The best pint in Godalming. Christmas is nearly here and the pub looks great. Log fires are lit to make it a super cosy local. Good selection of beers and guest ales and a lunchtime menu to suit all. Double fire places in the main bar and a great back bar with dart board. With New year round the corner that means 6 nations so get down, grab your pint and enjoy the rugby with friends and family. Tribute is still a Superb pint but worth trying the guest ales.

I can’t believe I’ve lived in Godalming for over 20 years and yet never visited the Richmond Arms before now. We were meeting a friend for a drink and I have to say it really was a most delightful local style pub, with friendly bar staff and a very agreeable ambience. We didn’t eat there on this occasion but I’m sure we’ll be back at some point to do just that.

What a wonderful find. A real pub with very friendly people. This is how a pub should be. The landlady couldn't have been more friendly and on chatting to her we found out she had run the pub for 37 years. Amazing!!! Joe behind the bar was happy and welcomed us as soon as we arrived. Well kept beer and a great atmosphere. It's a shame l live in Essex as this would definitely be my local if l lived near by.

Soy un habitual en el Richmond y comer allí con mi familia una o dos veces al mes. Es un pequeño pub sirve cerveza bien cuidado y tradicional pub grub a precios razonables el almuerzo (no comida por las tardes). Las dos chimeneas en el bar ofrecen una cálida bienvenida en el invierno y especialmente los pasteles - pasteles shortcrust decente en vez de la cuñas de sopa de carne con pot hojaldre encima que muchos lugares sirven.

We have popped into the Richmond Arms several times over the years for a quick drink but today was of those rare hot sunny Saturday's that we often hear about but infrequently enjoy, and after wondering around Godalming we decided to stop for a drink and a bite to eat for lunch.As always the service at the bar was welcoming and friendly and the menu and specials blackboard have plenty of choice.The food was typical pub food, tasty, reasonably priced and came in a timely manor and the beer was good.The gem to this little pub is the beer garden, courtyard out the back. Someone has spent a lot of time on the bushes, shrubs and flowers and made this space a very pleasant.If your out an about in the area I would certainly recommend the Richmond Arms on a sunny day.

I have had several Sunday roasts here over the years and have never been disappointed. There is plenty of excellently cooked food on the plate. Whether you have the chicken, lamb, or any other meats that are being served you will not be disappointed…. the chicken or meat is lovely and moist, roast potatoes cooked to perfection along with a selection of vegetables and delicious gravy. You will not leave the table hungry. The beer is kept well and there is a good selection of wine is you prefer this. The staff are very friendly and make you feel very welcome. I would definitely recommend this wonderful pub to anyone.

Over the last few years, I've been to The Richmond Arms a few times - in fact, their event for the Royal Wedding made us travel to Godalming especially. There was a great atmosphere in the pub, with televisions on screening the wedding as well as a really good barbeque and live music.Since then I've returned twice, on the first visit on a cold December morning last year when the log fires were really welcome. On that occasion I had a cottage/shepherds pie 'top' - I was intrigued with what this could be. When it arrived, it had many extra ingredients thrown into the potato topping: onion; bacon; and strangest of all, egg.This bizarre twist on an English favourite is apparently one of their best sellers, but I didn't rate it.On a more recent visit in February I had fish and chips and this was a day after having it at The Spotted Dog in Dorking. Sadly the fish and chips at The Richmond Arms didn't match up, having a distinctly 'bought-in' feeling about the batter as opposed to the battered-on-site freshness of the fish and chips at The Spotted Dog.Perhaps I've just had two bad experiences with the menu at The Richmond Arms. I have seen the roasts served and they do look good - but thus far I'm yet to be impressed with the menu and the quality of the food churned out from the kitchen. The staff are friendly, the log fires welcome on a cold winters' day and the ale is kept well. The back bar available for private hire is ideal for small parties and the whole pub has a nice cosy feel about it. One TripAdvisor 'blob' is lost for the could-do-better nature of the food experienced thus far.

Visited this pub for lunch whilst staying in Godalming last weekend. Very friendly staff and locals who all seemed to know each other but were very friendly to everyone, with most customers having a well behaved dog with them! Warm welcome by two happy spaniels when we walked in and we made friends with a lovely black Labrador called Jack! Great atmosphere, good choice of drinks. Food cooked fresh, we had fish finger bap with chips and side salad which was really nice, good selection of other pub favourites as well such as chilli and macaroni cheese. Sunday lunch also available. Would visit again and would recommend, especially to dog lovers!

Not only were we celebrating Mothering Sunday, but also the birthday of my daughter-in-law's mother in this traditional pub in central Godalming. We had the upper section of the pub all to ourselves (there were around 12 of us with 3 children). We were allowed to decorate the room and bring in a birthday cake. Sunday lunch choice was between 3 roasts - beef, lamb or pork all served with a Yorkshire pudding and lots of veg. Mustard, apple sauce and horseradish were on the table ready and waiting for us. Very nice meal - having the cake we didn't sample the puddings (will save that treat for next time). Staff were very friendly and helpful popping in and out to ensure we had everything we needed. Very impressed indeed. They had their normal menu which included some wonderful old fashioned dishes - corned beef hash and cauliflower cheese all very reasonably priced.
