The Best Restaurants in Hambledon, Surrey, United Kingdom (2025)

Lovely birthday surprise meal. The food and wine were just amazing. Great menu... Difficulty make a decision because it all sounded lovely. Mixed up with sushi as starters and a delicious hake main. Service is really good and all staff are very friendly.

My partner and me experienced Moma for the first time and definitely will not be the last. Everything from the food to the service and the restaurant itself was superb. The food was full of flavour. We will be returning soon . Lovely evening.

Fantastic food in a lovely setting. 4 of us booked lunch and the starter was amazing. However the waiter was too surly and unhelpful with our friend.

Beautiful restaurant, lovely staff and delicious food. The atmosphere is great and the food is very high quality, very fresh and cooked perfectly. A perfect addition to the Haslemere community, thank you..

Went for New Years Eve and it was great. The food is amazing and so well priced. They called early in the day as we were arriving later in the evening so we could preorder. £75 for mains, starters, sides and a couple of drinks each. Also did their Sunday roast recently and again food was fantastic. Highly recommend.

We have been for a Sunday roast here for the past 3 weeks and brought friends and family along with us, all agree it's the best pub roast they have had in a long time. The selection of veg is great, delicious meat and plenty of gravy. Our dog Molly loves it there too and enjoys her little doggy bag at the end. Friendly, attentive staff and very reasonably priced. The place has a great, friendly, local pub vibe! Shhh don't tell anyone!

A fantastic new addition to the area, great staff, fabulous food and good beer. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed not only by the staff, but the pub itself is inviting, light and well set out, it felt large and cosy at the same time. The menu wasn’t massive which is sometimes a positive, and this was definitely one of those occasions, because the items they did have on the menu were done really well. (I must caveat the photos are taken after a few pieces of squid and wings were taken, so the portion sizes look smaller than they were) We had the Korean bbq wings and the Squid to the start. The wings had a good kick to them and the squid came with a lovely chilli jam. For mains 3 of us had Meat burgers and 1 of us had the Veggie burger, none of us were dissatisfied or disappointed. The meat was good well, and the burger was juicy with a nice portion of crispy chips. All in all it was a great pub meal and not to pricey either. The beer selection was good something for everyone, I had my go to Neck oil. We were all really impressed and will definitely be back again soon. This is the first time we’ve been here over the years we’ve lived in the area. I think since we have lived here it’s changed hands 3 times, the last owners made it a bikers pub, we always wanted to go in, but the sign saying bikers only did put us off a little. They soon took that sign down and opened it to the public.

We have tried almost ever pub/restaurant in the area now. The Charterhouse is 100% the best choice for steak! Every time it has been perfect. 👌 The landlord is a legend, the chef is very good and always a friendly welcome/atmosphere (the pub dog is also very funny!). Thank you for all the great meals!

We were recommended this pub as a great lunch stop halfway through our South Downs Way walk. We're so glad we visited. This dog friendly pub provides a warm welcome and roaring fires ( we called 30 minutes ahead to secure a table) The menu offered a good selection of pub favourites. We started with some delicious marinated olives. Mains were Fish and Chips with minted, crushed peas and Gnocchi with blue cheese, bacon and pine nuts. Both of which were delicious. We had buffalo milk ice cream for afters- do try the salted caramel flavour. Our server was really welcoming and attentive. The pub itself is a shrine to cricket history and well worth a visit. Highly recommended.

I had prawns (one of the specials) which were perfectly cooked and seasoned. Honestly couldn't fault it. Also really nice staff and dog friendly. Our dog can be a bit nervous of other dogs (and there were dogs at almost every table when we went) but the staff made us feel very welcomed and let us choose a good place to sit to suit her, and actually it all was totally fine, which I'm sure probably does have something to do with the nice atmosphere here. I wish we hadn't been so full from our mains because the desserts sounded very tasty. Maybe another time. Definitely recommend this place if you're in the area!

Came here for a family meal on a Saturday evening,it was not very busy & service was a little slow to offer any drinks at our table which was inside. Overall a nice pub,staff polite & good food. It's a historical pub,where the rules of cricket were formulated. Good choice of food & drinks.

Excellent Meal this Christmas with the family. The atmosphere as always was cozy and welcoming and generally great vibes. The food was incredible. The decision to have appetisers before the meal was sound as they were really rather special. The bubble and squeak croquettes were just a job. The service was friendly and attentive and would highly recommend this for a family get together celebration

Came for Sunday dinner and it was one of the best! Very cosy but sophisticated interior with lovely, personable staff and delicious food. Everything tasted amazing and portions were generous. Delicious wine served perfectly - will definitely return especially on a sunnier day.

Really great quality food and an overall great place to eat, drink and relax. Not cheap but well worth the money. Book early as its a busy place. The Sunday roasts and Scotch eggs are 10/10. Lots of nice walks nearby too.

We did not stay at the Merry Harriers but dined there. It was my wife's birthday and we decided to go there as we had had previous good experiences at the Hilltop Kitchen. We were not disappointed. The quality of the food was excellent as they only use fresh, preferably local, produce. The service was brilliant as the staff were professional and friendly. There is a cosy atmosphere with a log fire in the bar area. Special mention to Adam, Jana and Ben who made our visit special.

Small amount of indoor seating with a large amount of outdoor seating. Lovely spot for a coffee and light lunch. Also a post office and village shop

A great village shop with a post office inside, and great bakery with hot food and cakes. Friendly staff and phone orders for hot food bacon roll is very nice. £5.10 take away price

Lovely little village shop with cafe and lots of sweet treats

Lovely little shop in the village. Very friendly staff with very tasty food.

