Lincoln Arms
Station Approach, Dorking RH4 1TF
The Lincoln Arms retains many of the features of a classic Victorian station hotel. The location on the edge of town (handy for both Dorking and Dorking Deepdene stations) means that the atmosphere is usually quite relaxed. There are two large bars. The front bar is split into a lounge area on the right and an area on the left which has a pool table. The back, wooden-floored, bar is usually quieter, it is also where darts can be played. Terrestrial sport may be shown. A meeting room is available for free and the rear bar can be hired for functions. Accommodation consists of 20 rooms. Food is served from 6-9 Monday to Thursday, 5-9 Friday, 12-8 Saturday and 12-5 Sunday. Families are welcome in the lounge bar until 9pm. Formerly the Star & Garter and more recently the unfortunately named Happy Days Hotel featuring Deano's Diner. There are usually one or two beer which often with local breweries such as Tillingbourne and Surrey Hills often featuring. Dogs are welcome, there is free WiFi and poker is played on Wednesdays.

In the summer people may be seen at the tables outside on the pavement.
Old House
24 West Street, Dorking RH4 1BY
This 15th century pub has been very well renovated and it is now a successful mix of old and modern. The front is very attractive being covered in hanging baskets. Inside wooden floors, good solid tables (found throughout) and subdued lighting help to create a warm atmosphere. There is a single bar but, with four separate areas coming off it, there are quiet parts to be found. Both the front and rear areas have wood panelling and a separate room, 'Narnia', which can be booked for functions, can be reached via the back left corner of the bar. Between these the walls are painted in subtle tones. It is only over 21s after 9pm. Outside there is a very good patio garden with some 'beach huts' with heaters at the top. Originally a Courage pub, it was bought by Young's in 1989, changing its name from the Old House at Home in March 2013 and became a Punch pub in 2021. Home cooked, locally sourced food is available 12-3 and 6-9 Wednesday to Friday, 12-4 and 6-9 Saturday and 12-4 Sunday. The guest beers are often from Dorking, Laines or SlyBeast. There is live music on Fridays, dogs are welcome and there is free Wi-Fi.
Prince Of Wales
55 Hampstead Road, Dorking RH4 3AH
This small Victorian back street pub has a very attractive frontage. Standing proud at roof level is a large and colourful set of Prince of Wales's feathers. Inside is a single bar with the rear part of the pub being a small extension with darts and a television showing sport. There is a pair of boxing gloves signed by Henry Cooper at one end of the bar. This is very much a locals' pub. Outside drinking consists of a table at the front, which is used by smokers, with heaters and an awning available when the weather is bad. There is also a recently refurbished patio beer garden at the back, down some steps, with four tables plus a covered area with another couple of tables and some bench seating.
