This is a lovely place to relax and enjoy some really tasty food. I had the fish and chips which was perfectly cooked and my partner had the steak. He said it was delicious although a little small for the price. The chips were ample though so we left feeling full although I doubt he will order the steak again. There’s a lot to choose from on the menu so we will definitely return. Thank you

Finally under excellent management! Very glad this beautiful country pub is getting the TLC it deserves. Fully booked at Sunday lunchtime last week, which is a good sign. We were able to eat outside and, despite being busy, our four roasts were hot and delicious. Tasty sides too. Love that it’s not just dog friendly, but dog welcoming.

Came for a late night walk in roast dinner, Staff were friendly and accommodating. Nice, quiet table with ambience mood lighting and pretty outdoor seating with perfect shelter from the storm under the grapevines and fairy lights. Inside the food was brilliant, we had whitebait and mackerel as starters w/ thyme butter & artisan bread which tasted as good as it sounds. The roast was tender and delicious even at 19:45pm! (Food stops serving at 20:00). If you’re looking for a perfect pub this is the place. We will definitely be coming back again! Ample parking to the side of the pub and doggy friendly.

A lovely family lunch with nestled in beautiful countryside; great for walks with kids, dogs or both. I have previously not been particularly keen on the food offering of the Jolly Farmer, but it has been completely revamped. The menu offers classic pub staples such as fish and chips and a well designed burger, as well as new gastro-additions such as the Cumberland sausages with cabbage and mash. There are new starters, and a refreshing offering of snacks. The food is now able to challenge the nearby Bird in Hand and Drumming Snipe and has put this pub very much back on the map for me. The staff were attentive and friendly. Our young kids were taken in stride and were made to feel equally welcome. The garden is lovely and is a great place for a meal or a drink after a walk on the common. The adjacent parking makes this a natural start/end for excursions. I found the dappled shade under the grape vines to be delightful. The indoor facilities are cozy and sympathetic to the age of the building. The bar is well-stocked and offers local beers as well as the usual brands. If you (like me) have previously reserved the Jolly Farmer for only the occasional drink, then now is an excellent opportunity to give it another try and discover a much improved local favourite!

I recently visited The Jolly Farmer in Guildford for a pint, and it was an outstanding experience! From the moment I stepped in, I was welcomed by a warm and inviting atmosphere. The pub has a charming rustic feel, with cozy seating and a friendly vibe that makes you feel instantly at ease. The beer selection is fantastic, with a great variety of local and international brews. I chose a refreshing craft beer, which was served perfectly chilled and tasted amazing. The staff were incredibly friendly and knowledgeable, offering excellent recommendations and ensuring top-notch service throughout my visit. One of the highlights was the pub’s beautiful outdoor garden area. It’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a drink, especially on a sunny day. The locals were also very welcoming, adding to the overall pleasant experience. In summary, The Jolly Farmer is a wonderful spot in Guildford for a pint. Whether you’re looking for a quiet drink or a lively evening with friends, this pub has it all. Highly recommended!
