Riverside Pubs & Restaurants
The Wey is blessed with good pubs--historic coaching inns, modern gastro pubs, and traditional locals with gardens overlooking the water. Many have moorings for those arriving by boat.
Planning a walk around a pub lunch is one of the pleasures of the Wey. Several pubs sit directly on the towpath, making them natural stopping points. Others are a short detour from the water but worth the diversion.
The Anchor at Pyrford is perhaps the most famous--right beside Pyrford Lock with a garden overlooking the water. The Weyside in Guildford has a large riverside terrace, popular on summer evenings. The Stag on the River at Eashing combines pub and boutique hotel, with rooms overlooking the water.
Use our directory to find pubs by location, or filter by features--dog friendly, food served, moorings available. The pub walks section suggests routes built around a pub stop.
