The Weyside in Guildford

I suffered terribly with an allergic (gastrointestinal) reaction to the food which I was led to believe was glutenfree. I was off work for a week and the ongoing symptoms will continue for a few weeks to a lesser extent. I have no complaints about the staff or ambience but I have absolutely no doubt whatsoever that I consumed gluten containing food which was advertised as glutenfree. I would not recommend the place if anyone has an allergy and I will not be returning there for any meals again. REGARDING THE COMMENT POSTED. So in your mind someone should effectively avoid eating out because of possible miscommunications. I disagree. If a restaurant advertises a meal to be Gluten Free, it should be. It's not rocket science and it's 2024 - so why should people with certain food allergies avoid going out to eat. I posted a valid review and stand by it

The person serving us was very good, but the food was very poor standard , big delay between courses, manager very unfriendly .

Great atmosphere and lovely food, the staff were very accommodating for a large group

Absolutely fabulous place. If there were more stars I’d given them 🌟 Lovely old English pub in a beautiful location on the river. We had Sunday lunch for 6 Adults and 3 children, 1 child who has serious food allergies. They were very professional offering a portfolio so that mum could check through to see what ingredients were in each dish. The food arrived without any delays. Portion sizes were amazing - huge! very good value. All the roast dinner meats were lovely; Beef, Pork, Chicken. They offer vegan fare as well and there was a good choice of desserts which were very yummy! 😋 Before leaving the usual trip to the toilets with little ones. They were very clean, nicely decorated and well serviced. They don’t have a car park as they’re so close to the river but a municipal car park is 100 yards away. 1 had one disabled person who didn’t find it too far to go. The staff were excellent. Very friendly courteous and helpful a credit to the place. We will be coning back again!

I have to say it was the worst pub meal I have ever been served with I had a Brie and cranberry sandwich with brown bread- the bread was stale. Doorstop sprung to mind as bread cut in two and had trouble getting in mouth as so large - no salad or garnish Brie was nice but not cranberry sauce My friend had scampi but was cod/white fish nuggets no scampi involved Not worth money at all nearly walked out we complained but waitress not at all understanding V v disappointed I have never given a bad review like this before

Olly our server was really friendly and helpful. Sunday roast was delicious. Good portion sizes, would definitely recommend

Service was slow and we lost a waiter to his break and he wasn’t replaced.

Our first visit, but wont be our last! Great steak and best pepper sauce ever had in a restaurant, washed down with a superior Montepulcia. Service from Olly deserves 10 stars - excellent ambassador for the Weyside - friendly, efficient and tactful in the way he dealt with a very noisy party at an adjoining table, for which we were most grateful. Thank you for an excellent evening.

Great beers and great service in a great setting.

Lovely lunchtime meal. Extremely well cooked fish and chips. The Burger also was excellent. Anais our server was extremely polite and friendly. Would recommend this pub.

Lovely and helpful server, menu isn’t the best for vegetarians though.

very dog friendly, really accommodating and great food

Lovely atmosphere and great quiz. Alex is very helpful and friendly. Delicious food and great wine.

Ask for Alex - best experience out of any pub I've been to in the UK

Pub quiz!! Tempura Samphire was as tasty as the girl im sat with

Didn't have any food on that occasion but had a great time learning weaving technics. Something a bit different in excellent company. Love the new decorating too, the place looks great, warm and welcoming.

Nice lunch and great service from Emily!

It was brilliant, great organisation by Celine, Nicki and Brian were super friendly and knowledgeable, the finished star is very nice and I am looking forward to doing it again soon !! Also realised why basket are so expensive with the amount of time and work it takes to make one !!! a very hard but rewarding and enjoyable craft !!

Olly was a great host very helpful food was great service amazing thank you we will be back 😊

Alex is the GOATed quizmaster 🥵🥵🥵

Love the pub quiz with Alex on weds !

Alex is an excellent host for the pub quiz on Wednesdays, 100% recommended, great atmosphere, food and drink

Olly was really friendly and got our order right , 10/10 will probable coming back

Lovely food, olly was brilliant, enthusiastic and made us feel welcome.

