PUBBY CREDS
If you’re planning an autumnal ramble around Box Hill’s celebrated circuit, the ‘King Bill on the Hill’ is an essential stop for lunch or a pint en route (though if you’re not a walker, it’s not a place for easy access). If it’s still clement, take in the views over the Mole Valley from the leafy beer garden. If it’s not, there’s a crackling log fire waiting inside. It’s like a pub of old, right down to the patterned carpet.
THE BOOZE
A friendly, family-run freehouse, the pub is at liberty to serve local beers from the likes of the excellent Surrey Hills and Tillingbourne breweries. A good selection of wines by the glass too.
