Guildford - Hotel - After the Fire Well, we've waited for getting on three years since the fire but still the grand old hotel is still in ruins. Socks on the fence and the signs don't seem to make much difference in getting the building restored to anyone. July 2011 |

Its burgers have been acclaimed by people in high places (and also me). This place is open in the evenings. Good to sit there by the fire on a winter evening enjoying your burger. January 2012 |
