The New Inn in Guildford

Friendly staff, they make dogs welcome and provide good service with the food and drinks.

We booked the New Inn for a funeral wake. Mark and his team did a fantastic job from meeting to discuss our wishes, to setting up the area beforehand with them and accommodating us in the perfect Mousehole area of the pub. The food was plentiful and excellent and the staff were so friendly , unobtrusive yet attentive and always at hand when we needed them. We couldn’t have picked a better venue for a celebration of our Mums long life. Thank you so much. Rose and family

Excellent pub, canal side frontage. Sirloin steak was lovely.

We visit here on our boat food and drink good friendly staff

We hadn’t been to this pub for over 25 years so didn’t know what to expect. It definitely didn’t disappoint. The staff were lovely, the food was delicious and the service was quick. We will be back!

Fantastic all round, great food.

Very nice had the burger and chips, well cooked and tasty

Another pleasant evening with friends. I drank draft Heineken 0-0, others Tea bitter and Inch’s cider The food was lovely as it is on every visit; today I had a steak and ale pie with steamed veg = lovely.

Truly fabulous location. It's probably one of the best locations around in fact. They have a small yet perfectly sized garden area adjacent and joined onto the river so is accessible by boat or from the river tow pass which is handy for those summer bike riders. It really is beautiful and on a nice day, you will easily forget about any dentist appointments, tax returns and unconditional love as you inhale serene surroundings and subtle sounds of the river and its inhabitants. They hold music events with sounds ranging from classic cover bands right up to DJs playing ibiza sounds so definitely worth a look if your a glowstick guy or gal. The New Inn has a huge variety of food on the menu and is reasonably priced. It's not a modern place but has a modern feel. It's not fancy and you feel at home as you enter regardless. Staff are lovely and I can't wait to return. I'll be surprised if this place is not already or soon to be on a best pub list somewhere and quite near the top. I will keep going and report back soon. Scampi and chips was as expected. The food is not why I would return but is perfectly edible and I have no complaints.

Perfect pitstop on your walk by the river Wye. We had a couple of drinks and shared the Greek cobb salad which was ok.

Friendly pub, nice atmosphere with excellent food. Situated by the Wey Navigation. Excellent staff, too.

I love this pub by the river. We decided to go there after a day in Guildford and it was lovely

We accessed the river by the pub to paddle board on a beautiful Sunday afternoon. Afterwards we had lunch in the sunny beer garden. Even though it was busy we got served straight away at the bar, the staff couldn’t have been nicer. The portions are very generous. The boys loved their burgers snd the scampi was yummy too. We will definitely go back.

Friendly pub, lovely staff, great location. Highly recommended

Excellent food, nice pub in the village "Send"

Just lovely to sit beside the Wey and have a nice meal. Boats and canoeists mooring up.Nice touches like dispensers of cold water and lemon to help yourself.

Great pub lovely staff good food real ales 👍

The most friendly welcome in a pub anywhere. Thoroughly recommend the exceptionally well prepared Quiz night, first Wednesday of the month.

Outside seating by the Navigation when it's dry is a great spot, while inside has a lovely and traditional atmosphere. Can't go wrong here, and you can enjoy a nice walk along one of the best bits of the Wey as well.

Order at the bar. Good food and drinks.

Great food at reasonable prices, good selection of beers and a lovely outside garden by the river.

Great little place by the river

Was passing by on a drive and decided to stop. Had the Kiev which was a HEARTY portion but delish from the first to the last forkful- indoor and outdoor seating and plenty of space for bigger tables.

Stopped here a few times now whilst working in the area. My job takes me all over the South &, I like to stop for a coffee in each area to break up the day. I can safely say, the coffee at The New Inn is the best! Also the most reasonably priced & you get two biscuits!! Staff attentive & efficient. Venue very clean, cosy & comfortable. Definitely returning for a coffee break soon.

Lovely spot next to the canal popped in for a pint just right in the sun 🌞

Great location and helpful staff

Great riverside pub serving all the classics. Portions are massive and a smaller lunch menu with some sandwiches might be a good idea.

Affordable night out and great food.

Lovely canal side pub good food real ales and wine.

First time visit only had a beer but was a very nice pub.... looking forward to in the summer

Never have I seen a more unappealing and dispiriting sign/frontage, extremely dated early 2000s clip-art that was thankfully not visible from my initial approach down the Wey. Get a traditional pub sign painted for the love of God. Service friendly and great location. The ploughman's was ropey, but the branding remains their worst offence.

