The Surrey Oaks is a great supporter of micro-breweries from both near and far. Four guest cask beers are available and these are constantly changing. A dark beer is always available plus around twenty ciders and a perry are sold direct from the cellar.

Further variety is provided by twelve keg beers sold from a beer-wall. An extremely popular beer festival in a marquee takes place over the Late May and the August Bank Holiday when around 100 beers and ciders are available over the weekend. A variety of live music is played outside throughout these weekends.

The building itself dates in part from the 14th century, but only became a pub in 1650 having previously been a wheelwright's cottage. Internally there are a number of distinct drinking areas. The main drinking area is a low-beamed flagstone bar which has a large inglenook fireplace complete with wood burning stove, and low beams covered in pump clips. Another room is to be found near the car park entrance and this is usually a little quieter.
