Worlplesdon Place in Guildford

Popped in last night on the way home after a long day out with the family. Emma looked after us and made us feel right at home. Could not fault the food or service and will definitely going back when we’re in the area.

I have always loved the Jolly Farmer but this Sunday the service was not up to standard. Not enough staff for a packed pub. Such a pity as usually can't fault it. Hopefully things will get back to the lovely welcoming lovely pub I love to go to.

Excellent service from all of the staff

Popped in for a quick drink to see what it's like as driven past hundreds of times. Food looked good that was being served, enormous Yorkshire puddings !! Coffee was pretty awful. Nice place with a good outside area in better weather.

Shocking can not cook a steak awful table service. Had better at weatherspoons

Attentive and friendly servers. Superb food and experience. Will definitely visit again.

Excellent roast , gravy far to thin but the food made up for this, we will return

Met up with a friend for drinks and a catch up. The pub was clean and tidy. We were able to get a table with no problems. Drinks very expensive but the bar staff were friendly.

Super tasty food, loads of parking and great outside space (really lovely in the summer especially!)

Pub with large garden and lake/pond. Visited today and enjoyed our lunch in the large gardens. They had a great range of vegan options; I went for the vegan sausages and mash, which was absolutely lovely. A really ideal spot!

Excellent food, prompt service and friendly staff. The inside and outside of the pub are also beautiful. We will be back.

I always enjoy a cycle ride from this pub because the lunch after the ride is so pleasant.

We had a lovely meal here on Saturday evening - the staff were friendly and helpful. Lovely atmosphere and interesting and unusual decor. However we were disappointed that the main course we both wanted was unavailable (Calves Liver) so we had to go for choice no 2 - I had the Haddock and Chips and my partner had the special - Linguine with Prawns and Chorizo I think. Also the bar staff were rather slow in serving us when we first arrived.

Great find. Would definitely recommend

Great value and the staff are always friendly and helpful

I'm sure my wife will do a much more in depth review but here I go. We had our wedding reception here and they were amazing. Tom went out of his way to sort everything we requested. The service from the staff on the day was second to none. The food, omg the food. We ate here for lunch a few weeks before the big day and it was a massive deciding factor for us. The chef was great catering to dietary requirements and every bite was delicious. The hotel room was stunning and even though we don't live far, we would come back just to stay for a night. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thankyou for making our special day even more amazing.

Me & my husband had our wedding breakfast & reception at Worplesdon place and it was amazing! The staff were unbelievable! Right from the start Tom (landlord) was so helpful in getting this organised & couldn't do enough for us. The staff were so wonderful on the day as well (Mauricio, Emily, Nice, Keagan - I'm sorry if I've misspelt the names!). The food was unbelievable & it was all just perfect for us. Also the rooms are LUSH (but be mindful of the snack bar because the choices are too good :p) Thank you to everyone, you made our day so special <3.

Went for Breakfast , ordered full english which is priced relatively high , first was cold , sent back , second turned up , hash browns were completely overcooked , beans had a thick skin on , basically had been microwaved to within an inch of its life . It didnt taste very nice and when i informed the waitress she gave me a very dismissive look and didnt say a single word ! They didnt charge me for it , which is fortunate because i wouldnt have paid for it .

One of the best hotel breakfasts I have had. Great choice, grapefruit juice, really nice butter, super bread, so much choice for the cooked breakfast we had breakfast three days in a row.

Fantastic friendly pub, very nice staff and pleasant interior. Outdoor seating area is just stunning. I’ve had the best fish and chips in years!

A magnificent place with beautiful Building and amazing grounds. Worth a visit.

Poetic scenes! Very good breakfast

Loved the food, we had three courses and the fish to start was devine Very impressed with the food and lovely waitress but every course there was items off the menu, also the Guinness was not working well and initially took 20minutes to inform us of this. I would have appreciated being informed within less than 10 minutes of ordering anything. Saying that was impressed with the standard of everything else and the young lady kept an eye out for the drinks after this so overall was great

We went here to meet an old school friend and had a lovely afternoon sitting outside chatting after a very tasty fish cake lunch

Astonishing place! The food was delicious, the service was impeccable and the whole evening was nothing but amazing.

One of the best hotels I've stayed at

As always, a very nice place to have lunch. Huge garden for the children to run around. Excellent food. Also I have to mention the staff, very kind and hard working people.

Fantastic place to stop by, peaceful, green and surrounded by wonderful scenery of tall greenery and a pond.

Lovely venue, came to get away from the chaos of Ascot and watch the England v Denmark game food was excellent as was service from staff and the atmosphere, lovely setting would highly recommend

I had a suprise birthday lunch for my partner and the staff really went above & beyond to make it such a great afternoon. Great food & service!

