The Drummond at Albury in Guildford

We visited Albury for my partners birthday as his friends live in the Woking/Gulfport area and I would highly recommend this place to anyone who wants high quality for a very decent price. From the rooms to the food everything was 10 out of 10. We stayed for the evening meal on our first night and the food was phenomenal. We expected breakfast to be like any other hotel breakfast but we were very wrong, this one was EXCEPTIONAL. Over our 3 days we had a range of items on the menu and all were delicious from the veggie breakfasts to the ones including meat. We would recommend anyone to stay here and will be visiting again when we come down again. Very easy transport links to central London too!

For our wedding celebration with friends and family we wanted somewhere special that we had visited before and enjoyed. We are so pleased we chose here. The staff were professional from planning and discussing options with Tom, to the amazing delivery on the day. The food was excellent, truly delicious, a very creative and successful menu for our guests with perfect timing. All of our guests commented on how good the food was and how attentive and welcoming the staff were. Jacqui and her team on the day were first class from the welcome drinks and throughout. Thank you for making our day so special.

We stayed at The Drummond as our son had an audition in Guildford so it was convenient. The room we had (in dog) was just perfect , very clean and just right for our one night stay. The evening meal (£70 off the bill as part of the DB&B price) was outstanding !!! Best dinner we have had in a very long time, even for our 11 year old. The staff were courteous and friendly and even fussed the dog. I cannot recommend enough. We had an undisturbed nights sleep in a very comfy bed with the kids in a separate room off our own room. Breakfast the next morning was again outstanding !! Fantastic quality again - somewhere we will visit again , even more if our son gets into Surrey University !! Can’t thank and recommend enough!!! Amazing

Had a late Sunday lunch here and the whole experience was fantastic, from arriving at the bar and ordering a drink to leaving after we’d eaten. We’d arrived early but were given a seat in the bar to enjoy our drinks. My partner suffers from hearing issues so we politely asked if the music could be turned down a touch, and they responded immediately. We went through to the eatery and ordered two Sunday roasts, one was pork and the other the vegetarian wellington. The menu is great plus we were informed of the specials on offer too. The food was absolutely amazing - presented nicely and plenty of it, topped off with a big Yorkshire pudding. Vegetables were nicely cooked (roast potatoes, carrots, parsnips and fresh greens on the side). The vegetarian wellington was gorgeous - full of flavour - I’m not veggie but would wholeheartedly recommend it. It wasn’t too big which with the amount of veg might have been overfacing and I really enjoyed it. My partner said the pork was excellent and it came with some lovely crackling. Sadly no room for a pudding but the choices looked really good! Well done The Drummond - friendly, efficient staff and nothing was too much trouble. Compliments to the chef - probably the best roast dinner ever!

Not a great birthday celebration. Only went because I had an offer of a free bottle of wine or £25 off any bottle. We didn't want a whole bottle so asked if we could have an alternative. The offered wine must have been very cheap because all I got was a free Mohito. At least they called it a Mojito but actually it was a lime soda with mint. As for the food, my husband's seabass was a very small, dry fillet with underdone sautéed potatoes instead of the listed new potatoes. My duck leg was tasty but rather dry. The cheeseboard should have consisted of 5 cheeses but they had run out of one. We were offered more of another but refused. I was still surprised to be charged the full amount for this dish. The treacle toffee pudding was excellent. We also had Sunday lunch a few weeks ago and were very disappointed. Just an average pub Sunday lunch with tough beef.

We thoroughly enjoyed our visit on Easter Day for a roast after a walk. I’d braced myself for a long wait on such a busy day but the staff were lovely and welcoming and very efficient. Food and drinks came quickly. The roast beef was excellent with a huge Yorkshire pudding and lovely veg & gravy. The dining room is really pretty. My son loved his rhubarb cheesecake. Excellent.

Wonderful overnight stay. Really spacious room. Vey comfortable. Unbelievably delicious breakfast. Vegetarian full breakfast with vegan haggis. Try it. It's amazing!

