Nestled in the picturesque village of Chilworth, The Percy Arms is a charming country pub and restaurant that brings a taste of South African flair to the heart of Surrey. Just a short drive from Guildford and surrounded by the rolling hills of the Surrey countryside, it’s a popular destination for locals and visitors seeking hearty food, warm hospitality, and a relaxed yet stylish setting.
Housed in a beautifully restored building with traditional features and contemporary touches, The Percy Arms offers a cosy interior with exposed beams, roaring fireplaces, and elegant dining spaces.

The Percy Arms also offers five beautifully appointed guest rooms, making it an ideal spot for a countryside getaway.
The menu is a celebration of South African-inspired cuisine, with bold flavours and generous portions. Signature dishes include boerewors sausage, peri-peri chicken, and the famous 'Big 5' grill platter featuring a selection of meats cooked to perfection. Steaks are a standout, sourced from premium cuts and expertly grilled. There’s also a range of classic British pub favourites, including fish and chips, burgers, and Sunday roasts. Vegetarian and vegan options are available, and the kitchen is happy to cater to dietary needs.
To accompany the food, the drinks list features a well-curated selection of South African wines, local ales, and classic cocktails. Whether you’re enjoying a crisp Chenin Blanc or a rich Pinotage, the team is on hand to recommend the perfect pairing.