I had a large family dinner of 23 (including children! Lots of space for them to explore) and the staff couldn’t have been more helpful Food was delicious Thank you everyone who was working!

The chicken, on the Caesar Salad was overcooked and dry and there was no parmasan or caesar sauce ! One of the burger buns was not toasted and so the bottom was soaked by the sauces.

The food was great and so were drinks, but I did request a child size roast for myself as I have had stomach surgery but I was advised this wasn’t allowed due to certain portion sizes? The response didn’t really make sense. This was a bit annoying as I ordered a normal size and ended up leaving over half due to my surgery! Other then that no other issues! The food was brought out quickly and the food was delicious!

Picked an evening when there was a wedding event. Should have more staff working. They need a new door on the kitchen. It constantly banged very close to our seats. Wasn't happy with the 12.5% discretionary service charge that was added to bill.

Really nice pub with great space outside especially for the kids. The food is above average from a normal pub. Really recommend it for families

ONCE AGAIN ! - a pub with no Beer - absolutely no Ale whatsoever - SERIOUSLY, this is a massive pub and owned by Youngs brewery and everyone there is very upset, however this is a regular occurrence in this pub, yet it has around 8 Ale pumps. It Can’t be a couple of weeks since it last time it was totally without beer, what’s the point in driving to a Pub - it’s a half hour round trip for me, to have a pint of beer when it’s proven so unreliable - people just go to the multiple pubs in the area that employ managers capable of keeping at least one beer on tap ! I approached a person regarding this with a major attitude problem, sitting at a desk, to ask why this keeps happening - says he one of the managers but flatly refuses to give me his name !!! Seriously, no wonder the place is so utterly disorganised. Rather than be accommodating and apologetic for the inconvenience - (having driven for 15 minutes to get there for a nice pint ) chose to tell me I was lying. It turns out that he is the deputy manager behind Tom-not on property. I felt this behaviour very strange so I took my camera phone and said ok, took a picture and said I will post it… he stood up and started to threaten me if I was to post it he would….!!!! I left the property with a view to raising this with the Police. They have spent a fortune on this property under the control of a French manager who did an amazing job in improving the property - something of a disaster that through the the non existence of any management capable of running it properly will end up a waste of a lot of money. Rob Reply to Tom Harris, General Manager - from Rob Dear Tom, Thank you for your response, firstly congratulations on your appointment as GM at Worpleston Place. I understand your comments for which I am grateful, but just wanted to clear up a couple of points. You have mentioned my ‘previous visit’ - since the breath of fresh air and improvements that Oliver had brought, we have been frequenting WP on a fairly regular basis and got to know the staff as well. I would not react in the fashion I have if it was a one off situation, far from it. I run a number of companies in the service industry and know only too well that slip ups happen. This has over a long period, and before Olive joined been a too regular occurrence, thus my reason for constructive criticism. I understand that you are newly engaged at WP and you will address the situation, thank you. It’s fair to say that this issue escalating to where it has was due to your deputy manager. Instead of adopting a more understanding approach ( as I believe should be the mantra of mangers) right from the get go, he fired off in an aggressive and dismissive mode thus pouring petrol on a situation that could have been handled a lot differently and better. When it was clear that his attitude - especially after calling me a liar, was going from bad to worse, It was at this point I decided that it was a waste of time speaking with him and politely asked for his name, to which he told me I am not giving you my name! I don’t make a habit - or have the time to go around taking pictures of establishment’s staff. So, for now, enough said and my gratitude for your words, it’s just that being in business and having employees, I would want to know if someone behaved like that and would most likely dismiss them, so I felt strongly enough to take the time and raise it. My best wishes to you and wish you every success at WP, I’ve no doubt I’ll see you at some point, Kind regards, Rob

Food was nice. Dog friendly place. Nice ambience

Lovely seating area & grounds leading to the lake.

Beautiful room excellent staff and great location food is lovely

We stayed here on a Sunday stay package. We stayed in the newly refurbished room 14 and wow, the room was absolutely amazing. Perfection at its finest. Will be coming back again, hopefully for a longer stay this time.

Everyone is so friendly and helpful. The food is really good and a relaxed and chilled environment with enough space.

The bar and restaurant look great, service was decent, the food however is expensive for what you get and most of our party found it difficult to find something they wanted- it’s a small Menu with only 10 items as mains, and two veggie options but you’re looking at paying £25 for plaice, £32 for a steak and £17 for a veggie burger. The macaroni cheese from the kids menu (£10) was very small, cold and completely tasteless. We went on a Friday night and it was not at all busy, I think the menu needs broadening and simplifying if it’s to make a go of it

Eve looked after us and made the visit just perfect. A blend of professional and friendly - nothing was too much trouble. Hope she’s there next time ! Excellent food - couldn’t fault anything. Thank you

Living locally, I have visited several times to eat and drink but not for Sunday lunch before. I had made a reservation with a request and this was followed thank you!. With my guests we had the beef and chicken roasts which were huge and delicious, the staff were friendly and efficient and the overall cost very reasonable. This hotel, bar and restaurant are under fairly new management and they have made an excellent job of much improving the public areas and I hear, also the rooms (although I have no experience). It is also nice just for a morning coffee or a drink and if the weather is nice, the huge gardens including a lovely lake are beautiful. Highly recommend.

