Ye Olde Ship Inn in Guildford

The best place for massive home made pizzas

had a gf margarita pizza came really quick very tasty.service good atmosphere and laylout lovely

Great pizza and nice cosy atmosphere

One of the best pizza romana style I ever had in the UK

Amazing old pub with log fire. Fantastic pizzas and great service.

Food was fantastic and staff were very chatty and helpful. Will 100% be going back

Huge pizzas. Taste delicious abit pricey but worth every penny!

We dine both in the pub and also takeaway quite a lot and never disappointed. The pizza is huge and epic and the service is always brilliant.

It's okay if you want a quick pint and decent pizza. It's not Italian style pizza and the crust is thin and very dry/crispy. Be prepared to eat, as the pizzas are quite big and well packed. Friendly staff and relatively quick. No issues with service. Inside it has its rustic charm but not a very modern establishment and the age shows.

Nice place, but they are 'a symptom of their success' rushed service. no seats. Only good if you have prebooked and have plenty of time

Wow!! We loved every aspect of our visit. The staff were super friendly and accomodating. Our dog was welcomed and quickly provided with a water bowl. The beer and wine was delicious. The pizza was seriously some of the best we have ever tried. Absolutely fantastic! We ordered more to bring home it was so delicious. We can't wait to go back!!

Absolutely amazing. Hands down one of the best pizzas I've ever had (and have had a few in Italy). Amazing dough and all of the toppings were top notch ingredients. Green pesto was off the charts. STRONGLY recommend stopping in for pizza and a pint (or three).

If you like pizza this is the place to go. Really huge and great pizzas Nice old pub atmosphere and friendly staff. What’s not to like

Cosy, friendly staff , cute decor and delicious pizzas!!

Super place. Friendly staff, fantastic pizza and nice atmosphere. We really enjoyed it. Thanks.

Great Pizza and atmosphere. We enjoyed it.

Nice olde world pub, food is mainly pizza but they are LARGE.Good selection of beers and ales.The wine list is quite good too.

Lovely little pub serving delicious and huge pizzas. The service was quick and staff were attentive. We visited on a Saturday lunchtime. It’s also dog friendly which is always a bonus. I think the prices are good value for the portion sizes and quality of the food.

Huge thin crust crispy pizza. Quality and quantity, plus the folks were super friendly.

We had a lovely evening, we well looked after by the staff and it made for a fabulous evening. We were able to watch the opening ceremony for the Olympic games in Paris so all good 👍

Nice little pub in Guildford. We went here during our walk along the river Wey (you can easily get up to the pub from the path). There's a nice outdoor area but it does feel a little like being sat in the car park. There's a good range of beers and the interior feels like a proper pub. Would recommend.

I didn't eat, but those around me did, and it smelled delicious! I was very pleased with the bar staff and their attentive, yet not fake behaviour. My only issue was the ladies toilet. It was not to the same standard as the pub, with multiple toilet rolls stacked on the cistern, and it looked extremely tired and unloved. Also, (maybe just a bug bear for us vertically challenged lot), the mirror above the sink was so high I only saw my forehead and hairline...

Brilliant foodie pub if you like pizzas, which are excellent. Best to book a table in advance as always busy. Friendly staff and a good variety of pizzas. Parking limited at the pub, but plenty up the road almost opposite. Recommended

Fantastic! Best pizzas in Surrey

Basic cuisine, very limited menu (pizza or nachos), but generally high quality ingredients at expensive prices in a cute pub with ok staff. Really awkward to make a reservation.

Never had a bad night here. Incredible pizza, lovely drinks, great service.

Great tasting pizzas. Terrific service from the bar staff. Happy and friendly. One staff member was training another on a busy Friday evening. Great service, guys. Thank you.

I've walked past this place so many times and hesitated to give it a try. I should've tried it much sooner! The staff were super friendly and both the beer and food was great! They cook the pizzas in a pizza oven so they get a nice char and lovely flavour and the portions were good. The only feedback I would have is that it's a bit pricey.

Great pub, and suuuuch gooood and huuuuve pizzaaaaaa. Expect to spend about £25p/p including 1 or 2 drinks - but it’s totally worth it

The best pizza in Guildford hands down! Been here many times and always had a great experience. Friendly staff and fantastic food. Cannot fault this place and have taken many friends and family members, never to disappoint. Excellent local beer and cider too

Really lovely atmosphere outdoors and inside as well. Staff seem really nice and friendly. Also like that they had some local beers available on tap.

Wow, what a pizza....really enjoyed the whole experience. Well done Ship Inn.

Best pizza I've ever had. Generous and tasty salad. Loved the food and atmosphere. Great selection of beers. Will definitely go back and would recommend.

I'm still yet to have a pizza better than the ones here! Always get your money's worth and more with the pizzas and drinks. Jeremy and the team put in so much care to make sure every guest has the best service possible and you really do feel the amount of care they put in. Miss this place every day!

