This seasonal award was introduced in 2010 and is presented twice a year to the pub that is seen to have shown the most improvement over the last 6 months.

Kingston & Leatherhead Pub Of The Season – Summer 2024

We are delighted to announce that The Weir, Walton on Thames has been voted Summer Pub of The Season 2024.

In a superb location by the river's edge, a fair way from the town centre, but a nice walk to work up a thirst. Lots of tables outside the pub facing the river lead through to a Victorian style decor. The bar faces the entrance with its glass orbed lamps. The floor is mainly carpeted, and there are comfortable upholstered benches around the walls. The walls are decorated with a fine collection of copper pans, plates, ornaments and old pictures. Good selection of food, including roasts on Sundays. Dogs are welcome throughout the pub, including the guest rooms. Up to two changing beers, usually from local breweries.

Kingston & Leatherhead Pub Of The Season – Winter 2023/24

We are delighted to announce that The Boaters Inn, Kingston has been voted Winter Pub of The Season 2023/24.

This pub is away from the town centre just along the river, in a splendid location in Canbury Gardens. Very popular, especially in fine weather. Inside there is one open area curving around the bar with views of the gardens and river. It has a wooden floor on two levels, scattered chairs and tables with settees in front of the fire. The raised area to the left of the main entrance is a restaurant, which drinkers can use at quiet times. The food is popular, especially on Sundays. Beers will include a number of local options
