The Ivy Castle View

You'll find yourself in Tunsgate Quarter, that regenerated stretch of High Street where old Guildford meets something sharper and more ambitious. The Ivy Castle View occupies a beautifully restored period building—all high ceilings and period details—but the menu and atmosphere are thoroughly contemporary. It's the kind of place where you can drop in for an early evening cocktail and charcuterie, or settle in for a proper three-course blowout. The kitchen takes British classics seriously without getting precious about it.
