The Merry Harriers - Godalming

Booked lunch, drove 20 miles to pub only to find pub holding a private function. No lunch! Thanks for nothing !

Lovely location, plenty of parking, great friendly traditional pub. The food is amazing and of high quality. Will definitely be going again.

we love the Jazz jam and I think the only comment for improvement would be to have a proper high chair in situ (a wooden one) rather than one that straps to the chair - I appreciate that space is tight at the pub though!

Amazing food but band setting setting up with door to outside wide open when everyone is eating is a bit disorganised.

Disappointing, bland and overcooked food (some we had to send back) and slow indifferent service

Lovely Sunday lunch and great to be back at the MH. Friendly service and delicious menu.

Amazing food the Llamas are sweet and had such a nice random Saturday lunch :)

Stayed for 2 nights. Excellent breakfast and very good evening meals. Good choice and good value Would recommend

My daughter loved the Llamas. Lovey atmosphere. Great place. big thumbs up

Lovely friendly atmosphere and great food as well as the llamas!

High quality food, good atmosphere and excellent service. Thank you.😎

The Merry Harriers was very disappointing. The "slow roasted pork belly with crackling" was actually a plate of over cooked pork ribs with a small serving of belly on the side and not a piece of crackling in sight. The roast potatoes were also dry and had clearly been reheated a good few times. The pub was very busy and there was an open mic jazz event going on (mid afternoon on a Sunday), which was way too loud, so conversation over lunch was near impossible. We were very disappointed with our experience at The Merry Harriers and wouldn't recommend it at all.

Once again had a fantastic lunch at the Harriers. Such a welcoming pub with great fiod and drink. The Shere Drop ale went down well!

We found salmon in the vegetarian dish so would not recommend to people with dietary restrictions.

The pub is very warm and welcoming and the staff were very helpful and friendly. I would have rated you higher but the food we had was a little disappointing We have the risotto which was quite watery and bland.

Lovely meal but the choice of veg with the roast let them down. Friendly staff. Beautiful setting. We will be back . Very easy to book on this site.

Good food at a reasonable price. Cosy inside and a friendly service. Lots of walks from the doorstep in beautiful countryside. Definitely worth a visit.

Went to the Merry Harriers last weekend for an anniversary, and it was absolutely brilliant as always. The new shepherds huts are a great idea and we loved having a nice warm wood burning stove on a cold day. Such a great place, thanks.

Warm and welcoming pub with a good choice of beer. We were all smitten with the 'fruit cake '. Great menu and good service. Our waitress came to tell us when our meals were being plated up and brought us any sauces beforehand which was a nice touch. Would definitely recommend.

The food is good although there is not much choice for vegetarians. Staff very helpful and polite. Nice open fire in bar area giving a warm welcoming feel on a cold January day.

The Staff were pleasant but we felt that the food was fairly disappointing for the price. Dog friendly pub which is a bonus woof woof

The Merry Harriers’ staff were exceptionally warm and welcoming and it was lovely to step into this characterful country pub and have a hot mulled cider. We enjoyed a family pre-Christmas meal: everyone thoroughly enjoyed every course : tasty, warm, nicely presented, delicious! We would recommend The Merry Harriers and hope to return soon.

Beautiful spot with lovely views. plenty of parking. Staff helpful and friendly. Food satisfactory rather than good. Despite a good fire, seemed rather tired. Service good.

This is a lovely pub and the service was very good. However, the four of us who ate there didn't think the food was particularly good value for the price.

Good food and friendly service made for a pleasant dining experience. We had the fish and chips and couldn’t fault it. Followed on with the sticky toffee pudding which, although it could have been hotter, was delicious. Only downside was the room wasn’t too warm. Could’ve done with the stove being lit for extra heat but that is a minor point.

Very welcoming, even provided bowl of water for the dog. Good quality food - my soup was clearly made with a good stock base and very tasty. Rest of the food well made too. Only negative was terrible coffee which the other couple with us ordered. Beyond weak, and by the time it reached our table the waiter had spilled a lot of it into the saucer. So bad that it was left undrunk. Didn't complain at the time as the pub was busy and we needed to go, and I am sure that the fault would have been rectified if we had said.

Sadly not the best experience today. Food took over an hour to arrive (and we had to change one order half an hour after ordering as they had run out). When it eventually arrived, two out of three fish were overcooked and dry. Burgers were cooked well but the two consumers did not like the mayo that was on the top. Chips were at best, average. Not sure if this was just bad luck (very busy/understaffed?), or typical. We have eaten here on several occasions in the past (a year ago was the last time) with no particular problems. As locals, we are very well served with excellent pubs around us, so I think that The Harriers needs to up its game if it wants repeat business.

The room layout is awkward, with three separate dining areas and therefore losing the atmosphere. The decor and furnishings were old fashioned, looked like random purchases from a sale of 1950s bric a brac. The menu was unimaginitive and limited. Service was slow.

Both the service and the food are absolutely excellent. My party of five all enjoyed their lunch. We particularly appreciated the risotto which was on special.

Very welcoming and just how a local pub should be, food was excellent combined with rustic features. The accommodation they offer also looks to be well worth a stay. 5 stars please do not change.

Lovely Sunday roast, perfectly cooked roast beef and fabulous light & fluffy Yorkshire pudding, by a cosy open fire. Pleasant staff and no problem when we asked for extra gravy!

Great food and attentive and friendly staff. It's an attractive and dog friendly pub . I would recommend the sticky toffee pudding . We were a party of six and had a very enjoyable time

Good food with excellent presentation. Very friendly staff and an lovely fire in a very cold night. We enjoyed the evening and will go back.

Excellent food reasonably priced plus a warm friendly welcoming service The interior is comfortable including a log fire creating a relaxed environment A good selection of local ales Highly recommended

Lovely friendly little pub. Well staffed, all were attentive but not intrusive. 4 out of 5 meals were delicious. The 5th, vegetarian ‘From our Garden’ was pretentious rather than good. Would also have preferred not to have 2 damp dogs next to the table but I was the only one bothered by it. Would certainly make the effort to return. Thank you.

Very friendly staff, good food and comfortable restaurant. Good value main courses and well presented starters. Would recommend to others and would like to come back ourselves soon.

Excellent and welcoming service, a lovely relaxing environment, and unusual, delicious and beautifully presented meals. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be back.

The only negative comment was the Limited menu choices. We went in for Sunday lunch and they only had a beef roast and it would be nice to have had chicken too. A lot of people don’t eat red meat. A couple of good salads and some fish all seemed to be missing. Three of our party went for a ploughman’s for lack of choice and I just had a prawn starter. What happened to the scampi I had seen on the menu online? Saying that the food was really nice and excellently presented so we will return but I will phone to check the menu.

Food was good, but unusual addition of strawberries with salmon, difficult to understand the addition, but perhaps i’m just not sufficiently knowledgeable ? Staff were excellent, and attentive.

Fantastic local food beautifully presented. Great beers and ales. I enjoyed the home made lemonade. Lovely staff, good service and a fab location. Visit the llamas too!
