The Waggon & Horses

You'll find yourself in a proper neighbourhood pub that doesn't try to be anything it's not. The Waggon & Horses sits on Surbiton Hill Road like it's always been there—and honestly, it probably has—attracting a genuine mix of locals popping in after work and families on weekend lunchtimes. The beer selection is taken seriously here, with rotating guest ales alongside the regulars, and the food is straightforward stuff done well: pies, burgers, and the kind of classics that taste better when someone actually cares about cooking them. It's the sort of place where you can nurse a pint for hours and no one minds, or grab a quick bite without feeling rushed.
