The Squirrel Country Pub - Waverley

We had a Groupon voucher for the set lunch at this restaurant and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. The food, especially the liver, was excellent. The staff were helpful and friendly, and we were impressed with the variety of choices on the set lunch menu even without the voucher. We would definitely recommend this place.

Scrolling through groupon today, I saw a deal at this pub for a 3 course set menu at £30 for 2 people. Having not been yet, hubbie and I decided to try it out with the pooch in tow. I booked online prior to arrival and arrived in good time, as it's just off the A3. Initial impressions were very good. Lovely looking gastropub, in the countryside and plenty of parking. A warm welcome was waiting for us inside and we were quickly shown to our corner table and a bowl of water was provided straight away for the dog. Nice touch. The set menu is normally £33 each so it's a bargain to try out first on a place you havn't been to. I chose calamari with a nice sweet chilli dip, he had mushroom soup with warm bread, followed by Chicken Schnitzel fries salad, whilst I went for the Steak Burger. Both the starters and mains were delicious! My steak burger was cooked to perfection, juicy and the chicken was (he said well seasoned and a nice light batter. Dessert was treacle pudding with custard (or ice cream and I had the New York cheesecake with cream. Again, dessert was absolutely scrumptious. Overall, I was very impressed with the near decor, welcoming staff, large outside decking area for the summer and a children's play area away from the main building so would not disturb other diners. This deal is on until the end of February so if you are thinking of trying a new pub, in an area you've never been to with great service and lovely food, this is it! (Oh, and 5 mins away is a lovely Farm Shop called Secretts also worth a visit en route back! :

Delicious main meal and dessert, staff is very kind and service is more than excellent. All perfect. Absolutely nice experience, warmly recommended!!

Looked such a lovely place to stop off for lunch but sadly the food was worse than diabolical. Had we chosen a high street burger place the food would have been far superior. Calamari smelt fishy, not fresh. Diabolical quality frozen grizzly burger shocking, beetroot slaw tasted of chemical. Shocking meal which was left. To top it all the tea towel was used to wipe the computer screen and keypad once that was cleaned the same tea cloth was used to wipe the drinking glasses. Hygiene in public places for intake of food should be exemplarary. When asked by the lovely waitress if everything was ok, we didn't want to embarrass our daughter so paid the bill and left. Sadly, we will never return now reccomend to family or friends. Very disappointed to what should have been a pleasant lunch out.

I was on a business trip and had to stay somewhere local to Godalming I booked in at the Squirrel Inn and thought I was lost until I found it! I checked into a very small, but extremely cosy room I loved it. I thought I’d grab a bite to eat and a drink in the pub… it was fantastic! It was very quiet but the staff were so attentive, I stayed talking with the manager Natalie and her colleague Denisa and had a few more drinks, probably not a good idea the night before a big meeting!! I felt so welcome and had a great laugh before going to sleep in my cosy room and comfy bed. I’m not local, but if it was I’d return here for a drink with a friendly smile!
