Directions

Nat Grid Ref: TQ246410

Location:
From Reigate, take A217 south for approx 4 miles then after passing The Black Horse pub on left continue to next roundabout. Take 2nd exit then, after a short distance turn right at road junction. After approx 1½ miles enter Charlwood village. The Greyhound is on right.

Public Transport:
The nearest station is Gatwick and taxi is probably best from there (about 3 miles).

Map (click to enlarge):

The Greyhound has a small outside area, serves Green King ales and is open all day Sunday.
It has a "Hungry Horse" restaurant franchise - the food is simple, plentiful, reasonably cheap and aimed at families with children - but you cannot book in advance and it is popular, so expect to wait!