Fabulous room, spotlessly clean. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Great pub atmosphere and food was wonderful. Second time here and will definitely be back.

Lovely pub, we had a good meal, the service was very good and the food reasonably priced. We stayed the night and the room was a good size very clean and well set out. Breakfast in the morning was very tasty too. All the staff were all excellent and couldn't do enough to help.

Hello, I have just returned home after an experience I will not forget after eating at one of your Peach Pub Franchises. The locations of your pubs are noteworthy...your menu is certainly not! We ordered your Pork offering to be confronted with four small fatty pieces of pork, sitting on cold red cabbage with a sickly sweet  carmelised  sauce.  There was nothing substantial in the meal at all costing  around £18 which we ate in three minutes flat!    I took out the four bits of fatty pork and wiped off the nasty sweet stuff with a serviette then took of the flabby fat and ate the four tiny morsels of pork and it was still sickly sweet.  I found myself  filling up on Smarties you give out with coffee after my walk in the Surrey countryside! I came home and fixed us all some lunch since we were all starving!  This was a belated Mother's day treat at your pub in Albury. It was a huge disappointment and money for old rope.  Who do you think you are kidding? What's wrong with the old pub grub with lashings of vegetables and plain gravy and a Yorkshire? I will never eat in a Peach pub again on principle because you are trying to pull a fast one!  Its literally day light robbery and although my East Horsley local pub is also a Peach pub and I used to love it I will be informing people of my experience  in this locality.   I remember the days when we had a carvery at the Duke of Wellington and it was superb.  You couldn't eat another thing on a sunday afternoon! Just look at your empty tables and weep Mr Peach!  The sun was out and noone was around in your Albury pub.  PLEASE READ THE ROOM AND BRING BACK SENSIBLE PUB GRUB!  Not this caramelised rubbish which is so sweet it's poisonous! What are you trying to pull?  Me and my friends are off to The Onslow now in Clandon where we can get a decent bit of grub!  With no sugar ...good meals are sugar free and your target customers have dodgy pancreas' since we are all in our 60s now! BUT WE ARE THE ONES WHO STILL HAVE SOME CASH TO SPEND.  What ARE you thinking?  😖 Mrs G East Horsley

Excellent pub with excellent staff and amazing service. Couldn’t fault it. Foods a bit pricey but that’s the same in most places I guess

I have been really impressed by the improvements to this pub since the major refurbishment and new ownership. However a small event put me off. I stopped for a relaxing glass of wine this evening. I was disappointed to smell people’s pungent vapes in the bar. I asked the staff if this was allowed and was assured that it was not! Even so some vapers were allowed to continue. I think vaping is totally unacceptable in an indoor public area, least of all a gastro pub! Minus 2* from me.

Really lovely country pub. We had a fabulous Sunday roast. Great selection of roast options, service and food was excellent. Would definitely go back.

We stayed here overnight on the way to Gatwick. We had planned to arrive around 7 for a leisurely dinner before staying the night but extreme traffic delays meant we were nearly 3 hour late. Very kindly the manager arranged to have some food kept warm for us and made us feel very welcome when we eventually arrived. A really great service and a very comfortable room. we're only sorry we couldn't stay for breakfast - next time!

Wonderful English pub with superb food, vibes and ambience. I have come here many times over the years. It’s up there as a pub of choice for food and a wonderful English experience. Firstly it’s in a beautiful part of world. English countryside personified! Secondly the food is fantastic. A la carte and also the Sunday lunch with amazing roasts and meats. I had parsnip soup (delicious!) and the roast pork (divine!). My parents had the roast beef and roast lamb and they very much enjoyed their meals. Great find in the Surrey Hills. No wonder it’s packed most days. Booking ESSENTIAL.

This was a lunch for Valentine’s Day so we wanted something special - and we got it. It’s a big pub but full of character and the dining area looks lovely. Proper linen napkins etc. We started with a shared baked Camembert, cooked just right, gooey and delicious . Followed by lamb with spinach and a cauliflower and celeriac gratin. The lamb was beautifully tender and very tasty. The gratin also was creamy and cheesy and the celeriac gave it an unusual twist. Hubby managed a pudding but I had the coffee and mini pud- still a generous portion. It’s not cheap but we couldn’t fault the quality and taste.

