Modernity meets rustic at this pub, on the main road in the eastern suburbs of Guildford, with a nod towards it horse racing heritage. A light and airy pub restaurant, which caters primarily for residents from the nearby estates and families coming from a bit further afield for meals. There are two dining areas, interlinked by more informal seating, with copper topped tables, all served from a single semi-circular bar. Food is also available to take away, or delivered via Deliveroo. The walls display a number of pieces of wooden art. Upstairs is a single room decked out like a medieval banqueting hall, with a mock fireplace and chandelier made of old gin bottles.
Historic Interest
The Horse and Groom is dated to 1778 and is possibly 17th century in origin. Up to 1813 the inn was called 'The Hare and Hounds' which most probably related to the hare warren and the 'sport' of hare coursing which took place on the Downs. It then changed its name to the Running Horse until 1831; Merrow was the home of one of England's most famous race courses from 1701 to 1870.
This Pub serves 1 changing beer and 2 regular beers.
