About

The White House earns its place on any Guildford pubs list because the setting is so easy to like. Right at the bottom of the High Street beside the River Wey, it has terraces, waterside views and the kind of position that makes an ordinary pint feel better.\n\nInside, it works as both a drinkers' pub and a dependable food stop, with a broad Fuller's range and refined pub classics built around seasonal ingredients. That makes it useful for everything from casual drinks to family meals and sunny afternoon meet-ups.\n\nIf you want a classic Guildford pub recommendation with a strong location, this is one of the safest picks in town.