Super dog friendly.Manageress was lovely...food normal pub prices and quality

The restaurant seating area is at the back of the pub and is in quite a small area. The menu is quite interesting and focussed more on roasts. Typical for a pub. We all had roasts of various combinations and the emphasis was more on quantity than quality. The portions served were generous but for the Trio of Roast the plate that arrived was enough for two people. It was just too much. I imagine a lot of food is wasted. The only other negative was the noise from other diners, the floor is slate and as mentioned above space is at a premium. we probably had to speak loudly to be heard by our friends which contributed to the noise. Can't win. As a conclusion would we eat there again, probably not; but for a canal side summer drink probably yes. Focusing on quality and not quantity will get you more favourable reviews.

We've lived in the area for years but never been to this pub until recently. It was a sunny (but not too warm) day so was nice to sit outside. The food is delicious and not too pricey. The atmosphere inside is nice and the service friendly. Add to that, it's on the river and we went for a walk afterwards, is all bonus points. We will be back again.

Always pop in here on way back from London,absolutely beautiful place, right by river, exceptionally clean, food beautiful, and lovely feeling to the pub

Amazing lunch with my family, cosy atmosphere and delicious food. I really appreciate the dogs hospitality and the attention to details❤️

Lovely pub - 2 families, 4 young children and a dog - walked there across the fields and ate outside. It is also on the road if you want to drive but backs onto the canal. Good for a chilled weekend family meal.

Lovely place. Amazing staff Thank you

Was very happy with food and service, was there with family for Easter Sunday lunch, was 13 of us plus one high chair and could not float them, I give them 9 out of 10 and the only reason it's not 10 out of 10 is because we are a family that like thinker gravy lol would definitely book there again 😀

Lovely food , very helpful staff

Food very good, shame no Duck. Staff fantastic, couldn't have been more friendly or polite. Defo going back again. Made to feel super welcome.

First visit for many years and we were very impressed. Food and service was excellent.

A lovely menu with specials that change regularly. Beer is excellent and a good choice of ales. The staff are lovely, very attentive without being overbearing. I would recommend The New Inn but, book a table to avoid disappointment.

Turned up later one lunch time made to feel very welcome had lunch and pint very good price and food was amazing

Nice enough staff, but more interested in their friends than checking their customer needs. It's a recurring theme. It's all about sales and revenue to protect the business. They didn't value our custom,so we won't be back.

We visited The New Inn yesterday for a post Christmas get together with our family of 15 as we hadn’t been altogether at Christmas. This is included 8 children. Having read positive reviews we requested seating in The Mousehole and were given exclusive use. The whole experience was first class. Everyone was delighted with their meals which arrived swiftly, well-presented, hot and tasty! Everyone said they could have chosen many of the options available. Finally, all the young staff were extremely helpful and pleasant throughout. We will definitely be back!

Following a walk down the Wey Navigation our family party arrived rather late for our booked table. It didn't cause an issue. The staff were friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the service excellent. I can certainly recommend this pub but would suggest booking and the car park is small so arrive early.

I went to The New Inn for a family reunion during Twixmas, with some members of the family travelling down from the north-west of England. Unfortunately, traffic/weather problems meant they couldn't make the allocated time of 2.30, despite setting off ultra-early, but although it was the last slot of the lunch sittings, the landlady and kitchen crew were very accommodating, delaying bringing out our food by half an hour, which worked out just right. This is a big deal when staff are working split shifts, so thank you very much to them all. The food was also excellent and very good value. I hadn't been to The New Inn before but I'll definitely be going back!

My partner and I popped in about 7pm for a drink on Tuesday evening as we were passing through. We were told that we couldn't stay very long as it was bingo night starting at 9pm and the tables were booked from 7pm as people have a meal first. Not the friendliest of places, although the staff were pleasant.

We visit 2 or 3 times a year and travel hour or so to meet with friends. Lovely place. Cold walk along the canal before lunch. Warm welcome. Hot food

The staff were very friendly and accommodating and observant , we liked the games as well ,my friends abs I had a game of scrabble While we were waiting for our meals ,service excellent and The food very tasty .

Amazing place and I absolutely LOVE their banana blossom and chips (a vegan version of fish and chips). Nice to sit by the canal as well during summer and very accommodating for dogs.

Very nice atmosphere, kind personnel, good food and very generous portions. I'll be back!

