Innkeeper's Collection Godalming

You're walking down Ockford Road and suddenly the Wey opens up in front of you—that's when you know you've found the right spot. The Inn on the Lake sits right on the water's edge, giving it a genuinely different feel from your standard Godalming high street haunts. It's the kind of place that works equally well for a solo pint after work, a casual weekend lunch with mates, or bunking up for the night if you've got family visiting. The building's got character without trying too hard, and the bonus of having rooms upstairs means you're not rushing anywhere. They do proper pub food, the sort of thing that actually tastes like someone's bothered, and the fact it's part of the Innkeeper's Collection means there's a decent wine list and actual cask ales on tap.
