Positano
124A High St, Tunsgate, Guildford GU1 3HQ, UK | Italian Restaurant P: 01483 563277
Rating: 4.8 (2048) Price Level:
Fantastic meal at Positano last night. Superb attentive service whilst not being intrusive. Not been here for several years, as previous experience was not what we expected. However so glad we tried them again and it won’t be the last time. Garlic bread was delicious - so good we forgot to take a photo. I had the risotto and can easily say it was the best I have tasted. My husband had the fish special was equally delicious. The suggested wine pairing was perfect. The puddings rounded off a great night. So give Positano a try and we’ll probably see you there as we are definitely coming back.

This Italian restaurant is absolutely fantastic! The atmosphere is incredibly cozy and inviting, making it perfect for a relaxed and enjoyable dining experience. The staff are authentic Italians, adding an extra touch of charm and authenticity to the service. And the food? Simply divine! Every dish is bursting with flavor and truly 100% Italian. I highly recommend this place—it’s a must-try for anyone who loves Italian cuisine. You won’t be disappointed!

This was our first visit to the area so we asked a shop assistant if she could recommend a nice place for a birthday lunch. Without hesitation she recommended Positano. We were so glad she did. Everything was just brilliant from start to finish. The food was absolutely delicious (we had the fried chicken in a white wine mushroom sauce and the salmon with spinach and crushed potatoes😋), the staff were very friendly and attentive throughout all in a lovely relaxing atmosphere too. Thank you for my birthday candle in my dessert it was a lovely thoughtful touch and most certainly the icing on the cake after a wonderful lunch! 😃🥰🎂

Beautiful lunch with my neighbour at Positano. I’ve wanted to come here hit a long time but it was always fully booked. Today we had a great lunch, great service, and great atmosphere. Food was delicious and the best tiramisù I’ve had in a long time. Brilliant, I’ll take other friends here too.

Had been meaning to visit for a while but this morning saw my first visit. It will not be my last. Excellent filter coffee and Eggs Benedict. Great friendly service. What a perfect way to start a Tuesday!!
Rating: 5 / 5
Adorable cafe with inside and outdoor seating. I saw on the menu they do a pre-book afternoon tea as well! The loose leaf jasmine tea was a bit strong, but the pot was a very nice piece and my avocado toast was the delish. They compensated for our group of 6 and we all paid separately very easily!

I go to Natters for a filter coffee and a cake every day and have done so for many years. The best ''Guest' filter coffee is precision made at the table, the cakes (my favourite are Tiffins) are Vegan. The coffee and all their cakes are excellent. The young staff are friendly, kind and hard working. When it's very busy there can be a delay but it's worth the wait. The best place for coffee in the area.
Rating: 5 / 5
The food was amazing and staff were great, they accommodated to my dietary needs without hesitation(which are not the easiest to accommodate to!). The food tasted great and the service was top notch. Not forgetting this cafe makes the best coffee I’ve ever had and the staff are always happy to help if you’re not sure what to choose from the menu. Great experience 10/10

The Star Inn

Rating: 4.7 (752) Price Level:
Beyond expectations. I arrived at the pub with my family and they found me a table even without a reservation. Great music and atmosphere. We ordered a Star Burger each, a generous dish even if the burger alone was a bit dry but well cooked. The price paid is absolutely fair.
Rating: 5 / 5
We needed a night away and randomly chose Godalming, having seen The Star as a highly rated pub that sold good beer and had a nice menu. We reserved a table thanks goodness as it was packed. A really nice atmosphere and the queues at the bar were no problem as the service was quick. An older blind couple sat next to us and the staff there were lovely with them, sitting and reading the menu to help them choose what they wanted, then returning to see how things were and whether they needed a drink. Such a friendly pub we had a great night. And when we were unsure how many of the sharing plates to order we were told that 2 and a dish of the chips might be enough to start with. It was, glad we didn’t order the 4 dishes that we were going to. Would highly recommend the pub, but book in advance if you want a seat.
Rating: 5 / 5
Wonderful pub for any beer lover. Lovely staff. One of the best! Not eat here yet so can’t rate but I have had multiple visits for a drink and never disappointed by the choice of beer and cider. Brew there own beer too which is fantastic

Fantastic little spot in Godalming. Was here on the Tuesday for Chip Shop night and the fish and chips were pretty good. Tonight is burger night so expecting good things. Helped by some great cask ales. Available in paddles too. What’s not to love?