Wow what a find. Beautiful location. Stunning grounds. Lovely friendly welcome. Taken to my room which was lovely. Had a quick light dinner at bar. Service was fabulous. Most comfy bed I’ve slept in in a long time. Room was beautiful. I will be back next time down here for work

This is a lovely country pub. I’m not sure if it’s the best pub in Surrey but it’s certainly very good and very popular. It has a great atmosphere and it looks superb. The staff are very welcoming/kind. Our room was great: a good size with very comfortable beds. I can’t really comment in detail on the food. We didn’t have dinner, but breakfast was decent. I loved the fact that it was prepared to order; there is no buffet. Highly recommended.

The best pub to drink eat and socialise in the Surrey Hills. Well done Tom & Jackie & team Drummond another fantastic evening . Albury is so lucky to have such a fantastic pub...

The most excellent pub in all Surrey! The staff, Jackie, Tom, Keeley always make you so welcome and the food is always delicious. Highly recommend if you are in Albury.

The Drummond is located in a lovely scenic area, with a stream and wonderful seating area to the rear. What makes this place well worth a visit, is in addition to the tasty food is the staff who are welcoming and attentive, and made our...

It is not often that we at a pub that is much better than we expected, but the Drummond Arms was, and we are looking forward to going back in the spring to see the lovely garden and stream. The decor was lovely, the menu...

Clean, well appointed, lovely village, and friendly staff. Food was good as well. Walks nearby and convenience store right next door for most needs.

Spent the night here on a trip round the south of London, the rooms are excellent and the staff are very professional and friendly. Surroundings are beautiful and the whole place is fabulous. Let down a touch by a rather small and yet surprisingly pricey...

Food was lovely. Jackie and her team were very attentive and quick. Food was cooked beautifully and really good value for money

Best roast ever! A little pricey but we’ll worth it. Serve exceptional. Great beer selection. Really great place

Lovely place in a beautiful village. Seems too many staff around. Ordered within 10 mins , and starters arrived in less than 5 mins .we had 1 drink each, and 2 courses within 40 mins.. Bar was filling up, and become very noisy, so paid...

Stayed at the Drummond for 2 nights, in the beautifully decorated and newly refurbished rooms. I truly loved my stay and had a wonderful vegetarian wellington in the restaurant. If you call and book directly they offer a discount so will do so on my...

Visited for my husbands Birthday. At the outset we had to move tables as the unlit fireplace was draughty on a very cold evening. Beef Wellington , advised on numerous emails not available. Enquired as to why and was told by waiter ‘It’s off mate”....

Well prepared locally sourced food, extensive menu with dishes clearly prepared in-house, all served in a warm and informal atmosphere, by professional, friendly staff who made us feel relaxed and welcome.

Absolutely delicious food and warm service. I had the venison shepherd's pie, I'm told the gnocchi and fish were also excellent.

We Visited Recently for Sunday Lunch unfortunately it was quite late in the day..? love this pub great area & surroundings have been going there for quite a few years very big hype on social media about the food unfortunately not a good as i...

Superb lunch at The Drummond. Ok, we struck lucky with a nice sunny September day and sat in the garden, but the food, service and ambience were all absolutely faultless. So nice seeing one of our local pubs well run and obviously well supported. The...

Probably the best pub to drink eat and socialise within the Surrey Hills. Well done team Drummond...

Stayed at this pub for a Sunday night with friends. It's a pretty village and the pub has lovely garden setting at the back. We had a dog room which I always slightly dread but in fact it was a nice room, clean and good...

A lovely location right next to a brook. Plenty of parking at the rear of the restaurant. Great food; however, a limited menu for vegetarians. The service was good.

Head waitress was a stress head, bossing others about, made us feel uncomfortable. Stayed for a brief meal but that was overpriced and not all that. Not the best experience.

