Grantley Arms, Guildford

Blue Scrumpy left this review about Grantley Arms

Travelling from east to west across Surrey, there is a definite divide between the more middle class areas to the east and the upper classes in the west. The Grantley Arms was the first place we came to where the clientele was clearly much more affluent. It is the kind of pub where parents will take young Tarquin and Millicent out for lunch followed by a few drinks. Indeed, there were almost as many children as there were adults in here. Children's activities are provided on the tables.

The front room is more of a bar, but with a completely empty formal dining room to the rear, I got the impression that the residual drinkers to the front had already eaten where they were still sat. The front section is a nice environment with bare boards, board games on a windowsill and a TV above a fireplace. There are also outdoor drinking areas to the side and rear and seemingly further smaller rooms off the dining room.

The regular cask ales are Surrey Hills Shere Drop & Young's London Original. A guest beer was Hogsback TEA. The cider was Aspall's.

Not a bad pub, but I don't particularly enjoy the sound of screaming babies whilst having a drink.