We have eaten here on several occasions as a large family party of 8-10. This time we noticed the decline in the quality of the Sunday roast , the fish and chips however were fantastic

Hadn’t booked but thought I’d try my luck, managed to get a table for four and ordered roasts which were lovely, with bottomless Yorkshires and gravey. Service was great, well def be back

Was really good food! Great service and the place was very lovely! Would definitely recommend coming here!

Unfortunately didn’t have time to stop for dinner, however sat outside for an after work drink and I was offered a blanket and table service, Craig especially stood out to me as it was later on in the evening he was still full of beans and looked after us right up on till the point we left. Never been here before yet his service alone is enough for us to come back, Ollie was just so accommodating and helped us pick out our drinks without any hesitation and made us feel very welcome, definitely an attribute to the venue. Would definitely recommend! Thanks for having us. Amazing staff!!

Great service, lovely food, good value. Tricky to park though - but there was a matinee at the theatre, so that might have been the issue.

Beautiful pub, great food and wonderful service from Oli!

Quiz is fantastic on a Wednesday evening, Alex is a great host

The Quiz run by Alex was great fun. Definitely challenging but all round a great evening!

We love the pub quiz on a Wednesday night - Alex is a fantastic host.

Alex is the greatest quizmaster of all time

Alex was a brilliant quiz master, will definitely be coming back next week. Had a lovely time :)

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch. The service by Robert was faultless.

Booked to go for my 22nd birthday meal with friends. Had amazing service and food. Was reasonably priced and all had a lovely meal. We then went to the outside, heated undercover area to continue to have drinks and chill. There were blankets provided and board games that we could choose from. Overall a amazing experience.

Nice and quiet the staff are lovely and so is the food. Nice big portions

Had a lovely experience with Olly as the sever, food and ambiance was amazing especially with the live band!

Great atmosphere, food and excellent service from Olly!

Cosy tent decorated beautifully. Warm, as was the service! Tasty food. Looking forward to seeing the new interior.

UPDATE 18/10/24 Re-visited with a good friend. There are currently renovations going on, but don't let that put you off. They have cozy cabins with a warm fire, blankets, soft cushions etc. The cabins overlook the river, it's lovely. Very helpful (helped me get their App for easy ordering). All staff really friendly, Amy was delightful. I had noted the names of the two guys on a napkin but unfortunately I lost that... You know who you are though! The food was tasty and well presented, reasonably priced, hot and served with a smile 😊. NOTE They have a re-opening day on Wednesday 23rd October 24 with a live band. Highly recommend. As Arnie says.. "I'll be back" 👍 My elderly parents and I were recommended to go here after visiting The Royal Surrey Hospital. Our waitress was Pranita who is absolutely lovely. She was very attentive and nothing was too much trouble, (caring towards my parents). Pranita is a credit to The Weyside and clearly enjoys her job. The other staff we saw were also very pleasant. The food was delicious, we all had the battered haddock, the batter was crisp and the fish was so fresh, loved the chips and the added condiments a nice addition. The puddings were scrumptious too, sticky toffee pudding and the meringue with the fruit and blood orange syrup... Oh my! All in all a great place, we sat outside to start with which was a really nice atmosphere and then moved inside when it got a bit chilly. Fabulous place, I highly recommend.

Staff were doing their best with kitchen closure , but despite being not very busy service was slow , steaks were cold and lots of things already off the limited menu However staff made us comfortable in the boathouse and it was lovely to be by the water

Nice pub, but was dead in there when we came in. Food was good and the waiter we had was lovely but shame there was no vibe in there at all.

Went to a party, it was busy and great area for organizing with a heater and cover -stretch canopy. Bar staff friendly. We did not eat any thing

We had a great time at The Weyside. The pub is currently in the process of being refurbished (looking great by the way) and both the food and the service were excellent. Special thanks to Rohan who made us feel very welcome and did a great job. Would definitely recommend going to this pub - which also has great views and tables overlooking the river. A definite repeater.

Ollie served us very professional 10_ 10

I was served by Ryan who was lovely. Great service!

