Came in here for the first time for lunch this week. I will not be returning. Food was ok, nothing special. But the rudeness and arrogance of staff will stay with me for a long time. When the bill came I noticed there was a an optional 10% service charge. As we had to wait a while to order and for the bill itself, I felt it reasonable to opt against the service charge as is my right. When I asked the waitress, she said ‘are you leaving cash instead then?’ I said no I don’t want to pay it. She then said ‘I can speak to the manager if you don’t want to pay it’. I ended up paying it against my will. She made the situation completely uncomfortable and was rude and aggressive in her approach. To make matters worse, she then could be heard moaning about me to a colleague saying ‘he wouldn’t pay for service’ and they turned their backs, clearly being unkind. I will not return to the Old Guinea and will be sharing my experience with many others in the local area. Plenty of restaurants in the area who don’t treat paying guests with such contempt. AVOID

Excellent Italian pizza and pizza with amazing outside seating and great views. Good choice of beers and wines. A perfect summers evening, with good service.Vegetarian options: Vegetarian pizza or pasta is very good. I even noticed a dish for veganParking: The Old Guinea has it's own car park but if it's not possible as it can get full, the is plenty of off-street parking

Beautiful place with a great view. The atmosphere and service are great, and the food is amazing.

An instant favourite and clearly a place I’d overlooked. It’s popular, so booking is a must. TheOld Guinea offers Italian food in a bright, scenic setting. We went before they’d opened the outside seating, but I can imagine it only gets better in the summer. The pizza was good and the desserts were generous. We’ll be back!

Came here for my birthday with half a dozen friends, the food was excellent, even the deserts, which are often bought in, Not the case here!Staff are lovely and attentive, when we got there they were fully occupied, so there was a little wait for drinks, but as soon as it thinned out a little, that disappeared and drinks were then instantaneous.The food was never affected by how busy it got.TLDR Great little Gem in the countryside, will be rebooking in summer as I anticipate it will an absolute jewel.Parking: There are a limited no of parking space, but there is street parking. Advice, be a bit early to find it!Kid-friendliness: We visited post 1900hrs, you could bring kids then, but it's not geared towards that.From our experience with the staff I'm sure they will do what they can, but it's not their focus, which is fair.Wheelchair accessibility: There are a couple of steps, so have a helper with you if your mobility is restricted. I think a chair would manage as long as you had someone who knew what they were doing with you.

Always excellent. Often, it gets very busy, but service has always been prompt and friendly.
Katherine Antoniou
Great little find.We had the carbonara, buratta salad and the kids menu. Cannot fault the food and service. Looking forward to visiting again soon.

The meal could have been hotter.We were quite disappointed and probably won't go there for breakfast again.Normally there lunches and evening meals are excellent.
Food bland. Tasteless. All the dishes out of 4 meals were

Nice looking pub. Front of house were not particularly welcoming. Supposed to have great pizzas but our experience was not good - the pizza base was almost fried and very crispy, not baked. Calamari starter was most likely from frozen. On the positive side, the Cornish bitter went down a treat. A pity overall because we won't be returning.
