The Charterhouse

You'll find The Charterhouse tucked away on Deanery Road, a proper old-school pub that actually feels like somewhere locals want to spend time rather than somewhere trying too hard. The Georgian coaching inn vibe is genuine—flagstone floors, real fireplaces, the kind of place where you can imagine 18th-century travellers warming themselves by the bar. The food is honest pub fare done right, not overthinking things, and the ale selection reflects someone who actually cares. It's the sort of spot you'd pop into after a walk along the River Wey or when you're heading towards the town centre.
