The Lion Brewery in Guildford - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

The owner is a real gentleman. I broke down in his car park at 8.30am and he made me a cup of tea and a breakfast sandwich while I waited for a recovery. He has owned this pub for 40 years and is very friendly. Stop in for a chat or to see the amazing artwork in the beer garden out back.

Mike and Dawn very friendly staff

Great pub and good bands playing.

Met for a (private) function in the back room. Service from staff was very good. Didn't go into the main pub, so couldn't comment.

Landlord made us feel really welcome ☺

Popped in for a coke and I love the atmosphere here. It was also clean and tidy

This is a dying breed and what a find, a traditional British pub, fabulous food, drinks and service, with a brilliant atmosphere, if you want fine dining then stay clear, it's good holesome plentiful food, with excellent service, a pool table, music,sports and a landlord who takes no c@ap. We stayed in our motorhome in the car park, so didn't see rooms but met a group of 7 men who had stayed and go there every year, they said the rooms were basic but fantastic value for money and very clean. Absolutely loved it and so much so we stayed 2 nights, we NEVER do that, was great x The landlord is 84, been in this pub for 43 years and he couldn't do enough for you, what a gem and the locals are extremely welcoming. We will be back,

The owner Mike and his manageress Dawn are so lovely to deal with!

Stayed great for my sons family day at pirbright

Room tired, bathroom very tired. I had to clean the shower in the shared bathroom before using. Not enough loo roll and no bristles on loo brush. Room was clean and staff were friendly and helpful. I was late arriving but the barlady did still make me some food. Fried breakfast was great. Not bad for the money but probably won't be back due to the bathroom and number of bedrooms that share it.

An incredible place. An old fashioned pub that has music at its heart. The Lion is unique in this area and deserves support. Go buy a beer!

Not recommended! A pub with a grim feeling, booked a room, mould on the wall, unhealthy and low standards, refused to get a refund.

Good venue for live music. Drinks cheaper than most places in area.

Came to a party that was held in the back room . The welcome was poor by the bar staff . The room had seen better days , mould on the walls, barman constantly disappeared. Cash only in the bar of the room but card only In the main bar in the pub which sold beer on tap ! Jukebox was paid for upfront , which was a disaster ,no one seemed to know how it worked ! Numbers 1 and 4 didn't work , so we were limited on choice . Considering the free juke box cost £40 was a rip off . Advertised a free rental of the room but actually cost £50 for the barman that was hardly there , £50 for the cleaner, and then £40 for the dodgy jukebox that didn't work properly , it actually works out a very expensive hire for a dirty venue . I felt sorry for the person who was 75 who paid this amount of money. Its an absolute disgrace .

Came here for a gig a couple of times. Proper British pub with four rooms to let and a good selection of drinks

Rocking when bands are on ...bit quiet when not

Would give this 0 stars if I could. Room was riddled with mould and filth. Wood is rotting and room absolutely stank of cigarettes. They keep prisoners in better conditions than this. Beds were grim. Lay my own towel on top of the bed and slept on that with no cover as was all so horrible. Don’t think the TV remote has ever been cleaned

Brilliant old skool boozer, no frills just honest !

Stopped here for lunch , very quiet inside, 2 sausage, 2 bacon, 2 eggs, beans, 1 hashbrown, bit of fried slice, slice of toast, good brecco for £7. friendly service, please support small independent pubs to stop them disappearing.
