The Drummond in Guildford

Lovely food, good selection of drinks and staff are friendly Food is really tasty and seating available both inside and outside (some outside seating is covered so doesn't matter if raining) Can easily set up a tab if you're there for a while. Update November 2023- went for burger night on Wednesday and was not disappointed. Deal includes a soft drink but I upgraded for £1 to have an alcoholic pint instead. Good weekday lunch deals for sandwich, chips and drink. Update November 2024- Mulled wine is delicious! 🍷

Excellent pub with good food. I have to praise the bar staff who were absolutely excellent, friendly service and was nothing too much trouble.

Great pub with an amazing atmosphere and too tier food!

amazing place amazing vibes, Luke is an absolute king

popped into guildford on my visit from portugal and visited this lovely pub. amazing service, food and drink.

Luke is dead good, luv his quiz

Luke is a great guy. Was a lonely atmosphere and felt very welcome.

Fantastic service! Really friendly staff and Luke is always going above and beyond to make sure you’re enjoying yourself 🙌🏼

Luke was amazing!! Fantastic service for my birthday night out We will be back 🥰

lovely service from luke absolutely wonderful

Love it lads and ladies would really recommend it. Impeccable service from Luke.

Demi Butcher - great fun Cam and JP behind bar great service and friendly chat

Great quiz, great food and I love Demi Butcher! She should host the quiz more often.

What a great quiz (still didn't win) 😭😞

Had an amazing time at the Drummond this evening. The food was fantastic and the bar staff were great. The highlight of the night was the quiz going on. The MC Demi (covering for the usual Luke who is also great) was fantastic and was a brilliant host. Would highly recommend coming along… even if I didn’t win the quiz :)

Quiz night at the Drummond was great, very challenging though icl. Demi was an amazing quiz host as always 😎

Great pub the lighting can be a little low but the food is great. Try the chicken schnitzel :) They even have gluten free beer.

Great pub, great food and great service! Best pub in Guildford! We visit often and it’s always brilliant! Best pub in Guildford

Great pub with amazing staff. Highly recommended love this place

My wife and I had an evening meal here Both had the Hake very tasty Beer and Wine good we will visit again good vibe in the pub

JP and Matty are literally the best. They were helpful but also super funny. If they work everyday I’ll be back everyday.

Matty and JP are a good laugh, really made it a good night

This place made me love British food and Guinness. Fish and chips are seasoned just right and delicious plainly. Guinness Draft Beer is so attractive every time that I want to revisit the UK.

Excellent service and a great time

JP was superb. Poured a guiness like no other.

Great local pub. Good food and friendly staff.

Lovely welcome and fabulous service from the handsome Luke and colleagues. Top notch 😀

We loved our stay here. Breakfast was so good and service very friendly.

JP and Cam are my desert. My Arakis. My Dune

Came here for dinner and drinks was banging - shoutout to the chef food was cooked beautifully. Top beers and good selection. Thanks JP and Cam for looking after us.

JP and Cam are legends and made our experience amazing!!

Lovely vibe, slightly pricey, good for a pub quiz and such.

What an absolute GEM and I don’t use this word lightly. Family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children booked the family room. The family room ( wheelchair accessible ) is an annex set in the beautiful grounds of The Drummond public house. Ample parking with its own stream. Large king sized bed and two single beds in adjoining rooms with an interlocking door. Original wooden beamed ceilings with ample of room to get around. TV in both rooms with tea, coffee and hot chocolate making facilities. Bath, shower and toilet all nicely decorated. Selection of great evening meals available and a children’s menu to boot. Breakfast ( served between 08:00 / 11:00 ) is included in the accommodation price ( see photo ) All the staff, without exception, were efficient, friendly and made us feel comfortable nothing was too much trouble. The whole family would rate this is idillic GEM 11 / 10. Would we stay here again ABSOLUTELY

Great friendly staff and good beer win win

High quality food and drinks, staff are always friendly and welcoming

Cam was lovely brilliant customer service

The best pub in Guildford, especially since the Stoke refurb, and very handsome bar staff

A great local pub with friendly service. As well as normal drinks and meals out we have used to celebrate a couple of occasions with a large group including lots of dogs. The team are really friendly and make sure everyone is well looked after. Food is consistently great quality and it has a good selection of drinks.

Was served by Nicole and she poured me a great guiness.

