Fantastic little pub. Good beer, friendly staff, reasonably priced and really lovely building. Plus the pizza is absolutely incredible (warning they're very generously sized). Very much worth a visit, I highly recommend.

Nice local pub specialising in pizzas!Very friendly staff, always make you feel welcome.Big variety of oven baked pizzas to choose from. Thin crust and huge!There's a nice little outside area at the back, ideal for those not so cold days or nights.Definitely recommend it!

It was my first time visiting this pub, and I instantly felt the warm and friendly atmosphere. We had a room at the back for a birthday celebration. The pizza, especially the vegan one, was delicious. Excellent service, food and friendly staff. I highly recommend this venue and I’d like to visit again soon.Dietary restrictions: Veggie and vegan options

Forget Pizza Express and just come here…The pizzas are cooked to order, come out hot and the crust shatters when you first cut into it.The actual pizza is delicious topped off a with great range of toppings from fennel sausage, or beef pepperoni to the ships classic which is what I went for capers,anchovy, chilli, grand Padano and mozzarella.The range of beers is great as well along with the service.Booking is advisable as it was busy even in a Wednesday.The best pizza I’ve had…and I’ve eaten a few in Italy.

Lovely little pub, regular after work on a Friday pint. Staff friendly and the pizza's smell divine(haven't managed to try one as always booked out on a Friday evening - would definitely recommend ringing in advance if you want to eat).

A random pit stop as we drove through the mild ulcer otherwise known as Guildford Town Centre. We sat inside as the outside is probably a tad noisy with a busy road running right past (a product of being an 'olde' tavern). Really lovely staff, a fab IPA, and very good food. They specialise in Pizzas so the menu is essentially pizzas but they are all authentic and delicious. We also ordered the Nachos (I hadn't had any in years - mainly because you know that the moment you order them you are bound to be disappointed) but these were exceptional. Our thanks to the kitchen and the staff for a lovely Sunday afternoon. We will be back!

We were looking for some place to have lunch near to where we dropped off our friend, and this seemed interesting. It wasn't until we got there that we discovered they basically only served pizza.The pizza was excellent. They come as very large pies, but very thin, so it's not too much food. The crust is particularly crispy. Very flavourful all around.I would note that their car park is a little cramped and, though I managed to get my larger car in and out, my wife's smaller car would have been better.

Nice old pub doing a good selection of beers and lagers, but the real pull is their pizzas! These are hand-stretched, wood-fired gems, that are absolutely delicious! They're also huge, but you can ask for a box to take leftovers home should you not be match-fit!Last year they had a chef who was really heavy on the garlic oil (to the point that I would ask for a plain Margherita and then load it with pepperoni, mushrooms, etc), but they have a new one now who produces much more balanced flavours in their stock pizzas. Staff are also really friendly. You definitely need to book though - as people know about the place!One word of warning is the car park - it's small and very tight (it's a 1-way U-bend basically), so if you own a wide, long, or just very expensive car, you might be better parking it in Chestnut Avenue, about 100m away.

Consistently excellent food! My favourite pub serving delicious dishes and a fab atmosphere. The team are all wonderful and I have to try hard not to go every week! It’s so good :)

A nice little pub with inside and outside seating.Inside was nice and cool, though a bit dark. Outside was in a covered area but was hotter than inside.Drinks were nice. Mount cider and cocktails available. Limited range of non alcoholic drinks.Nice place for a little social. Was quiet on Friday around 4pm. Fully booked at 6pm though.Parking: There are about 10 spots of parking, awkward to get into as it's angled.

This place is an absolute gem, great service, amazing pizzas and a good drinks selection. We are returning customers and never find fault. If you haven’t been and love pizza, you must go!

The pizza is freaking good! Very original mix of ingredients, size and dough (very thin and crispy). We love it and will keep getting back...

Lizzie Turner

An old favorite, great pizzas but too pricey these days!

William Thompson

Superb delicious large thin crust pizzas. Great drinks and atmosphere in old low beamed pub.

Staff super friendly . Good selection on draft . Best pizza EVER . A little pricey ( £6.15 for peroni ) but isn't everywhere !?
