The Running Horse is one of the oldest buildings and public houses in Leatherhead, Surrey, being built on land owned by the church. It has a characteristic interior, with oak beams and a real fireplace. Situated next to Leatherhead bridge and the river Mole, it is very popular with walkers. Offering six real ales, it is no surprise to see that it is a Cask Marque pub, with homemade and locally sourced food served at lunch and dinner. Three roasts are available every Sunday.

A bit of history...

The Running Horse dates back to 1403. Known once as Rummyings House it served 'noppy ale' by the infamous Elynour Rummyng, who featured in a poem 'The Tunnying of Elynour Rummying' by John Skelton, Henry 8th poet laureate. Verses of which are displayed  on one the walls. Legend has it that Elizabeth 1st, once spent a night at The Running Horse as floods made it impossible to cross the river Mole. Rumour has it that in the 17th century smugglers made up most of the clientele.
