Saturday evening plenty of parking in overflow carpark which lead use down to the garden entrance on first impressions outside tables not cleared of glasses, cups,plates . Bar area ok & service very pleasant. Got shown to our table which to me felt to close to the other table there was a large group in so very noisy couldn't hear yourself speak. I felt the menus to big for the small square table. Had to be carful not to knock the glasses over. The table we sat at looked like the inner piece of wood had shrunk & left a gap which had food crumbs all in it. Young lad that served us was very pleasant. Food was all very nice & didn't have to wait to long. We then ordered coffees & one baileys which when it arrived I was surprised to see it in a shot glass not as I expected it to be in a small tumbler over ice. So disappointed with this. When checking the bill was shocked to see this baileys had cost me £6.05 .But we had a very pleasant evening & lots of laughter .

We came here for lunch on the off chance as we were looking for somewhere a little outside of Guildford and were really impressed, not only with the food but also the bar, service and open fireplaces.

Family dinner for 3 on 27 Feb. Took advantage of February offer with Premium Country Pub (40% off mains). A most enjoyable dining evening promoted this review. Not been for a while. Nice table. Excellent professional and attentive friendly service by our waiter (sorry didn’t take his name). We had mains and desserts. All had steaks. My surf n turf fillet was superb, cooked to perfection (medium rare) as requested, full of flavour, well presented. The other medium rare fillet was also enjoyed, as was the large tender rib eye. Tasty side veg extras also perfectly cooked, presented and enjoyed. Apple tart dessert and ice creams. Nice cosy atmosphere, clean table, appetising and tasty food, nice wines, and served with a smile - what a treat!

Popped in for coffee and hot chocolate but will never be going back. I didn’t see how the hot chocolate was made but I can honestly say it was the worst ever had, just hot water poured onto chocolate powder and not stirred properly. No milk, no froth, no taste, and quite a small cup. The wife said the coffee was not up to much either.

I was meeting a friend of mine who was staying with her son, so I wanted to find somewhere local to have lunch. Having done a Google search, I came across The Seahorse and decided to book table. A very pleasant place to visit, with plenty of parking onsite. Staff were friendly, attentive and helpful, with the food being very good indeed. Whilst I don’t live locally, I would be willing to drive over and have food here again anytime. Great atmosphere, and on a cold, damp, dark lunchtime, bring seated by an open fire was an absolute treat. Definitely will be back, even if on my own.

We stopped for lunch whilst walking the beautiful North Downs. A large fronted establishment facing onto the main road with an unprepossessing entrance around the side. Once through the door you are welcomed with a large central bar surrounded by a number of rooms some laid out for dining but plenty of room for drinks in the bar area. Only one cask ale on offer the day we visited, but it was well conditioned and served by friendly staff. We ate in the bar from choice .. lots of character ... If a little dark. The belly pork was excellent. Service quick. Worth another visit. A little expensive ... But it is Surrey!

Food and atmosphere all ok, as you would expect from a up market chain of restaurants. The staff can make or break a premises and the tall barman, I think his name was Tom certainly helps make the Seahorse a place to return to, professional, attentive and very likeable. On a separate note my wife and daughter were more taken with how good looking he was. Many thanks to all for a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Our Christmas dinner at this restaurant was far below average, and I left feeling very disappointed, especially considering how overpriced it was. To start with, our table wasn’t ready when we arrived, and we had to wait nearly 30 minutes. Despite the menu promising bread, butter and accompaniments on arrival, none was offered to us and from looking around it didnt seem any table received this. The starter was bland and completely failed to live up to expectations—it didn’t even contain most of the ingredients listed on the menu like the prawns, crab,capers or the gremola crumb, it was just the scallops in a bland a cream sauce. Things didn’t improve with the main course. I specifically chose this restaurant for the Beef Wellington, but it was overcooked, chewy, and lacked any of the quality I was hoping for. To make matters worse, there was no stuffing, despite it being advertised. The vegetables were clearly boiled not roasted and lacked flavor, according to the rest of the table. I personally didnt try the veg as there wasn’t enough for everyone at the table. Each course took an unreasonably long time to arrive, which only made the experience worse. While the gravy was tasty (a small silver lining), it wasn’t enough to save what was otherwise a complete letdown. Given the steep price, I expected much more from this restaurant. The extremely slow service, lack of attention to detail, and disappointing food left me feeling let down on what should have been a special afternoon. I wouldn’t recommend this place for Christmas dinner. Its unlikely I will be coming back to this restaurant again.

We booked our Xmas Day lunch based on our prior experience at this pub/restaurant (3x Sunday lunches). We paid £450 (excluding drinks and service) for the Xmas meal and, unfortunately, it was distinctly average. The menu stated we would be served artisan rustic breads with salted butter, tomato tapenade and house pesto. This course wasn't served at all! From what we could see, no table received this course. STARTER: The scallops in the thermidor were cooked perfectly. Unfortunately the sauce lacked flavour and there was no crab, as stated in the menu. The soup was slightly watery. No hint of pesto, as stated in the menu. Could have been a delicious, creamy, butternut squash soup but ....... nope! MAIN: Turkey was moist and plentiful. The menu stated it would be accompanied by lemon and thyme stuffing - it wasn't. The beef wellington was dry and the veg was boiled, not roasted. It arrived over 5 minutes after our mains. The gravy was flavoursome and plentiful. DESSERT: The chocolate bomb was OK. The dulce de leche sauce did not materialise. Chocolate sauce was served instead. It wasn't warm enough to melt the chocolate dome when poured over it. The sponge inside the dome was cold. The menu stated whipped cream would be served and this was absent. Margherita and espresso martini cocktails were excellent. We were seated 20 minutes later than we had booked. This had implications for our pre-booked taxi home. Had the pub served their usual Sunday fair, we would have left more than satisfied. However, the Xmas meal was overpriced and average at best. Why state ingredients in the menu and then fail to deliver?! We were rooting for this pub to deliver a great experience, based on our previous meals, and we would have happily returned year after year, however, unfortunately, we are not willing to pay in excess of £650 (including drinks) for mediocre food.

I had been to the seahorse many years ago and it was very good. I now have to come to Guildford hospital at least once a month so in September we came to you for the first time for many years and the service and the meal was very good so we booked another meal and then we had a pre-Christmas meal with you and then today had our Christmas meal. Today I was totally the opposite of the past very disappointed in the service. You were half an hour late taking us to our table and the service from there was very slow. We were with you for just over three hours which I don’t find to be acceptable. The starter was good but very slow to come out and then we waited quite a while before our main course came out, this was disappointing as there was very few vegetables. We had two sprouts each one piece of carrot each and one piece of parsnip. Once we finished this then there was then a further 35 minute wait for our pudding to come out and I had to chase the waiter at that point to receive this. This was our first meal out at Christmas ever and it hasn’t made us want to come back to you at Christmas again. We will be revisiting and see if the experiences we’ve had before will be continued but I am left feeling very disappointed along with my wife and son that came with us today.

Served a burger that I wouldn’t feed to my dog. If you can’t do that right I won’t be trying anything else on the menu. Overpriced and just another chain masquerading as a “gastro pub” I was refunded and the staff were nice enough. Don’t waste your money on their food Update: they told me the would contact me to to discuss this, I tried to get in touch and left my details. They called me back once but I couldn’t answer as I was working and they sent me voucher via email. Compensation is great but they’re not going to make the burger better by giving their customers hush money
