Discreet Dining in Guildford
Guildford's restaurants gather on and around its cobbled high street, with country villages a short drive away. Here is how to pick a calm table.
The High Street and the lanes
The High Street and the lanes running off it hold most of the town's restaurants, many in old buildings. Tables can be close together, so ask for a corner or an upstairs table if you want privacy.

The riverside
Near the River Wey and the theatre, a meal before a show is an easy plan, and the setting is calmer than the bar streets higher up.

The Surrey Hills villages
Villages in the Surrey Hills, such as Shere, have old pubs and restaurants in a quiet setting. They suit a long, unhurried dinner, with a taxi booked for the way back.

Booking and asking for quiet
Book ahead for Friday and Saturday, and ask for a quiet table when you do. An earlier sitting is calmer than the busy hours.

Getting home
After a meal in the centre, the station and the taxi ranks are downhill. From the villages, book a licensed taxi in advance, because they are rarely found on the street. As everywhere on the site, this guide is for adults aged 18 and over.
