Local record

History of this pub

The Parkway was a single-storey brick restaurant beside the Guildford Premier Inn, on the edge of town about a mile from the centre, close to the Spectrum Leisure Centre and opposite Guildford Lido. Inside there were booths, a carvery station, a breakfast room opening onto a south-facing terrace and a cosy rear area with a fireplace, and CAMRA's local branch recorded Sharp's Doom Bar as its regular ale. CAMRA notes that from September 2026 the restaurant was open to Premier Inn guests only.