Amazing Pizzas and innovative toppings - Yum !

Easily my favourite pub in Guildford. Lovely cosy atmosphere and excellent (and generously sized) pizzas. Contacted the pub about hosting a large group for my boyfriends birthday, which they happily accommodated. They were also kind enough to serve the cake I brought with me (most places get funny about this kind of thing). Special mention for Jenny, Jeremy and Melinda for being super responsive over email and helping to organise this special occasion :)

Ye Olde Ship Inn never disappoints, friendly staff, great atmosphere, and the best pizza’s in town 👌 New opening hrs also, now open Tuesday - Sunday

Friendly staff and great service. Our pizza was massive. Dog-friendly pub with dog treats for dogs

Amazing place. Staff is outstanding, food is amazing and very good price. We will definitely recommend this place.

I'd been recommended this pub a few times and it didn't disappoint. The staff are always incredibly friendly and super welcoming. The beer selection is great and the pizzas are unmissable. Would highly recommend for anyone around the area !!

Best pizza for miles. Great pub too

Great pizza and great whisky ;)

The Olde Ship looked after 13 of us of all ages for a very happy family gathering in the back room. We shared 8 enormous crisp thin pizzas, 2 salads and lots of ice cream. Service was friendly and helpful. It was just right.

Lovely traditional pub with great pizza.

This was a random but delicious find after fixing our car and a grocery run - their recommended, the angry duck at 17 inch was simply scrumptious! We were warned that it was slightly spicy but the heat was mild for both of us. They were serving mulled wine and it was an added delight too. Worth a repeat visit - but might want to consider reserving for dinner time. visited: 9 Dec, 2023

Wow, what a find! Lovely old pub. Best Pizzas we ever had and were simply outstanding, side salads and chips just terrific. Portions are extremely generous. Thoroughly recommended. We shall be back soon.

Lovely cosy pub serving a great pint of Guiness and a decent wine list. The wood-fired pizzas are the highlight and well worth a visit to try these out. Also, I've never had chips slathered in melted blue cheese and onion before but I definitely will again! Perfect place for a lazy Sunday afternoon, highly recommended.

The only downside is the parking

Fantastic little pub. Good beer, friendly staff, reasonably priced and really lovely building. Plus the pizza is absolutely incredible (warning they're very generously sized). Very much worth a visit, I highly recommend.

Always love The Ship. Pizzas to die for

Nice local pub specialising in pizzas! Very friendly staff, always make you feel welcome. Big variety of oven baked pizzas to choose from. Thin crust and huge! There's a nice little outside area at the back, ideal for those not so cold days or nights. Definitely recommend it!

Lovely old pub with pretty pub garden. Dog friendly.

A great pub just off the river and North Downs Way. Amazing pizzas and a decent selection of beers.

Fantastic food and really nice staff. Such a cosy place we loved it!

Best pizza in Guildford...or Surrey even.

It was my first time visiting this pub, and I instantly felt the warm and friendly atmosphere. We had a room at the back for a birthday celebration. The pizza, especially the vegan one, was delicious. Excellent service, food and friendly staff. I highly recommend this venue and I’d like to visit again soon.

Very close to where I was living, But seems closed 2 days a week.

Good place to have an amazing pizza!

Possibly the best pizza in Surrey in a friendly relaxed environment.

Proper English pub, with proper Olde world charm....ironically serving better Pizzas than I've had in Rome 😁 well worth a visit.

Wicked pizza, great staff, very helpful and friendly.

Forget Pizza Express and just come here…The pizzas are cooked to order, come out hot and the crust shatters when you first cut into it. The actual pizza is delicious topped off a with great range of toppings from fennel sausage, or beef pepperoni to the ships classic which is what I went for capers,anchovy, chilli, grand Padano and mozzarella. The range of beers is great as well along with the service. Booking is advisable as it was busy even in a Wednesday. The best pizza I’ve had…and I’ve eaten a few in Italy.

When you ask your sat nav to suggest pizza and pub this is exactly what you want

Lovely old pub, and very peaceful. Happy to come back for a pizza and a pint.

Lovely little pub, regular after work on a Friday pint. Staff friendly and the pizza's smell divine(haven't managed to try one as always booked out on a Friday evening - would definitely recommend ringing in advance if you want to eat).

A random pit stop as we drove through the mild ulcer otherwise known as Guildford Town Centre. We sat inside as the outside is probably a tad noisy with a busy road running right past (a product of being an 'olde' tavern). Really lovely staff, a fab IPA, and very good food. They specialise in Pizzas so the menu is essentially pizzas but they are all authentic and delicious. We also ordered the Nachos (I hadn't had any in years - mainly because you know that the moment you order them you are bound to be disappointed) but these were exceptional. Our thanks to the kitchen and the staff for a lovely Sunday afternoon. We will be back!

