The Royal Oak in Guildford

We called in for supper on our way to where we were staying for the night. The pub was small and quiet, but friendly. The one staff member on duty was lovely and made sure we had everything we needed. We only had burgers but they were well cooked and fresh and the chips were amazing!

Was going to a music gig in Guildford come across pub for a 1 night stay in Vw Campervan. Pub was fab as was owners Dave and Natalie and local regulars too. Felt very welcome ate in there had Homemade Pizzas and Burgers both were lovely tasty and well priced as was drink. 1st time for us staying in a pub car park and would recommend The Royal Oak thank you

What a great little pub..friendly cheap n cold beers. Stumbled across on our walk and got a Uber home...

We were disappointed, the Royal Oak wasn't very clean. I had a burger, it wasn't what I expected, the roll was strange, a bit of melted cheese and the burger was solid. I love a burger but won't have this one again. The staff were very friendly, the ladies and the gents were very old and desperately needs upgrading. Won't go again.

First Wed of every month is pizza night. Lovely pizza for a fiver. Nice pub and owner is very friendly.

Nice company with family vibesclean go od food book a roast dinner very clean.

We stayed at this pub as part of the Brit Stops scheme for an overnight stay in our motorhome. Very welcoming and great food. There's a level parking area but it's close to the road. We were able to replenish our water supply which is a boon.

Cute little homely pub with friendly staff and good food. Great place for a stop off while out for a walk around the local area.

Used as a campervan stop over night. Literally parked outside pub . Landlord moved a vehicle so we could be more on the flat .They make the most delicious pizzas . Friendly locals proper old school pub would use again

The best pub in Surrey, food was lovely, brilliant afternoon/'evening. Recommend Sunday lunch, it's amazing!!

Really good Sunday lunch, staff were really friendly, will definitely be going back for Sunday lunch 👍🏻

Great local pub. Good food and fantastic service :)

Very nice dog friendly and kid friendly would recommend to anyone coming through the area

My family and I enjoyed a lunch there with the Nation 6 rugby. Big portion and great service. Limited parking provided.

A great local serving a good range of beers

Nice staff and yummy food. It’s a lovely local pub. I’m impressed by the marina pizza.🍕

Best pub and best pizza in Surrey Very dog friendly. Just go

Great little village pub with a good selection of food.

Great food and amazing staff thank you so much

Lovely traditional dog friendly pub. Landlord had a friendly welcome for bedraggled walkers.

Nice friendly country pub that does great food....specially pizzas.

Very nice owners you feel like home!

Very friendly landlord. Good if you like English cuisine.

Friendly local pub, genuinely family ran business. Cheap and cheerful!

The tractor in the carpark gave a hint of what was to come. The staff and customers were welcoming, the drinks were reasonably priced and the food was good value for money. The pub was busy with people talking and laughing and generally enjoying themselves. I am 70 and this is a rare and wonderful pub in this area.

100% recommended this pub. Dog friendly really good food and every one is very friendly and of course has beer 🍺 😀

Hidden gem, freshly made pizza is amazing! Chips are to die for! Friendly bar staff. Would recommend

Had a lovely afternoon in the Royal Oak! Warm welcome good service nice food friendly staff what’s not to like? Perfect local pub every village should have one!

I ate everything on my plate 😯😊 and some of my husbands veg! 😂 They didn't have my choice of pud available today but thats ok as was happy to accommodate what I fancied 😁❤) great atmosphere great food and ..... "I'll be back" 😂

Thanks Dave for the hospitality last night. Lovely pub, nice atmosphere! Will be popping in next time I am down there.

Hi Dave and Natalie tried to post 5 stars before but got it wrong. Excellent pizzas and great service. Sorry for my previous mistake.

Lovely place the Sunday roast was really good the a generous.

Lovely food, friendly staff, great pub

Excellent evening and great pizza thank you

Not one bad thing to say about this place! Pizza's were great, service was impeccable and set up was next level. A great night had by all!

Had a wonderful evening, amazing service. The landlord and landlady made it very special, serving delicious homemade pizzas.

Great pizza, beers, atmosphere, & lovely staff

Our group of 4 visited last night and had THE BEST TIME. First and foremost, THE PIZZA IS OUT OF THIS WORLD. Absolutely excellent. The staff was very kind and the atmosphere was lovely outside at night with all of the lights. Great folks, can't wait to come back.

Excellent service. Lovely pint and simple cheap post lockdown menu.

A great little pub! We had a super meal here and sampled some of their gin selection. They have board games to play and a lovely garden. The takeaway pizza is fantastic.

Dave is a champ. Love this pub.

Friendly well kept beer and wine. Safety paramount.

Lovely pub, really nice staff and wonderful service. The lines are ere really clean and the banana boat was delicious 😁😁😁

Had an amazing night there with friends

My family and I have been to this pub regularly and every time the service is outstanding and the food amazing. All home cooked food and so tasty. One of the best pubs in Guildford, I would highly recommend it to anyone.