Really exceptional Indian Restaurant - hidden gem! Menu is varied and food is excellent...and very reasonably priced. Service is fast, friendly and attentive. We can't wait to come back!

Beautiful little restaurant with delicious food and extremely kind staff. The restaurant has an amazing atmosphere, with cosy tables, and the customers all seemed to be nice. I’ve been to the restaurant a couple of times, and each time the service has been incredible, the staff are kind and patient, and ask how the meals are. And the food was absolutely delicious, I don’t think I can think of any negatives.

A gem of a restaurant, found it by chance but what a find it was. The staff are delightfully friendly and helpful, the menu contains a good selection of dishes and the restaurant itself has a nice quiet charm. Its location near the Farncombe train station is perfect if you are traveling and need something to eat, or are just generally in the area. Definitely check it out!

Delicious food, excellent service and lovely ambiance. Wonderful for small or large group meals. Amazing place to bring your friends and loved ones. We had a great time here! Would definitely come back again. ☺️
Rating: 5 / 5
We visited this restaurant with friends last night and everything about our evening was faultless. The staff were welcoming, attentive and precise in every detail. The food was exceptional - fresh, colourful, beautifully seasoned, expertly cooked and not in the least oily as some Indian dishes can be. We all ate from the Tandoori section of the menu, chose a variety of sides and finished with coffee. My brandy was served in a warm and pleasing glass which made for heavenly sipping! We will return often I predict!

Acorn Restaurant
10-14 Wharf St, Godalming GU7 1NN, UK | Mediterranean Restaurant P: 01483 427273
Rating: 4.7 (274) Price Level:
My personal experience of Acorn was fantastic. Went for the catalan bread to start/share which was unusual and interesting... Best described as a cross between a foccacia and a pizza. Main was the sharing hot seafood platter. This wasn't what I had in mind when I think platter. It's more a collection of seafood within a seafood bisque. Naming preconceptions aside it was DELICIOUS. perfectly cooked lobster scallops, monkfish and prawns in a rich seafood bisque bursting with flavour and rich intensity. It was outstanding. Desserts were a catalan version of pain perdu which was very pleasant. The tarte tatin was the better dessert for us though.. Bitter, sticky caramel balanced by the sweet apple heavy top. Served with a tangy and sweet whipped yoghurt. Service was very friendly and efficient. Chef likes talking to the customers which adds a very personal touch. Ambience slightly lacking but less to do with gwthw overall decor and lighting which was nice enough.. But more to do with the fact it was a midweek dinner and the restaurant was relatively empty. Although in my opinion it shouldn't be.. We had a terrific experience and will definitely come back again to try other dishes.
Rating: 5 / 5
First time at Acorn Restaurant, and I wish we could have attend it much sooner! Exceptional food and service. Instead of having a regular practice of starting off the dinner with the starters and the main, we were advised to have a “flight” with the selections of starters. Indeed a valuable advise, and our experience was more than delightful. High quality food, and very reasonably priced for the quality of food that exceeds many respectable businesses in London. We will be coming back to explore the rest of the menu, and will be excited for every upcoming specials. Thank you!
Rating: 5 / 5
I understand that it’s Spanish fusion but I wished they didn’t put too much of chorizo flavour as my choice of the menu were v limited. I don’t eat pork. So I had gambas for starter and the hot seafood as a main. It was too much of almost the same thing except of course the main was a bigger portion with lobster and fish in it. The staff serving us were friendly and polite. Cosy deco.
Rating: 5 / 5
An absolute gem of a restaurant, the food was top notch, super fresh and really varied but with a lovely Spanish flavour running throughout. The seafood options were excellent and I’d highly recommend it for that alone. Not cheap but fairly priced in my opinion for the quality you get. Service was relaxed but attentive and recommendations were readily given, clearly there are a lot of regulars too which is no surprise!
Rating: 5 / 5
Coming to this restaurant was a brilliant experience and now this place is our favourite place to go to for a steak in the area. All the food that we ordered was brilliant, but the highlight of our meal was a tomahawk - perfect cut of meat cooked exactly as we liked it. The staff was very friendly and nice and had great recommendations for the wine, and the chef came out to greet us and chat to us throughout the meal which was an extra bonus The place itself is very cozy and cute and it’s easy to find parking

Great, middle of nowhere country pub. We visited today after our 6 mile hike. The pub is dog friendly, which was great for us as we had borrowed our friends dog for the day. Dog bowls located inside French doors in patio garden area, with a huge keg outside to fill them. Car park is spacious. Play area. Nice, clean restaurant and toilets. Food was served quickly and was presented beautifully, hot and with a friendly smile. Not overly priced, a lovely atmosphere and made to feel very welcome. We will return.

