Situated in the heart of Farnham’s historic town centre but nestled within its own private gardens, The Bush is an independent hotel that has been welcoming guests through its doors since 1618.

Offering Breakfast, Lunch, Afternoon Tea, Dinner and a full Bar Menu, the Bush Hotel is the perfect place for any occasion.

The Oak Lounge, which dates back to the 15th century and features historic panelling and roaring fires, is the perfect spot for casual dining or relaxing with a coffee or cocktail. The Garden Restaurant, a quintessential Georgian morning room with a modern twist, offers a more formal dining setting and a beautiful space for larger events and parties. Our Garden Terrace and Gardens offer summer sun.

Our menus have vegan and gluten free options and can cater for specific dietary requirements upon request. Parking is available at the Hotel but spaces are limited.

We were well looked after by the staff although not much in the way of an atmosphere. We ordered from the festive menu and everything just tasted of salt. All in all meh….. probably wouldn’t go back which is a shame because it’s nicely decorated.

We arrived for a family Sunday lunch. There were 7 of us and we arrived slightly early but this was no trouble and we were seated a few minutes early. Service was good - and the Sunday roasts were great with plenty of vegetables and giant Yorkshire Puddings. Very very good.

Overall rating of 4 out of 5 stars (very good) and I would recommend going here. The best aspects of the restaurant are the ambience (lovely view from the window of the restaurant and the greenery inside the restaurant), the service and the noise level. I have only dropped a star for the quality of food, as well as the value for money. I would still say that the quality of the food is very good (hence 4 stars) but not outstanding. I would go here again.

The room and venue is beautiful and overall the food was very good as was the waitress we had. There was a wedding on and the guests were all in reception and at the bottom of the stairs all shouting and screaming - the noise levels were very bad. They should have shut the door to the restaurant. We ordered cocktails - they were beyond bland we sent them back. Getting a refund was challenging. So some good points but some very poor that they could easily change if they cared enough.

Took my dad here for a belated birthday dinner. He loved it. Dad struggles with hearing in some noisy restaurants but the Oak Longe was lovely, great service and great food. It felt like a real treat. No issues parking either - just enter car registration at reception and you can park for free.
