About Amato
Elevated pub fare & draft beers offered in a warm, charming environment with terrace seating.
Comfortably furnished in a modern style, with two separate areas. Incorporates a Grumpy Mole restaurant, which backs onto the attractive garden. Named after the horse that won the 1838 derby on its first and only race. All Derby winners' horseshoes are mounted in the pub along with other equine artefacts . The original pub on this site was built in the 17th Century and since then has been burnt down and rebuilt on more than one occasion. By tradition each year the name of the winning Derby horse mysteriously appears chalked on the well the night before. Afternoon teas served 3pm-5pm Mon-Sat.

I had an amazing time at The Amato Pub in Epsom last weekend! The service was genuinely friendly and personal—it really felt like they cared. The garden is lovely and made for a perfect spot to hang out. Plus, they were super welcoming to my friend’s dog, which was a huge plus. If you’re in the area, definitely check it out. It’s a gem!

So good. The people here are so friendly and happy. The manager even let me make a cocktail with him for fun! Such a great atmosphere and happy place. Food is also great. Highly recommended.

We came here for dinner and the first impression is how cozy it feels. The fire place is a great touch, something you don't see at many pubs. The food is simply great. I had the rump of lamp with a bottle of merlot. Both compliment each other incredibly well. The lamp is so juicy and pack with flavour. We will definitely come back again.

Went here as a large group. Staff took the same drink orders several times, can’t fault the food it was lovely. The restaurant was pretty empty, there was only one other group on a table of 4. Shame about the service though as one of the younger staff members got snappy when asking us if we wanted ice with our drinks (he had one glass without ice and I said I didn’t mind either way) and told us to ‘stick to our orders’. Inappropriate and soured our lunch a bit, haven’t had an issue like this before at this restaurant. Please treat your customers with more respect. The other server (a young…