Nice old pub doing a good selection of beers and lagers, but the real pull is their pizzas! These are hand-stretched, wood-fired gems, that are absolutely delicious! They're also huge, but you can ask for a box to take leftovers home should you not be match-fit! Last year they had a chef who was really heavy on the garlic oil (to the point that I would ask for a plain Margherita and then load it with pepperoni, mushrooms, etc), but they have a new one now who produces much more balanced flavours in their stock pizzas. Staff are also really friendly. You definitely need to book though - as people know about the place! One word of warning is the car park - it's small and very tight (it's a 1-way U-bend basically), so if you own a wide, long, or just very expensive car, you might be better parking it in Chestnut Avenue, about 100m away.

A nice little pub with inside and outside seating. Inside was nice and cool, though a bit dark. Outside was in a covered area but was hotter than inside. Drinks were nice. Mount cider and cocktails available. Limited range of non alcoholic drinks. Nice place for a little social. Was quiet on Friday around 4pm. Fully booked at 6pm though.

A night out with 5 of us. Table booked at 7.30, food arrived at 9.20. We weren't approached in between this time for more drinks/nibbles. A lady came to us at 8.55 to say another 15 mins and we'll be next. We were busy chatting and hadn't realised how late it was! Our waitress was lovely when we saw her. When they eventually came, the pizzas were very tasty. I'm wondering if they were prioritising take aways, had an oven problem, or had just lost our order, it wasn't explained, but we all got a later night than expected.

Consistently excellent food! My favourite pub serving delicious dishes and a fab atmosphere. The team are all wonderful and I have to try hard not to go every week! It’s so good :)

Best bitter shandy I ever had and the size of the pizza is humongous and really tasty.

We were looking for some place to have lunch near to where we dropped off our friend, and this seemed interesting. It wasn't until we got there that we discovered they basically only served pizza. The pizza was excellent. They come as very large pies, but very thin, so it's not too much food. The crust is particularly crispy. Very flavourful all around. I would note that their car park is a little cramped and, though I managed to get my larger car in and out, my wife's smaller car would have been better.

Cracking pizza with mates whilst on a course, will be back to sample some more.

Great pub, local beer - massive pizzas, I'd share one unless you're absolutely starving!

The pizza is freaking good! Very original mix of ingredients, size and dough (very thin and crispy). We love it and will keep getting back...

Always great pizza. We love it!

Wholesome and very friendly staff, the oven pizza is amazing as well

Pizza was terrific. Had to order extra portion of Parmesan chips .

An old favorite, great pizzas but too pricey these days!

Excellent enormous pizzas made to order

Staff super friendly . Good selection on draft . Best pizza EVER . A little pricey ( £6.15 for peroni ) but isn't everywhere !?

The food is really, really good!

Superb delicious large thin crust pizzas. Great drinks and atmosphere in old low beamed pub.

Lovely pub and super nice staff :)

Great service, great wine and lovely yummy pizza. Thank you. D :)

Absolutely amazing pizzas... have been eating there after mountain biking for a few years and they never disappoint. Perhaps more importantly (or equally importantly?!) The beer is always great and the staff are friendly.

Great pizza. Really nice staff with fantastic service

Incredibly friendly staff and great pizzas!

Best pizza I've ever eaten and owners are delightful 😊

Went here a few months ago and it was a great experience. The massive pizzas were the shining stars and, considering their size, didn't fail the taste test. The team were also great and ensured our large group we're well looked after. Would highly recommend

Good ale, amazing pizzas (by the way they are HUGE!), Really nice atmosphere. Great pub!

Good beer. Friendly staff. Amazingly huge pizzas. Really excellent. Recommended

What a find! Stumbled upon this place by accident. Incredible pizzas, and they fed us for lunch and dinner, just huge. Special shout out to the side of garlic mayo, the best we've ever had. Somewhere that clearly pays attention to the small details. Will go out of our way to come back again, thank you!

Adorable pub with a lovely atmosphere. We were there for drinks following a long walk, and it was cosy. If you need to stop for a while or grab a bite, give it a shot

Great pizza 🍕 dog friendly Great staff

Incredible, huge pizza's with some great topping options, especially if you like meat. Also have a gluten free option of a less impressive size. The menu had a few other tempting options but I would've had food envy had I not had pizza. Service was efficient and friendly. Great selection of lagers but didn't have any trendy ipa's. Very tight car park so if you have a big car, you might struggle if it's busy. Well worth it just for the pizza.

We've been there a few times and their Pizza's are tasty, very big and good value, we prefer them over the bigger chain pizza places so well worth a try.

Great pub, nice ambiance, and fantastic pizzas.

Lovely atmosphere and a really nice selection of pizzas! Didn't realize we could take the leftovers home so was jealous of my colleagues that got the big pizza (and then ate it the next day) when I knew I wouldn't be able to finish it! Nice choices for no dairy too 👌

Best pizza I have ever had. Staff are lovely and they guide you through the options. I cannot rate this place too highly. Parking a bit tight in a SUV, but this pub would get 10 stars if I could give them! 👍
