The Grantley Arms in Waverley

4 of us attended the cocktail masterclass last night hosted by the wonderful James. Not only did he teach us how to make some classic cocktails but he was very knowledgeable on how and why they were made which was really interesting. We then created our own cocktails which we all got to sample. We all left feeling very merry after a fantastic evening. Thank you James x

Loved the evening. The staff was amazing and very friendly. Jasmine really took care of us, I have 2 years old twins and she made sure that we had a comfortable and a very enjoyable evening. Must go place for a great family evening or a reunion. The food was amazing and jasmine made it better by making sure the kids needs were taken care of.

This really is a fab pub. We have eaten here several times after long local walks and it has never disappointed. The food is excellent and the staff charming. The log fire is a very welcoming sight. Would highly recommend.

Good food, good atmosphere and friendly staff. Value for money. You need to book early especially at the weekend and particularly on Sunday.

Although the pub was very busy , the service was really good . Excellent Sunday lunch , and all round good menu . Staff were friendly and attentive

The restaurant bit is quieter if you want to chat. There are a couple of veggie options, but both were really lovely.. Staff were attentive and friendly to we two old ladies...

Lovely Sunday lunch staff and service amazing, even brought us a free huge Yorkshire pudding as our baby couldn’t get enough of them, lovely ambiance definitely recommend

A warm welcome, delicious food and friendly service. We were a table of 8 but it appears there was a larger table ahead of us and this caused the service to be a bit slower than expected.

The team at The Grantley Arms were really wonderful. We made a relatively late booking for a Christmas event which posed challenges with the use of space and with timings - all the while the team were keen to help us bring the evening to fruition. They were friendly, flexible and festive - everything you could wish for!

This was a family celebration for my father’s 98th birthday. There were 40 of us including 3 very small children and one very large dog! We were extremely well looked after. The food had been preordered and it arrived on time and piping hot. Everyone remarked on how good it was, especially the cheese croquettes. The staff couldn’t have been more helpful. All in all an excellent experience. Thanks to all concerned!

We had a very convivial lunch with good food, drinks and attentive, efficient service. Our request, when we arrived, to change our indoor table (for 14) to an outdoor one was met with a smile and an immediate sorting of tables in the sheltered courtyard. The pub's team were welcoming and helpful. Who could ask for more?

Lekker druk met voldoende bediening om toch op tijd de gerechten te ontvangen. Heerlijk gegeten van een beperkte kaart.

We came here last minute for a birthday lunch for my brother. We were a party of 8, with one person in a wheelchair and with 2 dogs. The staff were incredible- when they couldn’t fit us into the main bar they accommodated us into a separate room so that we could enjoy our meal. They were very friendly and helpful, and the food was incredible. The lengths they went to in order to meet our needs was amazing- highly recommend! Thank you!

What a wonderful little pub! Delicious food, comfortable surroundings, great service, we would definitely come again!

A really tasty Sunday lunch. We both had different starters and mains, l chose the feta salad which was flavoursome and tasty, my wife had the pork roast which she said was very enjoyable. The service was excellent and we will definitely be back soon.

Lovely staff and great food. The fish and chips were delicious with very light crunchy batter. The pear tart tatin was amazing and fed four of us.

The food was incredible and really good value. The atmosphere was really lovely and very welcoming. The pub is really well laid out so that there is a restaurant area and a dog friendly area of the pub. We went for a birthday meal and were made to feel incredibly special. The staff went out of their way to make sure we had a really good experience. I would really recommend this pub and will certainly be going again.

3 of us had an evening meal which was excellent We just had main courses-Mussels and Clams in a lovely creamy sauce,Sausages and mash and Sea Bass. A couple of bottles of the house Italian Montepulchiano red which was very good. Very nice waiter and a lovely traditional English pub environment.

Sunday Lunch. Pub has a good beer selection and wine list and is a classic traditional pub venue. However the lunch itself was average. Roast meat portion size not great, cramped seating area, slowish service and had run out of horseradish sauce! However bar staff friendly and polite. Unfortunately did not live up to previous visits for some reason.

Had a lovely lunch with friends yesterday. Staff very attentive and polite and the bubble and squeak dish I had was really tastey.

