| About Our Pub |
The Richard Onslow sits at the heart of Cranleigh village. The grand old tile-hung pub (formerly The Onslow Arms) re-opened in December after a long overdue refurbishment. This has revealed some wonderful period features, like the beautiful brick inglenook which makes the snug almost irresistible.
I aim to make it the most welcoming, convivial place to be, serving high quality seasonal British food, beer, spirits and wine while offering great value and service - a real 'capital tavern' of the old school. My background is in quality restaurants, including John Torode's and several of Richard Branson's on two of his idyllic hideaways, before deciding that pubs are the places where British hospitality is at its best. I ran the Punch Tavern in Fleet Street for two years and have been working with independent pub group, Peach Pubs, for the last eighteen months, scouring the South of England for a pub of my own to buy in partnership with Peach.
I am delighted to have found a wonderful building with potential to be the great local Cranleigh deserves, and to be settling in this beautiful corner of Surrey with my wife and two small boys.
Please do come in to say hello and try us out - I look forward to meeting you soon.
