Taking friends for lunch tomorrow ,anywhere we should head?
doesn't have 'the view', but has a decent beer garden, plus they serve up a lovely beer & lovely food - the Surrey Oaks in Parkgate is where I'd go
The Botley Hill Farmhouse above Oxted - great views, great food. Use it often as it is on one of my routes.....
The Griffin Inn, Fletching has a great view of the South Downs from the back garden
King William IV in Mickleham (near Leatherhead)
I second Botley Hill farmhouse.
I second the Griffin at Fletching
That’s a huge area.....any particular direction?
This place has the best view in the South of England

Vote for Botley hill as well. Nice pub, great views and convenient for some great rides (and brutal hills).
Will need to be on a large hill to see Gatwick 20 miles away...not the best view from a pub garden though...
Botley is nice and has good views across Woldingham.
I also like the Wiremill, different type of view but nice and relaxed and closer to Gatwick. https://www.thewiremill.co.uk/#pub
Sloop Inn in Haywards Heath, it is tradition to go there if you're going to the Bluebell Railway
