5. The Percy Arms
75 Dorking Rd, Chilworth, Guildford, GU4 8NP | Menu | Our Review
Nestled into the beautiful Chilworth countryside is one of the most delicious Sunday carvery Surrey offers at The Percy Arms. This pub and grillhouse serves modern British cuisine with a South African twist, adding a unique twist to ordinary pub food. With a choice between a traditional South African bobotie and the British classic of fish and chips, there is guaranteed to be a meal that appeals to everyone, including some delicious vegetarian options.
However, the real pride and joy is the famous Sunday carvery, which includes a choice of 5 meats (or a vegan nut roast) and a selection of vegetables, roast potatoes, and more. It will ensure that you will want to come back again and again.