Amazing family run pub. Great food and friendly atmosphere

I stayed here as part of the Britstop scene for travelling camper and and the experience was perfect. The host was most welcoming on the phone and also when I arrived. The food was extremely good value for exceptional quality. The real ales were fabulously kept and he clearly keeps the lines In Tip top condition. I cannot recommend this pub highly enough and I will definitely be coming back.

This is a traditional well run pub it`s clean well kept and you get a friendly service. Well priced menu well presented food, good choice of local beer, what more can you ask for from a village pub.

Phone the pub before hand and asked him if it was ok to receive 2 motorhomes in his car park for a stay over. Had Sunday lunch there are all roast dinners we all enjoyed thoroughly, Dave the landlord an A1 chilled friendly person. Nice local pub good food good beer and friendly match recommended.

Stayed at an Air BnB around the corner so what a delight to find a local which sells great ales and fantastic grub. Here again tomorrow so looking forward to eating here again. It’s traditional it’s friendly and I do wish I had a local like this. Friendly local drinkers in there too. Well done to the chef. Thanks to all at the Royal Oak Wood Street Guildford.

Excellent food and hospitality. A huge thanks from our group of 21 cyclists 👍🚴😀

Lovely fluffy jacket potato with good choice of fillings. Lovely coffee. Very well priced.

Found this gem whilst visiting family in Guildford. Stayed on their car park in our Motor Home. Had great homemade food at a very reasonable price. Great drink selection too. Will definitely return.

Great little gem of a country pub . Large garden and great food . It is owned by green king so good selection of ale . Food is plentiful and not expensive. Staff are aways very friendly well worth a stop

Great food. Big garden, thing for kids in the garden too. I would definitely recommend

Friendly Staff, Great Tasting Beers and Ciders, Overall Nice Atmosphere in The Pub, Would Recommend to Anyone Who Just Wants a Quiet Relaxing Drink, Cheers 🍻👍🏻

We took the family fir our annual festive get together. Service was mediocre, starters were cold and poached egg topping was hard. Steaks were undercooked and tough, desserts either sickly sweet or tasted of cardboard. The only saving grace was the wine and family.

Nice village local does food, good real ales

really top quality food, friendly, well worth the trip

Nice little village pub in Wood Street, Guildford. Car park in front, beer garden out back

Visited recently with my family and had a very pleasant experience, we all had a Sunday lunch and it was delicious. Generous portions of well cooked food, roast beef in particular was great. The children had brownie and ice cream for pudding and the brownie was amazing, would highly recommend it. The service was equally great, very friendly. Would recommend and will be going again soon.

Compliments to the chef. The two burgers that were ordered by my friend and I were both delightfully enjoyed and consumed with utmost glee, and quite frankly, great haste, because our palette was tickled in such a way that we had no other choice but to smash those tasty suckers down. The staff were friendly and the ale's were just as loved as the burgers. Will be definitely be back.

Quaint little pub with lots of local characters. The food was great and beer good too. Enjoyed our evening there.

Great evening at the Royal Oak. Excellent buffet full of different foods. Good drinks and full of fun.

Don't go there unless you're a local to Woodstreet and wash in the pond like rest of them. If you're not a regular as soon as you walk in there, you'll hear the record slip and the whole pub will be staring intently at these alien creatures from outside of Woodstreet, something totally unimaginable to these inbred hillbillies.

I was passing with a friend who had business in the area, so we called in for a quick drink. It was like stepping back in time. The staff were welcoming, it was clean and the cider was good. My male companion had a bit of a shock with the hike outside to find the gents toilet. He was glad it was a warm summers day and not raining. It was an interesting experience. The pub probably serves the local community well (I was impressed that they did OAP lunches) but in all honesty a good deal of money needs to be spent to drag the property into the 21st century.

Really friendly and helpful landlord...Good pizza too

We happened upon this pub / restaurant. Food was good, as was the vibe. We came back a second night and could not get a table so book in advance.

Absolutely love this place! we've only been a few times, but there's always such a good friendly atmosphere!

Lovely place to stop over in the motorhome. Very welcoming and peaceful.

Great breakfasts served every 2nd Wednesday for the Omni Local Guildford and Woking business networking group. Try a visit and share on the referral business being generated.

Went over for dinner and a couple of beers. We are all vegetarians and decided on the Mediterranean Vegetable Quiche. Food was great, I drank Hogs Back HBB which was excellent and a good time was had by all. Both the barman and the landlord came over and checked everything was OK and the landlord brought the drinks over so I could eat as I was in the middle of getting more drinks when the food arrived. A really good evening of food and beer. Perfect.

Great value for money lunchtime food

amazing food nice home atmosphere and good beer

A great place to hang out with my family, a great place to visit children's birthday parties and a great place to join in all the summer fun!

Good beer and a garden, dog friendly which is a great bonus. Food available at lunch and in evening. A real pub.

