I was in Guilford visiting friends and they guided me to this quite hidden gem. The place is pretty unconventional, but I think it only adds to the atmosphere. The food was lovely and the lady serving it was very helpful (I am not English and I had some problems understanding some of the ingredients). I remember I had a... More

Beano is a refreshing change from your everyday pack lunch! It features an eclectic menu of different vegetarian dishes from all over the world. But don't be turned off because it is vegetarian, these delicious meals are far from your typical veggie fare and are sure to delight everyone's tastebuds, even dedicated carnivores like my husband-to-be. It also caters to... More

My son is coeliac, vegetarian and thus generally reluctant to eat out. We went for lunch at The Beano today on the promise that the food was entirely vegetarian and gluten free choices were available. The lady was very helpful advising us which foods were gluten free. We enjoyed our food, which although a little cold, was very tasty. However,... More

My boyfriend and I took an improtu trip to Guildford having missed our train to Windsor from London and hopping on the next one departuring. We were looking at places to eat in Guildford on Trip Advisor and this lept out immediately. Not just because of the outstanding reviews but also due to the fact that it was vegetarian. Neither...

The food is so good here I just ate two main courses back-to-back. Fresh and delicious. I highly recommend the Beano to vegetarians.

This fabulous place is quite possibly Guildford's best kept secret - where as others have said, the words fresh, organic and vegetarian really mean something. I first became aware of The Beano as the catering company that provided the food at the annual mind, body and spirit fairs organised by a friend in nearby Dorking. Sadly due a disagreement with...

This is a jewel of a place right off North St in central Guildford. It is very simple, a large room with a small side room, within the building which houses the institute offices. A team of dedicated ladies prepare a huge selection of hearty vegetarian dishes and desserts, fresh every day. You have the option to choose a main,... More

The restaurant is both quirky and quaint, with a friendly atmosphere. The staff are delightful. I often ate there when I worked in Guildford town centre, and I don't think there was ever any dish or salad I didn't like.

Many places will tell you that their food is specially prepared. In reality it is white chiller van food hotted up in the microwave. At the Beano Restaurant at the Guildford Institute the food is specially prepared. Ask the lady serving what is in the dish and she will be able to tell you as it is she who has... More
