Set in the elegant Farnborough Park area, the Goat in the Garden is an attractive bar, tucked away in the grounds of a small boutique hotel, Melford House, but accessed via its own entrance at 21 Church Avenue, though a gap into the rear garden between the main house and garage.

The bar offering will usually include four guest cask ales of which some are supplied directly from local breweries, and two craft lagers. Well chosen alcohol free beer is available in cans, and sometimes on draught. There is also a range of interesting canned beer on the top shelf of the fridge. Brewery mirrors adorn the walls, adding to the pubby atmosphere.

The bar is a wonderful facility for hotel residents, but is also open to CAMRA members and the local community. It is best to ring ahead, particularly earlier in the evening, as there is a capacity limit.

Not surprisingly, given its location, the hotel and bar are very popular during Farnborough Air Show week and you never know who you might bump into - Tim Peake and his family have stayed here!
