A Historic Landmark in the Heart of Surrey
History Meets a Modern Pour
"Since 1735, we have been the living room of Farnham—where time-honored traditions meet the finest local ingredients."
Farnham's Oldest Traditions
Located at No. 9 The Borough, The Queen’s Head has served as a cornerstone of Farnham’s community since 1735. Originally established as a high-society coffee house before the town’s iconic Georgian expansion, our walls have witnessed over 300 years of English history.
Today, we bridge the gap between our storied past and the modern palate. From the original oak beams and creaking floorboards to our contemporary, locally-sourced menu, we provide a warm, authentic sanctuary in Surrey. Whether you are a long-time regular or a traveler exploring the historic Surrey Hills, you are part of our ongoing story.
What Makes Us Tick
Cask Ales & Surrey Spirits
We celebrate the craft of the pour. Our cellar is meticulously maintained to feature the finest Surrey cask ales, crisp craft lagers, and an artisanal spirits list sourced from local distillers.
Elevated British Gastronomy
Our kitchen turns seasonal, farm-to-table ingredients into modern British classics. From our famous Sunday Roasts to our contemporary vegan-friendly dishes, every plate reflects our commitment to quality local produce.
The Hidden Borough Garden
Tucked away from the bustling high street, our sun-drenched garden offers a peaceful, dog-friendly retreat. It is the perfect Farnham hideaway to enjoy a pint in the summer sun or a quiet evening under the stars.
Your Authentic Farnham Local
The Queen’s Head is more than just a pub; it is a community hub. We take pride in being a fiercely independent, dog-friendly establishment where everyone is welcome. We balance the heritage of a traditional pub with the high standards of a modern dining destination, ensuring a relaxing atmosphere for any occasion.
