Booked a special meal for husband's birthday. Now he is a REAL gourmande and a very good cook himself and so he is not often impressed but he certainly was here! To sum up we had the oaked smoked salmon and goat's cheese and artichoke starter(hmmm), then we had the Rib eye steak medallions and then ...o then the PUDDING... More

I would highly recommend... More

We went for a family get-together to celebrate a 40th wedding anniversary. The whole experience was perfect in every way, from the initial enquiry and planning right through to the end of the day itself. The food was delicious and enjoyed by everyone – with many favourable comments. The service was brilliant. The waitresses were very attentive and ensured that... More

From the warm welcome to the good wishes as we left, the whole experience was excellent. We chose from the "Prix Fixe" menu which was extremely good value, although none of the items on the full menu seemed over-priced. . The food was delicious and service was attentive without being overbearing. It is well worth searching out "The Inn at... More

I have said before The Inn is a constant in our eating out over the last ten years, but it's almost at the bottom of my garden and with food this good , why go anywhere else. We were being treated by a couple of weekenders from London who own a couple of holiday properties in the village who as... More

We recently celebrated my husbands 65th birthday with our family at the Inn at Farnborough. From our initial inquiry up to the time we walked out of the door at the end of our memorable day, the warmth and attention shown by the staff members was first class. The food was absolutely delicious and nothing was too much trouble. Because... More

Had dinner here. Was relatively quiet. Staff were pleasant enough. Food and drink were decent - all in all a pleasant enough experience. Will go back - possibly on a Friday/Saturday night when it will be busier and may have a little more "atmosphere". More

I choose The Inn at Farnborough because of the fantastic reviews on Tripadvisor and was not disappointed. Fantastic setting, nice staff, great pint of Peroni and most importantly fantastic food. Only 20 minutes from the M40 for those looking for a pit stop on a road trip. More

A wonderful location , great food and fabulous service. Sat out in a sheltered and sunny garden for a delicious lunch. Very clear that the couple who run the inn are hands on, involved and care deeply about their business. Highly recommended. More
