About

The March Hare sits in a very handy part of town, just off the High Street and close to Guildford Castle. It blends a smart pub feel with a broader brasserie-style menu, so it works for anything from lunch and Sunday roast to group dinners and drinks that turn into food.\n\nInside, it is more polished than a standard pub, with a conservatory, cocktail-friendly feel and private dining upstairs. That makes it especially useful for gatherings where you want flexibility rather than a formal restaurant setup.\n\nIf you're after somewhere central, attractive and easy to recommend to mixed groups, The March Hare earns its place on the list.
