Had an excellent Sunday lunch here with family. Arrived slightly early and although the table was ready we were asked if we would like a drink at the bar before we sat down which we did. Despite being very busy we were not rushed to our table at all and enjoyed sitting in the busy, welcoming, friendly bar area. The restaurant area is very comfortable and spacious with good size tables. The Sunday roasts were absolutely delicious, between us it was either pork belly or beef which we all devoured! Would definitely come back and would highly recommend.

We've enjoyed a stay of 3 nights at the Running Horses and can thoroughly recommend. All staff were so kind and helpful, the room was spotless and very comfortable. The idyllic position of this 16th century inn means there is no car park, but this was never a problem as always plenty of adjacent parking at the road side. The food in particular is excellent, imaginative and delicious. Special thanks to the mystery person who so kindly settled our dinner bill. We were totally astonished and couldn't believe the kindness of strangers. Please be assured that we shall pass this gesture on, it certainly helps to make the world a happier place.

Had a super lunch here after a lovely walk at Boxhill. Staff were really friendly and attentive and food was very tasty! Sat outside in the sunshine too which was a bonus. We had the fish sandwich, prawns on toast, and chicken club sandwich. Clear plates all round. We’ll be back!

We had a great meal and experience here. Very reasonably priced food, excellent portion size and wine selection. We caught the train from London and were in the countryside in 30min then had a 20min walk from Boxhill & Westhumble station to work up the appetite. All round great experience and lovely team who looked after us. Will be back!

We were a group of 10 having Sunday lunch after a morning walk. The pub was very accommodating to changes in our number beforehand, and offered a warm welcome when we arrived. Despite being busy, the service was efficient and friendly. We enjoyed our meals - noted in particular was the Roast Belly Pork and the Baked Hake; and for dessert - the Rhubarb & Almond Tart. We'll definitely return.
