Hurtwood Inn in the stunning Surrey Hills is a traditional boutique pub with rooms serving an Italian-leaning menu alongside local craft beers and world wines. Located in the village of Peaslake, it is just a short drive from Guilford and just 28 minutes outside of London.
Whether you are planning a special celebration or simply passing by during a country walk, Hurtwood Inn is a welcoming place for a casual drink or to sit down for dinner. Well-behaved dogs are also permitted in the bar area. The restaurant’s adjoining inn offers accommodation for those wanting to plan an overnight stay to take in some more of the pretty Surrey countryside.
The menu at Hurtwood Inn focusses on authentic and tasty Italian classics, with starters of local beef carpaccio with rocket and black truffle, fresh mussels and calamari with tartare sauce. For something easy and reliable, one of its pizza or pasta dishes is sure to fit the bill, with all its its pizzas cooked in a wood-fired oven for the best possible flavour. There is also a selection of main courses which spans Italian favourites to pub classics. Look out for the likes of chicken milanese, fish and chips, plus a range of burgers. Save some space for dessert which includes a homemade tiramisu or chocolate brownie with ice cream.
The kitchen team also serve brunch everyday until 11:30am, with favourites such as avocado on toast, fluffy pancakes, eggs benedict and a full English all up for grabs. While on Sundays it turns its attention to a mean Sunday roast with all the trimmings!
Do note that there is a kids' menu available for those who want to bring along the whole family, while a takeaway menu is available in the evenings if you'd rather stay at home.
