Barley Mow, Tandridge

I have just been told of a little anecdote concerning the Barley Mow, Tandridge, in that a previous tenant - a retired Harley Street dental surgeon - took over the pub, and on his first night was asked for a Final Selection. His reply: "I'm sorry I have just moved in, we have no racing papers, but will the Evening Standard do?"

He was known as "Old Final Selection" at Whitbread's Brewery for many months afterwards!