We both had the fish and chips which was superb. Mine was gluten free but the batter was crispy and delicious. Our waitress Emma was amazing, courteous and efficient and added to the overall experience with her friendly demeanour. We will definitely be back and will recommend the pub to our friends.

A very busy lunchtime session on Tuesday 26th March with the additional spanner of a three day controlled gas leak to keep staff on their toes! No gas for cooking or heating.However, thanks to the well planned management to avoid closing the kitchen, a reduced but more than adequate menu was available to suit all appetites. Well done to the kitchen and front of house staff for swimming gracefully on the surface whilst paddling madly below to control a potential disaster. What can be produced using a gas barbecue, a domestic electric fryer or two and willpower is truly remarkable! Congratulations Team G.A! My fish in crispy batter sandwich was a triumph in the face of adversity and my three companions were equally delighted with their sandwiches and accompanying chips /soup. Thank you. 🥇

I thought the service was crap... Young & inexperienced I thought that food was bland and boring... got orders wrong as well... not great. Think will go to one of the other great local pubs for a bit...

We visited for Sunday dinner with two elderly relatives. What a lovely evening, the food was delicious and it was a really nice atmosphere. We were looked after by the staff. I had been looking forward to a roast dinner and it didn’t disappoint! Thank you

Our group of 17 was looked after extremely well in the private room. The service was very efficient and on time and the food was excellent. Jubilados

We were given a nice table by the window when we arrived. Good Sunday lunch and service. I think parking might be a bit of a problem.

The Grantley Arms had such a great atmosphere and lovely food. Ned was very attentive. We will of course definitely be back again!

Friends from Wiltshire came up for Sunday lunch. We had two roasts and the fish special. The roasts are always good. The fish was amazing. Service from Freya, Hazel and the boys was the usual very high standard. Thank you.

Normally the Grantley Arms is one of my top 10 places to visit, but not on this occasion, Myself, Mum and Dad decided to go there for lunch. We were shown to the back of the Main Restaurant and seated, Mum and Dad noticed it was rather cold but didn't want to make a fuss. We Don't normally have starters but on this occasion we did just to warm us up, Mum and Dad had the Soup, while I had the Scottish Mussels no complaints there and the service was outstanding. The problem started just before the Main Course a large party entered the back of the room and made so much noise you could hardly hear yourself think and to make matters worse the Main Courses weren't much better either, Mum had Wild Mushroom Cassoulet, while Dad and I had Cyder Battered Haddock and triple Cooked Chips. I asked Mum how was her Wild Mushroom Cassoulet hardly any Mushrooms in it, as for ours Dad seemed to enjoy it, I was less than impressed, it has seemed that the Battered Haddock had been left in the fryer way to long and the so-called Triple Cooked Chips were actually French Fries. With Starters one round of Drinks and Main Courses plus Service Charges it came to just over £100 pounds, since leaving I have had a bad tummy ache. My advice to the restaurant is stick with tradition Beer Battered Haddock is a safer option than Cyder. My Final Thought after this experience is the Grantley Arms is no longer in my Top 10 Places.

Disappointing. Had great expectations but they forgot about our order and were waiting over an hour for our food and when it came the portions were miserly

The roast lunches were served barely warm. The meal was flavourless and all brown and orange in colour. For £22.50 I expected better quality.

I relied on a friend’s recommendation when I booked a lunch buffet for gathering of local friends and family to celebrate the life of my late husband, and was not disappointed. I dealt with Jen initially for the booking and our requirements, and then with Warren on the day. Both bent over backwards to help make the occasion memorable and stress free, aided by their team….compliments all round! The function room was just right and the buffet delicious, with special dietary requirements well catered. And the bill was a pleasant suprise too!! Excellent value for money. I shall certainly call in for a drink when next in the area.

We had a family gathering for 15 in the Old Bakery room just off the restaurant . Both the food and service were excellent. The room had a lovely atmosphere and just what we were looking for. Highly recommend. A big thank you to all the staff involved.

