Quick service which was to my surprise then again it was hardly packed, indeed very empty for a late afternoon.
On tap were three ales - Pride, HSB and Jack Frost. The Jack Frost was excellent.
Also this pub has a warm and homely feel and there is said to be live music at weekends, while the jukebox adds to the atmosphere.
In general a great pub, if a little small for when it gets busy and thus I shall give it a 9/10.

Three pumps served Surrey Hills Shere Drop, Skinners Betty Stogs plus an Addlestones cider.
The very friendly landlady was apologetic about the party closure and tried to direct our group to local pubs serving decent real ale but also explained that Guildford is not great for real ale drinkers.

On Monday nights there is a 2 for 1 pizza offer. While once a month on Wednesdays some of the best comedians shall be performing.
Beer on offer tends to be London Pride and Old Speckled Hen, with guest ales also frequently available.
Only gripe would be the gentlemen's room which has seen better days. Used to be a pub quiz on a Tuesday but not running anymore.

I've had a couple of dodgy Hobgoblins in here before - cloudy and overly bitter - but generally it's ok. Bar staff are a mixed bag but generally ok. The food isn't bad either.
I remember some really great nights testing the bar staff with their internet jukebox - they routinely censored what could be played and you had to really battle it out to get your quid back. I don't know if it's still there, but try Sleep's "Jerusalem" and count the seconds. They must have some pretty strict rules in there. Either that or they don't like Sleep, I guess...
Very studenty, but all in all you get a wide mix of people and it's a decent pub. Much better than some other local alternatives, and it's close to the station, taxis, restaurants, etc.
I frequented this pub having thought about entering The Star, however was put off by a group of youngsters!
This place had a cosy and comfortable feel and the people at the bar seemed friendly.
Only one real ale on, which being the Hobgoblin, however it was on form which suggests this is a pub which cares about real ale.
Worthy of a visit any time. 10/10.
Four hand pumps served at the time Deuchers IPA, Courage Best, Wychwood Hobgoblin and my choice Hogs Back Advent Ale, a pleasant seasonal fairly dark brew.
The burger and chips were only a fiver, but to be honest although the burgers were home made and passable the chips buns and salad were not great.

6 real ales on, the lunch was good and proper homecooked stuff (don't go there expecting anything fancy).
Older clientele but I like that at a lunchtime. Landlord chatty, and knowledgable and enthusiastic about beers.
I will be returning.
