Your Independent Farnham pub, on Castle Street

Welcome to The Castle Pub & Dining, an award-winning, beautifully authentic, unfussy gastro pub and restaurant, serving freshly prepared, quality food, in the heart of Farnham's vibrant town centre at No. 5 Castle Street.

The bar and lounge area offers a relaxing haven on the high street, with various nooks, corners and seating to suit cocktails, coffees and work-from-the-pub afternoons. Our dining room enjoys a bright and airy feel, with a stunning central skylight, and large windows throughout. Venture out onto our peaceful, covered courtyard garden; a tranquil oasis within the bustle of town life.

The first floor is dedicated to stylish private dining, featuring three unique spaces: The Drawing Room, The Library and The Study. Each room offers elegance and versatility accommodating intimate dinner parties, special events and business meetings.
