The Duke of Wellington in Guildford

A beautiful proper old pub with great food, service and atmosphere. For a Monday night it was busy, most places are dead on a Monday, so something must be right. I brought a group of us here and the food was lovely and the service was great from all the team, especially Jaz. I’d come back more often if only it was closer to home and I’m not stuck in the hotel over the road. Recommended

Dropped in for a small bite after visiting Horsley Place. We shared a burger and chips which was absolutely scrumptious. Lovely, friendly staff who were very happy seating us with our dog. Some of the main meals looked amazing.. will be back!

Came down for a pint and some bits to eat and Jo was absolutely amazing. I had the best time and felt incredibly welcome!! Wings were so good!!

Amazing roast and service, everything fantastic, all team were very friendly, definitely we’ll back

Good breakfast with plenty of choice. A really good very friendly service. We had a long separate table as there was 10 of us. Easy to find, and would go back.

Back from holiday where the food was ‘hit and miss’, we were desperate for a good meal and knew where to get it……we were not disappointed. We shared halloumi fries to get our taste buds going and then enjoyed rump steak with chips and the duck with mash. We planned on having the mascarpone cheesecake from the specials board but will have to save that for next time as we were full and very happy. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal, the lovely warm atmosphere and the great service. Really pleased to see The Duke so busy, a reflection of things previously mentioned. We look forward to our next visit.

We regularly go the the Duke and love the atmosphere and staff - it is so well managed. However, what is the company’s strategy with regard to food? It just seems expensive - especially with a cost of living crisis going on.

I've been twice and both times the food has been memorable months after the visit. The location is a little odd but the interior is lovely, the staff are great and the food is outstanding

Went in for a Birthday Sunday Lunch. Absolutely lovely lunch in a beautiful location near the Surrey Hills. The Duke of Wellingtons team are superb , friendly welcoming and professional. Making the whole experience a joy , would really recommend you try this lovely country pub restaurant if you are walking/hiking or just out and about in this picturesque part of the countryside . A little birthday treat added to my desert and a number of the team wishing me a very happy birthday just added that bit extra to the service and the pride and good feeling they demonstrated throughout is worthy of this review. The food ( Roast beef plus all the trimmings ) was excellent . Great stuff!!!!

Amazing food. Had starters main course and desert. Great staff. Stunning setting. Thank you for a great afternoon.

We love it here. Fantastic food lovely setting and wonderful service. One of party said it was the best pub food ever. Highly recommended.

HAVE USED PUB FOR YEARS GOOD FOOD AND STAFF VERY VERY GOOD I LIKE THE WHOLE SET UP AND FAIR PRICE ITS TEN OUT OF TE,N FROM ME THANK YOU . will go back

My husband and I, with another couple, came here for Sunday lunch. It was very busy but staff nonetheless took the time to be friendly and helpful to us throughout, despite clearly being rushed off their feet! There was a good choice of both roasts and other mains; we all went for roast, having beef, pork and the chicken roast of the day between us. These were all excellent and generous portion sizes to say the least; we also shared cauliflower cheese (ok) and stuffing (superb) between us. Vegetables were cabbage and roasted carrots and parsnips, all beautifully cooked. We were already fairly full but the choice of desserts was too tempting! Apple crumble turned out to be the poorest choice of the desserts we had, with the ratio of crumble to custard being much too heavily weighted towards the crumble. The pear tarte tatin was very good, however, and the blackberry trifle was delicious! Overall, an excellent lunch. We will be back!

The best evening ! The most attentive staff , incredible food , drinks were to die for . Honestly the best dining experience i have had in a long time . Beautiful location , excellent atmosphere. Thank you so much to all the staff for such a brilliant evening , would return in a hard beat ! xx

Great service. Claire was fantastic as were all the staff. We didn't want for anything. Great good, fab service, what a place!

In a word…superb! We popped in for lunch today undecided if we wanted a light or full lunch. Having been presented with the new autumn menu by charming Victoria we decided on 2 courses each! I had the pork terrine with piccalilli, my husband the...

