The Jolly Farmer, Guildford

Fuller's country dining pub on the edge of Whitmore Common so a handy stop for walkers too. The original building has been extended over the years, but the various seating and eating areas are all quite compact so the whole retains a semi-traditional feel. Good-sized beer garden on the left-hand side, partly underneath a vine-covered pergola, with a circular barbecue kitchen towards the back. London Pride and Hophead (£5.80) served from the bank of four handpumps.

A decent country pub, a Fullers pub with only there beers on, four pumps with Pride doubled up,H.S.B. and Olivers Island, the conditioning of which was excellent.Multi roomed/partitioned inside with a mixture of stone tiled and wood flooring,food plays a major part of this pubs set up as you would expect of a country pub nowadays and there is a purpose built barbecue kitchen/servery with a wood tiled roof in the middle of the extensive beer garden. All in all not a bad place.
