Large pub, which was the former site of George Sayer's Ashtead Brewery in the 19th century. The cellar still includes the brewing well which extends 100 metres under the road, although the brewery closed in 1910. Whilst food trade is obviously key, drinkers are still made very welcome. Sizeable garden at rear where dogs are welcome has a Wendy House in it. Guest beers usually include at least one from a local brewery. Regular Monday quiz night. Monthly entertainment on Saturday night. All cask ales are discounted on Mondays.
