Enjoy a touch of history,
brought right up to date

The Rubbing House enjoys a rich history, naturally steeped in racing given our prestigious location on Epsom’s iconic racecourse.

Originally a shelter where horses could be rubbed down (giving us our name), as far back as 1801 we became a Public House.

Dramatic events such as a fire in 1857, rebuilds, renames and refurbishments, have brought us to where we are today.

A contemporary restaurant and bar, popular with both locals and visitors.

“The food is impeccable here! Only ever been at lunch but it has been amazing every time. Definitely have to book in the summer as it gets very busy. There’s a large beer garden out the front that overlooks the Racecourse. On a summer’s day it’s just perfect sitting out there with an ice cold pint!”

Steph Johnson

“Great location right next to the racecourse. The food was good and service excellent. It was a Tuesday night so didn’t need to book and was almost half full. Food is reasonably priced and sizes were good as well. A perfectly pleasant meal!”

Gar Mun Hui

“Very good service, prompt and friendly. We didn’t feel rushed at all. Food was amazing, everything on the menu look so good! Would definitely recommend.”

Will Porter

“Good food, attentive staff and great views of the racecourse and downs. Have been here a number of times over the last few years and have always enjoyed myself. A broad variety of menu choices and fantastic outdoor seating makes this a must go to place for lazy lunches in the sun!”
