About
The Three Horseshoes ranks highly because it offers a more traditional pub feel than the Richard Onslow. Its official site leans hard into old wooden floors, nooks, beams, an inglenook fire, real ale and a family-friendly garden, while search results also show it being voted CAMRA East and Mid-Surrey Pub of the Year 2024.\n\nThat makes it one of the village's best beer-led inclusions and a useful stylistic counterweight to the more polished inn options.
