The best restaurants serving British food in Guildford South East

Very disappointing visit as used to be a lovely pub. No precautions in place for covid - no details being taken from visitors and just 1 small token bottle of hand sanitiser on the bar. Big groups of very young people (made me feel old in mid-30s!)with no attempt at social distancing. Toilets were dirty and smelly. Won't be going back!

This was our first visit for Sunday lunch. The food was excellent and the service very friendly and efficient. Well done to all the staff.

Another great lunch at the Weyside; had another delicious roast - a Sunday favourite. We’re weekly regulars and can attest to both quality of food, location and customer service.

Large pub which is very popular with students from Surrey University. Busy, even though visited after lunchtime rush. Opted for service via the Wetherspoons app and food and drink arrived quickly and efficiently.

Cannot fault the restaurant at all! I have a dairy allergy and the staff were beyond accommodating - they could make almost every dish dairy free and I even had a selection of 3 desserts! Service was brilliant and the food was lovely☺️

Sports Bar with a great atmosphere and remarkably good pizza. At first look, it's not obvious that it offers food and, whilst it's not a large menu, the quality of the food is excellent. We had a great Friday night - thank you to the team!

Travelling by train from my sleepy home village of Emsworth to the cosmopolitan city of Oxford on a very hot Saturday in April 2025 I decided to break my journey at each of the railway stations which had a J. D. Wetherspoon chain pub within easy walking distance, and call in to enjoy a bottle of cold Aspall's cider, which happens to be one of my favourite brands. The Rodboro Buildings is a large Wetherspoon pub, spread over three floors of a historic former motor car factory, on Bridge Street, between five and ten minutes on foot from Guildford railway station. For a Saturday lunchtime the establishment was surprisingly quiet, with a mainly middle-aged or elderly clientele and University students notable only by their absence. My 500 ml bottle of Aspall's Cider set me back a very reasonable GBP 3:84. There were plenty of 240 Volt, 3-Pin and 5 Volt USB electric power sockets dotted around the bar from which to recharge the battery of my laptop computer, although the ones downstairs near the former dance floor were switched off and the staff on duty didn't know how to turn them on. The men's toilets were clean and well maintained. Service was prompt, polite and efficient. The tables were cleaned regularly and the soles of my boxfresh Reebok training shoes did not adhere to the bespoke carpet when I walked across it. I never got round to trying the coffee or the tea!

We drove up here from the south coast to sample the cafeteria and generally check out the lay of the land since I last worked at the Gardens back in the early 80s. It being a bitterly cold day, we didn't visit the gardens themselves. We made a bee line for the cafeteria which is nicely set out. The serving staff were pleasant enough but we were shocked by the prices. For our party of 5 having just some simple teas and hot drinks we left 22 quid at the pay desk! We looked at the prices and simply laughed at them charging 6 quid for a sausage roll. I don't mind paying for good, high quality things but we all thought that the prices here were ridiculous. Pity.

Give this one a skip. We ordered the chicken pasta x 2 and margarita pizza. The pasta had a watery spinach sauce and overcooked chicken. The pizza was borderline burnt. Also overpriced. The terrace is much better with fresh seasonal food and food portions.

Nice lunch; reasonable value for money; friendly service; airy light cafe; tasty specials and nice to do a bit of shopping afterwards;

I read the review of the golf course below from 2017 but nonetheless looked forward to my visit. I have too say that whoever designed the golf course did a great job and the layout is impressive. There were also a few greenkeepers out on the course keeping the bunkers raked etc. Overall though the condition of the course was disappointing with a capital D. The tees and fairways were scruffy and the first cut of rough poorly kept. The greens however were decent with few pitch marks thereon. The trouble with Merrist Wood is that it lies in the heart of rich golf territory but has clearly made a conscious effort not to compete with the better courses nearby and alas it shows. In the clubhouse the lights didn't work in the toilets and still didn't work four and a half hours later with calls into question the quality of the facilities management. Food and drink was competitively priced and of acceptable quality. Having played over 300 courses in the UK the big question is would I return? Despite the great layout the answer is very unlikely. Very nearly rated poor.

We visited this beautiful restaurant in the heart of Wisley and received great service and great food. We enjoyed the premium orange juice and the salad was very good.