Wow wow wow what a diamond find in Dorking, off the main road and what a pub. Compact pub with a great atmosphere, pool table, good beer and amazing owners. A really good place to have a few beers prior to watching some local footy. Not sure if they serve any food hence o couldn't score it. But what I can say I will defo be returning. Thanks for being so welcoming and serving an amazing pint of Shere Drop.

Good food great service. Will be back

Has been refurbished, but does not now serve snack food such sandwiches. Just a fairly expensive main meal options. Update, had a very nice evening meal the other night. Good service and beers.

I brought a group of 19 walkers in on our Wey Navigation walk, having pre-booked the Mousehole area. Sunday lunch was efficient and friendly and hearty. The feedback from my group was very good.

Sunday roast, lucky with weather at end of October, and so we were able to sit outside. Else you'd have to book for an inside table. Great roasts, we had lamb, and chicken.

Ridiculous! After an hour of waiting for food we asked one of the staff how much longer that would be. He went to check with kitchen. The lady who took our order arrived to say that the order didn’t get to the kitchen! She asked if we want refund or would like to get our food but actually half of the food we asked for weren’t already available. We were starting and very upset, decided to get refund and leave. It took me less then half an hour to cook at home. What a waste of our time, I won’t be coming back there.

Lovely place to have lunch or dinner

The staff were fantastic, first and foremost. Plus a great atmosphere and huge meals at a good price, what's not to love about this place!

Beautiful location on River Wet. Bit pricey but paying for the view. Pm

Lovely relaxing atmosphere - next to the river

Meu pub preferido ! Tudo maravilhoso comida , bebidas ,ambiente e a vista para o lago sensacional !!

Lovely food 😋 and service, would go again

One of our locals, we frequent here regularly. Super dog friendly, my dogs enjoy coming here more than i do, i have to drag them home after a visit! Lovely little beer garden area overlooking the River Wey navigations. Great stop off for ramblers, kayakers, paddle boarders, canal boat holidayers etc along the way. Food is proper pub-grub, lots of it, satisfying and reasonably priced. Recommend the jacket potatoes (with chilli), scampi and chips, and the Sunday roast.

Really nice lunch, friendly service and reasonable prices

Went here as visiting the area lovely staff and great environment. Had halloumi fries they were one of the best I have tried. Reasonable prices and okay choices of beers, the toilets are bit cramped and tight. Worth a visit if your in the area great views of canals etc

Had a wonderful lunch, the food is delicious, have never had a bad meal at The New Inn. The man who served us was polite and friendly, food was delivered quickly. Lovely couple of hours sitting by the river on a beautiful day.

Brilliant all round. Staff friendly food amazing

I like this place either in the beer garden or inside.

Nice friendly canal side pub serving traditional pub food. The pub is also dog friendly in the garden area with drinking bowls and free dog treats.

Good outdoor seating beside the Wey Navigation canal, and indoors too of course. Dogs welcomed. Friendly warm atmosphere and good service. Recommended!

Lovely location alongside the River Wey...

Yesterday I hired a space at the pub called The Mousehole for my baby shower. It was such a lovely afternoon, the staff were so friendly and attentive, checking in on us, asking if we need help setting up, nothing was too much, considering it was a Sunday lunch time too. I was also allowed to add my own decor to the room, and bring my own cake! We had a buffet and the food that came in it was amazing, so much choice and delicious! I got to choose beforehand what I would like and they were also open to suggestions too. Thank you so much again!

Nice pub. Posh looking menu but really disappointing food. Had a tasteless lasagne. Another dish was a jacket potato. Dry and ordinary. Other places do much better.

Great pub ,good selection of beers and wine and food 👌

I think the pub it is in a very good location, just next to a canal so you can have a lovely walk before lunch if u want and has plenty of outside space. Service was excellent, very nice staff at the bar. I would say the food was ok, looks good in the reviews pictures, but could do with lots of improvements, vegetables overcooked and well in advance prepared. Not at all that nice crispy feeling on potatoes...

Been meaning to visit The New Inn for a long time and the perfect opportunity arose today for a walk followed by a pub lunch. Plenty of tables outside with some undercover which was reassuring given the changeable weather. Lovely views of the Wey Navigation from all outside tables. The food was excellent with rave reviews for the ploughman's and ceaser salad in particular. Good quality and really generous portions. The house Rosé was very nice at £23/bottle. Will definitely use again. Only one very minor gripe was that the mustard for the outside tables looked like it had spent just a little too long outside in the sun. Perhaps could do with a freshen up. But overall excellent and highly recommended 👍😁

We had a lovely lunch two couples and our two dogs. The garden is by the canal which is a lovely place to watch the world go by. The food is excellent - well cooked traditional pub grub. The staff are friendly and efficient with prompt service of both food and drinks.