Best place in town - trust me I'm Italian

Nyx, jp, Hannah, jamie, Adam, finney, Luke, demi, nick. Greatest pub I've ever been too. Highly recommend new comers to come in

Every person who works here is pleasant and a true joy to be served by from front of house to back, been here many times from open mic night on Thursdays to just a quick one after work, even tho when I played bucker roo on me I forgive them. Lovely an true gods and goddess of hospitality, Dionysus would be proud him self.

OK local. Food is average. Good out door area.

Nice pub, lots of space inside and out. The food is decent, plenty of options. Love that you can order food and drinks from your phone, saves you from having to queue up the bar. Good stuff.

Amazing sauce in burger, lovely staff. Anytime I'm in Guildford I'm going to Drummond.

I don’t want to be too harsh although I did have a really poor experience my first time at the Drummond. I was recommended to go here by a friend, as I recently moved to Guildford and heard great things particularly about the food and I have to be fair, the food was really good standard and for the most part, the staff were really cool and welcoming. The reason to why I have given one star is really down to the quality of projector and the particular bad service from one individual who works there. We booked a table way in advance to watch the first england game and was really excited to be with our friends and celebrate the start of the tournament. For me personally, watching England is a really big deal to me, having played football and watched football my whole life. I politely went to the bar 10 minutes before the game to understand what was going on and asked the staff member, if this could be looked into and the reply I got was just extremely nonchalant. He said to me that ‘’ this has been an issue all day and we got people earlier in to fix it although unfortunately had no luck’’. He then mentioned ‘’that he is not an IT engineer and that if I was really desperate to watch the game, that I could go to a local pub called the stoke’’. To be fair to him, he probably has had multiple people ask him the same question but I think he needs to have more empathy and understanding that this is a pretty big event for certain individuals and even though the Drummond didn’t purposely do this, the end result stays the same, it did ruin my night in all honesty. I would also mention, if this was an issue from much earlier in the day, why didn’t anyone drop us a call or an email to say that this particular projector was causing real issues and that it may be better to go elsewhere? It wouldn’t have been that difficult and would have at least given us the opportunity to have time to look elsewhere! We ended up having to go home at half time due how bad the quality was. In a large group, there was no chance we could have got seats to watch the first England game at that time and would have completely ruined our experience even more. I would be happy to change my review, if the pub reached out to me and showed me better service than what was given. I don’t like giving pubs like The Drummond a bad review that clearly has great standards for the large part. Name: Elliot

Soft drink was quite pricey. The environment is nice.

Very picturesque restaurant/pub, with wooden floors and panels and large windows. The dishes are very varied and delicious. It has large tables and several screens to watch football. Very lively atmosphere and we found the staff charming.

Lacked time to do a proper review before, so an update. Staff are very friendly and nice selection of drinks. Food fine, but very overpriced on a good chunk of the menu, even compared to central London prices. I'd happily drink here again, but would find it hard to justify the food cost of eating.

Frequented the Drummond for years. Good reasonably priced food & beers. Always looked after by Craig & his team. 👍

Absolutely wonderful experience! We were served by Mark who’s been absolutely brilliant. I would happily book here again, every need has been catered to and cared for by, by all staff.

Excellent Sunday Roast - generous portion size and all the elements perfectly cooked. Serving staff well trained and efficient. More gravy provided on request. Great atmosphere.

We go there for afternoon out with friends . We have now made it our local .Food always lovely . Staff really pleasant . Atmosphere good . Only little complaint is pot of tea never hot enough. But Luke solved the problem by using the devise that heats up the milk . So tea was really hot , so thank you to Luke .

Luke was absolutely brilliant, could not be more helpful but his general manager should not be in any industry that has to deal with the public as he seems to lack any social interaction skills

Had our works Christmas do on Monday at the Drummond food was great friendly staff great atmosphere would definitely go back again.

Came here for work party and the team really went above and beyond looking after us! Ryan and Mark were great fun, fast service, good beer and excellent food from the chefs. Would recommend the Camembert sharer - absolutely delicious. Stunning beer garden too. Thank you and will definitely be back!

Visited The Drummond with work colleagues for a get-together. The service was good and so was the food. We enjoyed ourselves and had a lovely time. The beer garden is very pretty. Will definitely visit again!

I have been visiting this establishment for the last six years (most recently from 2018). But also from 2001 to 2004 - when I lived in Guildford previously. This is my Local, whether it is a day with the paper or Sunday Lunch. Easily, the best Pub Kitchen in town, the Service is impeccable and never disappoints. Please keep doing what you're doing!

Excellent Food, Drinks & Service
