Hello

A recent visit here was worthwhile. The local beer was Hop, indeed it was rather hoppy - yet quite nice.

Confusing as to why they were showing The Weakest Link with the sound turned down! Perhaps it was because the Olympics had changed channels...

On another note the food menu has changed but they do a Pizza/Drinks offer, so some people may wish to take this up.

Again not a bad place but not good either!, can have quite a rowdy atmosphere and does provide a small selection of ales but if you going somewhere for a decent pint then definatley better off across the road at the kings head, it is dearer but the quality shows

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.
