My wife and I had a very pleasant Sunday lunch here recently. Used to visit regularly when it was a carvery, but haven't been for years. We were very pleased that we returned. The restaurant was busy with a good atmosphere. The food was excellent, and the service was attentive and friendly. There is also a very good range of ales, lagers and ciders. There is outdoor seating and a small playground, which I assume would be nice for summer.

The service, food and ambience are excellent and there is a good selection of ciders and pale ales... but I'm a bitter drinker and there was only one bitter available - which was very nice, but I'd like a choice of two or three.

The staff were fantastic, very welcoming and friendly. The Building and grounds were beautiful. Food was great! I went for the steak burger and fries and my other half had the prawn and chorizo pasta, you would not be disappointed with these choices! And to top it off, the number 1 selling point for us above all else was the incredible dog friendly reception we received throughout our entire visit! We would highly recommend!

Food was delicious! Fish pie. Service was very nice. A bit slow for our liking. Very busy, but accommodated us without a reservation. Beautiful spacious pub. Huge. Obviously it accommodates large parties. Even has a fireplace. Dogs allowed. I'd easily come back again

It is a cosy and warm pub, it looks lovely and the staff are nice but the food wasn't great, the chips were tepid and mushy and it seemed like the main course might have been waiting on a hot plate for sometime, not great but might just be this one off as I haven't eaten there in many years. It is a great place to have a drink and a chat and to warm yourself by the fire.

Lovely restaurant with so much character. The food was delicious (would highly recommend the sticky toffee pudding and the chocolate fondant) and the service was excellent. My only gripe was that I was served a Guinness in a non-Guinness glass, but we still had a great evening!

We have been to the Refectory many times,and enjoyed the food.Yesterday our lunch was hugely disappointing.My starter of deep fried brie was luke warm.My husband's scallops were only three,and served with cold potato.The pork and leek sausages,served with a tiny bit of cabbage,and certainly not onion gravy were not nice.Puddings with half a very small scoop of ice cream,quite frankly mean.However my husband enjoyed his lamb main.

Lovely atmosphere, in cold weather you could enjoy drinks close to a huge fireplace under a beamed ceiling and your dog could enjoy species-appropriate treats. In summer you could enjoy peaceful al fresco dining. However, it is also children friendly, but on 1/2/25 a group of friends decided to place their 5 pre-teen kids in 2 tables close to us and found a table for themselves well away from the kids at the other side of the room…the kids were relatively well behaved, but still noisy and enjoying their freedom at the pub.

Popular, happy buzzing place. Super service. We booked again for the four of us. Tables are well packed together so we were leaning across the table to hear each other above neighbours. Not sure why we stopped going a few years ago. Might have been the restrictions on where they allowed you to sit with a dog?

Second time of eating here …..it’s fairly central to meet with good friends and catch up. Good menu selection from nibbles through to small desserts with coffee, including some lighter bites. Not the cheapest but couldn’t fault the food ….there were 6 of us and we all chose different main courses …..no one was disappointed. Our waitress (unfortunately didn’t get her name) was brilliant …very attentive without being too obtrusive. Would definitely recommend this place.

Hadn’t been here for a while but 3 of us had lunch here today, it was superb! Excellent food, great portion sizes and excellent service. Friendly, professional bar staff. Menu is varied with good vege and vegan options. Whole place shows effort - it’s immaculately clean everywhere, massive log fire, fresh flowers on the tables and at the bar. I noticed a 5 star food hygiene rating displayed on the door on the way in - always a good sign and you can see why. No it’s not Wetherspoon prices but the quality is worth a little extra. Thank you Refectory Milford, we’ll be back.

The Refrectory is a beautiful place but so expensive! Milford is very limited on where to eat, and we needed something local between hospital visiting hours. Staff were friendly and the food was nice. I had the crispy beef salad without the chilli sauce but then it was really dry and I had to ask for mayo, and it was £4.25 for a pot of tea for one! Unfortunately, I won't be rushing back.

Lovely building. Friendly staff. Tried some of the "nibbles" on the menu which were superb ! The mains were Crispy Beef on Salad with Cashews ( Excellent ) and A Quiche Lorraine which , my partner, felt was far too oniony for her tastes. Having said that, we enjoyed our experience and we will come back again soon.

