Drummond at Albury, Albury

This 19th century pub used to be owned by the Duke of Northumberland, and until 1910 had its own brewery when it was taken over by the Surrey Trust Company. The pub presents a stylish and comfortable environment in which to enjoy the excellent food and drink on offer. Outside is a lovely garden attractively set by the banks of the Tillingbourne with the main parking over a bridge. Inside there is a bar area with bare boards and flag stones round the bar, wood panelled walls, an open fire and some sofas as well as chairs. The conservatory is on the same level and families are welcome there at all times. There is also a restaurant area down a couple of steps from the bar area. High quality home-cooked food is available from 12-3 and 6-9:30 each day (12-8 Sunday), and a number of daily specials are always available with a board in the bar telling you the local suppliers they use. The pub also opens 8-10:30 for tea, coffee and soft drinks except on Sunday when breakfast is available 8-10 with tea, coffee and soft drinks then available until midday. Although there is not a separate children's menu many of the dishes can be done as a child size portion. Accommodation consists of 11 en suite rooms, four of which are in a separate annexe including a family room which is wheelchair accessible. There is a ramp or steps from the parking at the back to the bar area where there is a disabled toilet and baby change. Dogs are welcome away from the restaurant and there is free WiFi. It may stay open sometimes until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays. The pub closed for "5 weeks or so" on 29 March 2022 for refurbishment and eventually re-opened in early August 2022.
