Same as the keep i would venture shotboy.
Ps are you the barman here ?Yes the 3Tuns, a very successful place wasn't it? Lasted all of about a year!It's gone,they've gone, get over it!!Recently returned ere after a couple of years away...wtf has happened??
When it was the 3Tuns it had some personality..not to mention a manager with some as well.
Bring back the aussie fella and the staff and customers of 05!!!

Talking of hidden agendas i don`t trust comments from people who only talk about one pub or is that just me??
The Villagers hosted a birthday party of 13 and we were really pleased with the food, surroundings and general atmosphere. Great choice of fish and all freshly prepared - we'll come again!Busy pub. Told our food would be 20 minutes, waited more than one hour. Childrens' (all under 11)food was inedible as they had used 'mexican chillli' sausages despite the fact that we had asked for childrens' portions (and prices ... this place is expensive. We wre then overcharged, offered a 'discount' for the 2 ruined meals and still paid £40 for 2 adult meals (each less than £10) one child's bangers and mash, 3 J20s and two halves. You judge. I'd say - lousy service, lousy food, lousy deal. Try nearby Shamley Green instead.

great HSB beer but would like more varied guest ales. Not sure about TV on most of the day...Great bar staff who are genuinely interested in serving you. Nice to drop in for a chat. dear gentlemen,i was in this fine establishment not three weeks ago,what a great pub,yes it is rather over the top on the price of ale,but it was in fine condition,and the service was of top quality,the four guys i was with had a great time and are going back next week,hope to see you down there.6-10.Got to say i find London Pride very over rated there are so many far better ales !!!! Fullers are a little up themselves now a days i`m afraid
Shame

Very pleasant sitting by the river on a summer's afternoon and an excellent pint of ESB too. Shame about the pansy stemmed pint glass, I shall ask for a straight next time.
We didn't try the food, but lots of people eating and no obvious returns, so it can't be that bad.Well went here today for a birthday lunch; and my genral impression was the staf adhere to the old adage 'You don't have to be slow to work here, but it helps!!' Service was absolutely awful; with no apology from staff or management. Had to point out on two occasions that I had been waiting for ten minutes to get served, whilst the satff faffed around serving other customers that had only just arrived at the bar. Food was awful; ten quid for some under cooked prawns with soggy tomatoes and dry rice. The chef must be an amatuer or just doesn't care, after having waited forty minutes for the food I thought it would have at least been tasty; no such luck. The people behind this bar need to take a good look at it and either give up and give someone else a go or sack the current staff, take the bull by the horns and make make some (earned) money and satisfy some customers. In future I'll be taking my and my friends custom to the far superior Britania. We find this a smart, friendly and well run establishment for an after work depressurising session, or lunch time drink.

I have yet to sample the food however, so I cannot comment on that aspect.

The staff members we have encountered here have been chatty without being obtrusive, as well as being cheerful and helpful which is a winning combination for me.

I certainly don't find the prices here offensive, but I don't drink Red Bull so I have no idea what that drink should cost.

Whilst The White House may not be everyone's cup of tea, it is one of my favourite places to pop into for a drink in Guildford, and has never disappointed me yet.

Was in there about 6 months ago. Wasn't really worth a review or a rating until I read the fakes below.

Bland, vanilla, beige. All the heart and soul of Terminal 3. To quote the Hitchhiker's Guide. "Mostly Harmless". Oh deary me beersupper, looks like staff, friends, crony customers or smarty pants types just trying to talk a place up for a laugh. Really, tut..tut but good try anyway ! No rating left, not been in there for years after some toe-rag broke one of my wing mirrors in the Millbrook car park.Last 4 reviews not kosher me thinks, dont belive me click on their names and see where else they have been !!!!

Someone has put a picture of the pub sideways, tut tut. Shameful behaviour. This is not a good pub in many ways at all, in fact the only reason for coming here may be the good selection of ales, including Timothy Taylor i believe, thats if you can bare getting past the annoying staff..

2/10Much better than when it was the three pigeons just wish there was more downstairs drinking spaceI'm no mathematician - but if you do have 3000 customers a week that is 430 every day - '7days a week'. [lets say 130 for lunch & 300 in the evening.] Are we talking about the same pub? you appear empty most of the time. However-the restaurant upstairs is quite good, can't you bring this downstairs. It would be the best located eaterie in Guildford.

Not somewhere special to visit. Really a lager pub / wine bar. Has a outdoor bit which is cool. But the novelty wears off after a few visits. Music can be great but really should be changed back to a nice pub with a decent pint while keeping its trendy image. You can find a lot worse in Guildford. However it seems to have lost some of it buzz in the last year.Love it! Always the first port of call when I am in Guildford. Funky decor, great music, friendly atmosphere and the outside courtyard is definitely a bonus. Highly recommended.I'm thinking Oska is not part of this stitch-up.

Anyway... the five and lime, better than the legion. have eaten here once, the beer is better than some bars too.

Trainman - looks like this pub wasnt to your taste. Thats ashame but i'd recommend giving it a few more goes. This is a near little pub with some good beer. They do the 6X with is very tasty. It deserves recognition.Bitter&Twisted was good ystdy, but the studo bar'man' passed some snide remark when my friend sent back 2/3 pint of summat else which was cloudy. The mgr said we couldn't play darts coz he was about to set up for a band, then promptly put on his coat & went out! Tosser.A pub in a modern style but with a friendly feel. Food looks and smells good although I didn't have time to eat. Real ales are also available but served too cold in my opinion. The 6X I had was a bit old tasting - but then I was the only one apparently drinking bitter in the pub (sorry bar).