When you look at the menu you expect something really special. With typical starters priced at £9/£10, desserts at £9 and main courses at £18 upwards (unless you have a salad), it's clear that this place is aiming at quality and expecting you to pay for it. However, if our experience was anything to go by, in practice what you end up with is something that is actually pretty average and therefore overpriced. A large group of us met up here for an evening meal and to be fair, all plates were clean after eating so there was nothing much wrong with the offering. But the total cost was eye-watering compared with what you can get elsewhere for the same quality. With so many people it was good to look across the range of dishes and compare notes. One of the standard main courses was not available - unfortunate but it happens. More curious was how two dishes were described. The mushroom, cheese and tarragon Kiev would have been better described as an arancini, as that's what it was, and the blackberry panna cotta looked like a sloppy purple blob on the plate. All the above might read as rather 'picky'. But if you set yourself up as a place that offers a high end quality menu at above average prices then you just have to deliver on that. The Refectory didn't do it for us. So if you are happy to eat in a decent venue and pay through the nose for the privilege then by all means try the Refectory. You could do a lot worse but there are also more value for money options around.

Very nice place, very nice staff, good atmosphere, ample parking.

The food is perfect and the price is remarkably reasonable. I had to check the receipt because I couldn't believe it was correct, but it was.

Went for lunch with a friend during busy Christmas period. While there were many diners and large parties the waiting staff were exceptional, welcoming and very efficient. We were warned there may be a delay but this was minimal and much less than other places which were less busy. The food was excellent with prices in range of the going rate. Management had clearly prioritised staffing levels which made everything work like clockwork. Well done The Rectory. Will certainly be returning in 2025. If you are thinking of dining, I suggest you book ahead.

Very impressed with the building....very inviting. Staff were lovely and attentive. It went from empty to packed within half an hour probably because it was good fare, large portions at keen prices, and lots of return customers. So booking advisable, though they accommodated us as walk ins. Worth mentioning the very good gluten free menu. Definitely coming back!

I booked on line for 12:30 today as I was meeting a friend half way between where we live. I had my confirmation of my booking plus evidence i was coming and somehow my booking was cancelled! Must have been a glitch because I never cancelled and no confirmation of my non existent cancellation. The manager was the most rudest person I’ve ever experienced in my life. He refused to accept that there was an issue as was my fault! He just went on st me with a queue of people behind me. No apology or acceptance that something had obviously gone wrong. I’m disabled and struggled to stand whilst he was bullying me! I was waiting for my friend to join me who was lost. I will never return to this place ever. No idea what the food was like as we went elsewhere where I was told g to the staff here are leaving because of his they are being treated !

Was really lovely, enjoyed the food portion sizes where spot on, had a starter and a main, filled me up. A tad pricey but well worth it. Enjoyed looking at the art on the walls and the feel of the place. Used to go as a kid when it was a harvester so was sentimental so was good to come back 30 years on and see what's changed.

Nice place, very busy. Staff pleasant, but again busy, maybe short handed? Portions were a little on small side hence 4*, and busy staff 4*. Atmosphere was spoilt a little bit due to quite a few dogs and their barking, (I'm a dog owner and control mine better). Overall 4 out 5.

Ate here a bunch of times over the last year, and really enjoy this place! Can't fault the kitchen, seems lime every dish I've had there has been executed really well. Menu could do with an extra vegan item on sometimes but it's not their specialty so definitely don't mark them down for that. Sadly, the slow service lets this resteraunt down. It seems like front of house is always one or two personal short when it's busy; big place so the team that are on have to run around a lot. The team they have on always seem to be really great, even the trainees have always come across like they know what they're doing. Tl;dr: great place, great food. The servers are great they just seem to need a couple more of them!

We had the Sunday roast, every cook/chef should try the food they expect their guests/clients to eat, and in this case they obviously didn't.The beef was inedible and sinuous, the roast potatoes were hard shelled and over cooked, the plates were served cold!! We left without sweet or coffee. The service staff were let down by the kitchen. I could, and would not recommend the Refectory.

The refectory is your classic traditional pub food and drink Emporium. None of it is cheap but nothing is outrageously priced unlike some other local hostelries. To my mind the thing that makes the refectory stand out is the welcome you get as you come in and the willingness of staff to stop and chat. Has that certain friendly landlord feel to it. Huge car park and plenty of outdoor seating for when the sun comes out. Recommend the puddings and definitely sample a couple of beers before settling on one. Update : fifth Star added because this venue simultaneously does not automatically add service to your and definitely earns it. There is nothing more satisfying than adding a tip for good service rather than it being assumed.

