About

The Stag on the River deserves a very high place because its official restaurant page makes a strong quality case, highlighting locally sourced ingredients, a restored riverside setting and a broad dining offer from breakfast onwards. It has more destination feel than a standard country pub.\n\nThat makes it one of the Godalming area's best all-round restaurant recommendations, especially for people who value setting as much as the food.