The food, service and ambience were all two notches above standard pub fare - for a similar price - it was a great evening out

Our first time here (booking was easy online) The exterior is a good example of the old buildings in Wonersh and the interior has been refurbished by Youngs Pub but has kept it's local feel. The vast interior is cleverly split into various "rooms" We were welcomed by Will (given the choice of various tables) who took our drinks order straight away. Now to the food. My wife had the Hake Scampi with delicious hasselback potatoes, and I hade the fish and chips. The batter was extraordinary but the mushy peas were completely naff. All in all, we were pleased with the food and Will was the perfect host. This pub is on our shortlist now.

Our usual table booked and set. We chose from the light lunch menu. The Cumberland sausage sandwiches with a side of yummy chips were delicious and the battered haddock sandwich and chips was the freshest, best fish in the lightest, crispiest batter that I have devoured in a very long time. Thank you to the chef and the polite, friendly and attentive staff. Service was a little slow, particularly as the restaurant was extremely quiet but we weren’t in any rush so it didn’t detract from our enjoyment. 🤗 We shall look forward to visiting for our next lunch booking in March!

Great experience as usual with good food and great staff. However, if I had any requests, it's to stop the habit some pubs like this have, of giving sides of peas or ketchup or other items served in tiny miniscule pots, as if they are on ration.

As always, good food and wine list, very reliable, good service, friendly efficient staff, good atmosphere, and good value!!

We had heard great things about the Grantley but, frankly we were very disappointed. The food was OK but nothing special and the atmosphere was not conducive to meeting our friends. Despite a nearly empty restaurant we were seated right next to the door and...

Had a delicious Saturday late lunch at Grantley Arms. Beautiful place with open fire and ancient beams. Warm welcome and lovely hosts. Atmosphere was buzzy, family and dog friendly. Food was delicious. We had a wonderful time. Thanks. The bubble and squeak with the light...

Great night. Food was excellent. Burns night special. The Grantley is always top notch but Burns night was even better. Staff are amazing and the food !! Venison and Haggis was just the best.

I have always liked this pub and it has a very warm friendly bar and a lovely LOOKING restaurant. Sadly the food does not match the surroundings. I came here before Christmas and had the single worst plate of pasta I have ever eaten anywhere...

Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. It was Sunday lunchtime, and busy, but we had to wait almost an hour between our starters and our main course arriving. We wonder what would have happened if we hadn't ordered starters. Quality of food varied: the roast and...

I think the roast I had yesterday was the best I've ever had in a pub, and I'm pretty fussy. Delicious and perfectly cooked beef and potatoes. Great atmosphere too

The pub was bustling and full of character so expectations of a good meal were high. The restaurant was very pretty and the menu choice was reassuringly small but where were the customers? Surely a restaurant in such a bustling pub in a pretty Surrey...

Our family of 14, covering 3 generations booked for a New Year meet in the Private room at the Grantley Arms for Sunday Lunch. A repeat of a January 2023 visit. The venue is great, and the service was very good. However, the roast dinners...

Great service - Pippa a delight! Slightly limited menu these days but delicious meal and great ambience. Would recommend.

My husband and I along with 2 friends had the NYE / A a La Carte dinner in the Main Restaurant and it was superb! All three courses were thoroughly delicious, plentiful portion sizes (especially the Jacobs Ladder!) and pleasing to the eye. We were...

Christmas Day special menu. Food very disappointing. Staff very good. Nice pub but very out of their depth. Several meats as main course - too many. The vegetables were poor - limp “roast” parsnips and a mush of carrots and swede combined. All served up...

Had Christmas Day at the Grantley Arms , what a lovely day , all staff worked really hard , food was superb . Thank you for making our Christmas

Having been here many times I found the food was not up to the usual standard. We often go here for Sunday lunch and the roasts are normally amazing so that is why we chose it for Christmas Day. Obviously it was a busy time...

Super service and food- shame the candles were not lit a bit earlier as would have created better atmosphere- so dark inside I would have lit them by noon. By 4 pm it was looking very festive but we left then.

We visited Sunday 17th at 3.30pm, we had an excellent meal but what topped it off was the atmosphere and staff ALL staff were brilliant and engaging with my two young children, they had an art table for children to make things ( mine were...

Tasty food & friendly service - sea bass was delicious & afogato a tasty way to combing pud & coffee. All very happy

One of the Best Sunday Lunches we've Ever Had ! Food is Top Notch and Wonderful Staff !! Ish , ( Joyce from Happy Valley ) , and I CCant recommend enough . Just Go !!

