About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Neighbourhood gem
Heritage surroundings. Modern flavours.

Set within a 17th-century coaching inn in the heart of Farnham, The Bush offers a stylish, laid-back dining experience rooted in British seasonality and served with a side of charm. Whether you’re joining us for a long, lazy brunch or cocktails by the fire, our menus are made for lingering over.

The Garden Restaurant – a light-filled Georgian morning room with contemporary flair – sets the scene for breakfast, afternoon tea, or dinner with friends. For something more casual, settle into the Oak Lounge, where original panelling, open fires, and soft lighting create the perfect backdrop for small plates, sharers, or a classic roast.

On warmer days, our terrace and garden offer an alfresco escape just moments from Farnham’s historic high street.

Our menus include vegan and gluten-free dishes, with flexibility for other dietary preferences — just let us know when you book. Private dining and event spaces also available.

    As always first class food and high level of friendly service. As a regular Sunday luncher the occasional special or surprise main course would be appreciated,

    We're repeat visitors for Sunday lunch. It's like a home from home. Nothing fancy but just a good plate of Sunday roast. Love the way the vegetables are put on the table to help yourself. Good meat. Decent portions. Friendly staff. Comfortable surroundings. Just like a home cooked roast but without the cooking or the washing up - what's not to like?!

    We found our server Finley to be super and throughly friendly and professional but sadly we did have a hiccup with a different server when they read out the bill amount when paying. I was paying for a friends birthday and this was unnecessary. We found the music to be an inappropriate vibe. Drum k bass and pop tracks to a cream tea was not the vibe we were looking for. Lovely building though and the cream tea itself was beautiful. Not sure we would come again but it was pleasant.

    Dear Mrs Wellesley - Milligan, Thank you for your feedback. I am happy to hear that you have enjoyed your Afternoon Tea and Finley service. I am sure that my colleague was just checking to charge the right amount, I am sorry that you have found it inapproriate, also if you were asking your server to change the music they would have changed it according your your taste. I hope to see you again at the Bush. Kind regards Francesco Bartolomei General Manager
