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.

Carpets throughout thr property were dirty. The food was poor and vastly overpriced. £24.50 FOR BREAKFAST WAS A JOKE

Incredible stay! Comfy, clean rooms and the staff could not do enough for you. The food was incredible and we were given a free glass of fizz as we were celebrating our anniversary. Thank you so much!

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!