My family and I have enjoyed meals at the Weyside a few times. Unfortunately, this Sunday the service was not up to par. We were at dinner with some elderly members of my family but were told we had to order on the app/through phones. We requested if it was possible to have table service as some of the other tables had, however because of where we were sat this was “not an option” despite several members of staff standing around. When we were eventually given menus and told we could order at the bar, and were given filthy food encrusted cutlery. When ordering, I repeated the order several times as we were a large table, and yet when our food arrived the order was wrong and we were brought the wrong dishes. Overall, the service and time spent at the Weyside was underwhelming. Unfortunate, as we’ve previously had great experiences at the Weyside

Another great service from Ryan… thank you!

Only went in for a drink so can't comment on food but lovely pub in a gorgeous setting by the river.

Great experience! Lovely food and service. Ryan was great!

The Weyside is a nice pub; the pictures on its website are less attractive than the view from its large terrace. it has a large pay and display car park next to it. The decor , ambiance and seating are good and the food was nice and good value. It is a Youngs pub and the drinks offer is very good.

Good food and wine, friendly staff and reasonable prices. We had a very enjoyable evening at the Weyside. Recommended.

Great service from Ryan. Very attentive and great food!

Warmish day, though clouded over, busy outside next to the river, staff very polite, cleared tables, and provided code for ordering at table, good service, food was good, happily visit again

One of the best places to meet in Guildford with a beautiful terrace overlooking the river

Had a lovely meal as the sun went down by the river. Us and the dog were well looked after by Connor. Thanks guys!

Beautiful chill out place on the river 👌

Great place, beautiful surroundings and good service.

Lovely pub on the lake, nice place to sit and chat and while away an afternoon. Excellent service from Ryan. Food was good , what you'd expect from a good pub

Booked for lunch, four people. Decided on the sandwich menu and, unfortunately, one of the dishes was not as expected. Our server, Ryan, swiftly offered a no quibble alternative which was accepted and promptly delivered. Apologies were offered by the chef and Ryan, both of whom went above and beyond to ensure we had a lovely lunch. A rare pleasure to have such great service. Well done Ryan, the staff and Youngs!

Beautiful pub by the water with excellent food and service from our waiter Ryan and his associates :) definitely towards the expensive side but not horrendous considering it Guildford and the quality. Great walking routes nearby

Served by Ryan lovely man and very polite

A lovely pleasant place to relax and have a drink while be had a few bites to eat. The food was lovely and the service by Ryan was great.

Lovely evening pub food good beer.

We had our wedding reception at the Weyside, had booked outside but it was raining. Without asking, the staff had already sorted out an inside section for us, which was better than imagined. They went above and beyond, so would highly recommend!!

Fun guy, had a laugh with us. Quick service. Good food. Elevated the night.

We enjoyed a delightful meal with a picturesque view of the river. The service was outstanding, especially from Tarra🥰

The food was amazing, the ambience was exceptional and our waitress Tara was lovely. Would 100% recommend :)))))

Robert was so helpful with wine choices and Ryan was also great!

Lovely pub, great range of seating outside with a fantastic view. Drinks prices reasonable and nice staff.

Great food and staff - the service from Olly was great. A very enjoyable meal thanks to the team 👍🏼

Ryan was lovely and efficient. However, the salad was overpriced for what it was and the fish sandwich was on the dry side.

We had a lovely lunch at The Weyside on Saturday. Our server was Connor who was a delight. As someone who works in the service industry and knows how important that interaction is with the customer, I applaud Connor. He was attentive right from the start. We were walk-ins and he couldn’t have been more amenable considering we were a large-ish group. Nothing was too much trouble and you just made us feel very at ease and looked after. Thank you for your wonderful service, you are an asset to The Weyside.

Very well looked after by Ryan and Anna today, gorgeous venue and food, would highly recommend.

Ryan provided great service! Thanks very much. The chicken burger was quite bland. The atmosphere, company and service made up for it!

Love the food and the atmosphere there! Sitting at the river side and enjoyed and wonderful time with my family. The staff is very friendly too!

