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.

Kasia was amazing. I have a number of allergies and when we arrived she had prepared a menu specifically for me. Food was great and absolutely a pub that went above and beyond - will certainly go again Lovely atmosphere on a busy Friday evening too

Very unwelcoming if you only want a drink, no where to sit indoors in what should be the bar area, every table is reserved for dinners even though there is a huge restaurant area, it seems that these days pubs are only interested in serving food…This isn’t what a pub should be!!!

It is the third time here, because of family matters. It is allways nice to stay here. The rooms are cosy and nice. Even if i just had two different rooms. I prefer the one without a carpet therefor the bath in the other room is really great, old but also modern. The food fine. I am pretty sure i am gone come again.

I took my family for Sunday lunch and the only option for me as a vegetarian was a cauliflower steak which I thought was very overpriced at £20. The vegetables also lacked imagination, greens and carrots. Would have been nice to have cauliflower cheese on the menu, maybe not for me but for the meat eaters in the family. Lovely warm and welcoming place but have had much better Sunday lunches elsewhere. Wouldn’t be in a rush to go back.

We stayed here recently for a family wedding. We don't know this area, but we were looking for somewhere close to the venue to stay. The Running Horses is a lovely pub/inn, the rooms were comfortable and a good size, the bed was comfy too, and the bathroom was perfect for a couple. I would absolutely stay again.

Great food & a lovely atmosphere. Went for lunch. The prawns on toast for starters was excellent. My wife went vegetarian and she really enjoyed her starter and main. I had the burger for my main & it was excellent. Will definitely be returning.

First time visitor on a Tuesday evening in early December. Drove for 40 minutes from Pyrford to Mickleham and we passed many pubs to get there. Questioned my mate who was driving about why we were going so far for a beer and a burger. Opened the door and realised why. Roaring open fire, great atmosphere and really welcoming Landlord who took time out of serving to say hello and even brought our beers over. The main event though was the burger. Quite simply the best burger I've had in many years! Cooked to perfection with a generous portion of fries on the side. Will definitely be returning as my mate wouldn't stop raving about the Sunday roast!!
