Description
The Punchbowl Inn is a stone-floored 15th century pub on a quiet lane in Okewood Hill (Oakwoodhill) on the Surrey-Sussex border. It has a large inglenook fireplace, with horse brasses displayed above, and several different bar and restaurant areas. A small staircase from the middle bar looks like a secret "escape" but, more practically, merely leads to a function room.
Beers are from Hall and Woodhouse, for example Tanglefoot and Fursty Ferret. The pub has a nice fenced garden at the front and views from the car park at the back towards Leith Hill.
Nearby to the pub is the "hidden" 13th century church of St John the Baptist, which is the most isolated church in Surrey.
