The White Horse, Guildford

Warm summers days are meant for spending time at a pub. If you like the idea of a quiet drink in a plush but relaxed environment, then the White Horse in Guildford is worth a visit. 

The White Horse is just over the bridge by Debenhams. It is a glorious white building surrounded by beautiful plants and being along side the river, it has that real tucked-away feel.

The outside is small, so at first we had to wait inside before we spied a table free in the sunshine.

Strawberry and Lime cider anyone?

It is a little pricy in here. The Cider came to £4.50, which is not a huge amount and understandable from the vibe the pub carries. The White horse also displays a sign stating over 21's only, helping it continue its metropolitan atmosphere.

Once outside the cider did not last long...

This pub also has something many other establishments would dream of, a balcony terrace. To reach it there is a beautiful black spiral staircase and room for just a few benches to enjoy the views of the river and the surrounding town.

Cost: A bit on the expensive side.
Activities: Drinking; Eating (there is a food menu if required).

The Watermill Inn, Dorking

Our Granny, Aunt and Great Aunt recently came down for the weekend and we needed somewhere close to their hotel for a big family meal. This is how we stumbled upon The Watermill Inn.

It's a Chef and Brewer pub, so has the usual hearty pub grub menu with lots of variety to meet everyone's taste. The staff were friendly, joking around with us all ensuring we felt right at home.

The best part about this pub is its location, overlooking the rolling hills of Surrey. I can imagine it to be the perfect romantic landscape, especially on a warm summer evening.

The Watermill Inn was also a chance for my Mum, Dad and Uncle to reminisce about when they were younger and the pub use to have a dance floor, with the three of them coming down for the weekly 'disco'. It sounded super cute and lots of fun, if only the disco was still going today!

I think we all agreed though, the puddings were ammmaaazing! I'm not really one for sweet things but they were just too tempting. Below are our top three...

Cookie Cup- My cousin just couldn't wait, understandably! 

Traditional Apple Pie and Custard

My favourite- The Eaton Mess cheesecake.

Finally, Mum and I couldn't resist but to finish off the evening with a glass of prosecco at the bar.

Bubbbbly
