Pub
The Refectory
Sunday roast beef with gravy, a wide range of local beers and a patio make this traditional Godalming pub a steady draw for gastro-style cooking any day of the week.
The story
The Refectory is a traditional British pub with a charming interior that invites lingering, a patio outside and a restaurant that hums gently with groups chatting over long meals. The drinks selection is broad and includes various local beers, so it works as well for a pint as for a full dinner. The kitchen turns out gastro-style pub food. Sunday roast beef comes tender and juicy with gravy and vegetables, while fish and chips and scampi are other strong choices. Diners with coeliac disease are well looked after: the chef uses gluten-free flour and keeps a separate fryer for gluten-free dishes. A strong, smooth coffee rounds off the meal, and tables are not hurried even late in service.
