    The Running Horses is a perfect country inn at the heart of picturesque Mickleham village in the Surrey hills. Step inside and you’ll discover one of the most charming places to eat and stay in Surrey. Dating back to the 16th century, it was once a coaching house. Back in those days, the inn’s clientele provided rich pickings for highwaymen. Thankfully, things are a little more peaceful these days, but some traditions live on. You’ll still find wonderful home-cooked British food, made with the freshest ingredients, accompanied by a wine list to compare with the top restaurants. The Running Horses has been family owned and run for the last fifteen years. And because we’re not part of a chain, the inn is full of character and individual touches. You’re guaranteed a warm welcome from the moment you enter the cosy bar with its roaring log fire.

    Left a fishy taste
    This is a traditional pub near Box Hill and the décor is reminiscent of a coaching house. The food is, overall only average which is a shame as we started with a stunning first course of scallops that were enormous and so succulent. Unfortunately, the second course of fish pie…

    Such a pleasant surprise
    I came here because I was in town for a golf tournament at Beaverbrook country club for the weekend, and didn’t fancy paying the price to stay at Beaverbrook hotel itself. Absolutely blown away by this little pub/hotel. Beautiful location. So peaceful. So nice. Rooms are…

    Favourite but off the boil.
    This is a lovely, comfortable, small coaching inn. Friendly staff and intimate atmosphere, with excellent food. We love the place but management seems to be off the boil - lots of little things: two light bulbs missing - one bedside and one over bathroom mirror, one fixed…
