Well-behaved dogs are welcome on the front patio and in the bar, on a lead. The pub says dogs are not allowed in the dining room, and only some bedrooms take dogs, so ring to book one.

Getting there

Old London Road, Mickleham RH5 6DU, at the foot of the National Trust's Box Hill. Book ahead if you want to eat, and ask for a table in the bar if the dog is with you.
