The Running Horses
The Running Horses in Mickleham is situated at the foot of Box Hill and is frequented by weary walkers and cyclists looking for a bite to eat or something to drink.
Serving as a stop off on trade routes from London to the south since the 16th century this boutique country inn offers guests eight charming en- suite rooms, each individually designed and tastefully furnished.
Patrons can look forward to some of the best pub food to be found in Surrey.
Ox cheek pie, pomme purée, lardons, leeks, peas, jus added to the menu during the British pie week.
If not salt aged duck breast, confit leg pie, rhubarb gel and radicchio. Or the choice of a sumptuous and ridiculously luxurious Chateaubriand .
The menu is as varied as it is interesting, including pub classics such as the ubiquitous Burger.

A traditional pub lunch
The French have their cafés, Americans their fast food diners and the British their pubs.
In his 17th-century diary, Samuel Pepys described the pub as “the heart of England”. A meeting place, somewhere to relax, where people can eat, drink, talk and play games like cards or darts or billiards.
A village local like the Woodmancote Pub where one is confronted unapologetically by an array home baked cakes amongst bottles of wine and pork scratchings.
As well as a menu offering traditional pub food such as a Farmers Country Platter sitting comfortably alongside the ubiquitous burger. An unfortunate feature found on most menus in the day and age.

Southampton local
One of the oldest public houses and in my mind one of the best pubs in Southampton.
The Duke of Wellington is a comfortable traditional old English pub
Where after explaining in great detail what I wanted to drink the bar tender suggested that the next time I simply order a Rock Shandy.
Can’t fault that
Nor can one fault the ham egg and chips. Making it one of the best pub lunches I have had in the UK