Fantastic restaurant! We were staying at the De Vere Horsely Estate, but their food options did not seem good, so we stopped in this nearby pub. Everything was fantastic. One member of our party enjoyed the best veggie burger they had ever had and I...

Mentioned I needed to get some work done on a laptop and was immediately shown to a booth with a very convenient outlet. It was early enough in the evening for the pub to still be fairly quiet so my latte and the following double...

This is a well keep,clean pub/restaurant with a good selection of drinks, sadly bar atmosphere was tainted by foul languaged group of customers. (Not the venues fault) The staff where polite and welcoming , and aware of there brand and menu. We made our food...

Cannot believe how a restaurant can serve up such rubbish food. We had rump steak which was a tough as old boots, we had to wait over an hour for the main course once finished this we had to wait a further hour for dessert...

We visited for a bank holiday monday dinner and had a great meal. Hadnt booked but it wasnt a problem and we were seated straight away. Especially enjoyed the halloumi fries. Food was a little slow to arrive but we werent in any hurry so...

There were horrendous delays with food orders and lack of staff. Should have been alerted when orders placed. However manager Joe was outstanding in customer service , turned our opinions around and salvaged the evening with politeness, good humour and fairness! Would return .

Food was good, service was efficient, drinks were a bit expensive. A pleasant atmosphere but we dined early and there were several children, especially younger ones. Overall it was on the expensive side but that could be due to the area we were in.

We have been to the Duke of Wellington before and had enjoyable experiences. It’s set in a nice location, parking is relatively easy and the pub itself has real character combined with a rustic charm. We’ve always found the staff friendly and professional and this...

had a great time eating delicious food at your restaurant. The waiter Brad and the rest of the team were committed to great service and were very friendly and went above and beyond . Most importantly, every food and drink on your menu tasted great!

I came here twice once with colleagues once on my own I like it. Nice decor quick friendly service. I just found the menu a bit limited. I fancied a salad but there is only one and 3 strange but nice sandwiches. But it's nice

Excellent service and very good food. Booked via the web, and that worked well: we sat on the terrace which was very pleasant. Shout out to Alanna, our excellent waitress.

This pub hits the spot from the word go! Clearly very popular, it has a welcoming experience for one and all. We were in a party of ten and tables had been put together for our party, making it cosy and friendly. To facilitate service,...

I came for lunch with my friend and we had the best afternoon! The team where incredibly welcoming and made us feel well looked after. Brad was our server and was super attentive throughout, making sure we have everything we needed. The food was AMAMZING...

The three of us visited on Saturday and were impressed by the quick, friendly and attentive service. Food was also excellent- not the biggest portions, but what was provided was of very good quality. Pleasant location inside the garden despite the pub being near a...

A busy but friendly pub within walking distance from the De Vere Hotel. Only popped in for a drink but was very happy with the service and choice if drinks. Would definately consider eating there as food looked really good.

What a fantastic, friendly pub which has a lovely, homely (you’re out in the country) feel. Booked Horsley Estate for our anniversary with the plan to travel into London but needed to change plans due to rail strikes and so glad we did. The staff...

An amazing pub. Delicious food and very efficient and friendly service. The staff were very attentive but not intrusive. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Great atmosphere and beautiful decor. There is also a very pretty garden for warmer evenings. Had a very lovely...

We could not fault the staff who were all polite, helpful and friendly. However some of the food was a big let down . The cheese soufflé was a stodgy pancake texture smothered in gelatinous cheese sauce and was cold . Two of the party...

The "Duke" continues to perform with exceptional service, created by a friendly welcome at all times by Joe and his team who are a credit toThe Peach brand. The bar area is a buzz of many regulars and those selecting the comfortable seating areas for...

Terrible grumpy service. An imaginative blend of over- and under-cooked food all on the same plate. Also an exciting lottery, with meals being delivered to the wrong tables.

