What a great meal we had here. The food was amazing and the vibe of the service was casual but excellent, a good explanation of the dishes and attentive to ask if we was suffering with any alergies. We came for a Roast and left with full happy belly's hopefully next time we can stay a little longer for pudding. Thankyou again for your hospitality.

This pub has upped its game with it's food offering. In the last 6 months it's gone from being somewhere to go because the location is convenient to somewhere I would choose to meet friends for dinner.

It was an opportune Friday no-kids dinner for the two of us. The staff were great - saved the whole experience. The food - not there really. Great that the choice of gluten free options is fantastic (that was our deciding criteria). BUT I had to return the steak as it arrived as a piece of bouncing rubber, drenched in gravy. #2 was ever so slightly better (read edible), still drenched in gravy... All in all, there are much better options nearby.

Dissapointed with the service no one asked if we wanted any condiments, or more drinks.. I ordered a side of buttered vegetables. There was not butter at all... and the veg were gross, a few beans which were nice, some soggy red cabbage and some paste that tasted of curry... not my idea of buttered veg... (no butter at all in this dish) despite being disabled we were given a table down the steps... which were hard for me to navigate.. but the upper level was quite nice. Staff mainly very inattentive... I was looking for mustard and another glass of wine... but was ignored... To be fair the main courses were OK if you like powdered mash... the sausages and pie were good and the veg on the main course was nice... I dont think we would go again..

The horse and groom is a great pub restaurant. Not pretentious and not pretending to be something it's not. It provides great pub food that is simple and delicious. What we love is its very dependable, good value with friendly service. Fish pie is a stand out for me and my wife loves crispy beef salad.

Alisha and colleagues, if ever you decide to pass out whilst enjoying a fabulous night on a high stool look no further. Alisha (apologies for the spelling) could not have done more, cleaning up both head and nose bleeds whilst reassuring me that all would be well. Many thanks also to all the other customers who could not have been kinder despite a big overweight customer disrupting their evening. Prior to this service and food was outstanding but after this Alisha and her colleagues kept me safe and well until arrival of paramedics Harry, Steve and one other whose name I missed for which I can only apologise. Love and thanks to you all and apologies again for the disturbance 🙏🙏

It’s been sometime since I’ve visited. The service was very good and it was extremely busy at lunchtime. Menu has a good choice. We just had mains which were very tasty and served promptly and came to the table hot. The fish pie was delicious with a good amount of chunky fish. I was impressed. Will certainly return.

Great meal and the food was hot and well presented. It was packed to the gunnells with people, so the service was slower than usual. We had Raj who was great, she really looked after us, despite being frantically busy and she kept us informed. There wasn't a free table! Would go back at any opportunity and will ask for Raj again.

Came here with friends to have dinner as this pub is special to them, and I could see why, what a beautiful place, greeted with a very kind and warm welcome by staff, nice couple of drinks before they showed us to our table, ordered our dinner and it was with us in a few minutes, very hot, very fresh and very tasty, the service we received was the best I have seen in a while. We will %100 be returning.

Had a family dinner, risotto and the soup for the starters looked really good, and feedback was very good….. i had the cauliflower wings from the nibbles section which was a bit disappointing and I should’ve gone for a starter as only 2 pounds more. Caulk wings were 4 florets of cauliflower, fried. Fish and chips was really good, pie was really good, but the Seabass could’ve had some extra vegetables to soak up the sauce. There are only two potatoes and then loads of sauce so the plate seemed unbalanced.

Our mum was really looking forward to her Birthday lunch. Her 86th Birthday. When I made the booking I was sure to put this in the form. We had a nice meal but no one acknowledged that it was her birthday. She had a balloon tied to her chair so it was obvious. It was just such a shame. She would have loved to have been made a fuss of. I didn’t say anything at the time as I didn’t wish her to realise.

We had a lovely lunch here. The fish and chips were absolutely delicious - I’d love to know how they made the batter so crispy - and the staff were all very polite and friendly. There are lots of gluten-free options and the Coeliac UK accreditation offers extra reassurance that it’s a safe place to eat for those (like me) with coeliac disease. We were asked about allergies in arrival and provided with a full allergen menu, and my dishes were brought out separately and noted to be gluten-free. It is a bit pricey, but we’ll definitely be visiting again!

Very good 'port in a storm ' so to speak! We had to abandon our plans and seek warmth, shelter and food, all of which you were able to provide in abundance, despite no booking on our part! Service and food were excellent. Nothing was too much, even when we requested the children's menu as one of our number could only manage small portions etc.

This place was quite splendid. No joke, one of the best pubs I’ve ever been to. Amazing atmosphere and if you want the best Long Island Ice Tea in Guildford, Rio is your guy. Rio gave the recommendation after my friend Tyler, who has special needs, asked for the best drink he could make. He certainly didn’t disappoint! We had nothing like before. 10/10 recommend, and if you do go, please give Rio a round of applause for the Long Island ice tea. You’ll know once you have it.

We went for Sunday lunch. we got seated right next to the hottest part of the pub (the kitchen area) good for my husband as he is a chef and wanted to see what they were doing but not for me. The starters were great crispy squid, but then the beef meal was ruined by someone choking at the table behind us and my daughter said he was sick, putting me right off the food. thankfully someone opened some windows by then and a cool breeze lifted the air.

I arranged a private supper club for my 40th birthday, for 14 people. We were seated in Goswell and Birds, the farm shop adjoining The Greyhound, which is a fab venue. My friends and I were blown away by the delicious seasonal menu, which came with a wine pairing, and the excellent service from Andrea and Chris. It was an absolutely incredible evening and the perfect way to celebrate my big birthday.
