Botley Hill Farmhouse Limpsfield Road, off B269 Botley Hill Warlingham Nr Titsey Surrey. (01959) 577154

An old converted farmhouse in an isolated position with a good reputation for food and ale. There are usually six real ales on: Greene King IPA, Abbot Ale, Marston Pedigree, Ruddles Best Bitter and Theakston XB are the standard fayre and there is also a guest ale. The original farmhouse was reputedly owned by Henry VIII and was later bought by local landowners, the Greshams, in 1546. In 1936 the building was converted into tea-rooms, becoming a pub in 1994. For those entertainment moments, there is a marquee at weekends for the purpose and seating outside for the summer. Titsey was originally the estate village for Titsey Park and is now a small hamlet. If you cant find Titsey, just look for the large radio mast on Botley Hill and you cant miss it. If culture is your bag, then there a 3^rd century Romano-Celtic temple to the east of Titsey, and a Roman villa in Titsey Park. No accommodation here.
