Once threatened by demolition, this Grade II-listed building was reopened on 17 December 1998 as a large spacious Wetherspoon on a number of different levels and of many contrasts. Upstairs is a quiet area with masses of exposed pipework and a separate bar that opens at 10:00am every day. On the ground floor the curved main bar serves another group of contrasting drinking areas, including a row of snugs down one side. Families are welcome until 9pm (8pm on Sunday), with the pub getting busy and loud with students at the weekend. There is always a a good choice of guest beers with local breweries Surrey Hills, Hogs Back and Tillingbourne regularly supported. The Community Notice Board, publicises a range of local events. The pub also hosts meet the brewer nights and brewery battles every so often.

Historic Interest

Built in 1900 as a car factory for Dennis, and extended soon after. It became home to the Rodboro Boot and Shoe Company in 1919. The company left in 1928, but the premises have been known ever since as the Rodboro Buildings. (source: JD Wetherspoon Website)
