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

Beautiful country pub in the heart of peaslake. Lots of outdoor seating where you can watch the cyclists and walkers go by. Some amazing local beers and extensive wine list. The food is a mix of English and authentic Italian. There are also 15 boutique rooms if you want to stay overnight. The pub is open 7 days a week, 10 am till 11 pm, serving food all day, Friday, Sunday, and lunch and dinner from Mon to Thurs. They also offer a takeaway service, food, and drinks between 5pm and 9pm.

I really like the location of this pub, it’s so close to one of my favourite biking spots and this makes what I’m about to say really painful. I love their beer selection, always have a tasty tipple for me to get stuck into after a good biking session. I had the Firebird Citra for the first time this day and I enjoyed it a lot. The staff are friendly and willing to help, which is all positive and encouraging. The food hasn’t been amazing the last couple of years though, I thought this time it would be different, but I was sadly a little dissatisfied and disappointed. I got a sausage and onion baguette and to be fair that is exactly what I got. But… For £10 I would expect what I got to come with Chips and sadly it didn’t, we had to order chips for an extra £7 admittedly we went for the cheesy chips, but I’m fairly certain the standard ones were a fiver. Then the second nail in the coffin was the Half pint of Diet Coke I got, this was £3!! For a half pint of soda stream Diet Coke… that’s a lot by anyone’s standards especially round here. It feels they are slightly taking advantage of the fact that lots of bikers come here and expect they have lots of money, but this is a country pub yet they are charging London prices for some things. I hope my next experience is more positive, but I can’t help but be honest. My mates Steak Baguette did look better, and was only 50p more, but chips included even just a small portion would go a long way.

We stayed at the Hurtwood Inn for a night as a break for my wife’s birthday. The room was spotless, very comfortable and spacious. We stayed in number 1 which has a really nice spa bubble bath in the en-suite. Great after a day in the hills! We had a lovely evening meal. In the pub with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Breakfast in the morning was also really good. Nothing but good things to say really, I definitely recommend staying at the Hurtwood Inn.