Roast potatoes dry and hard Yorkshire puddings dry and hard Roast beef very rare but nice Crab very nice taste but too runny Bakewell tart very nice Sticky toffee pudding very nice You should never run out of vanilla ice cream there’s a place called Tesco or Asda that can help you with that

Our waitress was Eve she was Fab very friendly and attentive.

Staff welcoming, food was good. Luckily not too busy, so no long waiting for food.

Fantastic pub garden for summer drinks and food

Lovely pub delicious food staff were friendly but took quite a while to come to the table to take orders. It wasn't busy. Wasn't asked if we would like to see the pudding menu. But all in all a really lovely pub and I would go back

Very enjoyable Sunday Roast, lovely spacious dining room with attentive staff, will come again.

Beautiful garden lovely place to meet up and have something to eat

One waitress is so so lovely respect us with our deafness. She so nice. And the foods is so delicious too. Lovely restaurant area.

Thank you Eleanor for looking after us so well. X

Lovely stay staff friendly and helpful would highly recommend 👍

Really great staff who were kind, helpful and worked so hard to meet the needs of a very big gathering. The food was served very hot and quickly once ordered. The bar service was excellent, always with a smile. A lovely spacious pub with plenty of seating.

Once you get served and in the system it's like clock work but getting noticed by the server at the bar was a challenge, another man commented to me, trying to pay my cheque for the last 10 minutes. Actually serving no one but just being ignored. Nice atmosphere and great menu choice, l had fish and chips and there was a curry sauce pea mash type stuff and the usual tartar, chips needed a bit longer in what ever they cooked them in. I never stayed for another pint of Cider despite walking, l just couldn't bear the hassle of trying to get served again. Dog friendly and lot's of kid's around

Went on Sunday for quiet drink with wife but was met with astonishingly rude and abrupt behaviour by two staff. Was told no coffees or hot chocolate as machine broke, then because no spoons, then actually it’s ok..Rather strange, staff member didn’t want to do it..Paid then waited 25 minutes for cold coffee/hot choc to arrive. Staff dropped at table no words. Asked at bar for refund as both drinks cold. Pub manager arrived, equally bad attitude, couldn’t care less. Both agreed, we will never go back for food or drink. Very disappointed.

Chose this pub /hotel for its "dog friendly" qualities. A great place for walking our dog and looking a the young on the pond. Plenty of seating and outdoor space. Inside a spacious eating and drinking area, with excellent staff. Table set up with name and 2 dog, as well as dog treats on the table!. Menu varied and different, which gave a good variety of choice for 6 of us. The roast beef was wonderful, with exceptional Yorkshire puddings, carrot and swede mash and roast potatoes. Pork belly was raved over. For us who had travelled from Wiltshire, Kent and further afield our family catch up was complimented by the setting of this venue, its staff and wonderful food. A great place for all and our dogs. Thank you to the staff.

Went with my wife and daughter. Food was amazing, lovely pub inside and out and will be back for sure 😀🙌

Ideal to meet up with large groups for coffee and cake.

Nice comfortable place with pleasant atmosphere and good beers

Had a great breakfast and chill

Excellent burgers - the best we’ve had in a long time ! And first class service. Couldn’t fault the place …

Excellent experience and food. Staff were very patient with us, especially as we had seven children in total between the ages of 1 and 7!

Dogs allowed in bar area. Plenty of space. Nice outside area on decking. Lots of tables on grass & space to walk the dog too. Free parking. Good choice of food including a couple of veggie dishes & some vegan choice. Plant burger delicious. Do not like the vegan cheese though!! 😊

Very good early evening meal with family, plenty of available seating, dog friendly which is one of the main reasons to go here. Doors was top notch as well.

Very good experience! Excellent food quality. Very efficient and friendly service. Generous portions! Yummy!

The whole experience was so good that we have arranged to book early for next year.

Staff were great food tasted amazing however I thought it was quite expensive for what it was

We booked a Christmas dinner for 11. It was lovely, food was great (a lot of it!!), service excellent and will come back again!

Great service and the food was cooked perfectly.

We had our company Christmas party on 9th December 2023. We were a group for 34 people. All the food arrived at the tables piping hot, delicious and all served at the same time. The staff were fantastic and nothing seems to be too much bother for them. Nice atmosphere will plenty for space in between table. We all had a great evening, and I will be booking up for next year. Thank you to all at Worlplesdon Place.

