Tasty and filling fresh sausage rolls and pastries make this a favourite stop of mine when cycling in the Surrey Hills. Always a friendly welcome and a good place to top up your water bottle.

If you are doing the newlands loop from to Dorking via Rudgwick avoid the last bridleway through Somersbury Wood. Just go on the road. (sombersbury lane then Horsham road!) It’s totally unrideable very sloppy and deep clay like mud. I learned the hard way!!
