Fuller's London Pride Surrey Hills Shere Drop Guest Beers (2)
A rural gem nestled away in attractive countryside down a narrow lane, yet surprisingly not far from the M25 and the towns of Reigate and Coulsdon. The building dates from at least the 16th century and is Grade II listed. Look out for the ghost of Harry the monk. In the garden is St Margaret's Well or Mag's Well which is reputedly mentioned in the Domesday Book, and gives the area its name. There are two bars and a restaurant, each with its own log fire, and a conservatory at the rear. There may be an outside bar in the garden which also has a large covered area. Food is served 12-8:45 Monday to Saturday, with brunch occasionally replacing the normal menu from 12-1 on Saturdays, and 12-6 Sunday. There is a children's menu and roasts on Sundays. There is live music on the last Sunday of the month. Tuesday is quiz night. Dogs are welcome in the two bars and most of the garden area and the pub is on the Millennium Trail. Free WiFi is available and there is a dart board and some games are available in the snug bar to the left. The Old Speckled Hen is occasionally replaced by Fuller's London Pride.
