The New Inn — Restaurant in Guildford

Truly fabulous location. It's probably one of the best locations around in fact. They have a small yet perfectly sized garden area adjacent and joined onto the river so is accessible by boat or from the river tow pass which is handy for those summer bike riders. It really is beautiful and on a nice day, you will easily forget about any dentist appointments, tax returns and unconditional love as you inhale serene surroundings and subtle sounds of the river and its inhabitants. They hold music events with sounds ranging from classic cover bands right up to DJs playing ibiza sounds so definitely worth a look if your a glowstick guy or gal. The New Inn has a huge variety of food on the menu and is reasonably priced. It's not a modern place but has a modern feel. It's not fancy and you feel at home as you enter regardless. Staff are lovely and I can't wait to return. I'll be surprised if this place is not already or soon to be on a best pub list somewhere and quite near the top. I will keep going and report back soon. Scampi and chips was as expected. The food is not why I would return but is perfectly edible and I have...

Food was great and the location is beautiful.

The only slight comment was that the reserved seating area isn't waterproof whereas the first come first serve area is. Seemed a little strange as we booked a table outside, but in the rain it wasn't suitable, but the 'first come first serve' tables were under waterproof cover. My only suggestion would be to have reservations on the dry tables as people that have prebooked may have travelled some distance to the pub. We travelled from near Gatwick Airport to meet friends and nearly didn't have a table avaliable even though we booked.

Not enough to knock a star off though as we had a great time and we're lucky that a table in the waterproof area left as we were looking for a dry table. Lovely place, good staff and the food...

Been meaning to visit The New Inn for a long time and the perfect opportunity arose today for a walk followed by a pub lunch.

Plenty of tables outside with some undercover which was reassuring given the changeable weather. Lovely views of the Wey Navigation from all outside tables.

The food was excellent with rave reviews for the ploughman's and ceaser salad in particular. Good quality and really generous portions. The house Rosé was very nice at £23/bottle.

Will definitely use again.

Only one very minor gripe was that the mustard for the outside tables looked like it had spent just a little too long outside in the sun. Perhaps could do with a freshen up.

But overall excellent and highly...
