The Kings Head Pub - Guildford

Great pub and so nicely themed! Good was amazing, we thought a little pricey at first but once it came out it was definitely worth the money!

On July 26th, we had an awful experience at the Kings Head on Quarry Street. A staff member with short ginger hair and thick black eyeliner confiscated a genuine ID, claiming it was fake despite having already checked our IDs at the door. She took the ID downstairs and returned only with 3 of the 4 IDs, insisting one was fake. Despite its authenticity, she refused to return the ID and demanded it be claimed the next morning, causing significant stress for our friend who lives out of town and had work and a driving test the next day. When we calmly asked why the ID was being confiscated, the staff member became defensive and uncooperative, eventually saying the ID would be returned but that all nearby pubs had been informed it was suspected of being fake. We later confirmed with a bouncer that the ID was real and should not have been taken. The staff member lied, saying she did not notify other pubs but we later found out our full names were listed on some kind of group chat for all the pubs in Guildford. We are questioning racial bias here as our friend, whose ID was taken, is Indian and the other IDs—one with a distorted photo—were not confiscated. This incident ruined our night, and we hope it leads to a review of the pub’s practices.

Great burger, but £18 for a burger in a pub is ridiculous. Beer is equally overpriced

A classic of the Guildford pub scene. Was a bonkers mad youth venue in the early mid 80's and has since gone up market to be an excellent central town pub.

This place is sooooo expensive 3 pints £21 Yes £21 for 3 pints!! I can safely say I won't be back anytime soon!!!!!