This should have been a great experience as just arrived in UK and meeting friends, but sadly was not. Lunch menu - no sandwiches left. Staff asked us for a table number and there was none. Very condescending about this, in fact they were rude. Requested an ashtray - none arrived. Salt and pepper on the table, salt grinder empty. Requested a new one - it did not arrive, had to go and find our own. Watched staff put reserved signs on tables but did not clear the empty glasses, so expecting them to clear ours was maybe too big an expectation. A lovely spot to sit but sadly this was the best part of our experience. 😕 very disappointing

Excellent food - made very generous accomodations for food allergies and dietary needs, making it a smooth experience. The server, Ryan, was efficient and welcoming. Would definitely come again!

Took some family visiting from Australia and had a great time. Ryan was especially great and his service was friendly and attentive. Will definitely be back.

Lovely lunch here with great service and delicious food.

We had a lovely evening meal on the waterside terrace. Lovely food and even better setting and location. Our waiter Ryan was professional and attentive.

Lovely quaint pub by the river with large outdoor area and a great selection of beers. We were served by the friendly and attentive Ryan. Would highly recommend!

Ryan our servicer was attentive, polite and delivered outstanding customer service. We will definitely be back.

Went for drinks after a sunday lunch in Guildford. Sat outside by the river. Lovely afternoon very relaxed goid views.

Ryans service was brilliant. Had the monk fish special that was lovely.

Came to Weyside pub for lunch. Ryan was our server and he was brilliant. All of the staff here can not do enough for you. Fabulous service and beautiful pub especially outside. Thank you

Big pub in great location. Good food. Great service - thanks Ryan.

We were a table of 5 booked in for Sunday lunch. 2 of our party order the roast beef and 3 order the roast pork of which one was gluten free, which was made clear when I booked online and with the waiter. The beef was inedible. Couldnt even cut the beef let alone eat it and both orders of beef were sent back. The pork arrived and was very fatty and the gluten free order of pork arrived with a massive yorkshire pudding on top of the all the food - immediately sent back ! We then had to wait for 3 new meals to arrive !!! When the new dishes arrived, the potatoes were hard and the gluten free dish was missing the apple sauce and only 1 potato - dreadful ! The only bonus was the waiter was extremely apologetic and good at his job. Also the pub now looks shabby and tired inside. The bench seat 3 of us sat on was ripped and slashed and looked awful. This is a shame as we have eaten at this pub quite a few times but the standard has dropped both in interior and the food.

We came to this pub very last minute as we’re only in Guildford for a gig. However, we will be back!! The food, vibes and most of all service we experienced was top level. Especially our waiter Ryan, who kept the good vibes going. Can’t wait to pay another visit to the weyside.

Ryan was very kind and attentive, food was served quickly and hot while not compromising on its delicious flavours, all amongst a lovely setting by the water.

Had a lovely roast dinner here with my wife, food was amazing and you can have as many roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings as you like, can’t argue with that! And Ryan who served us was brilliant! Will definitely be coming back!

Went for lunch with my mum! Ryan was great and checked in on us throughout, which gave plenty of chances to take advantage of unlimited Yorkshire puddings! Great atmosphere and lovely food

The Weyside is the perfect spot for a sunny day. Their riverside terrace is beautiful and relaxing. It's a great place to unwind and enjoy the summer vibes.

Had Sunday lunch with my wife today managed to get a seat outside without booking. We both had roast beef and it was amazing so much meat and as many roast potatos we could eat. Our waiter was Ryan who could not have looked after us any better he was very attentive.

Was nice, chilled and relaxed. They could improve on vegan options. Vegan Brownie was yummy

Thank you for your excellent service Anna and Ryan 🙂

A spot overlooking the river..we had a lovely roast (slowed roast pork was beautiful) here over the bank holiday. Fabulous service from start to finish, shout out to Ryan!

Staff slow apart from the South African guy. Bar was more or less serving a drink every half hour until he got there. Food at neighbouring table looked and smelt horrific (some kind of deep fried veggies) Would return as view is nice Drink prices are a pisstake