Booked this lovely pub for our 21st Wedding Anniversary as I have passed it many a time on bike rides with my club and always thought of giving it a try. The pub is in a lovely setting in the Surrey Hills and has a lovely country/gastro pub vibe to it with good parking and spacious garden area with rattan furniture. Inside is very modern and clean, staff are super friendly and attentive, with food coming out in a very timely manner. The menu has lots to choose from with plenty of vegan options so shouldn't be issues with food selection. Drinks are of a good selection with a cocktail menu and are freshly made without pre-made syrups. All in all a great place to celebrate our anniversary and if you're not celebrating anything, a lovely place to eat and drink in the Surrey Hills.

I read somewhere that this place boasts the best Roast in the county, and they're not wrong. Big, hearty portions with a great range of offerings in additions to the classics. Desserts were the surprise package, get the Yorkie & Butter pudding, unbelievable Jeff. Staff looked after us really well and the setting is delightful. Top marks all round!

Been here twice now and will definitely return. Food is a little pricey but it is worth it. Great menu with lots of tasty vegan options for starters, mains and dessert. Had the garlic flatbread with black olive tepenade, banana blossom "fish" and chips with mushy peas and tartare sauce and to finish, sticky toffee pudding with oat flat white. All really lovely and service was brilliant. Look forward to returning.

A fantastic new addition to the area, great staff, fabulous food and good beer. From the moment we walked in we were welcomed not only by the staff, but the pub itself is inviting, light and well set out, it felt large and cosy at the same time. The menu wasn’t massive which is sometimes a positive, and this was definitely one of those occasions, because the items they did have on the menu were done really well. (I must caveat the photos are taken after a few pieces of squid and wings were taken, so the portion sizes look smaller than they were) We had the Korean bbq wings and the Squid to the start. The wings had a good kick to them and the squid came with a lovely chilli jam. For mains 3 of us had Meat burgers and 1 of us had the Veggie burger, none of us were dissatisfied or disappointed. The meat was good well, and the burger was juicy with a nice portion of crispy chips. All in all it was a great pub meal and not to pricey either. The beer selection was good something for everyone, I had my go to Neck oil. We were all really impressed and will definitely be back again soon. This is the first time we’ve been here over the years we’ve lived in the area. I think since we have lived here it’s changed hands 3 times, the last owners made it a bikers pub, we always wanted to go in, but the sign saying bikers only did put us off a little. They soon took that sign down and opened it to the public.

Went for New Years Eve and it was great. The food is amazing and so well priced. They called early in the day as we were arriving later in the evening so we could preorder. £75 for mains, starters, sides and a couple of drinks each. Also did their Sunday roast recently and again food was fantastic. Highly recommend.
Rating: 5 / 5
We have been for a Sunday roast here for the past 3 weeks and brought friends and family along with us, all agree it's the best pub roast they have had in a long time. The selection of veg is great, delicious meat and plenty of gravy. Our dog Molly loves it there too and enjoys her little doggy bag at the end. Friendly, attentive staff and very reasonably priced. The place has a great, friendly, local pub vibe! Shhh don't tell anyone!

We have tried almost ever pub/restaurant in the area now. The Charterhouse is 100% the best choice for steak! Every time it has been perfect. 👌 The landlord is a legend, the chef is very good and always a friendly welcome/atmosphere (the pub dog is also very funny!). Thank you for all the great meals!

Lovely building. Friendly staff. Tried some of the "nibbles" on the menu which were superb ! The mains were Crispy Beef on Salad with Cashews ( Excellent ) and A Quiche Lorraine which , my partner, felt was far too oniony for her tastes. Having said that, we enjoyed our experience and we will come back again soon.
