A 14th-century pub in central Farnham on Castle Street where local events such as the Farnham Food Festival take place. The furniture is varied and comfortable with some settees - there are several nooks. There are many original dark beams and some exposed brickwork with a log fire in between the two main seating areas. The lighting is subdued in the evenings with additional light from candles creating a cosy atmosphere. The bar staff are friendly and helpful. The small enclosed courtyard has heaters. The pub can be very busy serving food early evenings. The guest beer pump usually features a traditional amber bitter or, during summer, a golden ale.

Information for this venue is provided by the Surrey/Hants Borders Branch of CAMRA
