The Kings Head, Guildford

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.

The Kings Head, Guildford

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.
