The Royal Oak, Guildford

dominoeffect - this isn't a personal attack at you. I don't know you or anyone else who works there. This website is a pub rating website. The point of it is that you can see what customers think of the pub. I am simply giving my opinion.

The Royal Oak used to be an amazing, quirky pub run by great people with bubbly, friendly staff. It had a warm, welcoming atmosphere. The beer was great (with a guest ale that was usually pretty fitting for the time of year etc).

From my, a punter, point of view things have changed - that atmosphere that made the pub it was has gone and watching the landlord barking at the staff (which I have personally witnessed) doesn't make for a nice relaxing pint.

Try not to be appauled - there are much more pressing things in life to worry about than a beer forum!!

Hmm well surely people should be able to make their own minds up about it taking into consideration the negative comments??! It isn't a bad pub - just mundane and boring with miserable staff and a rude and extremely dodgy landlord who is up to no good most of the time.

This is such a wonderful pub. Full of character and great people. A great night out on a weekend and also good for quieter beers during the week. Can't fault it - the only REAL pub left in Guildford and I hope it stays that way. The landlord is crazy but in such a quirky and marvelous way - the way landlords should be. Keep up the good work!!
