Best Historic Restaurants in Guildford

We went for Afternoon Tea. Excellent service, staff very attentive. Nice selection of sandwiches and cakes.

Slightly slow service with the food coming from the kitchen but as Christmas Eve understandable.

We first came here a few months previously after a visit to the theatre, and the food was so good we decided to come back for our Xmas meal. The food was outstanding again, I don't think I have ever eaten better in a pub. I had the duck rillette, followed by the venison, ending with the Xmas pudding. All of it was mouth watering, especially so the venison. The table service was exemplary, the staff were obviously taking pride in their work, and rightly so, given the very high standard of the food. One of our party has a food intolerance and the manager Anna (apologies if I have remembered her name incorrectly!) was most helpful. The overall service given was of the highest standard. My only criticisms were really out of the control of the restaurant staff. One was the very high background noise level, but it was the Friday before Xmas! The other revolved around the lack of Xmas menu choice for vegans, especially in the desserts section, where the only vegan option contained peanuts, the most well-known food allergen. The kitchen was restricted by the chain owners' set menu. Greene King take note!

Our second lunch within a month, and all expectations met. Great service; great food; great value - delightful.

We arrived for a family Sunday lunch. There were 7 of us and we arrived slightly early but this was no trouble and we were seated a few minutes early. Service was good - and the Sunday roasts were great with plenty of vegetables and giant Yorkshire Puddings. Very very good.