Lovely location on the river. Had a table outside. Dog friendly pub. We chose the ploughmans. Cheese which came with a Duck and pork sausage roll. Sorry to say but the sausage roll spoilt it. It was not nice at all, very fatty and disgusting. Also pricey at £17 Rest of ploughmans was lovely. Where are all the Surrey pubs serving a good old favourite cheese and ham ploughmans gone?? My son had a steak and he said it was cooked beautifully.

The food was excellent, one of the best burgers I've eaten. The whole table enjoyed their meals and everything was reasonably priced for the portion sizes.

Lovely waterside pub with nice garden and outside serving area.

Great place to eat on the river Wey navigation. We collected our family there to spend the day with us on the narrowboat.

We were served with food of high quality in this pub. Particularly the Steak Tagliata was amazing. Could have been a five star rating if not cleanliness - of a pile of ten plates brought to us for individual use, two were found to have the salad sauce remains (one of the photos). Less than desirable.

Decided on this venue after reading The reviews. Pub menu was quite good although the meal was expensive for a very average Sunday roast. Every table Had a bud vase on it with two dead roses in each. Shame nice decor location etc

Visited several times food is always excellent and the ale is well kept good value for money with excellent Landlady and staff

Just popped in for a drink whilst enjoying a walk. Bar staff polite and dealt with us quickly. Will pop on again on another walk.

After being recommended by a friend I took the time to check on here the facilities for disabled customers and was pleased to see there were disabled access and toilets. However upon arriving found no accessible toilets or ramp on entrance. Having driven 20 miles to visit the new Inn I was very disappointed as I had planned to eat here but with no use of access to toilet with my wheelchair I had to leave after one drink

We go here quite often for a drink in the garden but hadn't eaten here for ages. Went yesterday and had a mixed grill and a ploughman's. The food was lovely and huge portions, really good value. The service was great and very attentive. Would definitely go back for lunch again, great experience.

The best thing about this place is the service. They are welcoming and attentive and they don't even make a service charge. Perhaps they know that if they look after you, you will give them a tip. Other establishments, please copy! The real ale range is OK but not exciting. Hogsback TEA, Doom Bar, St. Austell Tribute and Adnams Ghost Ship. The Adnams is the star for me, but it's a shame they don't change the selection at all. Try Surrey Hills (Shere Drop or Ranmore) instead of the Tribute! The regular food is reasonably priced and on a previous occasion I enjoyed the steak and ale pie, but this time I opted for the fish and chips. It didn't seem like it was freshly battered. I would go so far as to say that given a choice between this and as served at the Herbert Wells (nearest Wetherspoons) I would choose the latter every time, even without the substantial price difference. There was a very strange acoustic in this pub, noisy in places but strangely dead in others. Add the sound of a radio blathering away and it was difficult to enjoy the occasion.

Awesome beer garden and good food

Popped in early Thursday evening for drinks - unfamiliar with the pub I asked what IPA they sell only to be told they do not do IPA … followed by silence. I then looked to my left and noticed they have Neck Oil IPA on drought which I pointed out to the barmaid only to be told it’s not IPA but a craft beer ?! Without going into the definition of what makes an IPA or a craft beer I would have expected to have been offered the Neck Oil when I asked what IPAs they sell and then a friendly explanation … all in all the interaction felt very awkward. Shame really as I have some good reports on the food side …

Food is absolutely delish. Spent a very relaxing afternoon in the garden watching the world (and the river) go by. Highly recommended.

We have visited the venue on six occasions and every time the meals have been excellent. Friendly staff and atmosphere and a great place to take friends for in informal meal or drink. We came from Walton and have found this to be the best nearby eatery.

Food was great and staff were friendly!

Went for a walk along the river and stopped for some food. Great atmosphere outside at the tables. Chilli was quite spicy compared to what I normally like but the thing that let it down was that it was a bit tasteless. Good portion size though and maybe for someone else they would rate much higher. Staff were friendly and I would definitely visit again.

Really good pub, good beer, excellent beer garden on the river.

Excellent food and service. Highly recommended. Beers excellent. . Setting supreme tight by the river.