Visiting relatives who live in the local area and decided to have lunch at the Dog and Pheasant. We were not disappointed, the food was excellent, I had the Roast Chicken Supreme (with a beer to wash it down😁). The service (provided by Andy) was attentive but not overbearing, top marks! The pub is warm/cozy, dog friendly and clean. Set in the good location and plenty of onsite free parking. Would thoroughly recommend and will return to try out more of the menu. 10/10

Went for a last minute Sunday lunch for two, great staff, all very helpful and attentive, very good pint of Timothy Taylors Landlord. They managed to find us a table, the pub was pretty busy, a good mix of drinkers and eaters with a good pub noise to warm the atmosphere. Fish and chips were good, lovely light batter and great chips. I just felt the whole place could do with a tidy up and maybe a lick of fresh paint, a small point for an otherwise decent pub. Would definitely go back.

Dropped in to this lovely pub for lunch after a hike in the area today, and very glad we did! The staff and landlord were all extremely friendly and helpful. My wife and I had the Venison, bacon and mushroom pie from the 'specials' board and the Chicken Supreme with gnocchi in a tarragon and mushroom sauce. Both were delicious! My only disappointment was the fact that there was only one portion of the fantastic sticky toffee pudding left...which we obviously had! We loved that...but also enjoyed the fudge brownie. Thanks chef and the team. Although we live about 30 miles away, we're likely to be back! I imagine the barmaid will have perfected that shamrock on the Guinness by then too! ;-)

Been here twice now and will definitely return. Food is a little pricey but it is worth it. Great menu with lots of tasty vegan options for starters, mains and dessert. Had the garlic flatbread with black olive tepenade, banana blossom "fish" and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce and to finish, sticky toffee pudding with oat flat white. All really lovely and service was brilliant. Look forward to returning.

I read somewhere that this place boasts the best Roast in the county, and they're not wrong. Big, hearty portions with a great range of offerings in additions to the classics. Desserts were the surprise package, get the Yorkie & Butter pudding, unbelievable Jeff. Staff looked after us really well and the setting is delightful. Top marks all round!

Booked this lovely pub for our 21st Wedding Anniversary as I have passed it many a time on bike rides with my club and always thought of giving it a try. The pub is in a lovely setting in the Surrey Hills and has a lovely country/gastro pub vibe to it with good parking and spacious garden area with rattan furniture. Inside is very modern and clean, staff are super friendly and attentive, with food coming out in a very timely manner. The menu has lots to choose from with plenty of vegan options so shouldn't be issues with food selection. Drinks are of a good selection with a cocktail menu and are freshly made without pre-made syrups. All in all a great place to celebrate our anniversary and if you're not celebrating anything, a lovely place to eat and drink in the Surrey Hills.

What a find, wonderful service, grateful food, and warm cosy atmosphere. A Soth African chef who understands how to grill meat!! Highly recommended! We will be back!!

Lovely building. Friendly staff. Tried some of the "nibbles" on the menu which were superb ! The mains were Crispy Beef on Salad with Cashews ( Excellent ) and A Quiche Lorraine which , my partner, felt was far too oniony for her tastes. Having said that, we enjoyed our experience and we will come back again soon.

Brilliant meal, had eaten here before Christmas and were given an envelope for either 25%, 50% or 100% off the bill upon returning in Jan or Feb, brilliant idea and we got 25% off, great food in very good portion sizes. Will be back soon.

Very cosy and welcoming setting, we booked for a large group and staff was very nice (the wait was a bit long but we weren’t in any hurry) I recommend the steak pies with homemade crust 🥧

Really glad we made our walkers lunch stop at this traditional pub in the pretty village of Thursley. Friendly, professional & welcoming staff. Real ale was well kept. Homemade sandwiches were tasty. Competitive prices. Live music on a Saturday afternoon was a real bonus! Would definitely visit here again.

Always a nice welcome and friendly staff and this lovely community-run local pub. In the summer we have enjoyed eating in the garden with its far reaching views. We have eaten here a few times and until now always had good food. But on this occasion the food was poor. The pie was swimming in gravy that lacked any flavour, it would also have been nicer to serve the gravy separately. Sadly the food was cold and had to be returned to the kitchen, the pub was not busy and it really seemed a shame that they missed the mark on this occassion. We also noted that the menu was not as interesting as it had been earlier in the year. I am hoping this was a 'blip' and that normal service will resume. We will give it another go sometime soon.

A lovely country pub. Good, hearty food full of flavour and soul. Now stop looking at the menu and just order the Beef Bourguignon. It’s absolutely spectacular.

Loved it at The White Horse again. Been coming here for 4 years but it went through a period in about 2023 where the food was not that great. But I’m happy to report that the food was excellent, and the service was superb too: attentive and proactive. Thank you Antonia for a lovely evening!

Christmas lunch at the White Horse Hascombe was great! Food was lovely and the service was great. We made the mistake of not preordering wine when we confirmed our menu choices and then discovered that there was quite a limited choice on the day. But we found something and it didn’t detract from our enjoyment. Well done to all at the White Horse.

We had our Christmas 2024 lunch here at The White Horse and the whole event was superb! The atmosphere inside the pub was very Christmassy and everyone was very chilled. The food was excellent, really, really first class and the service was wonderful. What more can I say? We all had a fantastic time and this was our second Christmas-time running so that must say a lot about how good the place is.