So food arrived after a wait, one schnitzel 60% size of the other and well over cooked with burnt areas, chips end of line mostly burner crispy bits or black potatoes. Complained, offered £6 off a £19 meal and wait for a replacement or just...

Stayed here as part of a large group to celebrate a friend’s birthday. Really friendly staff, great food although breakfast was disappointing. Lovely location and beautiful gardens with access to village shop within grounds!

From the initial short-notice phone call, asking for a 12 person Sunday lunch booking, the response was warm and accommodating. On the day, the food was gorgeous, the service friendly and attentive in the charming garden - we had the best time. Can't wait to...

We stayed here overnight on 7th June. Really lovely village pub which has benefitted considerably from the investment the new management have pumped into it, especially the garden. Our dinner was excellent; personally I'd rather have eaten in the restaurant than in the decidedly cramped...

Thank you so much for Tom and Jacqui for looking after me on my birthday. I had the most amazing time and really appreciated the effort that was put in to make me feel special. My favourite pub!

We stayed here because we were doing the Artisan tasting day at Silent Pool which is less than a mile away. Such a lovely hotel and really beautifully decorated. We loved our room with the highest (or tallest?) bed we've ever slept in! All newly...

We had a fantastic lunch on Easter Monday, best pub roast I can remember for a long long time, great kids menu, super tasty puddings, dog friendly in the bar area where there is plenty of spacious seating, really friendly and efficient service. Loads of...

Very friendly staff and a really beautiful room - so much better than the usual hotel chain stuff. The room was very clean, very comfortable and the bathroom was spotless. I booked the B&B rate which I wholly recommend as the breakfast choice is superb....

I have visited the Drummond twice in the last month and on both occasions the main courses have been excellent. On the first visit we ordered the special, but when it arrived, it didn’t look much like what we had ordered – upon checking, we...

We had a very good Sunday lunch on 05/03. Service was prompt and polite. I had the monkfish tempura to start which I thought was excellent. The roast beef rump dinner was also very good with a side of cauliflower cheese to share. Wines by...

The staff were welcoming, friendly and extremely attentive throughout our stay. The room was really well presented and very clean. Our dinner and breakfast excellent. Although we didn’t use the outdoor seating area it looked really nice and blankets were available. Overall I don’t have...

This pub just keeps getting better. Staff are all so amazingly happy, helpful and polite. The food that was put on my plate could have been *** rated. Garden is beautiful. Lovely pub for lunch or supper.

Dropped in here on Sunday on the offchance having been in the area walking. It was fully booked (a good sign) - but we were welcomed and had a small couple of starters with a drink just to keep the hunger at bay. The tempura...

SUNDAY - A lot of effort and money has been put into this establishment in very recent times, and it has been done very well. I’ve been going to this pub/Restaurant for many years. To see if moving forward but maintaining its character and personality...

booked for Sunday lunch with family (and dogs!) - process for booking easy & table in the bar area. It was busy (so definitely book) but the staff were very helpful, attentive & we relaxed into a pleasant atmosphere. Lots of other dog walkers, so...

L' albergo è molto carino. Le camere pulite, accoglienti, la mia era spaziosa, con un bel letto comodo. il ristorante,...

Office "Christmas" breakfast for 5 and it was wonderful! The pub/restaurant has been superbly refurbished and looked very festive. The staff were all extremely friendly and terrific. We all had a super breakfast and will be back! Added bonus was Father Christmas joined us!

Great service and table decor, but found the dinners poor (especially for the cost). Three of us had to ask for steak knives to cut our pork and two others had replacement dinners as the beetroot and green pepper sauce was inedible. Monday evening blip?

Nice to be back at thr Drummond arms under new management.... service was amazingly so friendly and helpful.... however food was poor at best ... microwave being used too much in kitchen and nothing fresh on my plate... 18 pounds for a roast that witherspoon...

A group of 18 of us had an excellent Christmas meal at the Drummond. The service was really good, the table beautifully decorated and the food was very enjoyable. We will definitely be going back.

