The White Hart, Wood Street

Hoorah our village pub has reopened!
The new food menu is extensive, reasonably priced, something for everyone here, and huge starters too! Sunday roasts are back. The beer is good well kept and at the moment Black Sheep and London Pride are on offer. New furnishings provide lots of leather sofas and tub chairs, and low leather cubes (are these for walkers to put their feet up?) The publican is friendly and welcoming, shows interest in his customers. We like it.

Yes this is a great place, only problem is it's a bit small for a largish group to sit and eat if all the locals are in, so get there early is my advice.

At the moment it is closed being refurbished, we locals wait with baited breath to see what type of establishment emerges- we can only hope for a return to the welcoming atmosphere from yesteryear with decent nosh good beer a warm real fire!

Hmm, well the locals really want to support this pub, but it's hard work and you need to be resilient to keep faith with the old place. Hidden away so no passing trade unless you're on bike foot or hoof, it should be serving its community but seems to be confused about who the customers are. Please rescue this pub someone and help secure the future of a crucial element of village life.

This is a cool charming and pleasnt experience for the intelligent diner. Listen in to locals chatting about the village pond or Horticultural Society chit chat, or sit next to another group and listen to professionals relaxing at the end of a hard week in the City and sharing views on the week's world events and news. In another corner find some young folks with lots of social talk and laughter planning their night out later in the week to Guildford Town centre. The atmosphere in this out of the way pub is eclectice and of course variable but the characters and ambience is interesting for the observant casual visitor. Now for the food, well Thursday to Sunday seems to be a lot better than Monday to Wednesday. The meat is supplied by a local specialist company, menus change fairly often and although occasionaly the chef gets it not quite right at leats she is experimenting, but if you catch one of these you could be mistaken in thinking all the food is at the same standard, the majoity of my experiences here have been very acceptable but then I eat here most weeks!
There is a rather drafty double sided fireplace, but on a warm evening its a great place to chill out with friends on the big squashy leather settees.
This pub has souls an dlocals and village cheer, enjoy and smile at me I may be the one standing at the bar, cheers.
