Seven Surrey Pubs for a Sunday Roast

The Victoria's kitchen holds three AA Rosettes and is led by Head Chef Daniel Lee. The roasts on its October 2026 sample Sunday menu are a Lake District Farms dry-aged sirloin of beef with horseradish cream (£30), a Lake District Farms loin of pork with Bramley apple sauce (£29) and a confit duck leg with apple sauce (£29). There is also a whole Cob Farm roast chicken with bread sauce for two to share (£58), and a butternut squash, feta and spinach pie (£28).

Every roast comes with beef fat roast potatoes, buttered seasonal greens, roasted carrots, Yorkshire puddings and gravy. Roasts are served from 12pm to 5.30pm, in the restaurant or in the bar, where you do not need to book.

The Running Horses is a coaching inn on the Old London Road at the foot of Box Hill, on what CAMRA calls the old route from London to the coast. Historic England lists the building as 18th century. The pub dates itself to the 16th century. There is a log fire in the bar.

Its sample Sunday menu from March 2026 listed roast sirloin, roast herbed belly of pork and roast half chicken, with a butternut squash, mushroom and spinach roll for vegetarians and vegans. The roasts come with cauliflower purée, seasonal vegetables, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, and sticky toffee pudding is among the puddings. The kitchen serves from 12pm to 7pm on Sundays. In November 2026 its website no longer showed a Sunday menu, so ask what is on when you book.

The White Horse is a Young's pub in Hascombe on the route of the Greensand Way, which makes it a good place to end a Sunday walk. Head Chef Aaron's kitchen has its own dry ager.

The Sunday menu on its website lists Middle White rolled and stuffed pork belly with apple and fennel seed sauce, Surrey Farm rump of beef with chervil horseradish sauce, venison haunch with berry compote, and lemon and thyme roasted Sutton Hubbard chicken breast with bread sauce. For vegetarians there is a golden beetroot, chestnut and wild mushroom tart. The roasts come with beef dripping roast potatoes, braised savoy cabbage, maple roasted carrot, crushed roots, a double-egg Yorkshire pudding and gravy.

To share there is a whole Surrey pheasant (£45) or a whole roast 30oz beef rump picanha (£86). Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the pub and the garden.

The Grantley Arms is a Young's pub on The Street in Wonersh, a few minutes from Guildford. Historic England lists it as a 15th-century timber-framed building, extended in the 20th century. The pub sign gives 1590, and the Wonersh History Society records it as The Hector Inn in 1687 and The George in 1719. Part of the building was once the village's Old Bakery, and the private dining room there is now called the Bakery Room. The landlady is Charlie, and there is a fire in winter.

The Sunday roasts on its website are rump of beef with horseradish, Sutton Hubbard roast chicken with pork, apple and thyme stuffing, and Dingley Dell pork belly porchetta with crackling and apple sauce. There is also a heritage squash and chestnut Wellington. They come with roast potatoes, crushed celeriac, braised carrots, savoy cabbage, a double-egg Yorkshire pudding and gravy. Chinthurst Hill, between Wonersh and Bramley, is close by if you want a walk afterwards.

The Crown Inn faces the green at Chiddingfold. It is a 14th-century Wealden building with a crown-post roof, listed at Grade II* by Historic England, with oak beams, stained-glass windows and a large inglenook fireplace.

The pub says its Sunday menu changes weekly but always includes a selection of roasts. Its winter 2026 sample lists roast sirloin of beef with Yorkshire pudding, roast loin of pork with apple sauce and crackling, roast leg of lamb with mint sauce, and roast chicken with sage and onion stuffing and pigs in blankets. Vegetarians get a chestnut and pumpkin seed nut roast. All come with garlic and rosemary roast potatoes, jus and seasonal vegetables, and the pub says all its meat is sourced locally. Puddings on the sample include apple and sultana crumble, sticky toffee pudding and a warm cherry frangipane tart.

A 16th-century pub tucked away at Little London on Albury Heath, with beams, flagstones and a big fireplace where a wood fire is lit in winter. Its Sunday menu offers roast chicken with stuffing and cranberry (£23), porchetta with braised pig cheek and apple (£25) and roast beef with braised shin and horseradish (£28), all with roast potatoes, Yorkshire puddings, seasonal vegetables and gravy.

Not everyone wants meat: there is a skate wing with black garlic and caper butter (£23) and a mushroom and celeriac Wellington (£22). A discretionary 12.5% service charge is added to the bill, and the pub is closed on Mondays.

A converted mill on the River Wey, run by Fuller's, which says that on Sundays tradition rules, with five roasts to choose from. The Sunday menu has sirloin of beef (£22.95), roast pork belly (£22.50) and roast chicken supreme with sage and onion stuffing (£22.50), with roast potatoes, maple-glazed parsnips and carrots, greens, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, plus cauliflower cheese with the beef and pork.

For a table that wants to push the boat out there is a tomahawk steak to share (£85) with bone marrow and red wine gravy, and vegetarians get a squash pithivier (£19.50). The pub suggests booking ahead on Sundays.
