The Jolly Farmer

Lovely food. I had roasted chicken & kale. I was pleased to be able to order my regular staples and liked the fact that even though beer was at the front and center they have some great wine choices. It truly satisfies the pub lunch desire.

Really, really bad service here. Was totally ignored when we walked in, asked for a table and was told yeah? sloppy service throughout meal. no lids on tea pots so tea gets cold (very odd), Ordered steak sandwich.£10.95!!! Couldn’t believe it, total rip off. Venue is nice though, good interior. All in all wont be visiting again in the near future! Recommend u avoid.

the jolly farmer on first apperances seemed to be a very nice pub, nice friendly people and staff, we ordered our drinks and took our table to browse over the menu, upon selecting our choice of food we ordered and we recieved a prompt service, however when the food arrived we were very dissapointed by the presentation and the quality of the food, my wife and i had the salmon which was offered on the specials menu and my son (15) had the roast beef, the beef was to say the least very fatty and in my opinion somewhat undercooked though not all over, the salmon on the other hand was seriously undercooked and in fact practically raw in the middle, my wife not being a complainer made the most of it and ate round the salmon, but myself who likes my food to be at least cooked through asked the waitress to take it back and please have it cooked some more, she returmed 5 or 6 minutes later with a piping hot plate which was obviously bunged in to the microwave and re heated, unfortunately the salmon was little diffrent and i just made the most of a bad situation and as my wife previously did just ate round it.
when we finished our meal we decided to order some deserts as the main course was dissapointing, we ordered pecan caramel cheesecake and rhubarb and custard, the waitress brought my wife and son 2 rasberry cheesecakes and my rhubarb was very green and bitter with so little custard that if you spilt it the dog would not have bothered to even lick it up.
overall the whole experience was very dissapointing and i would not recommend it as quality dining establishment.

Totally disagree. This is our local & can categorically say it’s by far the best on offer in the area (& we’ve tried them all!) Yes it is a bit pricey, but this is Surrey darling! Great food. Great staff. Dog friendly. And great atmosphere. Highly recommend.

This place was recommended to us as a nice pub with good food. Sadly, only the former was true. As a pub, it’s perfect. Very olde worlde, plenty of beams and fireplaces, absolutely wonderful visually. Outdoors is a lovely beer garden with plenty of seating and views of the countryside. Beer selection wasn’t brilliant, but good enough.
But the food First, let me say that while I was warned it wasn’t the cheapest place to eat, I was not expecting to see the £14.95 price tag on their fish & chips, which, needless to say, I passed on. Instead, I chose a pastrami sandwich with melted cheese and chips for £7.95. I could not have been more disappointed. I was expecting a hot sandwich, cheese all melty and stringy, meat warm and juicy. HA! What I got was coagulated cheese on top of fat-​riddled pastrami, on a less-​than-​average-​quality french stick. Yuck.
My children had the fish & chips, which they didn’t touch (not a comment on the food, they’re fickle as anything these days), so I helped myself, since I wasn’t eating my own meal. Oh. My!!! Credit where credit is due, it was the best fish & chips I think I’ve ever had. Really lovely. Worth £14.95 for the adult portion? Hmm Is fish & chips EVER worth £14.95? No, not in my book. My husband had the steak & kidney pie, which he said he would’ve been perfectly happy with at an average pub at average prices, but it certainly wasn’t worth the £10 we paid. My dad had the sausage & mash, which he was happy enough with, but again, felt it was overpriced.
Which is too bad. This place certainly has the location, décor and atmosphere to be brilliant, too bad about the prices and food. If you’re going to be average, fine (well, not really, but), be average, and charge average prices. Do not gouge folks, or you’ll quickly find that no one is picking up your menues and only ordering beers.
