About The Horse & Groom

The Horse & Groom balances traditional pub character with a more polished gastropub feel, serving modern British pub food in a relaxed, family-friendly setting near Guildford. The large garden is a major draw in warmer months, while the interiors stay cosy and social throughout the year. It works best as an easy, dependable local spot for roasts, drinks and long weekend lunches rather than a destination fine-dining pub.
