Kingston & Leatherhead Pub Of The Season – Summer 2026

We are delighted to announce that The Anglers in Walton on Thames has been voted Summer Pub of The Season 2026.

In a picture-perfect spot by the water, The Anglers located on an old riverfront wharf where you can sit outside, watch the swans glide by, and listen to the parakeets flying overhead. Inside, the vibe is a bit more upscale and definitely food-focused, but it still manages to feel like a proper pub where drinkers are genuinely welcome. The pub recently changed hands, and the new management has improved the beer range and quality. You can regularly find perfectly kept pints of Proper Job, Timothy Taylor's Landlord, and Harvey’s Sussex Best for under a fiver.

Kingston & Leatherhead Pub Of The Season – Winter 2025/26

We are delighted to announce that The Barley Mow, Epsom has been voted Winter Pub of The Season 2025/26.

Delightful back-street local which is hidden off the Upper High Street, children and dogs allowed throughout. Smart in a traditional rustic way, with various alcoves and seating areas around the central bar. Old style wooden furnishings and ornate leaded windows complete the effect. The original pub was sited on the opposite side of the road, but the present building is a conversion from three cottages. The smaller, more cosy areas to the left are in the most recent addition. The changing beer is supplied by Fuller's, changes seasonally and may be from another independent brewer