Nice hotel, close to Woking and Guildford. Loved the Pain au Chocolate at breakfast.

Great place and great service. We have been using this restaurant many times for our team meetings and team parties.

Food was lovely but nothing was warm, unfortunately ( we were in a group of 12), everything was rather slow. Beautiful building. We were in a room with a group of 5 and 10 and unfortunately made conversation very hard to hear. Also over charged for a 13 person , refused to move on it , wouldn't let us drop the discretionary charge that would have fixed the issue.

One of the worst Christmas meals I've ever had. Food is terrible, service is woefully bad, the room was echoey and it was dark AF.

My group was well looked after in the function room with coffee and tasty pastries provided. Friendly and efficient service.

It was nice food but it was quiet. Beautiful settings!

Large bedroom in main house with nice views of the garden and comfortable bed , but this is an older property so don’t expect things to be modern , there at all or where you want them to be .

Service and food very poor not good

Excellent surroundings. Good choice of food and drinks

Such a great place to eat and drink I was in there tonight with my Date and we really enjoyed it the atmosphere was good the food was delicious and the drink was good too, eaten there a few times with Family and Friends and never disappoints, might try their rooms out at some point but as a restaurant and bar I highly recommend Them.

The food was lovely. The staff, although helpful, need a little more training. The venue is lovely. We sat in the sun and had a very nice meal.

My 3 sisters and I went for a meal on Friday..very happy with the evening

We called in for breakfast which was good but we were disappointed no porridge was available.

Enjoyed a delicious meal here recently along with friends. Menu is varied and food cooked and presented well. I thought dishes were good value for money too. We were sat inside just off of the main bar and we had the room to ourselves. We were told there was going to be a private party next door within the hour and we could be moved if we wanted. We declined as it was no problem to us listening to the DJ and provided some background music which we really didn’t mind at all. The only small negative that I can give which doesn’t even need mentioning really was that we were asked if we wanted any sauces and we we asked for tomato ketchup but this was never brought to the table. In the end we didn’t need it so didn’t say anything. The meal and everything was fantastic and I would definitely recommend to others and would visit again.

We had an excellent meal the service was excellent too the staff were extremely helpful and nothing was too much trouble.

Great place for a quick coffee and chips

Lovely place for drinks on the terrace.

Very limited menu and quite expensive.

Lovely meal in a lovely setting.

Great service and the food was so good. One of our party described their Lamb & apricot sausages as "banging", which apparently means they were amazing! Thank you and will definitely be back :)

We stayed for one night. The room was lovely. Breakfast was very nice. The building itself is nice but didn't read up on the history.

No complaints aside from poor TV reception but the staff did help with that. Cooked breakfast was 1st class.

Clean pub with a beautiful outdoor area, overlooking a lake. Plenty of parking. The pub was almost empty when we visited, but staff were very welcoming and knowledgeable regarding wines. However, what really let the place down was the price of the food and drinks. We paid £49 for 2 x burger and chips, with 1 drink each. It was literally just a random place we stopped at along our journey home, for a quick bite to eat, but it turned out to be a very expensive pit stop in the end. Neither of us finished the burgers as they had bits of fat and gristle in, which really made our stomachs churn. Chips were served in a tiny little metal pot, probably more suited for a toddler's snack. In summary, lovely environment, great staff, but far too pricey and poor quality of food.

It's weird, I usually go there quite a lot on the weekend and have a great time. Today however, that changed. Came in after having a nice day, ordered some drinks and some chips. We were asked where we would sit. I went out to look and came back saying there are no table numbers. Then in the rudest tone the staff member said, " I know that they are new, where will you sit then". My elderly grandmother in a frail voice said, we will sit outside on the left" (I could tell she was hurt by the way she was spoken to even though I was the one who said it) before getting another look and her walking off. She was sat outside and clearly wasn't happy. I think it's rude for her to have a go at a pensioner who literally did nothing wrong. Personally I think it's quite rude as we do visit this pub quite frequently. That was the first bad experience I've had there. I really hope it doesn't happen again

Sunday chicken dinner was horrible and dry . Cauliflower cheese was burnt and tasteless Fish & Chips the batter was so dark . Down to the fryer oil

Sadly it was raining the day we visited it. The grounds are lovely with a big lake, child friendly and plenty of parking. I stayed in this hotel 2 years ago, the rooms we had were big and extremely comfortable. The food is v good with helpful staff. There is the choice of an informal bar with some great secluded seating spots , (you never sit too near to other diners), or a more formal dining area. Certainly somewhere to return to.

Excellent service and staff. Lovely outside space and seating area. Comfortable bed , we all slept very well. Dog friendly, our dog was very well catered for.

Friendly staff and beautiful outdoor view and seating. Inside goes with the theme of the area