Very welcoming and accommodating landlord, Dave. Had a lovely, homecooked meal and listened to great music!! Would definitely visit again. Penny & Rachel

After dining Sue and I stayed over outside the pub in our camper and used various available facilities. It is run by hardworking Dave and Natalie and their family. Dave, originally from Gloucestershire, courted local lady Natalie in the Oak and they later bought the pub!

Friendly, traditional, and a proper village pub - such a rarity. Highly recommended.

Nice place for a drink not far from where we were staying. Unfortunately the cooked food was average.

Nice little pub. Drinks very good. Food is average

We have visited on many occasions and food, drink and service is excellent pizza is fantastic and lasagne great to. Highly recommended !!!

Great beer, honest classic pub food. Landlord and Lady are great people. Great place to bring children. Enclosed back garden with plenty of space for kids to run around. Friendly locals...

We stopped here with our motorhome and have been welcomed very friendly. We got a recommendation for the pizza which really was fantastic. Had tasty Ale while sitting in the garden. Great location. Greetings from Germany

Nice friendly pub. Food a little disappointing. Bacon turned out to be ham and far too hard. Baguette was a hot dog roll. Soft and not a baguette. Apart from that food was good

Somos un grupo local de paseo y el miércoles 5 de abril, 18 de nosotros comimos, todo reservado, después de seis kilómetros a pie. Tuvimos una gran bienvenida de vuelta por el propietario. Una vez que conseguimos nuestras bebidas, la comida se servía de inmediato y todos disfrutamos de la comida casera. La selección de la comida era estupenda y adecuada para todos. Aunque el resto del pub era tranquilo el ambiente era acogedor, todo hablaba de la buena música están presentes y sin duda volveremos más adelante en el año. Bien hecho a todos.

A group of 12 met. All meals were enjoyed and service was very good. Roast pork recommended. Good large garden.

Encantador pequeño pub. Es el viejo pub ambiente pero sin el olor rancio de cerveza.

Probamos pizzas caseras última noche - el 'Natalia'-vegetariano, delicioso! Y la carne muy sabrosa, poderoso, también hicieron una costra cursi ajo ¡ñam ñam! Yo creo que son conexas, como un especial de todo el mes de excelente sabor y precio.

The welcome was warm and freindly and children and dogs are well catered for as the beer garden is great in the summer Food was lovely with home cooked chips and very well priced and specials board had a good selection

I have visited on several occasions and always found a warm welcome and good food at reasonably prices. The garden is a lovely place for families as plenty to occupy the children

A friend had a birthday party there based on the reviews and recommendations from local people

We come here at least once a month. Good friendly atmosphere and recent redecorations but it still retains the character of the old family style pub it has always been.Good dining area and good pub grub, Range of drinks is very good especially beer & lager varieties.Quiz nights are especially good fun

What a magic little place this is! I have been coming to Guildford for 40 years and never been in here. We had parked in the Castle Hill car park next door and were on the way to G-Live. Down some steps to the front door into this cosy little place. A lovely open fire place with a stove in. The stag over the fire complete with Santa hat and people playing darts. We just had a drink before we made our way via the back door along the tiny path to the high street. Well worth a visit to a place with traditional charm.

Great family run pub with a good atmosphere where everyone is welcome.

We arrived in Guilford for the first time today (considering relocating) and were looking for a good pub for a sandwich and a glass. Caught site of a sign on the High Street pointing up an alley to "The Royal Oak - The oldest pub in Guilford". It was not easy to see - looked like a house until we got close. It overlooks the churchyard. But the welcome was very friendly, the beer & wine excellent and the sandwiches were some of the best we can recall! The staff were great and were happy to advise us on where to have dinner! Highly recommended.

I recently visited this public house after an absence of about 47 years. What a surprise, nothing much has changed. The layout and bar area are still the same but the decor has progressed, into the 70's! The pub is very relaxed and friendly as it always was. I had a jacket potato with cheese and beans, very nice. This was served with a large fresh salad. My only advice to the landlord/prospective guest - please don't serve the hot food in a separate dish, set amongst the salad - it makes the meal very unwieldy and is so 1980's. On the whole a pleasurable lunch.

Easily our favourite pub in the area, lovely food!

Very friendly down to earth family orientated pub Good Ale, Good Food. Friendly atmosphere.

We spent Sunday lunchtime at The Royal Oak to celebrate a family birthday. There were 9 of us with an age range from 80 to 5, with teenagers and middle aged parents in between. There were 3 vegetarians and several meat enthusiasts. We often have trouble finding somewhere to eat that suits all of us (can't think why) but this was just excellent. The food was great, from Sunday roast to vegetarian lasagna and quiche with burgers for the kids. The service was friendly and efficient and the atmosphere was brilliant. It was a warm day and we sat in the garden so the kids could run about and play on the swings with the other children. Dave the landlord checked we were happy with everything (we really were) and we had a great time.I really can't recommend the Royal Oak highly enough, it was just the perfect venue for our family celebration. Thank you to Dave and Natalie.