No words, staff, food, atmosphere, company just excellent. Wouldn’t go anywhere else. Warren, Adam, Hazel, Freya, George, George and Josh absolutely great staff on a manic Sunday. Thank you again 🥰

A very friendly pub that treats all customers as valuable. unlike so many Surrey pubs that treat people who don't want a meal as a problem.

The staff were really accommodating and helpful. We were a group of 13 and they couldn’t have done more. Food was excellent and hot. We were all served together, which was a feat in itself.

Our usual table booked and set. We chose from the understandably reduced light lunch menu as we are now into festive menus. The Cumberland sausage sandwiches with a side of yummy chips were delicious and the staff accommodated a parsnip soup and chips that were...

There was a long wait for the food but it was worth the wait. We had two guests that were only eating vegetables and this was accommodated.

We went as a family for a mini reunion and The Grantley did not disappoint. The decor and ambience was warm and welcoming and our food was delicious. We were served by a delightful girl called Pippa who was very attentive and immediately mopped up...

My family and I spent a lovely Saturday evening at the Grantley - the food was delicious and came super quickly, the atmosphere was lovely and our waitress, Pippa, was so helpful and kind. Will be visiting again soon!

We booked the Grantley Arms for my Dad's 80th birthday party in their private area. It is tucked away in the corner of the pub and is a lovely welcoming space with beautiful high ceilings, wooden beams and a cosy atmosphere. Warren and his team...

We have been coming here for years, being our local, and while we are pleased that in its latest incarnation the Grantley Arms is popular, the increased numbers combined with cost cutting by the breweries is taking its toll. Late Sunday lunch. Pub is packed....

Been here many times now for eating and drinking as it’s one of our locals and have to say I’ve only had positive experiences here. Staff are friendly, atmosphere is cosy, clean and modern without feeling like a gastropub, the menu is nicely varied and...

We had the perfect evening, food is delicious and the staff are outstanding Felt very welcome and special Thank you for making our anniversary dinner special 😀

Delicious dinner! The Grantley always delivers...excellent quality food, with efficient and friendly service. The Specials Board always adds some new interest value, plus there was an additional BBQ option last night...an excellent Rawlings steak burger was sampled with delight! Some great new veggie options on the current menu...wonderful flavours were enjoyed in the pumpkin cassoulet, which was both tasty and generous. We are very fortunate to have this as our local pub!

Great food, best vegan burger I’ve had! Lovely atmosphere and friendly waiting staff. We would definitely recommend it.

Monkfish great and sirloin also fantastic. Staff were attentive and specifically the service from Pippa was excellent!

Great service and food in very pleasant surroundings. Lovely atmosphere with a log fire, cant wait to go back.

We were staying in the area and ended up eating at this pub three days in a row! The staff could not have been more accommodating, even on the Saturday night when we turned up as a group of 25 having not booked! We had the most lovely waitress, Freya who was so warm and helpful. Yesterday we came for Sunday lunch which was delicious and another brilliant waiter, Adam who was again so friendly and helpful. The food is absolutely delicious and there is a fantastic choice of wines. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back next time we are in the area.

What a fantastic visit! Thank you so much for providing the perfect venue for our family celebration in the old Bakery. From the warm welcome to the excellent service and delicious lunches…. All perfect- especially on such a wet and windy day too! All the staff were excellent but an extra special thanks to Adam- he was an absolute star looking after us .

We've been here quite a few times now and our recent visit (six of us and one dog) did not disappoint. Food was good and staff were excellent

Lovely ambience, great service and delicious food- we especially loved the fish dishes! Definitely worth a visit!

Friendly staff, good beer, interesting menu, good food, nice inside and out. Early Saturday lunchtime, not too crowded but clearly popular with the locals. We came on spec having walked from Guildford. Usefully, the bus leaves from directly outside.

Over the last year or so the portion sizes have become smaller and smaller to the point where where dining at the Grantley Arms is no longer even reasonable value. I touched on this with the person who brought my dessert to the table and he hit back with an almost rude defence. We doubt we will return to the Grantley Arms which is a pity because since Covid we have been regular diners bringing with us every visit at least two other friends.

