Think twice before ordering the pies, and the landlord really doesn't like bad feedback.
Went there with my wife for dinner. Ordered, seated, all well so far. I ordered a pie and was told it would take 45 minutes; it took an hour and a quarter. My wife ordered a steak; crucially, the server didn't ask how my wife wanted her steak done, and we didn't notice.
Anyway, after waiting for an hour and a ten minutes, a steak was put in front of my wife. One minute later, it was removed; "Wrong order", we were told. Just as well my wife hadn't cut into it then.
However, a few minutes later food eventually

A very old pub with great food (not your ham, egg and chips type). The couple that run the pub are also very welcoming and friendly.

Best veggie burger ever. Actual hand cut chips unlike some. Having travelled from Surrey and reading some reviewers who claim its pricey, please eat in Guildford and then make the same claim ! Dog friendly to boot. Brilliant find.
