Excellent family-run free-house serving real ale, with regular live music and participative events (drink and draw, fiddly diddly,...). Children welcome until 7 pm - games, books, etc., available. Dogs not admitted by order of the pub cat, Olive.
Note that food is not served on a regular basis, but with "pop-up" kitchens, provided by varied outside caterers/food trucks, with vegetarian dishes always on the menu.
Check the website/Facebook page for food and event dates.
Great vibes, good evening spent helping to celebrate a birthday! - arty atmosphere in the pub with eclectic art work displayed - pub had a nice feel - really enjoyed the evening and the live music 🎶
A great local community pub with plenty of live music on most days of the week. A good selection of ale too at reasonable prices, including the legendary Summer Lightning.
Staff are friendly and it can get fairly lively. There is also random food pop ups in the garden at the times. Appeals to a slightly more mature crowd and quirky types too.

A pub I've been meaning to write up for a while but haven't been too sure on when to dive into it. It's a local community pub, one of the very few independent ones in the area, but one I barely frequent, and I've not really got a good reason as to why.
The first trip I went here, it was a cold covidy afternoon, and I was relegated to the sea of sofas in the garden. Collected together, like the aftermath of a flood having ripped through the front rooms of an entire village, a mish mash of the comfiest seats a pub garden has ever seen.
To get there you'd need to hop on through the pub, greeted by locals playing board games with a nod, a lone bloke chewing the ear off the bar staff about the complexities of the Marvel universe pausing only to let you order, or a live band in the corner on Thursday & Sundays.
A beer fridge is well stocked, keg beers are your accessible macro gear, but most come for the ale. Expertly kept rotating cask selection; you'll typically find Oakham, Surrey Hills or a couple of obscurer local breweries. Invariably served with a sparkler.
The pub itself dates back to the late 1800s, and even used to have a small brewery on site, but it's only since Liz and Adam took it over that it's become this beacon of light amongst a sea of Young's pubs. It won multiple CAMRA awards in the mid 2010s, and continues to champion quality ale.
Food wise they've chopped and changed. BBQ burger nights, slow pulled meats and veggie options, cheese nights too, and on the weekend I went they had "Emma" (forgot the IG tag), churning out Middle Eastern dishes, orders coming in early doors on a Sunday. Bar snacks knocking about, but few pubs in the area offer their location up to pop-ups, so it's nice to see the variety.
It's a cosy place, you'll not find another one like it really, and to get 2 (good) pints south of a tenner in these parts is worthy of praise alone. Having done almost double digit visits now, I've never had the same experience twice in terms of locals, beers, Rona rules and food, yet the vibe remains the same. Welcoming, hospitable and inviting - a pub fully deserving of all the praise the locals have bestowed upon it.

Over the years I have grown to love The Lamb more and more: a home from home with a creative, intelligent, interactive and broad-minded clientele and staff. From live music to life drawing, The Lamb ticks all the boxes when it comes to being a proper community pub and creates a haven for people to congregate, socialise and make new friends. The food here is great and often caters for vegetarians (but just give them a call to check food is being served at the time you are planning to go). Outdoor seating is considerately covered and heated and blankets are provided in colder weather. The pub cat is a sweetheart too. Once you go a few times, you'll struggle to feel so at home at any other establishment!
In the photos, you can see Sally In The Woods performing recently. I took a video but it had no sound for some weird reason 🤦🏻♀️
Most unique and interesting pub in Surbiton!
Stumbled across a live music night here...fantastic! Great atmosphere and friendly crowd and staff! Garden also pretty unique 👌
I'm not on social, but website seems to list gigs, well worth keeping an eye out for!
Have only visited once, on a whim, after hearing such good things.
A quirky little pub with household garden furniture in the garden.
Drinks are probably the cheapest in the area! We were about to leave then saw two musicians about to start a set. Stuck around and are so glad we did. Have heard great things about the music scene here (mainly from reviews) and have to say it did not disappoint.
Will definitely be visiting again!
Tiny little quirky pub with eclectic decor. Has lots of live music and is dog and child friendly. Small beer selection but what they had was well kept and served.
Best Pub inda World :]
Live music (including their own festival every year), pop up kitchens, lovely staff, and the most gentle pub cat you'll ever meet.
The food is yum and the atmosphere is nice and friendly, the outdoor seating is super comfy, the clientele it attracts are also cool, and they have Guinness 0% for folks like me who can't drink any more but love a Guinness! Winner in my book