Was looking forward to trying another local meal out with friends, unfortunately we won’t be returning to The Drummond. The overall atmosphere was very odd, the lighting kept changing, the music was jumping genres (one minute was electronic dance music the next was 60’s rock,...

I can honestly say this was the nicest meal out I have had in a long, long time. And the service & friendliness of the staff was second to none. Would highly recommend…we’ll definitely be back

just thought we would try this pub out whilst on a walk, wow what a nice surprise. Welcoming staff and open fire, great food selection, which catered for me as a veggie whilst my husband tucked into the best burger he has had for years!...

My friends and I belong to an informal walking group for Surrey Senior cricketers. We start at a pub, walk about 3 - 4 miles enjoying each other's company and finish off with lunch. We are therefore well acquainted with what local pubs have to...

On October 8th 2022 my wife took 3 cousins to the Drummond for their annual get together. Each of them had an almost inedible main course and the manager explained that they had a major staff shortage in the kitchen. She offered a hand written...

Unfortunately our experience was unpleasant. I really wanted to like this place. There were a few mess ups with our order and a brunette waitress with a very rude attitude. I would be really frustrated if I was management. The food was not good either....

Very welcoming staff, clean and cosy room, idyllic terrace and large car park at the back! Location in the quaint village of Albury is superb for visiting the lovey Surrey Hills. Would definitely come back.

The staff here are fantastic, the best customer service I've ever experienced and absolutely gorgeous food. We had an issue with some of our orders at the start of the meal, but these were quickly fixed by the lovely manager (I believe named Keely) she...

They can’t cook. Previously this place was excellent with both splendid cooking and a great independent character. The food this time around was at best drab, ordinary and hardly worth the high prices charged. The meat was either raw (beef) or baked solid (pork) and...

I have now visited this pub twice in the last couple of months - initially a few weeks after opening and then latterly in the last few weeks. The quality of the food is, at best average, with no local suppliers used. This chain of...

Lunch for four was a great success. Staff brilliant, menu interesting and a really nice atmosphere. My main course of smoked pork belly was incredible. Two of the party had fish and chips which were voted as very good, our fourth member had a beef...

"We always serve the good stuff. It’s one of our most dearly-held values. We only serve what we want to eat and drink ourselves. For 18 years, we have sought out the very best food and drink suppliers – ones far more used to supplying...

There’s something about English pubs that is just so special, and this specialness is in abundant supply at The Drummond. As soon as I walk in I am lavished with just the right amount of friendly attention from staff who promptly show me my room...

We recently stayed overnight and had both Dinner and Breakfast at this beautiful country pub. We sat in the bar area which has a perfectly cosy/homely atmosphere with authentic decor. Enjoyed 3 courses followed by cheese and found all food of good quality. All staff...

We found the food first class and the staff very friendly and attentive, a tad expensive but these are hard times. Overall a very pleasant experience

Met friends for dinner. The setting and facilities great. Waitress service excellent and that is only reason I tipped. When food ordered very disappointed with portion size, ordered 2 x extra chips to compensate/ bulk it up. The fish special there was nothing on it...

The decor and ambience are pleasant and the range of beers is good. However, when it comes to the quality of the food and service,things rapidly deteriorate. Having read the menu extolling the quality of the beef, two of us decided on burgers and asked...

Since Peach Pubs established their mark on this pub is has been elevated into outer the space of fabulousness...ALL the staff are friendly and warm, can't do enough for you, the food is perfect quality....The pub has a geat atmosphere....ABSOLUTELY try this for size, it...

We came here for the first time for my husbands 40th birthday lunch and we certainly weren’t disappointed. The food, staff & setting was perfect. We had a really nice spot outside under the pergola looking at the river and the beautifully landscaped garden. The...

Very happy last night sitting outside on a very busy evening. All good. So pleased that the setting is highlighted by the tasteful refurbishment

We stayed a night here and had dinner too. The food was excellent. There was a great range of specials in addition to the menu, and a detailed wine list. We both had seafood dishes, which were delicious and fresh. The service was friendly and...

