The Antelope
A cozy Maple Road local where the beer is well-kept, the food is honest, and everyone seems to know everyone else's name.
Why we love it
Surbiton's most welcoming neighbourhood pub — unpretentious, friendly, and perfectly placed for a post-market pint.
The Antelope sits on Maple Road like it's been there forever — which, more or less, it has. This is the kind of neighbourhood pub where bartenders remember your usual and conversations drift between tables. No gastro pretensions, just good beer, honest food, and the comfortable feeling of being somewhere that hasn't tried too hard to be anything it's not. The interior is warm and worn in the right places: wooden floors, a mix of seating that invites you to stay, and enough nooks to feel like you've got your own corner even on busy nights. The pies are properly made, the burgers satisfying, and the craft beer selection better than you'd expect from a traditional local. **Local's Tip:** Perfect for a Saturday afternoon pint after the farmers' market — it's just around the corner. Quiz night is worth knowing about if you're competitive and bad at geography.
