Midday Sun, Chipstead

Built in 1938 by Watney's and named in honour of the 1937 Derby winner, the first to be owned by a woman, Mrs G B Miller. Ironically, it later was bought by the Magic Pub Company and re-named the Hungry Horse. Fortunately it has reverted back to its proper name but it still carries that epithet which is used by the current owners, Greene King, for their chain of budget, family oriented food outlets. There are two separate bars, the right-hand one, which has a pool table, being the public. The left hand bar is made up of several different areas with ramps to the higher levels. It is mostly given over to food but there is a TV showing sport (another TV can be found in the public bar). There are some tables at the front. Children are allowed in the bar until 6pm. Camra members get a 10% discount on real ales on production of a valid membership card.