Having had many a top notch Sunday lunch here, we had high hopes following the recent renovation. Alas we were to be disappointed. 30min wait for food was too long, and to be served undercooked veg was a real disappointment. Desserts weren’t much better- the...

I have just returned from a night’s stay with dinner in the restaurant and breakfast this morning to celebrate friends’ birthdays. We were a group of six friends. On arrival we were greeted warmly by the staff. We chose to sit outside and enjoy a...

Having been to The Drummond quite regularly over the last few years, we were looking forward to going back following their refurb. The place is now looking really lovely, with beautiful furnishings and a super outdoor terrace. However, it really seriously needs a good manager...

This place has been beautifully refurbished and the garden next to the stream is a really great spot. The front of house staff are stylish, charming and attentive. If they want this place to succeed though, they’ll need a new chef. The food was what,...

Booked a table for 6 for breakfast, for my wife’s birthday. Had to wave at the staff and ask repeatedly for more coffees (whatever happened to the bit where the server would say ‘can I get you some drinks?’), which did whittle away the time...

Visited for my daughters graduation. Really wish we could have stayed more nights. The place is lovely and surroundings are beautiful. You could tell the room had been recently refurbished with care and to a high standard. Staff were exceptional - friendly and helpful -even...

Being local to the Drummond we were really pleased to see during recent months that the pub was being renovated. Whilst the work that's been done is lovely, it's a shame that so much has changed. We popped in earlier hoping to have a Friday...

Just renovated the atmosphere was very friendly and the food and service exemplary. Considering the newness of the restaurant and the post Covid problems of staffing we were very pleased to have enjoyed such a good meal and helpful and smiling staff. Long may it...

If you are looking for a fabulous country pub hotell/inn, this is the place to stay. The food is excellent the service is very good and the staff are extremely helpful. Beautiful settings! Really very good and would love to stay there again.

They refurbished the garden. They did very good job. Comfy chairs and benches, it all looks good. The location is fabulous. Good service. Unfortunatelly the food went down. Under the previous management the menu was much more intersting and food was really tasty and better...

The Drummond Arms is currently closed for refurbishment 😔we love visiting this pub and sitting g near the stream in the beer garden looking g forward to it opening after the refurbishment

Having done the research on all the pubs in the surrounding area, the Drummond at Albury seemed to be the place to go. The research paid off.....the Drummond at Albury ticked all the boxes, good pub, good food, good service. As well as the food...

I have been to many pubs in my 58 years on planet earth but never been offered free yorkshire puddings and roasties without being charged. That also includes this Londoner living in West Yorkshire for five years. Had sunday lunch with wife and another couple...

Wanted to visit the pub dad loved & frequented after scattering his ashes locally today. Was always a nice place but nothing special. Wow, blown away by every bit of our visit to the new and improved Drummond. We were 12 and had our own...

A quiet Thursday in an empty pub. We were disappointed that the chicken was not served with a sauce as it was more dry than when eating the same dish in other peach pubs. Good front of house so no complaints with service

An amazing Mothers’ Day Lunch. The team were brilliant making a fuss of all the mums that walked in. Staff were attentive, the food was amazing. Perfectly pink beef, moist pork with plenty of crackling, great wine recommendation. Looking forward to my next visit.

Stylish, with friendly staff and mostly very good food. Not the cheapest but with prices climbing steeply everywhere, still reasonable value. We'll be back.

A wonderful cosy ambience, great friendly service and good food and wine. How relaxing. Thank you . Can't wait to come back!

Enjoyed such a lovely lunch with my parents! The pub looks so beautiful after the peachy refurb, so bright and welcoming :) we had such a warm welcome on arrival and exceptional, attentive service from Keely throughout! Our food was cooked and presented beautifully, lovely...

First visit to the Drummond after the pub changed hands. Everything was fine but that is it, just disappointingly fine. While the food, service and drinks were "fine" the price felt too high. The most enjoyed dish of the visit was the Tempura Prawns (£9.50!)....