We ate lunch here today and waiting staff were great but the food was cold. We won’t be returning which is a shame as the food was so good last time.

Lunch at the Duke of Wellington today was a very pleasant experience. Friendly service, good food, nice atmosphere. Many thanks to all.

A real gem. Good selection of interesting food, good veggie options. Must make particular mention of the cheeseboard - a really interesting selection of English cheeses - served correctly ie at room temperature. Lovely staff who were unfazed by us turning up with an extra...

We are fortunate to have a good pub almost on our doorstep. The "Peach" takeover improved it immensely. Having said that, I offer the following comment. We booked for a Mother's Day lunch weeks ago, requesting a restaurant (as opposed to a bar) table. On...

Jasmina,handled the situation on Friday evening very professionally..well done young lady and I thank you ....Well done..

After a bad experience at another local restaurant forced us to leave before eating we arrived without a booking on a busy Saturday night. We told the hosts our sob story and they immediately found us a make shift table by the fire place. After...

Booked for a date night with my wife and had a fantastic time! From the moment we entered the place were made welcome. The food was excellent as was the service. Our waitress was Holly who we found thoroughly charming and efficient lovely to see...

Not the best. Bar was busy when we got in which was a good sign. My drink never arrived so I asked after an hour if it was coming, it came & they did refund it which was nice but I shouldn't of had to...

We were on our way home from Guildford on the old Road and popped in for Sunday lunch Its a lovely old pub and we try and pop in when we get a chance On this occasion we had sunday lunch The open fire was...

We truly enjoyed Saturday lunch with friends. Menu was inventive and offered few items totally different to what you usually expect from pub lunch. Lamb with butter beans was cooked to perfection. Selection of puddings was great too. It was nice to see place being...

We had a lovely family get together yesterday- the staff were so friendly and made our visit absolutely perfect. Our meals were delicious and we weren’t rushed- we’d highly recommend this pub and look forward to a return visit.

It was our visit to this Pub.Beautiful building ,nice decorated ,very comfortable chairs .Was lovely to see my favorite bitter (London Pride) I've choosing a rump steak for medium rare.It was the best ramp steak ,which I've ever had.My partner got to order a fish...

We haven't been for a while but really enjoy this venue. The menu is varied and interesting with a topical twist. Seating is comfy and atmosphere is good. Tonight, the food was excellent although one main was not warm enough so sent back. A very...

Even at 4pm, this is a very busy restaurant for Sunday lunch. Which implies it is extremely good. The staff are welcoming, friendly and very helpful. The roast beef was delicious, beautifully cooked with extra vegetables and gravy readily available. It would be nice for...

We visited today for a meal for six of us (three adults and three children) and it was our first visit here. I knew it was going to be busy with it being a Sunday and we could only get a table at 4pm so...

On Saturday we were once again well looked after especially by Holly who even though on 10 to 10 was very attentive and cheered us up. Great atmosphere with no screaming kids. I am still dreaming about the size of my fish!! My Vegan wife...

Our order included 2 kids burgers at £7.50 each. No problem with that, but my burger was effectively the same with one small extra beef patty for which I was charged £16! The chips in all 3 meals were very obviously McCain’s skinny oven fries...

I was really impressed with everything about this pub. The staff were absolutely wonderful. So friendly and accommodating. It was my mums birthday and I had my 11 month old son and our 3 dogs. The food was great, especially the pie! Inside the pub...

Not overly impressed with the service or the food. Took quite a while for the order to be taken and then well over half an hour (after a request to a staff member) for the food to arrive! I had specifically requested that no Parmesan...

Went here with my boyfriend and it was amazing. The staff are super friendly and helpful especially Ethan who arranged for us to return the next day for Sunday lunch. The food was fantastic. Really delicious and the atmosphere was fabulous- what a team! Will...

I’d heard good things about this pub , even did a visit before to check it out Very pretty pub and extremely welcoming friendly staff, we had a table for 10 which was great as it was almost in a separate area The menu looked...

