Named after a former Archbishop of Canterbury, who was born in Guildford the George Abbot was refurbished following flooding in early 2014. The pub retains its open plan, single-roomed layout but with some partitioning off into discreet drinking areas. Board games beside the door on a cabinet. The pub is decorated in a modern, traditional style with a slate floor and plenty of non-matching tables, for food which is served all day. Booking recommended for Sunday roast lunch. The bar sports a bank of six handpumps.

There is a warm and friendly atmosphere in this vibrant town centre venue.

Historic Interest

Built in 1808 beside the turnpike road to Portsmouth. Named the Greyhound after the king's messengers who used the road. Became a Hogshead pub in 1998, before being purchased by Greene King
