Cobbett's

Cobbett's opened as a real ale off licence on 1 September 2010 and on 19 July 2014 expanded with a micropub (the first in Surrey) operating in a tiny back room. Good quality beers at very fair prices are available on draught for take-aways) with at least three beers available at the beginning of the week, increasing to six or seven on sale Friday and Saturday. Some are sold by handpump, others direct from the cellar so check the blackboard to see what is available. Six further beers are sold by keykeg and these will usually include a dark beer. At least two draught ciders (and sometimes a perry) are also available. A large number of top quality British bottled and canned beers and ciders are also sold, along with an ever increasing number of foreign ales from breweries such as De Mollen. LocAle beers usually available (bottle conditioned and draught) with Surrey Hills a favourite. Polypins can also be ordered. The hidden away micropub, Goldings Bar, is to be found at the back of the building and comprises a small room with seating on stools by a long shelf on one side and seats next to tiny solid wood tables on the other. In total around a dozen people can fit in here and is a marvellous place to try the beers and cider on offer. There is some additional room in the tiny garden. A supplement is made on each beer for consuming them on the premises. A small selection of quality wine is sold plus there is a local gin from Gin Kitchen of Dorking (and some soft drinks). Check the website for details of what is available - there is always a "hop-monster" on tap! Cobbett's is a "must" to visit when in Dorking. Please note that the hours quoted are shop hours and so there is no additional drinking up time beyond this. No food is served other than crisps.