I have mobility problems and use a wheeled walker. I booked online asking for an easily accessible table. No obvious disabled parking but we stopped outside the entrance so I could get out with my walker. A member of staff came out to help -...

We've eaten here a couple of times and had really delicious food. The staff are very friendly and work incredibly hard

Celebrated our son-in-law’s birthday on Saturday at this lovely pub. We were welcomed by very friendly staff and shown to our table where we all enjoyed a variety of dishes. I chose the sea bream from the specials menu which was really delicious, followed by...

Absolutely fantastic meal for 4 people on Saturday night for my Husband's birthday, the service is outstanding and the food is plentiful and of very high quality. Made to feel very welcome and the atmosphere is great. Will definately be visiting again in the near...

Table wasn't ready on arrival which we understood with it being a busy Sunday. On line it said this pub was dog friendly but we were told once seated that dogs weren't allowed. We waiting 2hours for a standard roast dinner with people who had...

Came here after a long walk and were made yo feel really welcome. The delightful young woman serving us warned us some items were off the menu following a very busy bank holiday weekend but there was still plenty of choice. Very good to see...

We stayed at the De Vere hotel 100 yards down road but spent more time at this lovely establishment. It is a busy place but staff were so engaging and thoroughly engaging and professional. All the food was superb and we were served by Grace...

Booked dinner here as was staying in a hotel just down the road. Don't usually leave reviews for anywhere but really wanted to about this place! The food was delicious (we had the rump steak and chicken schnitzel), great sized portions and extremely tasty. The...

This gastro pub came highly recommended to me. Booked a table for a family birthday. It was a Tuesday evening so fairly quiet, also very hot so some diners outside. The team looked after us very well. Not all foods available but still a good...

Popped in for a sandwich at lunchtime with my wife. Only two sandwich options, one of which was cheese. I asked for this and was told by the bar server that they may have run out. She was contradicted by another server who said she...

What a great meal absolutely excellent. that's why after the first time had to go again and will be going a lot more. Staff friendly and attentive. Nothing seems to much trouble.

Friendly and very helpful staff, made sure we had everything we needed. Brilliant food and great bar. Smart yet comfortable inside. Nice garden and terrace. I would recommend ordering Jimmy Butler’s Pork Chops! A must if you are ever in Horsley!

Repeat visit on a beautiful day for lunch. Excellent welcome again and service for a light meal, A location of unusual architecture too made the visit stand out. Parking very easy indeed in a large former stables yard. Whilst clean, investment in an update to...

On Saturday 30 July, by chance we called into the Duke of Wellington for the first time and right from the welcome from Joe when he said "wherever you sit we will look after you and Vegan is no problem" until he insisted before we...

Rather than paying over the odds for terrible over priced food at the De Vere Horsley round the corner we walked here. The staff and food were excellant with generous portions in nice surroundings. Will certainly visit again.

Sunday lunch with friends. Good service, large portions but not the best Sunday roast I’ve had recently. The pork duck starter was a bit under seasoned and the pork main was ok but not as special as I was hoping. Good value for money.

My Partner Melanie and myself stopped by for Lunch around 1.30 pm on Monday 11 July. We sat on table 1. I had Fish and chips Melanie had The sourdough cheese meal. Mel had a couple of glasses of wine and I a non alcoholic...

This is a lovely heritage-type of pub with everything clean. I was part of a group of eight and we ordered our lunch a few days in advance. I'll recommend the pork belly as a main course. Everything was as planned and everything was delicious....

Great food and service for our large group. Lots of choice on menu. Food arrived promptly and was really tasty. Great choice of drinks too!

Friends suggested meeting at The Duke of Wellington as it was a midway point. I am not a great fan of pub food so wasnt looking forward to having a pub lunch.After battling through the Central London road works, diversions and traffuc hold ups, we...

Lovely pub and cracking food. Great service from all of the staff. We were a party of four and we all had something different and were all as equally impressed.

