Guildford's Best Sunday Roasts
For young families seeking a serene escape from the hustle and bustle of London, Guildford beckons with its leafy charm and delightful pub grub. A tradition that Guildford takes seriously is the art of the Sunday roast – the best of classic British food that warms the heart as much as it pleases the tastebuds.
Here are some local gems where you can savour the best Sunday roasts, all within a quick 10-15 minute drive of our beautiful family homes at Old Portsmouth Road.
This recently refurbished Godalming pub has a charming and warm atmosphere, making it an ideal spot for a cosy Sunday roast with the family. Both the space and the food are the perfect blend of modern and traditional, and their Sunday roast ticks all the boxes, with succulent cuts of meat, big and fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and perfectly roasted vegetables all drizzled with a rich homemade gravy. Receive a warm welcome by their friendly staff, including Charlie and Archie, the two pub dogs.
Step into the warm embrace of the Red Lion Inn, where a sumptuous Sunday roast awaits. Located in the picturesque Surrey Hills and just 10 minutes from Old Portsmouth Road, this historic inn boasts charm, character and an idyllic setting. Their Sunday menu is a mouthwatering selection of roasts, from succulent beef to tender lamb, all served with crispy roast potatoes, seasonal vegetables, and rich gravy. The family-friendly atmosphere makes it a perfect choice for those with little ones in tow, and the spacious garden offers a delightful spot for post-meal strolls or playtime.
The Cyder House Inn may be a hidden gem nestled in the Surrey countryside, but their Sunday roasts are far from a well-kept secret. Here, Sundays are bustling as hungry walkers pile in for the famous roast. The Cyder House prides itself on using locally sourced, fresh ingredients, and after a hearty meal, diners can take a stroll in the lush surroundings, enjoy a drink on the terrace when weather permits or cosy up by the crackling fire – a Sunday well spent.
For a Sunday roast experience that raises tradition to gourmet heights, look no further than The Kinghams Restaurant. This award-winning spot, sitting in the quaint town of Shere (so quaint you might recognise it from The Holiday), is renowned for its elegant but welcoming ambiance and elevated British cuisine. From perfectly cooked meats to innovative vegetarian options, each dish is a masterpiece, and their Sunday roast is no exception. In summer, why not dine outside in the pretty garden with a heated gazebo.
This cosy, fuss-free gastropub in Woking combines rustic charm with excellent grub, making it ideal for a relaxing Sunday with the family.

Vegetarians won’t go hungry either with a delicious nut roast with mushroom gravy and all the trimmings to indulge in.
Guildford has long been a go-to for those looking to move from London to somewhere still within communting distance, but with a slower pace, top-rated schools and beautiful countryside with cosy country pubs for family days out.
