Abinger Hatch, Abinger Common

This highly attractive wisteria-clad 17th century inn can be found opposite the church., and was a former Surrey Trust Company house. The interior rambles over three levels served from a beautiful English Oak bar. The lowest part of the bar has large flagstones on the floor, with the next and the top area, which is mainly used as overflow during busy periods or for functions, having bare boards. Throughout there are wooden beams and posts, solid antique furniture, and walls displaying interesting prints. Up to seven craft keg beers are available. Good food is a feature with a varied menu on offer, with the kitchen open all day. In summer food is served outside and also in a large teepee. If the weather is good there may be summer BBQs on Saturdays. There are some games for the garden behind the bar. Selected sport, such as rugby, is shown on terrestrial TV. There is a separate baby change room next to the ladies. They are part of Brit Stops which means that one or two campervans can park in the back parking area if it has been booked in advance.