If you want great tasty pub food. Look no further. The service is superb too. We had asparagus smoked salmon and poached egg starter, delicious, presentation was lovely, then went into having 14 hour braised beef in ale pie, this was the best pie I...

We popped in for food whist staying locally and we were very impressed with everything The garden is beautiful food is great and the staff were really friendly and helpful with my food allergies

Great place, great wine. Team lovely. Thank you for a lovely lunch today. We will be back soon- Duck Scrumpet was a fab!!!

I hate having to leave less than glowing reviews, but I also like to be honest when things do not go as one might hope. We ate there last night and despite ordering simple food that included their soup of the day, some bread, a...

As soon as you enter, there is an atmosphere of a busy but well controlled organisation. GM Sian and AGM Joe ensured we were looked after us so well, and the food was excellent. We also particularly liked table 50 in the Snug. Staff are...

Excellent choice of beer and food Lunch menu changes at 17:00, although not by much Great outside next to car park, don’t think it is only at the front of the pub. Very welcoming staff.

staff are rude and don’t except the ingredients are not what they say on the menu. Frozen fish and chips awful, burnt cheese sandwich, Roast pork roll served with chutney bizarre. Then to add insult to injury the staff are rude and try to defend...

We had a very warm from all the staff and then efficient prompt service. We chose warm camembert and then coq au Riesling. Both were delicious. The pub was busy and there was a warm ambience. Many thanks to Peach and pub team

The third time we have visited what will become our local. Greeted by always smiling staff genuinely happy to see you and look after you. Food is not run of the mill great flavour combinations and the home made soups are outstanding! A great location...

Really lovely lunch today here, the food was gorgeous, service really good, the Manager and his team are always so friendly and accommodating, with a great sense of humour too. The food was totally delicious, and the drinks perfect, great selection. Fabulous for a quick...

I have been to this pub many times for Sunday lunch with my family but this was the first time my visit was during the week and in the evening. We were there to celebrate my wife’s birthday we booked in advance and I informed...

Delicious food, served by happy smiling staff, efficient booking online, reasonably priced….really excellent pub/restaurant that we shall visit again when we are in the area.

the food was first class, service was fantastic and would highly recommend to anyone to eat here. ensure you book as gets very busy

Sunday lunch menu is quite limited if you don't want a roast. For £20 the roast of the day was pretty average and came with cabbage and carrots. Cauliflower cheese and stuffing were an extra cost. I would expect stuffing to be included at least....

The best Sunday Roast we have had !! Very impressed with the menu and quality of food served Staff were attentive and service was excellent we will definitely be returning

Went in to the pub for a couple drinks after work and was initially confronted by a man on the phone behind the bar being very loud with shouting into his AirPods. Banging around a pair of frying pans. Then was served by a lovely...

We've always enjoyed eating at 'The Duke', and this time was no exception. Friendly, efficient service and tasty, well presented food. I had the mackerel pate followed by Steak Diane medallions, which were excellent and others in our party expressed delight with their tempura prawn...

Visited with three diners. Took main course and desserts , came to just in £100. Two took roast beef main with trimmings. Our other party member being veggie chose nut roast. Desserts were standard fare, chocolate pudding with crème fresh. Plenty of space for social...

As part of a large group, my comments relate only to my menu choices: The camembert starter and the cheese conclusion were excellent and worthy of a 4* review. However, my turkey main was bland in flavour, thinly machine sliced and accompanied by a miniscule...

Visited this pub yesterday with a friend for lunch. This is my second visit and on both occasions was very warmly greeted the moment we stepped in. Staff are very friendly and attentive. Lovely selection of dishes both on regular menu and also on specials...

Really friendly team and tasty food. Went for an organised dog walk in the morning (delicious bacon sandwiches before setting off was a great touch) and we had booked a table for lunch on our return. Ordered drinks via the app but ordered food inside...

Great Sunday lunch - fabulous service from staff especially Joe always so attentive. Great food, great staff, great atmosphere - couldn’t ask for anything more.
