The Stoke, Guildford

Lovely pub.

It has a nice range of seating/tables and a lively but relaxed atmosphere. Drinks are very reasonably priced (for Guildford) and there are always a few real ales on. Notably, a V.S.O.P Covoursier is less than �3 (�2.70 I believe).

The pizzas are decent and also sensibly priced, but some of the bar snacks are a bit steep. �1.20 for a bag of crisps? They may be Tyrrel's but come on.

There is a good mix of customers and age ranges which is nice to see, and the mentioned DJ nights happen in the function room rather than the pub itself. Anyway Mr 'Reasonable', since when has the presence of a DJ been associated with 'yobbish culture'?

The Boileroom, Guildford

If it wasn't for all the emos, the irritating sound restrictions and the poor range of drinks (which are also pretty pricey) this place could be excellent. Guildford did need a place like this, just a shame it's missed the mark.
