This pub reopened in September 2017 under its current name, after a two week refurbishment, having previously been named the Old Surrey Hounds after a local hunt called the Old Surrey Foxhounds. William Garland Soper, known as the father of modern Caterham, first lived in Caterham in 1863 and returned in 1866 to become Congregational minister. He involved himself in local affairs and among his roles were chairman of Caterham Parish Council and then Caterham Urban District Council. During his time in Caterham the population increased about ten times.
This is a busy bay-windowed town centre pub and is handy for Caterham station. Although the usual single bar knock-through has occurred, two side wings of differing length remain. Formerly a Barclay Perkins establishment, later Courage and (from mid 2016) now Greene King. Live sport is shown on several screens around the pub. Live music is played every Friday with karaoke on the last Saturday of the month. There is a quiz night on Monday.

The Champion Beer of Britain is one of the most prestigious beer competitions in the world. It is the ultimate honour for UK brewers and has helped put many into the national spotlight.
Judging for the competition takes around a year, starting with individual nominations from CAMRA members and tasting panel nominations, leading to a series of rigorous regional heats adhering to a strict blind tasting policy.
