Five Centuries on Cranleigh High Street
The Richard Onslow is the oldest of Cranleigh’s pubs, dating from the 16th century. It was known as “The Six Bells” (after the parish church bells) and briefly as the “Flower-de-Luce.” In 1801, it became “The Onslow Arms” when King George III honoured George Onslow with the Earldom of Onslow. Renamed “The Richard Onslow” in 2009 after Sir Richard Onslow, Speaker of the House of Commons. Four distinct phases of construction spanning five centuries create a layout of interconnected rooms, each with its own character.
Peach Pubs Quality
The kitchen produces fresh seasonal food daily with menus that change with the seasons. Well-kept ales, thoughtfully chosen wines, and classic cocktails complete the offering. Ten characterful bedrooms make it a genuine village inn. Peach Pubs won Best Sustainable Pub Company at the 2022 Publican Awards with three-star Sustainable Restaurant Association accreditation.
