| Well I returned to the king's head on a Friday night about a month after my last visit below. Things have certainly improved on the service front. Staff friendly, good beers. Gets a thumbs up. Resigningeye - 10 Oct 2011 12:36 |
| Went in with 3 other friends on Monday evening after a customer from the pub I work in recommended it. We went in and were greeted by a fairly sullen bar maid who asked me and my boyfriend for ID. As a barmaid myself I had no problem with this as we are both over 21. My other friends who are 23 and 24 were not asked and we went to sit down in their nice spacious beer garden. We had a good time even ordering more drinks from a man who i assume is the landlord (who didn't ID me). All went well til the end of the evening... a couple of other mates came in to find us and were told the pub was closed. They explained that they didn't want drinks they were just looking for us, at which point the landlord said it was fine and just to go through. He then came outside and began rudely telling us that we were not to come back without ID and that he would definitely of ID'ed my friend to which he rudely pointed. We all went to get our ID out to show him we were all over 18 but he said it was too late and not to bother! I explained that I had already been ID'ed and he seemed shocked and asked me who by. I seriously felt that we were made to feel sincerely unwelcome at this pub as we were young. We were made to feel like we had done something wrong despite the fact that we were all of age and it was his misfailings not to ID us not ours! We were not rowdy, never rude and actually put quite a lot of money behind his pub and his rude lecture at the end has guaranteed that I will never go back to this pub again, which is a shame because me and my boyfriend were planning on getting a meal there. For the over 30's this is a nice pub with a lovely refurb. for the under 30's I wouldn't bother because you will be made to feel unwelcome, whether or not you have ID or not! cheekywelshie - 13 Sep 2011 10:22 |
| Popped for some post work beers and the football on Friday evening. The refurb has pretty drastically changed the look of the place. Compared to other pubs in Guildford it's ended up somewhere between the Drummond and the Whitehouse. A farily large selection of international beers are now available, including a pretty good range of Belgian beers. Thankfully, the pub is still in the hands of Fullers and so there's plenty of good ales on tap. Unfortuantely there are evidently teething problems. The majority of the staff working clearly had no experience of working in a pub, aside from a couple of very hardworking supervisors! We ordered food (you have to ask for a menu) which was pretty decent quality when it eventally arrived, unfortunately spread out over about an hour. I shall be giving it a couple of weeks/months before trying the place again, and hopefully the staff will have found their feet by then as the new King's Head has a lot of potential.

| It is being refurbished and shall open some time in Mid August. I did not see it needing a refurbishment as was fine a while ago - hopefully it shall improve some more! It can surely only be better than the Stoke over the road. NoDisgrace - 22 Jul 2011 18:07 |
| Visited Monday afternoon this week, good local boozer, beer in good condition, friendly landlord and nice area out the back to sit in the sun, full marks all round. Hodge1 - 15 Jun 2011 08:02 |