My boyfriend and I ate here tonight, he had the burger and I had the skate wing special. I have never had skate wing that well cooked before and with the accompaniments it was just fantastic and amazing value. HUGE thank you to Matthew and also Jen, Stu and Warren. Always an amazing evening with great staff and atmosphere. Will be back very soon!

Excellent evening meal served by Maria and the team. Roast beef with all the trimmings and a great pudding.

Waited quite a while for our table, waited again for drinks order to be taken, wine choice not available wait again, table booked for 7.30 drinks came at 8, restaurant not very busy but 2 large tables but the young waitress was trying her best,...

I booked a table at the Grantley Arms to watch the England V Argentina Rugby World Cup clash on Saturday night withe two friends. We all had a great time, not least because England won with 14 men, but also because the 'SCRUMptious' Burgers were...

Love the Grantly but to day the Sunday lunch was poor , tasteless and very disappointing . The gravy was tasteless and bland and I had the pork and had about a tablespoon of meat . Never mentioned it because we where never asked !

Beautiful meal and excellent service, best in the area, great meal and ambience. I would highly recommend

What has happened to the Grantley Arms? It used to be buzzing and required booking a table weeks in advance. Saturday night and only 1 other table occupied!!!!! Service was a mix of polite and verging on rude as staff seemed to be in a...

Totally disappointed with the service, mediocre overpriced food & general decline of what was once a favorite

Hmmmm... This pub...such a lot going for it - location, facilities, space.... We came here tonight for dinner for four....we arrived and the place was nearly empty.... We walked past staff thru to the outside area but were not greeted by any of the staff...

Last 16 August we had a wonderful lunch and setting,, warm atmosphere.We were delighted with both the cuisine and fast and friendly service. Grantley Arms made it a very special occasion for us, and our friends from Canada, who we were getting together to after...

Had a wonderful dinner. Food, ambiance and service were top notch. Jasmine was especially wonderful and made us feel very welcome.🤪

Excellent service and excellent food, very impressed, we took my sister in law and we just loved it all, the waitress and staff could not have done more. Look forward to going back very soon. The prices were also very fair

A belated review . As a regular with my companion retriever Willow last Tuesday I dined with my wife and 2 friends and enjoyed an excellent meal. The chicken soy kebabs to die for! Monk fish / steak Haddock and chips superb .. hats off...

Stopped by this pub on a business day and had some lunch. I was greeted by Jen, who was absolutely wonderful. She recommended menu choices and I went with the chicken skewers which were phenomenal. The pomegranate was a welcome addition to the dish. I...

Nice food, big portions, probably too big. Menu choices a bit limited. Beer and wine range good and not too pricy. Service excellent.

Absolutely fantastic Sunday Roast dinner at the Grantley Arms! Delicious roast chicken and veggie (chick pea and cauliflower) burger. Fabulous cocoa nib cookie. Great spot, terrific staff!

Had a lovely Sunday lunch at this friendly pub last weekend. Maria our waitress was very attentive and helpful. Food was excellent so please pass on our positive feedback to the kitchen team. Very relaxing environment and pace of meal was just perfect, we were...

Very disappointing lunch. This place is our local go to for lunch. Unfortunately today, the gas was down (not their fault), so no fish & Chips, or chips or anything that goes into the frier. However, we went for 3 soups, only 1 available, it...

Excellent, and innovative, food and service - recommended. I eat her reasonably often and is reliably good. Nice welcome from the team.

The service was sooo slow and it really wasn’t busy . The food was good enough although my daughter had the steak and they couldn’t do a peppercorn sauce and the “ garnish “ on top of the steak was a huge dollop of salsa...

went there and had a nice lunch on the outside bit - wasn't too busy as it was a Tuesday It is close to my house, and I'm happy to go there

absolutely spectacular, the food was stunning apart from the topping on the burger i had which was a bit chewy (a beef topping). lovely staff, lovely meal.

Went for a few drinks with a friend at the Grantley Arms one Monday, good range of beers but the food was surprisingly below par. £22 for a ploughman’s sharer which was quite measly and another £5 for triple cooked chips which basically were nothing...

This GastroPub is outstanding. Lovely setting inside and outside. Great choices on the menu. We enjoyed our evening. The service was great.Highly recommended.
