Cherished country pub in Surrey village with riverside beer garden reopens following refurbishment

A pub dotted along the idyllic River Wey has reopened with a remarkable fresh new look after an almost four-week transformation. Raising the bar for modern country dining, The Seahorse in Shalford near Guildford underwent a revamp this summer and is now welcoming back customers with a new layout, stylishly restored bar, plush seating and a refreshed beer garden.

Just in time for the sunshine, guests can relax in the large outside space kitted out with new festoon lighting and outdoor sofas, perfect for al-fresco dining. The Seahorse’s food and drink menu celebrates the best of British pub dining, and features dishes such as pan-roasted lamb rump, asparagus and squash orzo, and tarragon-battered line-caught haddock with thick-cut chips.

David Christie, general manager at The Seahorse, said: “We’re delighted to welcome both new and familiar faces to the beautifully refreshed The Seahorse. The refurbishment is a great way to give back to the local community for their support over the years.

“We want the pub to be your new favourite place in Surrey this summer, whether you’re popping in for a drink in the sunshine, or enjoying a hearty Sunday roast after a hike. We’ve something for all the family.”
