About The Dolphin

The Dolphin is a historic country pub on The Street in Betchworth, opposite St Michael's Church, acquired by Dorking Brewery in late 2024. It retains flagstone floors and log-burning inglenook fireplaces, with a large beer garden surrounded by trees. It suits walkers and locals after a proper village pub, with real ales a clear focus under its brewery ownership; the food offer is confirmed on-site but specific dishes and cuisine style were not verifiable from official sources at time of research.