There are conflicting views here about the King's Head, what I will say is over the years its been a tremendous pub. I am sure the new people in charge are doing their best. Some people really are too quick to judge, give it time my friends. Actually "sensible pub reviewer" i am no such lady, i have recently moved back to the area and these "local" pubs in the area are the only ones that i have been back to and found that this one was the only one that i liked, last time i checked this website is for writing reviews and that is what i have done and presume that is the reason you are on it too. and "surrey pub man" you wouldn't know a decent pub if you head butted the bar. I am more than happy to be a or become a local here even tho i am not i felt very welcomingSo new Barlady and Barman take over at Kings Head. You are the lady in question DiscoBird, interesting how you should dismiss the other 3 most local pubs and put a good review of Kings Head. I'm with SurreyPubMan on this one.

The GI is easily the best pub in the area for the quality and range of its beer. Moreover, it is a proper village pub with a great welcome and good food. There is no muzak: the sound of convivial conversation is predominant here. If only more pubs were like it. I'd move to Puttenham but I can't afford the house prices!Great village pub close to good walking country, with a real dedication to serving a range of good ales. A real log fire burns in the grate, and a hum of conversation dominates, rather than music. Genuinely welcoming and friendly. The house beers are Ringwood Best Bitter, Harvey's Sussex, and TT Landlord; guests were Triple fff Alton's Pride, Hammerpot Red Hunter and Ballard's Nyewood Gold.

Well worth seeking out.Found the Good Intent while walking the North Downs Way. Why can't more pubs be like this. Six real ales including a ruby stout in excellent condition. Friendly pub of locals, their dogs and walkers. The food is well priced and excellent value. If you are in the area its a must.

Hello Owain! Are you well?

I do aplogise my comment was surely taken out of context! I was merely saying with such a late night, there are likely to be more drunks causing mischief. I have nothing against MR/MRS DJ :-) Thank you.Lovely pub.

It has a nice range of seating/tables and a lively but relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are very reasonably priced (for Guildford) and there are always a few real ales on. Notably, a V.S.O.P Covoursier is less than £3 (£2.70 I believe).

The pizzas are decent and also sensibly priced, but some of the bar snacks are a bit steep. £1.20 for a bag of crisps? They may be Tyrrel's but come on.

There is a good mix of customers and age ranges which is nice to see, and the mentioned DJ nights happen in the function room rather than the pub itself. Anyway Mr 'Reasonable', since when has the presence of a DJ been associated with 'yobbish culture'?I hear they are going to be holding a DJ night here, going on until 3am I believe... Terribly late really. I do hope this pub does not go down the yobbish culture route, no - that would be a crying shame to the good citizen of Guilderford.. Generally speaking a fine place for the odd ale or perhaps a lager if one chooses this path. A pizza here is fine too.

This is a great pub for real ales same as the old Spread Eagle was years ago when Tony ran that, dont know about the food but ales you can`t beat this place.Blimey - a pub landlord who knows how to look after and serve proper beer. A rarity these days. Great range of ales and good food as well. Always worth the trip.Happened to be around Guildford today and foumd this in the CAMRA Good Beer Guide. Best lunch in ages. Proper food with properly cooked veg and some great ale to go with it. Even had mild on! People friendly too - both sides of the bar. Definitely going back.

The menu will be changing next week so return again to sample that too!Now has a decent beer garden out the back, which adds to the summer appeal. I will be eating here Saturday night so will update on the food front soonNow this place has gone all rather upmarket in the last couple of years, indeed i am for the new style of gastro pubs, at the end of the day anything to kick the old fashioned smoking habit don't you agree. This pub still caters for the good old fashioned pub drinker so do not be alarmed, as i remember the likes of IPA are on tap. Its alright is this place.

8/10

Sorry i ment to ask what the hell a H File is as you dont ever seam to find any are they like Dodo`s non extinct? As i have said before i do like this pub but the picture above does it alot of credit as it looks nothing like that now, not that i want to diss.goths but the outside decor.makes you feel the place could be full of out of work ones.Its a chocolate brown col.that is peeling and looks very tired the curtains (dirty red)are falling down all in all puts people off going in.
Shame as the inside is good you can have a very chilled out time here.
This pub was refurbed in 2007 and changed dramatically.
Pool table and darts board have gone.
The food is very good and it has a great selection of beers, ciders and wine.
The garden has been made over too and now has a covered area and heating.
All in all a very nice pub for dinner and/or drinks.

One of the Guildford town centre pubs, this is a reasonable little place which at the moment does a very good drop of Hogsback TEA (Traditional English Ale). Handy for a half after shopping at $nearby_department_store.P.S. - does anyone know what Jonathan Sewell (14th May'07) is on about...! ? ? ? ? Or should i lay off the doubles...!?!? The 'George Abbott', a great bar to watch the football live. It gets pretty crowded on match days tho', so get in early if you want a seat. Bar service was good, polite & efficient despite the crowded bar area. I haven't eaten here, so can't comment on the grub, apart from it looked like standard pub-chain fair, and smelt ok to me..! (But then Mrs TJ says i'll eat anything anyway...!)
The above site photo carefully avoids the usual array of wheely-bins and recycling bins, and the car park at weekends is usually full of cars (pay & display). Although i think that's changed recently, i think its now 'permit holders only', which is a bummer for us plebs who don't live locally! (I'll get the train next time..) Nice pub, but if you want a quiet pub, try the 'White House' opposite (you have to pay extra for the 'quiet' tho')..! TJ
