I was torn between giving a 3 and 4, I ended up going 4 because I feel the issues could just be teething issues as they are under new management and could hopefully be turned around. Positive: The roast was gorgeous , every component was well seasoned with great flavour coming through. The negatives .. the service was god awful, like so bad it was getting funny between my table and the other tables around us, the staff need a lot more training and quickly! Ordered a coke and a ‘pint of anything on tap which is an ale or craft’ …waiter stares at me blankly and walks off, 20 minutes later nothing, flagged down another waiter, she said she’d find out what happened to our drinks, another 10 minutes goes by drinks arrive, at this point all the tables around us are staring these waiters down because all of them have been neglected and are waiting on something.. it’s like a full on stand off. Skipping pass the meal we move onto dessert, table orders cake and coffee, coffee arrives no cake.. we wait, we chat, we drink, coffees gone, cake never arrives.. We look around to try and get someone over to get the bill and finally get out of there, I may aswell have been invisible trying to get the attention of anyone was near impossible. Would I come back? If I wasn’t rushing anywhere maybe?

It's a lovely place but seems overly priced for what it is. Some mains were between £19 and £25 and they were nothing overly special like ham egg and chips or duck breast. I'm sure it's the area being Farnham it's up market town with money but still it's a pub not a restaurant at the end of the day. I doubt we would choose to go there again to eat as they're are other places with the same produce and menu for a better price. We opted for the light bites meal and that was still over £11 per meal and the sides are £6-7 pounds. They Gluten free options aren't clear either so the waiter had to run in and out to the chef to find out what was what and nowadays that's just not acceptable most pubs and restaurants really cater well for gluten free and advertise it very clearly on the menus or offer separate menus. They are dog friendly and the staff are lovely, but I know they're pushing it price wise.

Unbelievable Service, Food & of course Beer!! 🍻 I was staying local for business over 3 nights & popped in just a few moments away from my hotel in Farnham the Bishops Table..Well I'm so glad I did! The minute I walked in I was immediately greeted with a warm welcome, given a table & served at the highest level possible ✌. Pubs like this are rare & the new owners plus their wonderful staff & adorable dog Jeff & are a genuine treat. I decided not to go elsewhere for the 3 nights I was in town & Iv'e got to say that every single visit was a total pleasure! This is without doubt a properly run pub & deserves success for the future. I would highly recommend this pub to anyone who is in the area & I'm absolutely certain you will have a fabulous experience. Thank you so much guy's for making me so welcome! Jay x

My friend and I visited The Wheatsheaf on opening night, and we were not disappointed. The staff were welcoming, and the food was outstanding. We started with the pig cheek and cheese soufflé, both delicious, but the soufflé with its rich marmite cream was a standout—definitely a must-try! For mains, my friend had the burger, which she loved, while I had the chargrilled pork chop, perfectly cooked and paired with creamy mash, hispi cabbage and the best cider sauce I’ve ever tasted. We finished with the chocolate crémeux, paired with banana, caramel, and popcorn—decadent, balanced, and the perfect end to a fantastic meal. Overall, a fantastic experience at The Wheatsheaf, with great food and attentive service. Highly recommend!

Painfully unfriendly. Not made to feel welcome. Nobody smiles. You have to wait ages to get served. There’s loads of pubs in Farnham, and I can’t see a good reason to come to this one. Such a downturn from when it was run by Red Mist. I’ve been 4-5 times since they took over Red Mist. Twice I left without getting served because there’s nobody at the bar and all the staff there, including the Landlady/manager ignored me. The other times, staff have eventually arrived, but it’s obviously been an effort for them to come to the bar and serve. I don’t want to be made to feel like an inconvenience. I just cannot understand all the other good reviews. It’s got to be the worst pub in Farnham.

Dog friendly. Very expensive roast. After a bit of an awkward faff to find our booking, we were finally seated near the kitchen. After nearly 40min our lunch finally arrived, lukewarm. I was halfway through mine when I was eventually given some horseradish for my beef. The roast potatoes were exceptionally good but shame about the warmth. The cauliflower cheese portion was generous, tasty and good value. Accompanying veg all spot on but just lukewarm. They obviously love their food here but sadly, today, they missed the mark. Certainly not worth the price. I removed the gratuity that was added to my bill. I can't remember the last time that I did that.
