The White Horse, A Heartwood Inn - (Near Surrey, South East)

Core Active This was our first time visiting the Queens Head, me and my mum are moving to the area soon so we thought wed check out the local pubs. We were so glad to come across this one, not only was it accommodating for our dog, the tipi where we were situated was perfect! Cozy, warm, festive and friendly. A special mention has to go to our waiter Zeke, who was brilliant! Super attentive, ever so helpful, and friendly, when you come across someone like this it makes all the difference! And definitely makes us want to visit again which we will be doing once we move. Thanks Zeke for being so great at your job, we hope theres a Xmas bonus coming your way! And what a great pub, I forgot to mention the food was amazing! I will be recommending this place to everyone.

Franco I recently visited Libby’s of Dorking, and it proved to be an exceptional experience from start to finish. The food was not only perfectly prepared but also beautifully presented, reflecting care, authenticity, and attention to detail in every dish. The service was equally impressive. The staff delivered hospitality at its best—warm, attentive, and genuinely committed to ensuring an enjoyable dining experience. Their professionalism elevated the entire meal, creating an atmosphere that felt welcoming and refined. Libby’s of Dorking is a restaurant I would highly recommend to anyone looking for quality Pakistani cuisine paired with outstanding service. I will definitely be returning and look forward to experiencing more of what they have to offer.

Tee Jay Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Shop was presented very well and was clean. You could tell by the taste, the pizza was made using fresh ingredients and tasted amazing! Also was recommended this drink which was a must! Definitely recommend this place!

Steven Stagles A brilliant station pub so an excellent location. 3 large screens showing various sports and the staff are always open to request (I often get the NFL put on of a Sunday night), 2 pool tables and 3 dart boards and a poker night on Wednesdays. One of the cheaper places to drink in Dorking which in todays climate is always a big positive! I live in Dorking so have never stayed so cant rate the rooms.

G M Our experience for lunch was very good. The service is impeccable by the Italian waiter. Many of the courses were standouts, such as the tartare and other appetisers, the cod, the stone bass, and the chocolate mousse (best mousse I’ve ever had). The very last surprise course at the end is a touch of genius - I won’t spoil it because I really appreciated the surprise factor. The duck was slightly underwhelming - I think it would benefit from the skin being crunchy. Food quantity was good. The lunch lasted probably 2h which is my personal max but that’s subjective, some people like it longer/shorter. The food kept coming throughout the 2h which is key - we were not left waiting for courses. The choice of wine by the glass is limited but we found a good 1er cru Chablis, which though was very overpriced. The venue is cozy, but not a highlight. The tables are large and sofa seating is comfortable. The kitchen looks very nice with big windows and light coming in, which I’m sure helps the chef and cooks there do a good job. The bill came at 380gbp for 2 tasting menus and 3 glasses of wine.

Dean Beasley Great pizza and people and very consistent
