There’s something magical about Christmas in the Surrey Hills, and nowhere captures it quite like The Hound & Heather. Nestled at the edge of the Devil’s Punch Bowl, our rustic-luxe country pub comes alive during the festive season with warm fires, seasonal decorations, and the kind of hearty welcome that makes every gathering feel special.
Festive Dining at Its Best
Our chefs have created menus that celebrate proper pub food done right – with a festive twist. Think succulent roasts with all the trimmings, rich puddings, and a glass of something sparkling to toast the season. Whether you’re planning Christmas Day lunch, Boxing Day with the family, or simply a festive meal out in December, we’ve got you covered.
Perfect for Parties & Gatherings
Christmas is about sharing, and The Hound & Heather is the perfect setting for office parties, group dinners, or a catch-up with friends. Our flexible spaces mean we can host everything from intimate tables to larger celebrations – all with the same relaxed, welcoming atmosphere.

Cosy Corners & Country Charm
After a bracing winter walk across the Devil’s Punch Bowl, there’s no better feeling than stepping inside to the scent of mulled wine and the glow of our fireplace. Dogs are welcome too, so the whole family can be part of your festive outing.
