanted egg!" She also offered no sauces and was stroppy when I asked for some. So my favourite pub is now no more, I won't be visiting it again.
