The Percy Arms brings something a little different to a country escape in the Surrey Hills. Set in the picturesque village of Chilworth it combines the warmth of an English country inn with a distinctive South African influence. There are just five individually styled en-suite bedrooms, each named after one of Africa’s Big Five. Downstairs, food is a major part of the experience. Dry-aged steaks sit alongside modern British favourites and South African specialities. The South African influence continues through the wine list, while cosy fireplaces, a traditional bar and extensive gardens provide plenty of places to settle in for a drink. Chilworth railway station is directly opposite and Guildford is around four miles away. Walkers can head towards St Martha’s Hill and Newlands Corner, while Chilworth Gunpowder Mills, Loseley Park and the wider countryside offer plenty more to explore.

Food & Drink
Food is one of the biggest reasons to seek out The Percy Arms. Expect modern British cooking with a distinctive South African twist, with a particular reputation for dry-aged steaks. Daily specials add further variety and breakfast is served for overnight guests. The more formal dining room suits leisurely meals and celebrations, while the traditional bar and its fireplaces provide a cosier setting for a pint or relaxed supper. The wine list deserves particular mention where the South African theme continues. When the weather is kind, the pub’s extensive outdoor space comes into its own.
