About

The Richard Onslow should lead the pubs-and-bars batch because it is Cranleigh's clearest all-round pub answer. Officially it presents itself as a classic English village inn with an old bar, snug, courtyard and a broad drinks offer including ales, wines, gins and cocktails.\n\nIt also carries strong general recognition in local searches and review sites, which makes it the safest lead inclusion for visitors starting in the village centre.