We came here recently for dinner on my wife’s birthday. We had visited earlier this year at lunchtime and had a good meal so it was an easy choice. The menu had a limited choice and there was no obvious stand out item for me. One steak dish of a 10 oz Ribeye was around £34. A bit pricey in my view. The food that we did have was very good. We didn’t stay for desert as the service had been very very slow. I don’t think they have enough staff to be honest. There is no greeting at the entrance - just an over worked stressed bar person pointing us to walk to the other end of the bar to be processed. We were seated by another over worked waiter type operative and then waited 10 minutes to order drinks. A further 10 minutes went by and the waiter arrived to take a food order. We declined until we had drinks on the table. To be fair the waiter looked a bit surprised that we didn’t have any drinks and went to get them himself. Food ordered, 5 minutes later the waiter returned to state that one item had run out. Another 5 minutes getting that sorted and reordering. Another 33 minutes (I timed it) to get our main course. We had skipped starters because we sensed it would be a long wait. Same with deserts …they just couldn’t cope we felt. We won’t go back ….well not for a good while. We know of plenty of other places locally that offer good food and much quicker and friendlier service. It spoils the experience of eating out. The prices aren’t cheap here and we just expect better. I noted a recent review stated it “could be so much better” and this is exactly how we felt.

The food was out of this world - I had GF Halloumi with delicious dip and gluten free Nut Roast served with wide range of 'just right' veggies and GF gravy ... could only manage small dessert but once again, the GF Sticky Toffee pud was extremely good. My husband enjoyed the Crispy Squid, Roast Porchetta and Profiteroles ... all excellent! Highly recommend this place for dinner for two or big family/friends grouping. Plenty for everyone and special diets really do receive a first class service.

Visited on a Monday afternoon, sat outside in the garden which is absolutely beautiful. Our waitress was lovely and clearly working hard. Drinks were slow to come out and a mistake was made but this wasn’t a big deal. Calamari and halloumi fries starters were excellent. Main courses were a mixed bag! The tandoori halloumi burger was not nice at all - massive slab of halloumi just sort of covered in a raw spice tasting red marinade. Token piece of lettuce and slice of tomato in the bun, nothing else. Really disappointed in my food - especially when it was pretty pricey. The total bill was very high - the price for cordial with soda water was criminal!! Such a shame that this place just doesn’t seem to be able to get it quite right. Definitely won’t be rushing back.

Yeah place was very nice, and the food was fantastic. The service was very slow. Waited 30 mins after arriving to place our order, then the food took over 40 mins to be served. When the waitress offered us dessert I asked if the wait would be as long, she laughed and said no, there is no wait for dessert. There was though, waiting about 30 mins. A great place let down by poor service.

Our group went here for dinner. It is located close to godalming in a converted barn. Looks really attractive to come and eat or drink something. We were not the only ones. The place was quite packed both inside and outside and this stretched the service. We had to wait a while for drinks and also ordering the meals, as well waiting for the food to arrive. Nevertheless this pub has a great ambiance and we enjoyed talking and looking around. We ordered some nibbles to share as starters. We have took fried hallummi which tasted great, and we ordered a hummus dish with bread sticks. The number of bread sticks provided were too few. As main courses we ordered vegetarian burgers and a pasta dish. The fries were delicious and also the fried hallummi burger tasted fine which was accompanied by a mango chutney. As dessert we ordered ice cream.

Stopped after golf for drink and quick bite around 8pm. Was packed inside and out so didn’t have much hope for food. However, we were served quickly and the food arrived in a normal time frame. Ordered small plates to share which were very good.

Walked in on 5th of March asking to book a table for the six nations last Saturday. I was told no bookings. This was my favourite pub in Farnham until now. To my surprise I arrived today super early to secure a good table, and they were all booked! Appalling service given this was for my birthday.

We had a delicious Sunday lunch at the White Horse. Very friendly staff. Idyllic location for a fantastic day out with well signposted walks, a beautiful church and a picturesque pond. Highly recommended.

Went here for less than 30 mins and came away with a parking fine! Will never visit again, a local pub using a parking enforcement company. Bad business.
