White Hart, Dorking (Snake Pit)

Known locally as the Snakepit, this is a small but lively drinker's pub just off the High Street which has cellars built into local caves. Due to health and safety reasons these are no longer used to store beer but one can be seen behind a gate at the back of the smoking area behind the pub. There are two distinct areas on either side of a horseshoe shaped bar, one of which houses a pool table and the pub has a pool team. Three big screen TVs show all major sporting events and there is a juke box. The walls are decorated with old adverts including one which has sales details from 1849 describing the pub as having a good bar, tap room and parlour and also a well of fine spring water. The pub does not serve food but customers can bring their own, and tend to use either Subway at the end of Dene Street road or the fish and chip shop just down the road the other way, but ask first. The gents toilet is accessed through a police telephone box (like Dr Who's Tardis).
